Frenkie de Jong

[Andrew M]

He's young and it's his first season in one of the poorest teams we've had in awhile.

 

[DonAK]

Then we have Kike playing him as a LM. He should still do better, made some really poor decisions, but why do we sign so many players without a plan on how we're going to use them?

Played out of position , the same garbage all the Coutinho fans boys used to say.

The guy has been a major flop , nowhere near as good as the hype in here.

Major flop? Fuck outta here. Go suck off Rakitic, who is by far the worst Barca midfielder.

FdJ today
62/67 passes, 1 key pass, 2/2 dribbles, 0/1 tackle, 1 interception, 3 total loss of possession

Not a great game from him, and neither was it from most Barca players.
You trying to push an agenda is pathetic.

What a sad cunt you are.

 

[5ergio_Busquets]

There are some players who can't do wrong and it's always the fault of the coach or their team mates when they don't perform, De Jong is one of them. This guy is extremely overrated.

 

[Devils]

Damn this guy was schooling Bayern, MAdrid and Juve's midfield last year and now he looks like just another average midfielder at Barca.

Barcelona is a graveyard for talent these days dawg.

SMH.

 

[te amo barca]

Playing like rich man's Gomes in that forward LCM role.

 

[Devils]

Playing like rich man's Gomes in that forward LCM role.

One might even say Gomes is playing better than him right now.

Dude is getting a lot of praise at Everton right now and not just from Everton fans.

Damn...

Some players are system players.

Arda was awesome at Atletico.
Shit in other clubs.

Busi is a Goat only in 433 surrounded by Xavi and Iniesta.
Put him in any other formation or pair him with any other players and he is a half of a player compared to 433.

About Frenkie, for now all we know that Ten Hag didn't want to play him in attack, because he sucks.
And he thrived in a 4231 as a double pivot, where at least one guy (Schone or De Roon) were covering for him.

So, regarding 433:
1. He will suck as a CM
2. Regarding a lone pivot role, hard to tell. Iirc, he didn't play in that lone role too much at Ajax and Netherlands
3. Further, who will cover for his back? Arthur who is dead after 50 minutes and who is far from a defensive beast?

Barca has a specific system which not too many clubs in the world play.
And then we are buying players from other teams who play differently (Dembele, Cou, Griezz, Frenkie, Arthur) and we try to fit them into our system.

And then we are surprised when these players struggle.

 

[Jallo]

He looks lost out there, I wish Setien could simplify his job. Him and Griezmann don’t seem like they understand where and when to be.

 

[Laplacian]

This is what happens when you have an unbalanced squad, great talents have their development stalled by being played out if position!

Please board, keep neglecting the importance of wingers and keep buying more strikers. Can't wait for the lautaro/Suarez/Messi trio.

This. Who is performing well? Yep..

SMH.

This. But i think our system and tactics doesn.t really help him.

Fuck off keyboard warrior.
The guy has been a complete flop , statistics dont make a player you fool .

 

[JPM85]

This. But i think our system and tactics doesn.t really help him.

Which tactics?, because it really looks we have no clue what we are doing.

I saw Frenkie doing runs at least 3 times in the first half and he was the most forward player.
We have no striker at this point in time and we have a so called 'GOAT' who doesn't understand the concept of attacking. Drops deep to his own half to distribute to who?
Vidal is a great warrior but he is not the type of player to put up front, the guy will walk his legs off to help but I have no idea wat Setien wants him to do.

We need to fix a lot of things, before we start calling players like Frenkie deadweight or flop.
You can't buy a player who is a LCDM in 4-2-1-3 set-up and just drop him anywhere on the pitch.

Fuck off keyboard warrior.

Fuck you and your hyperbole. Major flop? You’re the keyboard warrior, you delusional mug with an agenda.

Again go suck off Rakitić. He needs it as he’s been shit for a long time.
