Frenkie de Jong

[Jaguar]

This guy has everything in the locker except consistent finishing. Needs to work on that.

Unfortunately wasn’t Frenkie Lampard today. Shame.

Great match. Really reminds me of EPL type midfielders, which I don't mind. He brings in something that's not traditional Barca like, but could be very useful in CL KO ties. That x factor that opposition wouldn't expect.

Xavi and Iniesta didn't had finishing too... I expect from MF player to be more like delivery, dribbling, passing players than game change scoring players.

don't think Xavi or Iniesta would have missed 2 empty netters in 1 game.

Xavi and Iniesta are also like both top 5 midfielders of all-time.

Lol i remember that xavi has also missed some easy chances, by the way i dont know why people are overreacting here because of one good chance which De Jong has missed. He has proved that he has a good finishing this season by scoring lots of important goals. Messi and Ronaldo have also missed tap ins in their career, does this mean they are both chelsea torres level ?!

Now imagine a striker like haaland instead of de jong in certain situations. How many runs by de jong with so much space to explore but he cant do much with it because he is not a striker.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Pretty sure in game against Getafe midweek it said he got 33kmh+. That’s fast, can keep up with most players. He brings much needed speed and athleticism in midfield as well as his unreal technical ability.

 

[FCMessi]

De Jong sure has many strengths.

the 2 empty net misses also showed how heavily he relies on the inside of his right foot.

Griezmann might not have scored his chip if he had played it with the inside of his left.

then there is through balls and passes De Jong hasn't seem to be very fond of.

 

[vegitot]

Lmao De Jong misses two great chances but at the end he still plays well and Barca wins. It is enough. He is the second best Barca player now.

Wait 10 years please, and I will show you 2 goals where Frenkie had great finishing.

I tend to agree with you. He was shit yesterday but overall he scores a lot for a MID and he is our engine...

 

[Kul_z]

Lungs of this barca team. Too bad that pedri and busi are slow as turtles

 

[mc_lovin]

I catch myself reading his redcafe thread from time to time. Hilarious stuff. Him and Messi are the main reasons why we are good to watch. Just imagine this team with Rabiot instead of him

Still cant believe that some people have such a hard time spotting/recognizing his talent. All it took for me was watching a single Ajax game. His technique is glorious.
