Frenkie de Jong

[hardyboy]

He should start ahead of Gavi against Inter.

He should start ahead of Gavi against Inter.

Xavis logic: Gavi needs to start to revenge Bastonis mockery .. Catalan/Andalusia pride

 

[Masetro10]

FDJ useless in 30 minutes today.

 

[BusiTheKing]

a few positive actions when he got on the ball but looked a bit lazy

 

[Richard.H]

Needs to find another club, there is really no reason for Busi the Dinosaur to play over him.

 

[Horatio]

Great impact. Want to say we should really try more Gavi Pedri Frenkie but Inter were playing on counter. Don't know how theyll fare against more attacking team.

at the end he was just as hopeless as the others when inter were countering. had some spark when coming on and actually had lots of space to run into, which is his thing.

 

[BusiTheKing]

transition from defence to attack is A LOT quicker with him in the middle

 

[JamDav1982]

Much better than Busquets and was left with numbers to defend when Barca had to go all out to try and win game late on.

Levels above Busi.. but that is sword Xavi has fallen on.

 

[fergus90]

He advanced the ball very well and made a real difference but defensively he's so passive too.

Needs to be starting and the club needs a DM to accompany him. He deserves much more than to be sat on the bench with busi-gavi-pedri starting.

Not as hopeless. Woeful in defending sometimes but definitely helps in attack once we chase the goal. Was seen against Bayern and Frankfurt last season.

Hes back!

 

[Temptation]

Why does the best mid at the club not start?

 

[kattanib]

Barca has always played with a 3 midfield + 1 .. Messi drops back

Today we are playing with two wingers, we have never done that and its stupid. Our core is to control the midfield and Xavi is not doing that

Maybe if he was a Barca player and a midfielder back in the days he would have understood that. Maybe if he played under Pep he would have understood that as well. Oh wait, he did.

 

[feggydinho]

We need him to start, but we also need a defensive guy with him when he goes forward
