AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Massively pleased he started and did well. Absolutely key he plays a lot IMO, although I feel sorry if Ayoze has to miss out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'd love to see a 4-3-1-2 with him just behind Mitroze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I still think there's space for De Jong and Perez in the side with Sissoko moving to the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I still think there's space for De Jong and Perez in the side with Sissoko moving to the centre. Agreed. Sadly, I think barring any injuries. We'll be playing the same XI, until we get hammered a couple of times. Then we'll panic and McClaren will tinker, again.

joeyt Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Did he come off injured? Thought I saw him holding his hamstring at one point when he came off but he might have just been knackered after too much fresh air for one day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Different class De Jong. Criminal it's taking this long for us to give him a good opportunity. Fair enough injuries have massivley stalled his progress but he's been 'fit' for a good while now and still been restricted to pointless cameos. Barring any furthur injuries, we should be looking to build our play around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring any furthur injuries, we should be looking to build our play around him. Yup. Mad to think this was only his second start for us in the league? Has an air of "knowing" about him. Just a natural footballer. Looks to have a good understanding with Wijnaldum. Really needs to start every game as long as he stays fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 He was constantly involved. Perez usually comes in and out of games. De Jong was consistent. Asked for fouls a bit too easily but he hasn't had a chance to learn the game here properly yet. Seems a leader which is vital. As someone said is handy in the air and a tremendous work ethic. With Cisse looking to get in behind his lack of pace wasn't such a big factor but you would reckon he and Mitro up top would be way too slow. Much like Cisse, compared to the young lads he seems to have a better attacking intuition and movement in the box. He was one of the more long-term strategic benefits from the game other than the extra effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It is such a big benefit having a thinker and a talker out there. I haven't watched the full game yet but looking forward to seeing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 played yesterday. He needs to start and another big plus is his leader-skills. Just sad Perez play same position...but there should be plenty of game time for both in that position...also perez can cover more positions. Looks promising.

Kanj Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thought he did well, still looks far from his best and what he's capable of but liked seeing him shout, organize and drift into great positions. He's rushing his shots, and his touch in the box was a little hesitant. But like I've said before when he had his debut last season - he's constantly looking to play it first time, 1-2 and quickly which is great. We need to figure out how to make sure Wijnaldum, Perez, and De Jong play together on the pitch to be most deadly in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Really good game yesterday, great vision and first touch lay offs. Tired a bit late on just needs to start a few more games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Definitely saw him sprint at one point, closing down the keeper. Encouraging! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to get them all in to be honest, I'd like Mitro in there as well ahead of Cisse. Anita Sissoko Winjaldum Perez De Jong Mitrovic That is imbalanced but not sure formations have to be ewven though they generally are. Without Mitro its quite simple as you could use the threat from Winjaldum, Perez and De Jong to counter the fact you are lacking a proper Number 9.

mozy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Understandably was rather rusty, but good to see him get some game time. De Jong behind Ayoze could be a nice partnership in certain games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Some neat touches, lacks the ability to get stuck in and press quickly like ayoze does. oozes calm though and that must transmit to those around him. Still prefer ayoze to him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
