Siem de Jong (still alive)

Is he going to get any quicker than he is now? Genuine question for those that have seen him play for other sides.

 

Nope, that's a similar pace to what he had in Holland.

3 starts and written off. Classic.

 

Hyperbolic wummery.

 

This man is keeping our best player out of the team when we are in a relegation battle and people are calling to continue giving this guy time to get used to the league :lol:

 

Aye, let's ensure he's used to it by the time the season ends and it's a clusterfuck.

 

Perez should definitely be picked ahead of him but there's no way I'm going to write SDJ off after a small amount of games.

Despite some nice touches he just looks way too slow for the league, like he always wants miles more time than he's going to get in England.

This was what I thought when we signed him.

This is it. He's clearly not rubbish but he's not up to the pace. Much the same way colback gets caught out.

Not going to write him off just yet but like has been said when you weigh up what he brings to the team in comparison with Perez it's a no brainer. We can't afford to carry him into form when we're fighting at the wrong end of the table. We need results and we need them now, Perez is our best chance at that if it is to be one or the other.

Hoping he continues to improve with fitness. He can be useful for us. That said. Fucking horrific miss that should have given us 3 hugely important points. Let's hope those two or three points that would have been gained on relegation teams/villa won't cost us our premiership status come may.

There's room for all three. He shouldn't be keeping him out. Perez & De Jong behind Mitrovic, with Wijnaldum, Sissoko and one of Colback/Anita in midfield.

He's had 3 starts in God knows how long, first run of games in what, 18 months potentially? In the first two starts they weren't games where we were battering the opposition and him getting onto things. Today was the first real sniff of a goal (apart from Cisse's bastard head last week), he's had. I'll forgive him for being a bit rusty in those sorts of positions at this stage of this come back. I think he'd benefit from Ayoze & Mitrovic in the same side as him rather than instead of him, and I think the other two would benefit over a full 60-70 minutes from having De Jong's intelligence and vision there with them too.

There's just no urgency about him, and I'm not sure I see that changing however many chances he is given. Perez is better, so should play instead.

 

If he had a better midfield 2 behind him I think he'd be more effective. But yes he looks like he's trying to run in a swimming pool at times.
