HawK Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Every time I see him he looks like he's two moves ahead of everyone else, extremely smart, uncompromising and always finds himself in acres of space. Way too good for us, how we got him and for so cheap is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just thinking about it - Janmaat has adapted to the demand of the league far quicker. He's equally paced, if not 1/2 a step or so better. He's better positioned and less prone to getting caught out. His work rate is quite brilliant, he's tracked some runs down centrally and made some great tacklers. Debuchy is probably better in the air. Debuchy probably is a better slide tackler, Janmaat seems better reading of the game. Janmaat looks better at intercepting and breaking. I'd say he's a better dribbler, better crosser, and more intelligent attacker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So he's on four yellow cards now? So he will probably get his fifth at Arsenal and be fit and fresh to face the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 This might sound like an odd thing to say, but physically he doesn't look like he should be as good as he is. His pace and strength is very good, but it's his tenacity that I like the most. He's the thing that I enjoy most about us at the moment, he's clearly a very good player.

Done really well this season. Needs to keep his nose clean vs Arsenal and Spurs, would be a massive miss for either of them, as it's probably the only position we really don't have anything in the way of cover for.* * really don't see Anita as a fullback, I know others will disagree.

I agree... was thinking 95% of our supporter base has probably not seen us win anything especially now the UEFA now claim the Fairs Cup wasn't a proper competition! As for the comparisons this lad seems a slight upgrade on Debuchy in most departments apart from aeriallly where the Frenchman was a beast especially for his size...

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Debuchy is better IMO, but Janmaat has been better for us if he keeps this up. It's the same as Remy and Ba, IMO Remy is better but Ba was better for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Apart from aerial ability I think Janmaat's as good or better than Debuchy in every respect. Have to say that replacement was brilliant business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say that replacement was brilliant business. Not sure his energy levels are quite as good as Débuchy's. That was what MD was best at and he would play with the same energy for the full 90 minutes. He's one of the fittest players I've seen play for us.

He'll happily pick and choose when to break forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
