Am I right?
Personally though, I do really like De Jong plays; quietly and effectively. If you look at all of the scum goals, not one of them came through him.
1st - Throw in from left wing whilst Micah was still blaming everyone and some good individual skill from Shrek.
2nd - Corner onto Fletchers head that should've been dealt with by the Big Defenders we have.
3rd - Same as 2nd.
4th - Quick ball into Owen from Giggs after a freekick went the wrong way and way after normal realms of ET. Oh, and when did he go off?
Actually, I don't feel the need to defend the Schlong, he seemed to do that very well himself on the pitch!
who has said De Jong is shit? You made that up. I said he was shite in Derby and one of the main reasons why we lost the midfield in second half and the game.
My overall opinion of him I said on topic dedicated to him last week. Not world beater nor complete shite.
To say that he did well there as defensive midfielder in a side that conceded four is nothing sort of ridiculous.
Would you have said Given didn't have a good game then? It's too much of a generalisation to say that.
