Have the media ruined De Jong?

[Johnsonontheleft]

Ever since the Ben Arfa tackle and the completely shocking media/Dutch backlash, he just hasn't looked like our Nige.

He's like a bee who's lost his sting.

I hope this is just temporary and he'll soon be back firing on all cylinders again.

 

[City Raider]

based on what i've just seen - no!

 

[MrsB]

[lee-mcfc]

[TTTCITYBHOY]

People watch him for 1 or 2 games and start throwing around terms like 'ruined'!

If he spent a whole season not tackling anyone then we would have to worry, but its been two bloody games, you drama queens need to chill a bit.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

He's having a good game. He's not a dirty tacker so the extra scrutiny won't worry him. He win's tackles fairly

 

[Brendan110_0]

in word....NO.

 

[Blue Smarties]

He's not ruined, just being extremely clever.

Got better as the game went on. He'll be back to himself for Arsenal, and hopefully not getting sent off.
