Have the media ruined De Jong?

[bazbarrybazzer]

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.

Got to be a joke, yeah?

He's not been the same since the media attention. Blind if you think otherwise.

Ergo, End of thread

 

[Dave S]

I thought he was back to his best tonight to be honest.

 

[Dickovs Right Foot]

two words

MY HERO

 

[bluefandk]

He looked very shaky against Blackpool, and started with a couple of horrid mistakes tonight, but after that he looked like our Nige again hopefully this is a sign, that it wont effect him any longer.

He is not a dirty player, fair enough some tackles have been dodgy, but the way the media has portrayed his tackle isnt really fair, Plus the way the media have slated him. What about the tackle on Haaland?? That was the worse tackle i had seen in a few seasons yet the media have made DeJongs tackle out worse,

And how would YOU portray his tackle...?

 

[Why Always Ste]

He was back to his self tonight, soon as one of poznan's players did a really dirty tackle on Zabaletta, this got Nige going and he shown some really nice tackles.

in the 2nd half after their goal he was walking around like a true leader getting the teams morale up

 

[Citizen Green]

Nope, he looked his old brilliant self today, that double tackle he did in the first half cemented this for me. He will be back to his best on Sunday, stopping Fabregas from playing.

 

[goatboy]

he and mancini alike are aware of the extra media attention at the minute and are probably just holding back a tiny bit until the furore dies down, one quiet game at blackpool and people are jumping the gun lol.

anyone elses blood boil at the commentry saying its all well and good de jong smiling after that tackle but what if he'd caught the guy. for the love of god let us finish top four this year so we dont have to listen to the shit on channel 5 next year
