Absolutely he has. He moves around the field with real grace , moves the ball easily with both feet and passes with precision. When I see him watching others trying to cross to a spoecific target i think I occasionally see despair in his eyes.

I thought not only was his tackling amazing, but his passing was very sharp and accurate. Was quite a shock to see him moving the ball around like that as his passing at some times has just been head shaking, face palming, frustrating.

De Jong was fucking top on saturday, but still these are the situations he's best in, he still shouldn't be anywhere near the 11 against shit teams.

Agreed, I think a more attacking midfield pairing for the lighter weight midfields, which is why I think Ireland is still important to our team. Until we sign Fabregas of course.
