Jonathan Northcroft also made the point that De Jong is in a different class. He can receive and make passes under severe pressure. This is an invaluable skill.
He completed 100 out of 104 passes. 31 of which were played forward to his front three. (It is not his fault that they wasted most of the chances created).
He certainly is a different class. Mind you it also makes a big difference when there is nobody on the other side who gets anywhere near that pass ratio and forces him on the defensive. The same applied to Pirlo in the WC.

Not being picky but does anyone know why we don't sing the England national anthem?

Frigging VAR is going to ruin our beautiful game. At this rate it'll become so sterile they'll be playing nurses uniforms!!...hate it tbh..
As ever, what seemed a good idea to the powers that be, will cause more problems than it solves. Like you say it could well ruin the game. Where does it end? Foul throws, fouls on the half way line? People will say "oh its only for the big decisions" but if a foul throw leads to a goal is that going to be subject to VAR? Or the foul on the half way line that is not spotted leads to a goal 10 seconds later? Then there is the ridiculous palava of not knowing whether to celebrate a goal or not, and if you do celebrate then feeling like s**t when two minutes later it is ruled out because somebodys toe was offside in the build up. Goal line technology should have been the end of it, and everything else left to teh ref.

Absolutely bang on...it's a debate that will rear it's ugly head at every game now and for me football is fast, furious, full of taking points and that's what makes it. The refs, including the assustants, will end up just turning to VAR now as it takes the heat off them. As for celebrating goals, it will be the case of no one will celebrate and will wait until the ref decides if it's a goal or if VAR chalks it off, all spontaneity will be gone, the jumping for joy, high fiving some random next to you, the tears of relief will turn to tears of despondency... All in all a bad idea where modern technology isn't needed or wanted by most...

I’m split to be honest - is getting to the correct decision (most of the time) worth extracting the joy of spontaneously celebrating a goal? My first reaction when a goal goes in is to glance at the lino. No flag? Crack on. If VAR is to work, they have to communicate that a goal is under review within a few seconds or we’re going to ruin the experience of watching football first hand. God forbid it ever reaches the lower leagues.

I don't think it is, no. There are poor refereeing decisions all over the pitch all the time. Any one of those incorrect decisions could lead to a goal, within a few seconds, or other game changing events, none of which will be referred to VAR. Every correct and every incorrect decision by a ref. alters the game, so unless you can get every single decision 100% correct it is pointless having VAR, as everything leading up to the contested decision has been affected by other decisons which may or may not have been correct...if you get my drift! For example, a player takes a foul throw on the half way line, which 5 seconds later results in a goal. Or a player makes a perfectly good tackle in midfield, the referee gives an incorrect foul which leads to a goal to the opposition. If trying to eliminate mistakes is the aim of VAR then where do we stop??? Do we go back a minute, or two minutes and follow what happened after a wrong decision? Players make mistakes, referees make mistakes, which is what makes it so good to watch. We don't stop play when a player makes a mistake, so why would we when another human being (well almost) the referee makes an honest mistake? You may be able to tell I am a bit aggravated about VAR
