You used the word "cant", not "couldn't". It's like a judgement of him as a player, not his performance yesterday . It appears like you're being anti to him.

In the second goal he should've passed it short toward the right. He's good at his feet. Levante had more players in that their half and it's risky too play long ball there. His pass might not good. Perez's heading, and position were not good.

why did he get the yellow card? That free kick lead to goal.

As a general midfielder, his passing accuracy is not as good as Busquet, Rakitic. As a Barca midfielder, he's not skillful. His heading is ok. His long shot is ok but Rakitic also has quite good long shot.

I just reviewed this match but what I know about Busquet in previous matches is that if Valverde plays him, he pushes De Jong high and plays double attacking midfelders. De Jong has improved a lot in supporting the attack and Arthur and De Jong make a good attacking midfield pair. He has very...

what is "aesthetic style"?

Barca's pressing was broken a lot of times. It's very dangerous. The aging of Messi and Suarez might contribute to this.

De Jong didn't mark Sensi or block passing lane to Martinez. Pique must jump out of his position to press Sanchez leaving space behind for Martinez. Busquet was slow to press Sanchez. Pique's clearance was bad. The positions of the midfield trio ( Arthur / De Jong / Busi ) were not good to...

he played Busi so De Jong can be pushed higher and supports Messi with Arthur. Strong middle field attack but a bit worrying about Busi on transition. without a speedster Inter can park the bus with higher defensive line making it harder for Barca.

If he can not replace Suarez, it will be tough for him. Speedy winger has been a tradition in the football world. And in this pressing era it's even more important because when teams press high they leave a lot of space behind. Having a speedy winger is very useful. Even if GM has very good...

where does that stat come from? in this https://understat.com/player/2098, he's been going to worse season after season. But he's not that bad. 21 goal with 24.39 xG. Just a bit bad. That's about shooting accuracy. This xG doesn't talk about his movement to create chances for himself and his...

70' He left his position and left space for Hazard. Should've let Griezmann cover Hakimi. That's chances is 0.55 xG https://www.infogol.net/en/matches/result/champions-league/dortmund-vs-barcelona-2019-09-18/39991 74' He didn't run fast enough and let Sancho pass to Hakimi, though it's not easy...

He left too much space between him and Lenglet and Reus expoilt it.

in minute 24 his attempt to press Hummels failed and Dortmund played through Barca's pressing and counter-attacked. That's a good chance for Reus and best chance of DM in first half. He need more experience.

Against Dortmund, he didn't defend much and give their CBs a comfortable game playing out wide for Sancho, Hakimi. Dortmund attacked through right flank a lot and he's responsible for some of Dortmund good chances. He's not fit for current football - defends and presses as a team. In pressing...
