Lacks concentration, which in the decisive moments it's crucial. Keep him as a backup if the transfer fee is low enough, otherwise return. I think Font can start for us next season, even ahead of Balde.

That last goal is on him. He needs to be a lot stronger against Brahim, there were many chances he could have slid in but was absolutely lethargic. Could have easily also made a foul and taken the yellow. We can't be competitive if our midfield isn't physical enough. I don't think it's a...

His work rate is terrible and just likes to hog the ball. I am starting to agree we may not need him after all.

Honestly, there must be a CDM in La Masia better than him. Such a liability every time he comes on!

I think he just needs to improve his first touch if he wants to succeed in a Barca midfield. But he is a great squad player, very competitive.

If a decent offer comes along he must be sold, these are the kind of players Barcelona need to use to sort out their finances. I'm sure Faye would do a better job.

He was never as good as people hyped (new Davies?), but the system doesn't help. Balde needs the element of surprise to be effective, needs a proper winger on his side to take away the attention from him. Xavi is deploying Balde the same way he deploys Cancelo, and they are completely different...

Negotiating tactic from the agent, I don't think he wants to leave. But if he does, we need to go for Silva and Joao on loan.

Isn't he on mega wages? There is no way Atletico are going to pay his wages and loan him for free to a direct competitor. So I can't see how would we even register him.

There is just no way we can't hold this lead playing the way we are playing. Busquets has been especially poor.

Seriously, is this guy our best defender? He can defend like Araujo but then is superb at bringing the ball out from defence. Still can't believe we got him for free!

Don't trust anyone coming from Atletico, but he is definitely better than Ferran. Last year of contract, for 10m and mid-wages he would be a good option for the squad next season.

I've noticed in the last couple of games he needs to seriously work on his vision. He simply doesn't see through balls the way Pedri does for example.

Average game, but how did he not pass it to Ferran on that counter!?! He is so scared about using his right foot.

He is absolutely dreadful. Depay is 10x the player Ferran is but we are letting the former go first.

I thought he was very good for a change. His calmness helped the midfield and made intelligent runs that helped with possession. He may not be a starter but is a really good sub, a bit how like Ancelotti uses Camavinga.

Absolute liability. Atletico targeted his side. His positioning is terrible and under pressure he needs to have lot more composure than what he shows. Both problems can be fixed, he is still young, but Xavi has a lot of work to do there if he is supposed to be our future left back.

At the moment, he is having a double negative impact, he doesn't produce anything and wastes Dembele's talent on the left. This is where Xavi needs to step up and find him another position or bench him (even if he cost 50m).

Needs to start adding more concentration into his game, came on and did nothing today other than give the ball away. Didn't even bother tracking Gosen back.

Watch it again, he wasn't caught flat-footed. As soon as the pass was made, he gave up on the ball and started staring at Lautaro. A ball lobbed that high should always be challenged by the defender. You will not see any other professional defender at this level defend like that.
