Another flock member who assumes oppositions as spoiled emo children to elevate her existence.
Arthur
- Thread starter Jair Ventura
- Start date
he's good. the problem is he likes to be the first to receive the ball and clear the pressure etc. here Busquets is the first to receive, and he's the 2nd pass, so he usually gets the ball facing the opponent rather than receving it with his back to opponent which is his prefered feature. He doesn't have a 'clarifiying' pass, he likes to beat the pressure with body faints etc. he's receving the ball facing the two banks of four when opponent is settled, he doesnt have that kroos pass between lines

No, just an adult, who is able to analyze things without unintelligible screeching. No one is saying that Arthur had a blast of a game, but you did nothing to contribute with any constructive criticism.

Never seen a body feint from the Brazilian Xavi

More like another flock member pretending to be an adult wanna be in diapers. Did nothing for constructive criticism? You don't understand "back passes, side way passes, easiest passes, the most obvious plays"?
If plain English sounds/looks like unintelligible screeching, I guess you need more than diapers.

This is exactly what some people said about Busquets all these years, I guess Guardiola and many other managers and players who highly value him must be blind and stupid.
Some people here go out of their ways to be critical of players they don't like after a performance that they did not like. Sometimes I really wish they switched to support a different team.

Maybe you should play FIFA instead of watching football.

De Jong is what Barca needs.
Not all these back pass merchants.

Quite ironically I am starting to think he can be our next Rakitic (a physically smaller Rakitic) rather than Xavi.
Sure his movements can look like Xavi at times but his overall game seem to be more like Rakitic, he plays physically strong on defense, conservative on attack with some bursts going forward.
No, Dembele is developing well under him albeit growing pains, Coutinho is doing well, Paulinho played his best football in Europe, Deulofeu was good for his standards buy ultimately he wasn't good enough.
Only player that can fit that argument is Semedo, who was given ton of chances and played in a shit league before so tough to say he was better.

The only criticism I have is that he likes to keep the ball 1 or 2 seconds too much. There were some instances where he dribbled backwards/lateral instead of just releasing the ball to the open man and thus slowing the game a bit. But for his first game he was decent. At least until Lenglet was sent off he was quite good moving off the ball and creating superiority in midfield. After that all our players became worse which is understandable when you play with just 9 outfield players. He needs to keep it simple: pass the ball and move. Rinse and repeat.
