he plays the attacker onside for the first goal, and generally meh first half. he was good in second. Will never make (OK, maybe rarely) direct / risky passes, it's not his game.

Class again last night.

Must be a joy not to play with shite like Casado.

Olmo was levels above that wee scrote.

Most progressive player on park again and was more or less a one man midfield at times.

That second half was the most controlled the midfield has been all season and he was heart of it.

Celta could barely get near him and was in control of the match.

Laugh from anyone that agrees. Its an order.

He literally had the most progressive yds passing. Double the passes into the final third than anyone else, second most passes into the box and carried ball forward more than anyone else. Completed more long passes than anyone.

But one pass folk think should go earlier and fixate on it.

Could easily have had assist again if Lewa controls ball onto his right foot.

Yes but they want him to shoot more into crowded box

On second goal Cubarsi looked like played their player on anyway and it looked like a deliberate tactic to try and combat strikers dropping in behind.. didn't work.

Not sure when then other time was but to me looked like a deliberate idea to drop like that.. why? Would need to look again.

The red card & offside issues 1 of which led to a goal, made it a solid game, good 2nd half after a poor first.

But apparently it was one of the best performances of any midfielder this season lol

Without doubt one of best Barca midfielders performances this season.

The offsides it was a tactic or he went rogue and got pissed off with Balde and Cubarsi failing it 3/4 times between them in first 10 mins or so.

As said for 2nd goal it looked like Cubarsi had kept the wide player on also.
