22 - Marc Bernal

[Andresito]

Good to see people in here highlighting his flaws despite his two goals. His goals are nice to have but he will need a solid base of skills as a midfielder first and foremost.

Still clearly in development and for this season I'm just content with him regaining his fitness and keep adapting to senior football. Next season he will have to find his role in midfield and keep growing into that. For one he could use his big body more efficiently both in possession and in defence.

His passing is certainly not at the required level yet.. he has everything else .. at his age baskets was a master at passing already but maybe he was an anomaly too. Like I said.. with bernal its time to sell gavi and cassado to benifit financially and bet on new upcoming talents . I have seen enough of gavi and cassado.

Busi made his debut at 20 which is 1.5 year older than current Bernal. And tbf even Busquets was sloppy, giving the ball away a lot in the first months or so.

Let's hope his ceiling is high and he continues to improve. I like his instincts for goals but his passing and decision making still need alot of work.
He's clearly a Flick favourite so Gavi and Cassado really need to think about their futures here.

Busi made his debut at 23 which is 4 years older than current Bernal. And tbf even Busquets was sloppy, giving the ball away a lot in the first months or so.

I guess it's a typo but Busi debuted at 20, he played in the WC-2010 final at 21 (and 11 months).

This is a season defining game for him. Performance was good and not as good as the two goals as most have suggested. But it's going to give him the confidence to grow and he will now have a mini run before Frenkie returns.

Was basically a mini Mikel Merino last night.

Lewa should start packing his belongings. We have found our 9

Nothing more is expected in this season after his ACL. With the pre-season, it starts to count for him. But in any case, these 2 goals will boost his confidence through the roof, which is also an important aspect for a young player.

I saw people writing him off after a couple of games and that he doesn't have what it takes. Way too early for those conclusions.
