Presume it will be Gordon - Raphinha - Adeyemi if Yamal is out. Which does leave the creative factor a little lacking, especially if we're anticipating a low block. So wonder if it could be Gordon - Olmo - Raphinha.

RM players not trusting Diomande by the looks of it. Got no service at all.

Like him a lot.

Hasn't looked soft to me at all. Uses his body pretty well actually.

Who's even his competition?

Some nice looking things in there The way he starts the goal at 0:43 is pretty special. We've had a few of these short, springy dribblers whose physicality one could've been tempted to compare to Messi's (Dani Rodriguez, Quim Junyent comes too mind), but I would wager Garces is the first one...

For my money one of the most promising talents coming up. Just named MVP of some tournament for U18.

Nice to see Sevilla back in a respectable guise.

So far he does more or less what one could have hoped from Alvarez. And with Gordoyemi filling the left flank, it could work out pretty well.

My comment was on his performance in the Elche game specifically. I do in fact have complaints about his performance last night.

Feelings of superiority combined with anxiety of not living up to your own hype. You avoid trying too hard so as not to fail. Pretty classic pattern. Just needs to learn this side of himself and get on with it. Feet back on the ground and get stuck in.

Big upgrade from Rashford.

Since others are settling old bets, I would like the record to state that I said on the old forum this guy has the best chance of reaching 1st team out of current contenders

Decent today, got better as game went on and had that one nice interception and pass. Still think him too tentative and languid off the ball. The difference I see in comparison with someone like Rodri is that Rodri arrives 20% quicker on his spot every single time. Which is why he plays as many...

Bernardo Silva and Dumphries looked very meh. Vini pretty poor too for most of the game. Güler decent. Carry job for Jude and Kylian this season.

Kubo's level is shocking. Hasn't put a foot right all game.

Anyone who's watched him for a minute should know he was never going to be the teacher's pet. He's obviously got an ego, it's basically woven into how he plays, which means you have to take the good with the bad. Arrogance comes out in different ways. Messi's quiet surperiority was all...

Just saw highlights from the Villareal game. Very satisfying to see Le Normand sent off for that classic Atleti defender move. Villareal GK probably should have saved both goals against him.

Very quick witted guy. Had some really nice interceptions by reading the game well and quickly seizing a window for a challenge. Defensively he sort of held his own, wasn't afraid to use his body. But obviously one could see his limits being overcome by a better winger or in a footrace.
