Much more so than Raphinha at least, who some people keep suggesting should play as 10/AM or whatever. Just because he struggles when pushed wide to the sidelines, doesn't mean he's got the skills to be an attacking focal point centrally.
Do not miss this guy. Yamal might not be as fast, but his decision making alone and ability to complete simple passes without giving the ball away makes up for it easily
I don't think Raphinha has good enough decision making, weight of pass or dribbling skills to be a 10/ AM or whatever.
It's true that he has football IQ in the sense that he often makes good runs, gets into good scoring positions and therefore contributes really well with G/A.
But I cannot...
Our midfield is such a joy to watch.
Hope paralluelo can get more involver in the 2nd half. Aitana hasn’t seen enough of the ball in dangerous areas either. CGH on fire🔥
Would be incredibly interesting to see what Motta could do with this group of players.
If not Motta, keep Xavi and stop fucking around. Gives the club an enormously unprofessional look when it seems like decisions are made based on Laportas feelings from day to day.
He was literally in the...
Really baffles me how Motta hasn’t been linked to us when he is overachieving in the serie a while being a former Barca player.
We should be all over him considering our obsession with former players and Barca DNA.
Second yellow shouldn't have been given, but our team was better overall nad I believe we would have found a way to win either way. Pleasure to watch even tho a lot of players like Hansen, Rolfö and Paralluelo didn't shine their brightest.
Think Motta isn't really an option while Laporta is Predsident unfortunately. They supposedly had a bad fallout back when he played here. But otherwise also my favourite candidate.
He was absolutely useless. Should have been taken off instead of Yamal.
His hold up play and overall play was straight up garbage, think he'd had 5+ ball losses before the red card alone. Made bad calls on several occasions and skied our best chance from the penalty spot.
Awful at counter...
A win could be monumental to our season and carry us to the CL final and potentially to a win Against RM in the weekend.
Nervous as hell, no doubt they'll pressure us like crazy, don't have too much confidence in our build up. Would start Pedri just to help with that aspect. Then Fermin can come...
Yeah share the same concerns. Think Xavi will opt for a somewhat conservative approach similar to the first leg, which would've been okay had CHristensen been available.
Don't see how a midfield consisting of Gundo and just-returned from injury Pedri and FDJ can bring the necessary intensity...
