Pedri isnt necessarily having a bad game but what exactly is his role supposed to be on the pitch? He is not adding anything playing out wide.

His minutes need to be managed, especially at this stage of his career. Someone needs to explain that to him. Did he really need to play yesterday? We would have been fine without him imo and he would have been fresh for the Clasico. He wants to play 90 minutes every game but by...

As bbz said it seems he is more of a possession recycler. He is an ideal fit for a 4-3-3 but not a 4-2-3-1. He doesn't have the characteristics to play in a double pivot imo. He would be a defensive liability in a team that already is generally weak in physical attributes. Look at how Sevilla...

He is something like an old fashioned CF. Big, tall, aggressive, Like Jan Koller maybe?

Wow. Barto is done.

His minutes will come in the Copa del Rey. :benitez:

What also bothers me is: 1. Who will play as 9 when he needs to rest? 2. De we have a player who can function effectively as a 9? 3. Should we purchase or loan a striker ? 4. Should Koeman use Braithwaite more in the 9 role.

Dembele would have been useful here. Trincao has done absolutely nothing since coming on.

I would like someone to explain to me why he starts every match. Is it because he is a captain?

1-1. Entertaining game so far. Everytime Sevilla gets a corner and looks like they will score. RK needs to fix that.

Just a week ago Journos were going crazy about his hattrick and that Barca were stupid to let him go. :VdB:

Apart from Mbappe, I can't think of a better player around his age atm. Think he's already surpassed Vinicius and Rodrygo. Vinicius might be a better dribbler and has speed but his finishing is horrible. Out of ten chances he probably scores 1.

Looks like he's finally going to Man Utd after all. 2 year deal. Could actually be a decent signing for them if he stays healthy.

Always been a big fan of this guy. Incredible that no one has activated that release clause. Would you describe him as a destroyer or a b2b midfielder or maybe both.

Turtlesquets and Alena are horrible but Puig with De Jong in a double pivot is still bad. Puig is not a natural ball winner or a dlp like Pjanic. We would be too feather weight in midfield tbh.

:VdB:

Solskjaer and that other guy Woodward are deluded imo. They should focus on fixing their back line. Crystal Palace could have easily put four past that them a week ago. Buying another attacker wouldn't fix their problems.

Koeman says he counts on him so he stays unless the board has other ideas. :benitez:

He should take the loan deal. Even Pedri is ahead of him in the pecking order.

We already have too many similar players in attack. What skillsets will he bring that we don?t already have ?.
