He had a really bad game. He just had such a good performance vs Sociedad that everyone was hyped for him, including me. .

Relying on Kroos-Modric-Casemiro since 2013 :tata: amazing when you think about it. Its surpassing the longevity of Xavi-Busi-Iniesta

also not scared to shoot or pass to someone else when messi is right by him. Very confident. Puig is also sort of this way.

Well put

I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big big trouble.

That midfield trio you speak of was discussed in this forum 2, even 3 years ago as "getting old and will fade away eventually". I agree they are only getting older, but to rely on your rival fading away because they are getting older is not the strongest mentality to have. We should strive in...

I'm just not convinced yet. He has played his same way with or without Busi. Next season is crucial for FDJ's career here. There's a real chance that Ilaix could develop to be a lot better player. We will see.

No one is trolling, even commentator Ray Hudson mentioned they are probably doing these subs to rest Benz for Liverpool (not sure if he mentioned Kroos). Why would he put Marcelo and Mariano in who have barely been factors to RM's success this season?

Arguably a bigger jinxer than Fati BD'or

Nope! Completely false! They needed Marcelo's speed on the wing, Isco's creativity, and Mariano's goal scoring instincts to win. How could you not see that??

I am counting down to Haaland's signing so I can see FDJ turning into a 10/10 midfielder.

The question is what we will do with the rest of the squad if Haaland or Mbappe are signed? Expert posters here believe FDJ will be like a Kroos or Modric if he has better attackers in front of him. What about the defense? We aren't so sure if Araujo and Mingueza are good enough to start in big...

Better than Pedri and FDJ today

How times have changed... I remember those discussions here 4 years ago

First half was all theirs, everything. They could have scored 3 if it wasnt for terrible blunders by Vini. Everything tactically was wrong for Barca in first half. Second half Barca looked better. I still don't know why he subbed on S.Roberto though. No need, RM was already tired and playing in...

I think the complaints people have about him are very legit and not an overreaction from the Clasico. He isn't that much better than 18 year old Pedri and near MLS age Busi. Like fergus said, he was signed to be the player that our midfield is built around. Essentially a Kroos/Modric type...

I too found his sub to be a bit strange. I think Puig could've offered more. He doesn't look 100 % fit to me.

He is very ballsy, in the sense that if he is a step too slow to the 50/50 ball or if his positioning is just slightly off, the opposition attackers would be through on goal. I counted at least 3 chances where he got very fortunate that he intercepted the ball or else Benz/Vini would be 1v1 vs MATS.

Seemed tired and/or nervous to me. Still amazing that he's such a regular for club and country at age 18. His potential is very high. Just hoping he stays fit.

Every single time for me, even in his supposed “good” games. He was hyped to be our best mid when he was signed, let’s not forget that
