    17 - Marc Casadó

    Great game from him. Particularly liked his pings out to the opposite wing. Has a good passing range.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    He does ok as a dynamic 9 but should not be played in a creative position. Doesn't really constribute to anything.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    obviously way too cautious, both with his passing and positioning. not a bad game but doesn't look comfortable at this level

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Looks pretty composed even when things aren't working out.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The difference in quality from 1st to 2nd half mostly due to Valencia switching off. But nice to see we have energy reserves to come out on top when late game fatigue sets in.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    Well, in football you have to run. Feel like this is a pretty bad case of rose tinted glasses for a type of player that satisfies the understated genius fantasy. You are not thinking at a lower level by recognizing that Casado had a nice assist (didn't he?) while Bernal's most salient action...

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    With what we've got I would probably go with Christensen and Casado with Raphinha as AM, Yamal on RW and Ferran or Pau Victor on LW.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    Feels like I was watching different games than anyone else. I thought Bernal looked much worse than Casado, who didn't look particularly good himself.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    eh... why are there multiple people on here suggesting that we start a 17-year old pivot who in his first semi-competitive game nearly cost two goals by individual mistakes?

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The one thing I want to see this year is some actual chemistry between our core players. Yamal, Pedri, Frenkie, Gundo, Lewy, maybe Raphinha but he's not that type of quality. Seen sparks here and there but don't think we've had the real thing for quite some years.

    If we truly rejected 25m from Everton and end up not getting another offer then that is one of the dumbest decisions in club history.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    I think he's got talent but wouldn't count on him. No matter how talented you are, there's a minimum of physical qualifications you need in order to play modern top football. Not just strength or pace, but lightness, dynamism, overall athleticism. A player like Pedri is currently cutting it...

    22 - Marc Bernal

    Got nothing against the guy for making a mistake as a 17-year old but that was 100% his fault. As a pivot you are going to be receiving those kinds of passes under pressure from attackers. Ideally you are aware of the pressure around you and react accordingly. And if you don't feel aware (as...

    Casado is fine, nothing special, but might be ok because of work rate

    2024/25 Preseason

    bernal is far from ready. walks too much, hides from the ball, is a snoozefest in possession and has already cost a huge change by losing it beacuse too nonchalant

    2024/25 Preseason

    but this is what you get with classic (non-inverted) wingers. just switch pau and raph and let them attack

    Flick summarizes the tour

    It worries me a bit Flick talking about needing more courage in the pressing. To me it looked like we were already a bit too brave, overextending ourselves and leaving big holes through the chains. Would like to see some more coordination instead before we up the intensity further. Of the...

    2024/25 Preseason

    True, biggest disappointment for me. Think he's actually been poor since joining the b-team, perhaps should have waited a year.
