    Vitor Roque

    I think he's about Braithwaite level. Even when things were working out for him against Mallorca, it just looked unconvincing. Something clearly missing.

    Refs hate him for some reason. Gets no protection at all.

    8 - Pedri

    A player that was always better in our heads than on the pitch. The redolence of Iniesta is hollow, has mostly to do with inconsequential details. In terms of actual presence on the pitch, how they influence the game, there is very little resemblence.

    8 - Pedri

    Frenkie twisted his ankle in a way that would put anyone on crutches. Pedri injured himself by playing a pass.

    João Cancelo

    "Pass it, don't dribble, pass, no, he's gonna lose it, he's gonna lose it, he's losing it, he lost it." - me, approx 5 times pr game.

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Kounde constantly close to giving it away

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Just a sprained ankle. Most likely a couple of weeks out

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Pedri has zero killer instinct. Huge chance and he looks completely nonchalant messing up his touch.

    Frenkie de Jong

    The dimwits calling him out for taking too long on the ball are mistaking responsibility for passivity. We have plenty of circulation for the sake of circulation. We never fucking get anywhere. What he's doing is taking it upon his shoulders to actually progress the ball in a meaningful way...

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Christensen looks like he's about to shit himself everytime the ball is played to him. With him and idling Pedri, our 4 man midfield looks like 2,5.

    Sure it would. He could start by simply instructing Pedri not to defend like this: https://streamin.me/v/1f94ae03 That would be a pretty good start.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Defensively we're likely to be improve pretty drastically under a new coach. Our midfielders play basically without any positional disciplin. We sacrifice all shape and structure in favor of this erratic indiscriminate pressure.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Ought to keep him despite the poor performances. Decision making can be improved, sometimes radically under a new coach. That kind of physicality is always an asset.

    Frenkie de Jong

    What was obvious in his absence is that everything grinds to a halt without his off-the-ball contribution. He's probably the single most important player on the pitch. That's not to say he's not without his faults. But the complications with him leaving will be much bigger than if it was Pedri...

    Guille Fernández

    This one is my pick. You watch a lot of these youngsters with impressive highligts, but much of what they appear to some degree incidental. With this guy there is intent and composure. That thing which tells you it can be replicated at any level.

    8 - Pedri

    Everything about his body language signals 'don't play me the ball'. Two 16 year olds and a 17 year old on the pitch and he's the one who looked like a kid.

    8 - Pedri

    Tried to be cute and got embarassed. Needs to cut that out of his game.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    It's clear he's got a hammer of a right foot but he never seems to line it up right. If he sorts it out that medium range shot could be a killer.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Haven't seen many, if any, 16 year olds with that sort of composure and vision. Think we have a gem on our hands here. Looked decently speedy as well.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    Even in normal 1v1 situations, he was giving Vini an absurd amount of space space. Just kept backing up, afraid to take the confrontation. His head wasn't there at all. Nervous and overzealous at the same time.
