    17 - Marc Casadó

    Average at best and another game with Pedri/Casado together where team struggle. On ball he doesn't have much idea how to control game and off it he left gaping holes for Girona to go through in middle of park time and again. Eric was better in midfield when went in. Casado is from the Puig...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Nah he was good yesterday when include that assist. Not natural position but played well. That run he made for it was something they clearly worked on and kept drifting over there. Ran all day. Never stopped and kept ball moving. Barca needed that in a front four that in last few games is...

    Luis Enrique

    The reality is Raphinha was thinking about leaving as did not like playing under Xavi or think he was being treated fairly. 23 goals/assists is good.. not sure can be couting assists on own goals from Antwerp mind you or goals v Barbarasto in cup though really. But the reality is he was not as...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Girona were the fresher of the two sides given the last two weeks intl football and injuries. Barca were the side who by 60th min were looking tired and running out of ideas. That is the reality. But keep at the idea that Girona would have fallen off anyway if needed. Indeed if you can keep...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Aye just a complete fluke that Barca more or less instantly created the better chances and Girona stopped creating them from there on in. Complete fluke. Girona players I would bet were fresher than Barcas after intl break.. but dont let truth get in way of a good story. Barc got better...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    'Not great' is not the same as me claiming you said he was 'great'. Never claimed you said that Wurzel. Do keep up. My assesment of him is 'not great' as in fairly average overall. Team got better and created more when he went off is the reality. Was slow footed to often and the Pedri/Casado...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Pedri was not great today really. He was ok overall but tired badly and team got better when went off. Good goal. He had good moments and sloppy ones and team got better after he and Yamal went off. He lost ball badly in midfield twice they nearly scored from and was doing little to open game...

    Raphinha hasnt been great this season either. Often players gets better when they miss games but Raphinha wasnt great in his games so far.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    He cant play advanced role like some of them. But what he did do today was play there and offer a lot more running than some others do and kept ball more in a team that has been losing the ball far too much when goes up the park. Clearly its a stop gap and would be deeper with Pedri if all fit...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Perfect you think that. Nah Pedri needs him also. Far too often midfield with Pedri and Casado is poor like today and team failing to win with it. Once again team is better once broken up. Pedri needed FDJ to come on vs Oviedo not long ago to win game etc and happened plenty before. Best...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Not talking about you and Casado chief. Calma. Love a Frenkie debate cant lie. As said he played well and got last assist with running like fuck in injury time and picked the pass as many had failed to do. Pedri and Casado were poor as a pair once again deeper. That is the reality. Barca...

    RM are clearly favs. More settled team and more energy/pace.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Indeed found the pass after a good run. Many failed today for Barca to do same thing in similar positions. Imagine bumming up Casado and having hissy fit as angry Frenkie assisted winner. Sensational. Not bad to assist two winners in last four games fort someone so devoid of creativity.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Fake news. Played well and good assist to win it. Far better than man childs like Casado. There is no way Pedri could have done the running in that position today. He could barely do much more than a slow trot not long into game.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Nah played best of the three midfielders and good assist to win game. Top lad and played well in unfamiliar position. Lucklily they subbed off Casado in time to win again.

    Luis Enrique

    Raphinha was frustrated under Xavi and was looking to leave. Pedri another who improved one he left as Flick understood where to play him. Xavi planning was poor for how much money he got to spend.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Garcia was better in midfield by far than Casado today. Wonder if will see the same midfield but Garcia in with Pedri. The Pedri/Casado midfield fails time and again and almost always instant improvement in team when broken up. Frenkie helped a lot today as he tried to keep ball and not be...

    8 - Pedri

    Not a massive fan of xG but for what it is worth. Girona had a better xG than Barca before Pedri went off. After he went off they barely created a chance and Barca created more chances in that 30 mins than previous 60 mins.

    La Liga Round 9: Barca - Girona 2-1

    The offside trap will always be vulnerable when Pedri and Kounde lose the ball like they did in todays game and Kounde has been doing near enough every game. It allows for little chance to pressure and straight on top of a defence not ready for it. Thing that pisses me off is when there is 3/4...

    Is it not worse if they dont mention it as can be reviewed? Sure this has been case in past whereas situations they see and mention are very difficult to then make more of.
