    Pep Guardiola

    At some point, he should have done a better job in at least trying to incorporate more academy kids over the years there. City has lost a decent amount of good youth players in the last few years that are now regulars for PL teams and in other leagues in Europe that would be far more useful now...

    Remember there was a time people thought he had more talent and abilities than Pedri. Let that sink in.

    Gave up being a Midfielder long ago and became Scrappy doo. All passion but nothing else. Terrible positioning and lackluster on the ball.

    Premier League 24/25

    For all the talk of City having a world-class academy Pep doesn't utilize it enough. A lot of down tools currently in that City team.

    La Liga Round 18: Barca - Leganes 0-1

    Cubarsi needed a break and Araujo just came back from his long-term injury. Eric happens to be the only other 100% fit and ready CB.

    8 - Pedri

    Koeman knew he was someone that needed a consistent workload. I also get Xavi's point of view that maybe his minutes needed to be handled differently because he was still a young guy adjusting to top level football. But it turns out it seems like Flick/Koeman ended up being correct at least so...

    8 - Pedri

    Awhile back I posted a rumor of them doing tests on Pedri and learned that one of the reasons he was prone to getting injured was ironically him getting rested to much in a short amount of time. I remember Mascherano at the end of his time with us talked about how he kept getting small muscle...

    He and Inigo will benefit a lot when Araujo comes back to full fitness. Feels like both are being run ragged right now due to lack of options and both will also benefit from being paired with an Athletic CB.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    It's funny as a 9 his movement and positioning is his strongest suit but his first touch and finishing is abysmal. He gets into a good position but his first touch let's him down and when he somehow doesn't fuck that up his finishing stinks. It ranges from too causal or him panicking. He never...

    6 - Gavi

    He was better with the ball when he came through but now it seems like he's abandoned pretty much everything else and is trying to become a Hardman passion merchant. I admire his passion but that's all he has going for him right now sadly. Just tactically inept and not really special on the...

    8 - Pedri

    Barcelona are very satisfied with the effectiveness of the specific physical plan that was made for Pedri. It is a strength plan supervised by Julio Tous. Those responsible for physical fitness concluded that he did not benefit from excessive resting but quite the opposite and resting for two...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I've seen PSG fans say they are tired of him. The guy has no idea how good he had it here honestly. The dude played every game he was fit and you had coaches including Xavi that bent the knee to protect him only to spit in his face and decide to leave. Just angers me really we spent a lot of...

    Kylian Muppet

    He's peaked especially mentally. Doesn't look like he has the drive or hunger anymore like he did. It seems all those years at PSG of him making absurd amount of money and being catered to every whim made him basically made him soft. Now he expects everyone around him to do the work for him.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Real are insanely disjointed in all aspects. They should be lucky it's not more than two right now they are down.

    FC Barcelona and Gerard Martín have reached an agreement to extend his contract until 2028. The official announcement is expected soon. [h/t @ferrancorreas ]

    6 - Gavi

    He's kinda in no mans land in terms of where does he fit in Flicks system. He's not a DLP like Pedri is and certainly not tactically disciplined like Casado is either and as a #10 you would bet on the likes of Fermin, Olmo or even Raph for creativity and goals. If he was more tactically astute...

    8 - Pedri

    The square as I like to call it [Cubarsi-Inigo/Casado-Pedri] clearly works better when Pedri is down deep. I can see the idea of pushing Pedri up the pitch in the hole behind the front line but we lose a lot when he's pushed further up as he's just not that free flowing #10 kinda player. His...

    Premier League 24/25

    Never understood why you spend all that money on Gvardiol and using him as a left-back when he clearly has far more potential at CB.
