    João Félix

    Looked good not fantastic with the ball but what a change to have an attacker who actually, persistently, attacks.

    He was definitely great yesterday.

    La Liga Round 5: Barca - Real Betis 5-0

    Best football we've played in ages and it happens when 1) we give wingers freedom to go inside and 2) 4-3-3

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He has that intuitive ability to maneuvre through situations without planning the moves ahead, inventing it as he goes along. A trait he shares with a select few.

    I used to have loads of injuries so I started researching into root causes and got interested in stuff like that

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Being strong in football is much less about muscle mass than people realize. It's about being able to access your muscles at specific angles and in specific combinations intuitively. It's about proprioception and fascial tension. Look how Messi here: https://streamable.com/pvly6v How he...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Obviously it's harder to sustain a level as a starter than making an impact to prove yourself. He did well and got the fans hyped. Now comes the anxiety of losing that goodwill. The fear of making mistakes. It's only a natural step on the way. If we suddenly stop playing him after the first...

    Frenkie de Jong

    He's literally the only one that's consistently not just passing it to the next man. The only one taking it on his shoulders to make something happen.

    Xavi Hernández

    No criss-crossing runs, no dribbles, no nonsense. Just a predictable pass out for a cross. Lacks ambition.

    Xavi Hernández

    Have you noticed that whenever we are going forward with momentum for a counter attack, we always end up channelling it out to the wing for a conventional cross. There's this conservative mentality of taking the simple, "sensible" option instead of going for the bold, the cheeky, the...

    İlkay Gündoğan

    He looks discouraged tho. Wouldn't have let Avila slide like that if he was playing for City. Play him in a normal midfield ffs.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Gundogan's effort at their goal takes me back to the good old Rakitic/Iniesta midfield

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    All Yamal's highlight actions for the youth teams come from inside positions. I think naturally he likes to go inside. Not saying it's Xavi's orders--more likely it's nervousness/modesty keeping him from commanding the center stage.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Don't see the point of Yamal being glued to the touchline when we're up in the final third. Should be seeking inwards trying to get in dangerous situations.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He actually looks quicker and more agile than I thought he would be. There was a point where looked sort of tall and lanky compared the kids around him and you imagined he would become more of a slow yet technical creator type. But now he looks poised to go past anyone. Not a sprinter but...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    injuries scrambled his mind/body connection. instincts off kilter. dead proprioception. guy simply looks awkward, unnatural out there. no balance, no poise, a sort of force that only works at certain angles. cash in.

    La Liga Round 3: Villarreal - Barca 3-4

    It really is impressive how little chemistry we have between our midfielders. Four of them in there and no-one wants to cook.

    8 - Pedri

    Something tells me his place isn't at a top club. Kid looks like he is straining every fiber of his body to keep up with the movement of the game sometimes. Seems like the level is demanding too much of his body. You see other players sprint like they want it, head high, effortless strides. He...

    8 - Pedri

    If I were to attribute it injury to anything, it would be improper pre-season strengthening. Not having worked up to full sprinting comfortably in training for example and then suddenly having to push the muscle in a match. He certainly looked like was taking it very relaxed in those pre-season...
