    2023 Preseason

    Damn, we still have Kessie? Thought he was off months ago.

    Vitor Roque

    There certainly is something dubious about the hype. He's scored a few goals this year but most of those match performance videos look like fail compilations. Hoping to be proved wrong but so far I can't see anything that indicates top Europe let alone Barca-level talent.

    Vitor Roque

    yeah sorry the first bit was sarcastic and then I meant to write "nothing that would count as as a "good" play

    Vitor Roque

    Another cracking performance. Some nice aggresssion. A lot of clumsy and failed actions. Nothing really that would can't as a "good" play.

    Vitor Roque

    He looks way more like Gabigol who was more hyped than Jesus around that time and flopped at Inter

    Vitor Roque

    In most of these there is nothing that excites me. He seems strong and aggressive in the box but that's about it. I get that he's young and needing of refinement but there still needs to be something to work with.

    Vitor Roque

    He's redolent of Suarez in that he seems to get goals without his overall play seeming very productive and often amateurish. But Suarez was also afforded a frankly extraordinary degree of patience and tolerance when he fucked up. He had those priveleges because we knew his top level was immense...

    Arda Güler

    He looks really fucking good to me for an 18 y/o. The kind of aggressive technical quick witted play we lack.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Thought a while about this: has he ever had a decisive individual creative action in a big game for us? He scored that against Chelsea I remember but that was just a good finish. Has he ever changed a big game on his own for us?

    Similar vibe I'm getting

    Vitor Roque

    Looks kinda amateurish in several sequences of the Sao Paolo video. To me he looks too slow and imprecise in his play for European football. Would love to have me mind changed but I don't understand this signing.

    Xavi Hernández

    I think we match the level of our players sort of. We don't have a single player who can do something individually great on a reliable basis and so naturally some games of the season are going to end up like this. What do you expect from these players honestly? We have some interesting talent...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Played well. Love how everything he does manifests responsibility. Should NOT take set pieces though, these slow ass chipped crosses.

    Xavi Hernández

    We're desperate for a playmaker. We have no-one to reliably translate momentum and promising situation into chances. Pedri when he's back will take some responsiblity but he doesn't like to break the point of no return in attack. We need someone ready to pounce when the space is there.

    Franck Kessie

    One of his first actions was losing the ball because of his languid ball handling, then failing to commit the foul on Berenguer who was through and almost scored. Big liability and adds almost nothing.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Looks kaput. I don't blame him for the block but what the fuck is he doing on in a game like that when he can't run?

    11 - Raphinha

    I could swear Alexis went an entire season for us without beating his man. Dude wasn't getting past anyone.
  18. BusiTheKing

    11 - Raphinha

    He's much better when the game is flying and he has to play on instinct. Struggles in slower games because overthinking takes away his edge. Up to Xavi to figure out how to solve this riddle.
  19. BusiTheKing

    17 - Marc Casadó

    He looks very tidy in his distribution. Could probably be used to relieve Busquets/Frenkie in easier games if needed. Long term hard to say if he's got the stuff.

    11 - Raphinha

    Looks fazed a lot of the time. I think Xavi might be in his head too much. Either way he's not really performing.
