    8 - Pedri

    Very very good tonight. Big switch of temperament in my eyes. Much more aggressive and eager to get on the ball. Perfect game.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    How was Aleix Garrido?

    Frenkie de Jong

    Something basic like having multiple open blaugrana shirts at all times, which was the standard under Pep, that just didn't happen under the last three coaches, even Lucho. For years the vibe i've had about our mentality is that we've been doing things to avoid negatives, we move to avoid...

    Frenkie de Jong

    On the money. Our movement against Napoli was miles beyond anything we've seen under Valverde, Setien or Koeman. The attitude is fundamentally different. For the first time in ages, we actually seem excited and eager to push on instead of tentative and anxious. This feeling I've had since 2016...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    why would you assume I was talking about the version of Ronaldo that least resembles Ferran's profile tho? in his prime, Ronaldo was all about positioning, agitation and finishing. well-timed movement from the wing into the area occupied by central defenders, combinations more than dribbles...

    8 - Pedri

    Didn't see the game today. He had some really nice bits here and there against Napoli but still couldn't get past his lack of eagerness to attack the spaces in front of him. You can cover half a marathon in 90 minutes but if you don't get above a certain level of haste in your runs, you're...

    not saying the level is the same, just the profile

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Cristiano made it work pretty well with this sort of skill set. Definitely potential.

    Txus Alba

    pretty sure Barjuan picks his own squad. either way just defaulting to the coaches opinion makes for pretty dull conversation about prospects. loads stand out like comets youth level and look mediocre when they grow up. it's about looking at what makes a player good and thinking about how and...

    Txus Alba

    that's what i qualified my post with so yes I agree it's not a good sign but i'd be reluctant in any case to wager my opinion on the competence of barjuan

    Txus Alba

    Pretty excited about him despite him still not being picked up by the b-team. Everytime I watch U19 highlights, he's making superb final passes. Has 14 assists in 25 games, plus 7 goals. That playstation vision is something that carries over no matter what level you play at, so the question...

    6 - Gavi

    Very impressed with how quickly he's adapted to the physical game. I remember how in his first couple of first team games, he looked prone to fall over all the time. Not weak, just shaky at distributing his wheight in the physical duels. Now he's mugging off defenders left and right.

    Adama Traore

    He does all the basics quite well. Gets away with the ball in a lot of 50/50 battles where Dembele would surely have lost it.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    I think he looks capable, just not completely in tune.

    8 - Pedri

    what i been saying from the start is with this type of player, the line between iniesta and gourcuff can appear thin. it's these types of games that draw up that line. i'm not writing him off by any means but as it stands he's at the wrong side of it.

    8 - Pedri

    Well, we scored four goals and Pedri wasn't involved in any of them, so this feels very much like contorting the frame of the picture to include him. These three had one or two nice bits of play but I honestly don't recall a single chance that came out Pedri's combinations. Best thing I...

    Adama Traore

    It'll be nice having someone in training sessions who give our defenders a bit of practice in dealing with speed and power. They sometimes look like they've never seen an attacker sprint before. Good to have a reference point like that.

    6 - Gavi

    he's pretty quick on the first few steps but has no top speed. likely has to do with his weird running style too, looks a bit stumbly/scuffly like it's all quads and no glutes/hamstrings.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    Could have done better on the first goal imo. Sees Pique away from position but doesn't move over to cover the center.
