    Daniel Alves

    Take away the goal and he was still our best player today before the sending off. He simply does what it takes, plays with courage, wants the ball, seizes the openings, stirs up things. Very positive contribution to the mentality. Handles himself fine defensively for now.

    solid performance. needs to avoid those speed duels tho. you can see he fancies his legs and it's fine to put those challenges to defenders but he hasnt't got the speed.

    he plays too advanced to participate in the midfield circulation but he's too risk averse for the actions those advanced spaces call for. either fall into midfield or learn to be more bold.

    Daniel Alves

    Not used to that kind of emotional stimulation. We all know how it goes.

    Adama Traore

    Don't think his ceiling is as high as Dembele but is floor certanly is and his median might be as well.

    Adama Traore

    Dumb decision to take him off. Like how he can get out of trouble in the midfield by sheer force and speed.

    Well, as I explained, everything in my criticism stems from the eye test, but when your opinion is dismissed out of hand, I think it's natural to look for more objective grounds to prove its merit.

    Seriously man? Again? Here are six times I've told you that this is not my logic. Six times mate. Officially my last post in this delightful conversation. Edit: make that seven:

    .... and what logic is that?

    mate we keep going round and round. i've said a fucking hundred times that I have no issue with how Pedri played in the Euros. then you say "Pedri makes more passes in the final third than Iniesta". i was interested because you said "makes", as in present tense. but this, it turns out, is...

    No, not really. I don't know why you keep insisting that it is my opinion that more passes necessarily equals a better passing game. I don't believe that and I find it very hard to believe that I should have said that. Maybe show me where I did or just move on because I feel like the fruit of...

    Mate it's a bit difficult to have any meaningful argument with you when you refuse to give any proof of the stats you pull out. So one more time, you said word for word that Pedri completes more passes than Iniesta in the final third. Nothing about specific Euro finals or pre-Pep eras or...

    See if I can explain a little better. So you wrote this: And I asked for a reference for that statistic. Can you please tell me where it's from?

    1) didn't say that 2) didn't say that 3) didn't say that 4) where can I see that Pedri makes more passes than Iniesta in the final third? if this is not some Euros 2020 stat then I agree that's interesting.

    My line of argument doesn't go from "Pedri plays few passes" to "his passing game is bad." It goes from "Our possession game is slow, static, predictable" to "To me, Pedri looks like the one doing the least to change that" to "the numbers also show that this season, he makes fewer passes than...

    Do you have reading difficulties or something? I'm telling you for the fourth time now that I'm criticizing Pedri's current performance, not his talent or his potential or his past performances. I have no allegiance sworn for or against him. I'm watching a game of football and I see that our...

    Right, I said my piece. If you want to spend the rest of your day searching for cracks or inconsistencies in my argument, be my guest.

    I did not use his number of passes as a basis for criticizing his overall performance, no.

    Right, and when it happens that there is an opponent on the field as well who is marking our players, do you think Xavi just instructs us to stand still and wait for them to move away? You have to move around, sometimes explosively. Sometimes you have to do something else to get the ball...
