    8 - Pedri

    He's still afforded patience and goodwill that other players aren't. What passes are you talking about that were so great that he deserves praise simply for having the vision to see them even though he fucked them up? Are we talking about those simple attempted lobbed through balls or what?

    8 - Pedri

    Imagine if it had been Pedri and not Frenkie that had been involved in our first goal... The collective swooning would have been unbearable.

    8 - Pedri

    God, the arrogance of cliches like this. Should I break out the old "You watch the game, you don't see Busquets. You watch Busquets, you see the whole game," to wave off any criticism of him as well lol?

    8 - Pedri

    I don't agree. Busquets' to Ferran. Alba' assist. Dembele into the head of Luuk. Those are three that were better, more productive, than any of Pedri's tonight.

    8 - Pedri

    There are multiple dribbles that someone like Abde did tonight, that I swear if it had been Pedri, peolpe would had been raging about the "class" of them. But because it was Abde, it was nothing special. Even the dribble and shot he took at the end that fizzed wide.

    8 - Pedri

    You seriously need to wise up and ask yourselves why the evaluation of Pedri's performances always seems to dwell on these abstract attributes like "class" instead of concrete actions. People are swayed by some indefinable quality about how he plays that, while unique and interesting, isn't...

    Frenkie de Jong

    well, he decided to move to Barca.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Because De Jong suffers under his own versatility. No-one is playing Busquets as an interior to give room at DM for Frenkie. Because Frenkie can sort of play as CM, it becomes the most sensible deployment of resources. But things are changing now. We have more reliable CMs available, which...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Imagine we let him go. He plays DM for his new team, naturally reverts to his level at Ajax. Busquets starts declining further over the next year and a half. We start looking around for options. We realize that there's actually someone out there's who was brought up as a DM in possession...

    Frenkie de Jong

    He's not even had half a season yet. Nothing is "beyond plausability." I imagine he sees Busquets as a reassuring anchor point in these relatively chaotic times, which is understandable. Let's wait and see what he figures out once we've settled a bit.

    Frenkie de Jong

    I'm assuming everyone who wants to sell him wants Busquets to stay in the starting line-up for as long as possible?

    Xavi Hernández

    The first question has to be why we completely waste the first 25 minutes of the game standing around waiting for them to score so we can start trying. Then after 10 minutes of the second half, we fall into the same sleep mode. Loads of time and space but it's like we're paralyzed. They score...

    Sergio Busquets

    Low intensity, little press from the opponent, lots of time and space. We won't play many games that suit him as well as this one did and he still embarrassed himself.

    8 - Pedri

    One suave touch and I swear you people swoon like Jane Austen characters. If you examine what he actually did on the field, it's another story. Also gave away a counter unprovoked and misplaced every one of his through balls.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Looked much more tidy and balanced today. Quite impressive stamina as well actually.

    8 - Pedri

    Pedri and Busquets both pointing to the other player while standing still instead of moving into an open position themselves.

    8 - Pedri

    Oozes brilliance. Plays quite badly.

    Mavericky Puig

    Highly doubt Nico. Sort of doubt Gavi as well. Pedri maybe.

    Fabio Blanco

    I'm a bit worried that he's too heavy on his feet but could be exciting.

    Aleix Garrido

    Midfielder, 2004. He's been on the radar of the spotters for some time but just had his B team debut yesterday and looked good + got himself a goal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDBWbzDKDuA I've had a better eye for both of his midfield partners at U-19, Casado and Alba, so impressed that...
