    Very promising kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsiEPiau8FE

    8 - Pedri

    I mean the way in which his decision making is passive, reactive. He gets the ball and picks the best option out of what is possible for him to do. He doesn't do much to change what is possible. He's sort of submissive to the flow of the game in that way. If we face an opponent that is well...

    8 - Pedri

    I agree that Pedri should be seen as a great talent, but as an option for the starting eleven he should be recognized as a player with significant deficiencies, mainly his inability to assert himself, the way he plays around the game instead of shaping in.

    8 - Pedri

    How do the people claiming he's a top midfielder in Europe reconcile the two notions that 1) our midfield consists of two of the best midfielders in Europe (Frenkie and Pedri) + Busquets who also played for Spain NT, which in Pedri's case is an unquestionable stamp of a world class player for...

    8 - Pedri

    i think being integrated too fast in the starting eleven obscured this switch of mentality that young player has to go through, from being responsible of his own actions to being resposible for the team winning the game.

    8 - Pedri

    but as i said, i have faith that he will learn to take on more responsibility cuz there were too many occasions last year of Frenkie being the one to dare make the real difference while Pedri passed it sideways and jogged around looking tired.

    8 - Pedri

    I have faith in him but it should be obvious that he's a bit overrated at the moment. There were many games this last season in which our midfield looked meagre and it seemed like it hasn't dawned for some people on here that Pedri was part of the midfield. So what those people would probably...

    soporific affairs everytime i've seen this kid play. he scored that one goal, great. but he needs to get those drowsy legs moving in a serious hustle if he wants to earn that pay.

    I don't know if we'll have an easier time winning La Liga with him. But if we're going to win the CL, we need some of what he represents, be it Riqui or someone else. Look at how Chelsea won it.

    Mavericky Puig

    Overall, I think people's opinions reveal some of their own disposition. I like Puig because he ups the ante of the game. Him being on means higher risk, higher reward in our game. I like that because I think as a club, and as a team, we need some of that. We have needed that for a while. I...

    Mavericky Puig

    yes i just don't think the word of spanish nt youth coaches from years ago is that highly relevant. i'm more into watching him play and making up my own mind.

    jesus christ, read my comment mr. vegitotive state. i just said that i understand that.

    Mavericky Puig

    you're saying that all midfielders who are in La Masia go on to play for the b team? i get that Spain is a higher threshold, you don't have to explain that to me. but using the judgement of a youth coach from several years ago to judge a player's quality today is dumb, you must understand that.

    Mavericky Puig

    ah so youth international coaches didn't like him. but still played him sometimes. but then of course he was bad in those games? if we bring youth coaches into it, what about La Masia coaches? What about Pimienta? What about Xavi liking him? What about Gattuso calling him 'spectacular'? Coaches...

    This is true. Something that has to be considered, too, is playing for Barca these days means playing very slow, cautious football. I would like to see him in a team that is attuned to his temperament and moves accordingly.

    Mavericky Puig

    International coaches? Are we going to default our judgement to the opinions of people who don't watch him play anymore than we do? That's ridiculous. A coach's opinion has wheight because they see him in training everyday. International coachs base their picks much more on what they've seen on...

    Mavericky Puig

    Note that I'm still not saying I believe that Puig is good enough to be a Barca player. But this 'headless chicken' regurgitating is getting a bit old. He's more erratic, yes, but if we're at that level of hyperbole, then Pedri's weaknesses, being timid, conservative, slow, toothless, could be...

    Mavericky Puig

    I might be inclined to agree if there's was more of a pattern than what you're hinting at. Valverde was conservative with him as he was with any other prospect. Setien really liked him. Koeman doesn't like him. That's really one coach. So what? Mourinho discarded KDB. How much does that tell...

    Mavericky Puig

    what is, by the way, the point of this sort arguing. simply declaring: 'he's bad. he wouldn't start for any team'. then I say. 'no he's actually good. he would start for any team'. it's not very stimulating to my intellectual libido
