    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    eh... why are there multiple people on here suggesting that we start a 17-year old pivot who in his first semi-competitive game nearly cost two goals by individual mistakes?

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The one thing I want to see this year is some actual chemistry between our core players. Yamal, Pedri, Frenkie, Gundo, Lewy, maybe Raphinha but he's not that type of quality. Seen sparks here and there but don't think we've had the real thing for quite some years.

    Vitor Roque

    If we truly rejected 25m from Everton and end up not getting another offer then that is one of the dumbest decisions in club history.

    I think he's got talent but wouldn't count on him. No matter how talented you are, there's a minimum of physical qualifications you need in order to play modern top football. Not just strength or pace, but lightness, dynamism, overall athleticism. A player like Pedri is currently cutting it...

    Got nothing against the guy for making a mistake as a 17-year old but that was 100% his fault. As a pivot you are going to be receiving those kinds of passes under pressure from attackers. Ideally you are aware of the pressure around you and react accordingly. And if you don't feel aware (as...

    Casado is fine, nothing special, but might be ok because of work rate

    bernal is far from ready. walks too much, hides from the ball, is a snoozefest in possession and has already cost a huge change by losing it beacuse too nonchalant

    but this is what you get with classic (non-inverted) wingers. just switch pau and raph and let them attack

    Flick summarizes the tour

    It worries me a bit Flick talking about needing more courage in the pressing. To me it looked like we were already a bit too brave, overextending ourselves and leaving big holes through the chains. Would like to see some more coordination instead before we up the intensity further. Of the...

    True, biggest disappointment for me. Think he's actually been poor since joining the b-team, perhaps should have waited a year.

    Mikayil Faye

    He's not a natural LB is he? Was out there committing cardinal sins of defensive passing, putting a high ball into our own area.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    Thought he was ok, nothing that warrants a place in the a squad. One or two good passes otherwise just normal distribution at best. Way too much walking. Got cooked too easily a few times. Botched a good chance. We have a habit of projecting genius onto players of his type. Let's be a bit...

    Roque appears seriously limited with the ball, like amateur level. Literally just puts it towards goal and runs after it until he loses it.

    Casado much better this half.

    Quim Junyent seems interestering but physically he's clearly a few important steps from this level. Don't understand why Flick prioritizes him so.

    Leao will do that to most full backs without a back-up. We can't isolate our load bearing defenders like that.

    begging Pau Victor and Raphinha to switch wings

    They seem pretty keyed up to me. Nothing wrong with the intensity.
