    CL Round 5: Barca - Brest 3-0

    If they sit deep, I can see Olmo on the wing. If we have to battle to move up the pitch, then he's useless there, as we saw vs. Celta. Need someone with legs who can stretch the pitch and run deep. Would rather see Pau but Fermin will have to do.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Caught an hour of the game at work. Noone really stood out from what I saw, though I liked Dani Avila the number 6 and Juan Hernandez the LW. Don't really see it with Quim.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Looked ok for his first start in a while. A few nice passes. Didn't really notice any problems defensively. The criticism seems way out of proportion to me.

    6 - Gavi

    Looks a bit raw and positioning def needs some work. Don't see him starting just yet.

    Álex Valle

    For me there are still some question marks surrounding Balde long term. The position is Balde's to lose, but if Valle fancies his chances he could probably make a challenge for it.

    17 - Marc Casadó

    His creative contribution is really great, but the most valuable part of his work is still in the minor things he does continuously to tie things together. Tireless running yes, but tireless focus as well, which adds up to a lot over the course of 90 minutes. Can see it rubbing off on others...

    Pedro Fernández 'Dro'

    16 and looks like he slots in comfortably for the b team

    Pedro Fernández 'Dro'

    Pedro Rodriguez as in Pedro Rodriguez. Looks more like a classic controlling 8 than a strict DM tho.

    Pedro Fernández 'Dro'

    Pedro Rodriguez looks like the real deal to me. Can't tell with those other Pedros.

    Iñaki Peña (loaned to Elche)

    Just rewatched the second half of the clasico and Pena lowkey initiated two of the goals from his long passes.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    It checks with what you can see on the pitch and what I've been saying since the injury. There's something not quite right about the way he moves. Doesn't take more than a slight inhibition to throw you off your game. The margins are tight in this game. The difference between a great player and...

    Flick's offside trap

    My skepticism is that it works largely by stupefing the opponent with opportunities they aren't used to and where they are just enough out of sync to critically mistime the execution. And that there is also a psychological effect working in our favor, a compounding frustration among the...

    La Liga Round 12: Barca - Espanyol 3-1

    Seconded. If we're comfortably up by the hour mark, games are also much less costly to those on the pitch. Intensity drops when the opponent loses hope. Don't have to risk those late game sprints or anything that looks like a risky challenge. A welcome chance from Xavi's conservative tactics...

    How do I watch this thing?

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Took him a while to get into the game. First time I've seen him look affected by the occasion. But then got in the zone and left his mark, as he always does. Youngest player to score in El Clasico, with great style. Congrats youngon!

    Iñaki Peña (loaned to Elche)

    Downvote. Respect a great performance without this need for derision.

    8 - Pedri

    Really liked his grit in the first act. How eager he was to recive the ball and take it forwards. Steadily running out of things to criticize here.

    Quim Junyent

    Don't really see the big talent with Quim. I like the quick feet but there's something a bit too imprecise and vague about his touches and movement with the ball. If I were to pick a midfield talent from the videos it would be Adam Argemi from Cadet A.

    Guille Fernández

    Might have overrated this kid. In every one of those b team match videos he looks completely average. Something happen to him?

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Think he'll be good under Flick. His ball carries and ability to trigger transitions might lead to more.
