    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He actually looks quicker and more agile than I thought he would be. There was a point where looked sort of tall and lanky compared the kids around him and you imagined he would become more of a slow yet technical creator type. But now he looks poised to go past anyone. Not a sprinter but...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    injuries scrambled his mind/body connection. instincts off kilter. dead proprioception. guy simply looks awkward, unnatural out there. no balance, no poise, a sort of force that only works at certain angles. cash in.

    La Liga Round 3: Villarreal - Barca 3-4

    It really is impressive how little chemistry we have between our midfielders. Four of them in there and no-one wants to cook.

    8 - Pedri

    Something tells me his place isn't at a top club. Kid looks like he is straining every fiber of his body to keep up with the movement of the game sometimes. Seems like the level is demanding too much of his body. You see other players sprint like they want it, head high, effortless strides. He...

    8 - Pedri

    If I were to attribute it injury to anything, it would be improper pre-season strengthening. Not having worked up to full sprinting comfortably in training for example and then suddenly having to push the muscle in a match. He certainly looked like was taking it very relaxed in those pre-season...

    Muscles normally don't carry long term gradual damage like that. If it was an overworked knee or something, maybe.

    If it's a slight tear you might not notice while the muscle is warm. Sting shows up in the next training, then medical scans, then official announcement.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Cadiz 2-0

    Pedri hasn't done a single thing except that pass that almost reached Kounde. Plus he missed a free header.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Cadiz 2-0

    Pedri and Gavi leave a creative void down the center. The former does too little, the latter does the wrong things.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Cadiz 2-0

    2 games in, 2 clear penalty snubs

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Wasn't overhyped imo. My guess is he'd be our star player right now if it weren't for the injuries. Sad story but we should really sell if we can get decent cash for him.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Wouldn't start him yet. Starting is a very different thing from coming on late in the game. These 65-min just-do-your-thing subs is a good way to build familiarity and confidence without too much pressure.

    11 - Raphinha

    Don't see this being a regular thing. That was some of the most frustrating shit I've ever witnessed, being rugby tackled everytime you make a run and the referee doing absolutely nothing about it. Plus tempers are always volatile in the first game.

    8 - Pedri

    There were moments of genius but the worrying thing is that his entire game could be boiled down to those two or three individual moments. Probably should have kept him on though.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Looks like he's lost sense of his limits. Doesn't look finished physically, just looks like he's overestimating his ability. Should try and dial his game back towards the basics, then build up from that again.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    There is still something slightly awkward and unnatural about his movement. Becomes visible when he has to turn his momentum quickly or go full out sprint. Can't decide who to prefer between him and Abde.

    Noah Darvich

    Like the look of this guy

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    Got a fucking shot on him. That one from out far... beautiful hit.

    Oriol Romeu

    Made a few mistakes but never looked out of his depth. Just a moment too slow to release or a bit too curagous at times. Looked pretty comfortable in general.

    8 - Pedri

    He has the skill to play in the final third but none of the temperament. He has to be put in a role where he doesn't have to invent runs or seize spaces with high risk, because he just hasn't got the appetite for those situations. And so when the pressure is on, he sort of just fades out of the...
