    8 - Pedri

    Can't build your midfield around someone who's that slow and weak. I'm not saying he can't be a great player, but come on, he's unreliable in quite a few aspects of the game and has a special tendency to drop out of the midfield battle when the heat is on.

    I'd sell if it the money buys us a sure thing world class RW.

    6 - Gavi

    Should start on the left wing against Benfica. With Gavi - Depay in place, we have at least one reliable working connection. If we have that, I could live with Demir or Dest on the right as a joker. Coutinho - Depay - Gavi might seem like a more allround sensible choice but I fear we'll end up...

    Sergio Busquets

    This video of Kante encapsulates best what we're missing out on by playing Busquets. This is what you need if you want to play out from the back: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/qyk6sz/kante_puts_ndidi_on_skates/ Picture Busquets in Kante's place there. Outcome would be either: 1) a...

    Xavi Hernández

    So, it's obvious that it's not impossible for us to play good football. In certain periods of the game, we clearly show that we're capable. The problem ahead of us is turning this into consistency, which is mostly a mentality issue. We have certain collective bad habits that we need to rid...

    6 - Gavi

    but wauw, that was a good game by our boy Gavi. a bit annoyed they subbed him as he usually carries a tank more of gas than Nico.

    6 - Gavi

    he's just taking it easy, taking the sensible route of a nice stable ascent rather than a meteoric rise.

    6 - Gavi

    midfielder at Juvenil who can handle the ball + pass and shoot like Eriksen

    6 - Gavi

    He's good but Txus Alba will become the more valuable player at top level. Mark those words.

    Frenkie de Jong

    He's by far the most dependable CM we have. He's our backbone when at his best and when at his worst, still not that bad at all.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    youtube gave me this video of one of his Dortmund games last night and it's pretty incredible how much he has declined. Even if full fit for long term, I don't think he'll ever be as good as he was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PAiBa1U1-Y

    Xavi Hernández

    I hope you're not trying to prove anything about our general performanec over three years by looking at... one game.

    Xavi Hernández

    Your assumption that EV's football got results on account on some pragmatic, boring-but-functional gameplan seems highly questionable. For starters, his system was comically incapable of producing goals when you took individual brilliance out of the picture.

    8 - Pedri

    We have some pretty exciting prospects in the u-19 as well. Would not be surprised to see Txus Alba exceed Gavi, Nico & Pedri.

    Xavi Hernández

    By revising the laws of thermodynamics?

    Sergio Busquets

    It's must also not be ignored that we have big issues with our general circulation of possession and that these problems have to do with Busquets being way too stationary. Keeping the ball circulating when ahead is why City is such a difficult side to play. It's also what we used to do. But it...

    Sergio Busquets

    Hope Xavi gives Frenkie a real try at DM. People seem to have forgotten that it's still his natural position.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    it wouldn't even be 6 months with a full tear. based on the fact that he was able to limp out (something i couldn't when I tore it badly), i'd say between 1 and 2 months too.

    Ilias Akhomach

    I've seen lots of these wingers over the years whose final product just seems to develop later, in their early twenties, provided they have regular playing time. I think there is good hope for him.

    Yusuf Demir

    I say it's worth giving him another chance. We're desperate for some kind of threat on the right side. He's probably not ready anyway but we all know that he's got something whatever that is. Just put him in there, tell him to hold nothing back and see if he can locate that something.
