    8 - Pedri

    People who say he reminds them of Iniesta, surely they mean post-2016-Iniesta? The conservative, reliable passer, 'couple of nice moves a game but not much else' version of Iniesta Or else they must not remember very well how aggressive, bold, assertive and purposeful a player he was when he...

    Ilaix Moriba

    Not really concerned with his speed, more about the alertness and quickness of his feet when in possession. He looked a bit ponderous with the ball. If he has Yaya / Busi level ball control and spatial intelligence then it's not an issue but very very few have that.

    8 - Pedri

    Re the Griezmann assist. He did the right thing but it's not like it was anything above what should be expected of any midfielder. I think it was a situation where you'd be annoyed if he hadn't made the pass. Had good space, good time, and the pass was very simple, not a through ball or...

    Would rather see Nico get a chance tbh

    8 - Pedri

    Still not completely convinced. Does some nice things once in a while but when he doesn't his presence on that midfield is meagre to say the least.

    Clément Lenglet

    Maybe we still got Vermaelen. Wouldn't be surprised. Can someone check if he's stored somewhere in the back?

    Sergio Busquets

    I'd take Jandro over him. Solid passer, good defensively, reliable on the ball and can run for 90 mins.

    8 - Pedri

    Because he had a few misplaced passes and bad touches? So did the entire Paris team. They still rolled us over.

    Sergio Busquets

    I'm not saying that the philosophy of Barca can't work. I'm saying that any philosophy of a team, be it tiki-taka or anything else, is something you can think about AFTER you've got those basic building blocks in place. Disciplin, physicality to match top level opponents, belief, spirit...

    8 - Pedri

    Age has nothing to do with it. It wasn't nerves that made him useless today. He wasn't a better or worse player than in any of those La Liga games where he looked impressive. The difference was the opponent. At that tempo at that level, he's not going to make a difference in a million years.

    Sergio Busquets

    Big part of our problem. In moments of the game, I tried to imagine that the whites was our team in order to notice how they moved compared to us. Just immense differences in physicality, disciplin, alacrity, spirit and belief. The basic building blocks of a team, which we haven't paid...

    8 - Pedri

    It's another great chapter in Barca brand arrogance thinking that a player like Pedri will ever be top level material. There are loads of examples of players with his talent and style that never touched the top teams of Europe and for a good reason. He'll continue to do some nice things in...

    Ilaix Moriba

    I mean... he's gotta show something more than that if he wants to get promoted.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Pretty sure it would have been a slaughter without him patching up defensive holes for 90 mins.

    Antoine Griezmann

    He's only ever been good for us in the center. When him and Messi switch back and forth between 9 and 10. On the wing he's been useless literally every game he's played.

    8 - Pedri

    Griezman in the 10 role interchanging with Messi up front. When Messi goes deep, Griezmann goes up front. Trincao on the right, Dembele on the left.

    Antoine Griezmann

    It just doesn't work. Often when we get a break and are able to go forward, we set out in a formation with zero attackers. It's so easy for the opponent to crowd us in the midfield because we don't push them back and we don't stretch them out. We're somehow the only team in the world that...

    Let's hope he isn't played at LW for one minute more.
