That play where Ignored lamine yamal's run just to have 4 or 5 useless touches into no man's land... it's those little details that make this club miss the mark. Raphinha on the other side of the pitch taking 2 hours to turn and give it to a wide open cancelo and then produces a terrible pass...

He came out on the pitch trying to prove, that all of sudden, he could play from the back. Made a couple of decent long balls and then that terrible pass that caused the play that led to expulsion. I don't know to what extent the merit is on Lucho by preventing Cubarsi from being the creator...

Boy that no. 10 looks good under his name. Legendary shirt.

His only downside really is his speed. Were he a tiny bit faster he would be a different kind of monster. His creativity makes up for that nicely though.

Best ball playing CB we've had since Marquez. His weight of pass is exquisite. Pass selection is impeccable. He's a real Kaiser at the back. Future captain perhaps? Rare talent indeed.

Sell a potential generational talent for 200 million? What is this that I'm hearing? Would you have sold Xavi, Iniesta or Messi? What happened to cherishing our homegrown talents. This kid is one of our own, that is priceless. You don't sell these type of players. We'd be putting a price on...

He has instances every game he plays where he showcases exceptional technique. How does someone's technique turn on and off like that, does he have concentration issues?

The perfect example that football is ultimately played with your brain. This player is greatly gifted and talented, and yet his lack of success can only be explained by the fact that he's just not very bright. So intermittent and unreliable.

Such a shame he has to play alongside the always off-beat kounde, imagine if he had a proper RB to combine with.

He's a great squad player. Well intentioned, plays with a lot heart, unselfish and hardworking. He's just too average of a footballer to start at Barcelona.

This. He's always hustling to win the ball back and often times does (he has a sneaky way of doing it.) Another reflection of his intelligence and will.

Traitor

Balde could never complete the cross for the 3rd goal, simple as it was.

That little roulette he did towards the end of the game. It wasn't just a fancy move or unnecessary flair, it was actually a smart decision to move into space. I love players that can combine the beautiful with the functional.

Moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy. Smooth operator.

Absolutely ridiculous to sell Pedri. Like the people that wanted De Jong out a couple of seasons ago. As though quality midfielders grow on trees in xavi's backyard. Wait till he regains form and stars to shine again.

In the midst of all the doom and gloom, Lamine is the light the pierces through the clouds. What a talent. And he has the right attitude which is of utmost importance for his progress! Very humble. I don't think he realizes how good he is. That's a good thing

This kid is special when he's on the ball. Composed, head up high, almost like he's taking panoramic snapshot of everything in front of him, takes his time gathering information and then pings a perfectly weighted ball in between the lines. Vision and class. Having a player like this in the...

Kounde shitty decision making again, as i mentioned in his player thread. Why give it to roberto there when he is totally surrounded? He did the same thing in the second half. He shouldn't be anywhere near the RB position.

This guy is annoyingly stupid. Bad decision making, wrong passes at the wrong time, tries to take on the whole team as though he is a forward. He's been the worst on the pitch for me.
