Yeah was a bit worried when I heard because they can be tricky as hell to get rid. On the other hand they are mostly possible to play with if you don't mind extending the rehab long term.

Once again a vague and flimsy presence. Pops up and does something nice, then disappears for 10 minutes. Doesn't really push tempo or threat. Rather waits around for the right situation to appear. Which it often doesn't in football.

His sprint pace is fine but there is something incredibly feeble and droopy about the way he moves.

With Valverde you could say with certainty that our football wasn't doing justice to the amount of talent in the team. With Xavi it's more complicated. I don't really know the true potential of our squad. Lewa is truly the only one who can finish and we don't have a real creator in the squad...

I don't know who were expecting an easy win at Mestalla. We were able to match their intensity (something we wouldn't have been able to just a year ago) and had much better chances (0.19 - 2.33 xg). Some improvements in the attacking play but chemistry and sharpness still pretty poor. He's...

I'm just tired of watching opponents score the simplest of goals against us, just for us to go up the other end and have no idea how to create chances. Look at Bayern's first two goals. Simple utilization of speed and space. We have midfielders who can pass, we have a lightning quick winger...

Yes he is better in tight areas than open spaces. But that has nothing to do with my statement.

He's just very slow twitch muscle fiber dominant. He can cover a lot of distance (aerobic effort) but can't compete with short, intense bursts of strength or acceleration. As football is often won and lost in the first few steps, his physique will always put him at a disadvantage there...

The potential is obvious. Was especially impressed with how he played it out from under pressure. And of course, that speed just gives you so much in general, as a weapon and as safety. Psychologically he seems like he hasn't adjusted to being a starter though. Don't see him stepping into that...

I'm not sold on Ansu, especially in current physical condition but that is the most superficial analysis of goalscoring ability. You could run through Cristiano's career goals and raise similar objections to probably half of them. Can't tell you how many times over the years I've screamed at...

Yeah agree in large parts. An interesting player whose mastery of certain much romanticized aspects of the game sponsors the belief that he masters it as a whole. Now and then you can excuse one for seeing Pedri's slinky moves as the fancy swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Valverde's hit...

in current form I believe no one can touch his top level but you never know with him and those WC nerves.

I'm including Lewa as a winger. I'm talking about Dembele, Raphinha, Fati, Ferran and Depay.

Weird situation with our wingers. Currently there really isn't any of the five contenters that has shown he deserves the spot. By my assessment, there is no reason why Depay shouldn't still be in the mix. I have a tendency to prefer whoever isn't playing.

A thing that I liked from yesterday was switching around the roles in the attacking formation. We used to have the winger out wide, the fullback further back as passing station and the interior in this undefined inside creative position. What we did yesterday, and what I think is a much better...

Yeah like it or not, those runs of his are our sharpest weapon. Especially if Pedri can get into a habit of feeding them.

Very solid. Seemed like everything fell his way.

I keep forgetting we have Bellerin. Hope he gets a chance tonight. Otherwise, not very hyped about Ferran but let's see.
