10 - Lamine Yamal

[Masetro10]

He plays too wide. He needs to be a little more inverted so he can threaten to go out wide or cut and shoot.

This game he was so wide that if he didn't go right it was super easy to get 3 guys on him if he went left.

I get they want him to be the creator and it was a 5-5-0 block but just something I noticed

Even Messi rested in these early Copa games, his playing time is absurd. It's obvious that Flick is afraid of a 18 year old kid and can't bench him even for these kind of games.

Maybe it's other way around. He's overall form has been bad despite stats so he is't someone to "save" for bigger matches. Needs to work hard to regain momentum, including late nights on potato fields.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Against Osasuna multiple times he used both arms to point for the ball from creampie and ferret and they ignored or didn't see him.

You are correct but in his defense he had to play to make some posts after on Instagram.

He is worrying this season in most aspects. Far from his level from the end of last season.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Not worrying at all. Would be seen as standard development of a young sportsball dude in more based times. The previous season was abnormal and our dependence of this young dude should not be seen as a good thing. Not even Messidependencia was a good thing, let alone being a world superclub hoping to be bailed by a teen with braces, who just got the permission to have his drivers licence.

He is worrying this season in most aspects. Far from his level from the end of last season.

He lost a burst of acceleration due to pubalgia that he will eventually regain, hopefully later this season.

Statistically, he is still the best player in Europe right now when you factor in duels won, dribbles, key passes, etc. Finishing will improve eventually by 21 or so, as it did with Messi.
