10 - Lamine Yamal

[Gnidrologist]

They gave him to shoot penalty so he doesn't cry.
Other than that another shit display in big match.

Nobody in this match deserved it more. It was much shittier display by most of his teammates. You're just being dick at him because it has become your habit. Like BBZ repeating the same essay every few years

I just saw the goals in AM vs Tottenham. I didn't know the Winter Olympics is still going.

Was kept in check by Hall. A recurring theme for him in big games this season.

Was kept in check by Hall. A recurring theme for him in big games this season.

I mean, he has 2 CBs (1 turned RB) as attacking support on the right side and 2 other forwards who are totally useless.

This will continue to be a theme the longer 1. Raphinha and Lewa suck dick. 2. he doesn't have a natural RB supporting him.

I know, was only focusing on the one vs ones. Hall was great. And we've seen several left backs pull a number on Jamal this season.

Olise is clear for me this season.

 

[serghei]

He was really poor. Barely got involved in the game, no real good passes, a game to forget.

 

[JamDav1982]

Best of the Barca attacking players which says very little and not a huge compliment.

 

[MonteCuler]

He was not so good when he had the ball

But he got it too little. At one point I just forgot he is on the pitch which is not a good thing. We had very little control and Lewa & Raphinha were losing every single ball that came to them so we didn't do anything in attack

At the end that penalty was very well taken and in such circumstances it was not easy at all. He did well there

His bad performances almost exclusively coincide with team's collective shit performances. It is an interesting pattern. Almost like when he is the only one in attack who shows up and his teammates are mentally absent, and don't even pass their best player the ball.. there is little he can do

 

[Masetro10]

That would still only be half of Messi's numbers lol, insane

Oh yes. Messi will never be topped until the sport changes with new rules or something down the road.

Come on bro stop the dumb stuff. You will live and die by Yamal for like 15 more years so you are best to learn to love the guy

 

[JamDav1982]

When he scores others are being nice to Yamal and 'giving' him the ball out of sympathy.

When he misses then big bad Yamal 'demanded the ball' through ego.

Usual mental gymnastics.

 

[Asylum15]

The reason he was dominated by Hall was purely physical. Hall was stronger and faster than him, it's really that simple. He couldn't take it past him, he couldn't beat him 1v1.

This is not the first time we've seen this happen to Lamine because, frankly, he's not particularly fast and he's got a tiny frame. But this is where he needs IMO to offer something different; just waiting on the wide right so he can pretend to dribble his dominant fullback and then pass back is too static. I'd like to see him go elsewhere and make runs in behind or get involved deeper.

Also, his workrate without the ball was SHIT on many occasions.

 

[MonteCuler]

This narrative that Hall locked him up is fairly expected

We will see in second leg when Yamal actually gets the ball and can take on Hall

 

[Richard.H]

He was absolutely pocketed by Adama Boiro too until that unusual, costly mistake by him to leave him wide open for the goal. Yamal hasn't looked so good these last two matches.

Give Yamal Osimhen
Give Yamal any com

Every bad game he just stands on the wing waiting with 1 or 2 players hounding. Even worse we cannot hold the ball against any good teams. They press high or in the middle and we turn into Stoke City
