10 - Lamine Yamal

[Iniesta Ultra]

Since Yamal's debut couple years ago we've won 72.5% Liga matches with him, only 44.4% without and being 0% just last season.

Was never this bad without Messi but we had other elite players. Sad state we're in, self inflicted too.

the 0% stat looks more alarming than it is. He basically played in almost every game.

It kinda does, since our poor run in the league where we gave away the league happened while he was out.

Why flick wanted a top class winger this summer

[Mundo Deportivo] Lamine Yamal's mural in Barcelona was vandalized! Someone added seven Snow White dwarfs to the mural, suggesting that there were dwarves at Lamine Yamal's birthday party.

It 100% doesn't simply cause sample size is way too small to draw those conclusions.
Our poor run also included 2 losses where he played(against Leganes he was taken off minute 75)
In the games where he was completely absent we lost 2 games and drew 1. The Celta game where we gave away 2 goal lead in minute 84 after one of our players caught an unnecessary red.

He also missed 1 game in CL and 1 in Copa del Rey which we both one. Tbf Copa was against very poor competition. But one of games we lost was against atletico where we gave away 1 goal lead which is a stronger side.

If the argument is he is an important player for us? Yes. No one will dispute that. But way too early to draw parallels to messipendencenia. This team looks more balanced.

 

[El Ilusionista]

He seems bigger, stronger and quicker. He will definitely improve his finishing this season as we already seen he improved his shooting technique towards the end of last season. Its gonna be scary but not for us.

 

[Gnidrologist]

It is rare to see a player dribble past his man, basically whenever he wanted to, like Lamine did today. Even against such poor opposition.

The worry is not how great he is going to be.

The worry is how reliant we are becoming on him.

Laminedepencia is already here somewhat and, whilst it will always be there due to his greatness, we must do our best to minimise it so we aren't as dependent on him as we were with Leo.

We're just junkies for GOATs.
