18 - Gerard Maldini

Usual numpties who are waiting for Flick to fail make out he 'never changes his tactics' or looks to adress issues.

Players like this and the constant different tacical approaches prove them clueless as ever.

You see.. Flick doing well doesnt look good on the previous.

Araujo's depression went from stage II to III.

Very good game. Even that risky tackle, he almost made full contact with the ball.

One of the things people miss is playing with much better players will raise your level, even if you are a second division player originally.

Your team will help you a lot, as an example, the quality of passing is better, the instructions are better, the players in front of you are better, and it is easy to fit in as long as you are not throwing or making major mistakes.

To play in Barcelona will raise the level of any Segunda player very very quickly. Martin has probably learnt enormous amounts from his teammates and the coaching staff.

We see this example with the likes of Mingueza, or Araujo, who were not overly impressive for the B team. But playing for a top team can shield your weaknesses especially if you are playing in the LaLiga games where the team will have most of the ball and you won't face many attacks.

This is true as well, those minutes he played last season seem well worth it now because we have a developed player who is not out of place in this kind of games. Flick knew what he was doing subbing him on every game

He's serviceable imo. A serious exam for him and he passed. But at Barcelona it's one exam after another.

 

[JamDav1982]

Some of his clearances and headers out could go any fucking where but brought a lot on top of that particularly with ball.

Gerard Maldini, we will call him that now.

Plz @Barcaman change the name of the topic.

Why does this pic look like a Maldini who is about to take a dump?

 

[jamrock]

Not getting into the hype, because we all know how it will end, we saw a glimpse today.

But good game.

But what if! He actually became a good CB, it would be insane 😂

 

[serghei]

Serviceable is good enough. Low wage, academy player... even if doesn't amount to more than that, still useful.
