20 - Dani Olmo

It’s worrying how he’s mimicking Coutinho.

There was a time when Coutinho looked amazing for Liverpool and Brazil much like almost did for RB and Spain.

Both had a decent start at Barca but then fizzled out after a few months and barely looked like footballers.

Pray to god this lanky mofo comes good. Barca can’t sell players so any loss on this guy becoming the next Coutinho would be huge.

Amazing how many similar flops we keep buying

Horrible take 👎👎 Felix has won us the matches vs Atletico + was more dangerous than all the mentioned flops together, not keeping him was a big big mistake. Look how he running the show in Saudi. Hansi would have unleashed the talent of this wonderkid.

I don't undertand what happened to him. His touch was amazing, close dribling great. He shows none of that now.

What happened is he is terrible at dealing with pressure. Weak mentality. He has the technical quality but is a softie in all aspects for the big level. Poor physical attributes. Nimble, not great resistance to effort... you name it, and athletically, he's not up to par.

Yeah, he offers nothing good anymore. If the team plays good, he's mediocre. If the team plays bad, he sinks as well. For this kind of role, we can have Masia kids, who didn't cost 60m and don't earn a starter salary. Especially for someone, who should be in the prime of his career with 27.
If he doesn't turn around this season, the club needs seriously to consider letting him go in the summer. The #10 position is far too important to give it to a player who just rides the team performance wave.

I agree he's on thin ice. He has to be able to contribute far more. Last season he scored many key goals, vs Rayo, vs Mallorca, vs Las Palmas, vs Celta, those goals added up contributed to quite a few points more in the table.

So far, nothing at all. Zero impact.

Try Dro, Toni, Diarra or Guille. Worst case scenario they are as bad as Olmo, best case scenario we get another player for the first team.

People need to cool down a bit, Fermin will be back after the break so Olmo will be benched. The way he moves on the pitch it's just unbelievable. It's like he got 10 kilos so he can barely move. I simply can't understand what the hell happened to him this season? However, I am sure this boy will bounce back, he has a strong mentality and he has shown that many times during his career.

It doesn't work like that. It's not like every player is Yamal and will immediately impact the team at 17y of age. Flick is not dumb and he probably knows that these boys are not ready for this level. He watches them train every single day. Throwing random B players that are not ready on the field will never be a solution for anything. This is real world football not FIFA.
