6 - Gavi

[FCBfan22]

I'm telling you right now, when we get a striker that presses constantly, it's over for la Liga and Europe

Here, FTFY.

 

[Skalman]

Yeah, and it's not easy to pull that off anyway unless you got the right players.
I don't think it's the ideal setup for Pedri anyway and what do you do with Olmo then?
Two out of Gavi, Frenkie and Bernal will always be benched for the big games if the other guys are healthy. They have to get used to it.

First let see if Bernal even reaches the heights he had before the injury. In Olm´s position its the same with Torre (Who I still believe a little in) and Fermin, but Fermin is rumored to leave so we will see.

Ferrmin isnt leaving.

I think Fermin will stay. Those rumors are likely bogus.

More likely that Torre leaves on loan or sale with buyback I think.

Pedri and Gavi don't fit a 4-3-3. Gavi has always been a player without a position shoehorned at LCAM since breaking out and Pedri has played 4-2-3-1 since his Las Palmas days

Like I said book mark the post, if you don't think he can play 433, watch the first season under Xavi.

But I'm not trying to convince anyone, just wait and you'll see

First season under Xavi he wasnt a starter in 433 and one of few times Xavi tried him and Pedri together they got destroyed by Frankfurt both games.

I wouldn't mind both of them left. Fermin has overall been better than Tuna, but Tuna has been alright last couple of months - but for the money we could get for them we could do better if we had an alright sporting department.

 

[mc_lovin]

It's definitely future talk, hence why I said the dream.

 

[JamDav1982]

Essentially saying punt Olmo and get a DM to play 433... isnt happening.

That is not the dream at all.

 

[ZenI]

But Gavi will stay 100%. Not sure if I like that, but he'll simply never leave anyway.

No one in their right mind would sell Gavi. Even if he remains a rotational option. He's destined for more though.

Olmo will be hard to displace if he keeps it up to be fair. The 30% he's available mind you.

 

[JamDav1982]

Of course he isnt leaving.

No chance he is moving Olmo or formation being changed any time soon.

His minutes will be deeper and today is a better start for him and for Barca to hopefully be able to rotate more and have more options off bench if he starts or doesnt.

Constantly occupying the same zone as others. Driving me nuts. The way he over-approaches the ball holder as well. Often abandoning a good spot in order to get into rondo range with no exit strategy.

His progressive passing was meh. Gets it forward but rarely seems to be thinking a step ahead of the pass. A lot of dead ends and stalled possessions from his distribution.

He played well enough tonight and moved it well and early.

Reality is he is still raw probably been hampered a bit over last few years with way been used but he was good tonight and still learning.

Doubt will ever have an easier game but even then if he plays well he plays well.

He had a couple of nice switches and line-breaking passes but his positioning needs work, yeah. Literally standing in the way of the passer. Happened with Pedri about 5 times at least in this match.

On the bright side he is assured in possession and not a turnover machine
