Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

[Messi983]

Should teach polish tractor how to take pens.

 

[TheStig]

Anybody watches him? How does he look?

Didn't expect this kind of stats, very surprising.

 

[Messi983]

Most important is he enjoys football again and looks good physically. Seen him getting into some duels that he avoided last year. That is probably more a mental than physical thing so good if he fully trusts his body again.

Yesterday was his best game overall so far, some good dribbles and link up plays though most of the time I think he was playing too deep. It's good to see Hutter is giving him a lot of confidence and freedom but he's a better finisher than creator and should be closer to the box to play to his strength. But I understand why he dropped deeper as Nice were a man down and Monaco had two strikers (Balogun and Biereth, later replaced with Ilenikhena) on the pitch ahead of him for entire second half.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He is on fire. Wow.

 

[Catta]

Ansu coming back for his #10 next season.
Hustle hard junior needs to step up.

 

[jamrock]

He's playing as a 10 and doing the things olmo should be doing when we are being out played in Midfield, dropping deeper. Smh.

That's not the best use of his talents, if he's a 10, then he should be a muller type 10, crashing the box late to finish

But play time is always good, he needs it.

 

[jaype]

Y'all falling for it. He'll get injured soon. Of course I don't wish it on him but his body is too fragile for the high demands of modern football.

 

[Raketa10]

He is on fire. Wow.

He is only scoring from a penalty spot.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He is only scoring from a penalty spot.

Mbappe is probably the favourite for the Bdor after scoring ten(don't know but MANY) penalty goals this season.

The whole world is fooled!

 

[Porque]

He is only scoring from a penalty spot.

Now you ruined the joke!

-Sprints past all the defenders.

-Slots it past the keeper with one touch from around 12 yards out.

On second thoughts, like a Baggio penalty in 94, I think it was going over alot of people's heads

 

[Messi983]

He is only scoring from a penalty spot.

You need to score pens too. Yeah, I'm watching you, tractor!

also scored 3 goals from open play as well so can't really say it's only penalties.

Some concerning reports that Hutter could be sacked. Hopefully not as he was the one who really believed in Ansu and convinced him to join Monaco. And who knows if a new coach would trust him as much.

 

[Andresito]

Trust or not, if he wants to revive his career he better perform good enough to be unbenchable.

With that said. I find the chances of him becoming a top player slim to none. Can't think of a player who has been mediocre for so many years, to suddenly live up to his potential.

 

[jamrock]

Already talks of if he's currently the best SS in the world.

I say yes

 

[Messi983]

Yeah, but most of those "mediocre" players didn't have enough quality in first place so we couldn't expect them to turn into top players.

Ansu never lacked talent. He just never fully believed in his body which is understandable after all the hell he has gone through (and I put lot of blame for that on Barca's doctors) and OTOH there was also no coach standing 100% behind him like Hutter seems to be now. He had two months of special physical preparations or whatever they were doing and it seems to be working.

I've seen his last 3 games, and he scored 3 goals (3 penalties).

He wasn't much of a threat going forward, from what I saw, and I wouldn't replace any of our current attackers with him. Let's see how he fares in time, though, as he may improve with more minutes.
