FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

[Jozh]

Pol Planas is an incredible coach, the technical level and tactical intelligence of some of the players we have is incredible. The maturity of the players, particularly Pedro, is great.

 

[Porque]

Dare I say this years group looks better than last year's?

Granted Pedro R was there last year and Xavi Espart came on and gave solidity.

Everyone looks great, except the 9. He's about 5 foot tall and as weak as. Hopefully just an off game for him.

This group has less known names but play well as a team.

They also look tiny compared to last year, especially the keeper.

The future is bright, the future is Barca.

Iirc last year on MD2 we played Monaco who were absolutely huge and way faster than this PSG.

Maybe the Parisiens team are just not very good.

PSG didn't impress me at all today.

Last year we had Farre, Kospo, Diarra (after he signed), Tommy and the keeper whose name slips me right now; even Alba had decent size for his age.

Good technical & physical team all round.

This team looks smaller on average, but they know how to move off the ball and their technical ability is high, but that's expected.

Kluivert made the squad a few times but didn't play; this year seems to be his year.

Good win

Espart is bloody great in that midfielder at fullback role.

Was everywhere when he comes on and hardly missed being 10 men.

Shame he's a bit undersized otherwise he could be top top.

Hafiz gariba looked solid vs PSG

Would like to see Barca try and train up some of these tall, speedy wide players as CFs.

Vast majority of the CFs seem to be these wee big haired sensible soccer looking lads.

Drammeh for example. Tall, quick, looks decent in air.

In a club that has Roony, Diarra, Toni, Tunkara etc try to turn him into a cf!

 

[Porque]

You make a good point, we spend so much time focusing on these new athletic wingers that we forget to try and build striker with the same priorities.

How you find Nomoko?

Could he be one of those tried as a CF? He looks great to me on the right but his touches may suit a more central role.

His touch needs a lot of improvement to be a striker imo and finishing.

Probably too late for him to play at CF
