35 - Gerard Martín

[JamDav1982]

He is a better passer than Balde thats for sure.
But good game, hope it elevates him enough to get interest and we can fetch some good money.

Noice.

Balde has had some cracking passes this season to be fair better than anything Gerard did yesterday.

I think he knows he cant dribble out of pressure the way Balde can so has to look for early pass which had some very good ones up the line/wide.

He's a much better passer than Balde, even better than FdJ.

Stop pining.

 

[Porque]

It's a positive for the coaching side that guys like Gerard have improved a fair bit compared to 3-4 months back.

 

[JamDav1982]

It is also a dream to play against a team like Sociedad who more or less chucked the game at 1-0 let alone 2-0.

Had couple decent balls up line prior to that though to be fair.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Not a bad appearance today.

 

[te amo barca]

He has a pretty high IQ in passing selection, that was evident during the pre-season already.

 

[MonteCuler]

Slowly we're starting to see why Flick preferred him over Fort

Although a few months back really nobody could understand that

Well, Flick knows a little more than us I guess

Well, he sees them every day in training.

I saw sth funny today.

Gerard Martin’s highlights

 

[jamrock]

Flick W?

I don't know yet, need until the end of the season.

But much improved, even if not really tested.

Still think fort is much better if given a chance.

But If you to be Pedri level of you're a short king under flick, under wise he'll just go with the taller player.

But it is a stupid comparison.
Martin is LB with left food and fort is RB with right food.
There are not many examples in world football where a RB is as good on the left side as he is on the right. I just know cancelo and he played as a inverted lb at man city.

Balde needs a backup while kounde doesnt because he is the strongest we have. He can play every game

 

[Titan98]

And most fans just say fort is better because of age, thats not relevant for a backup

Absolute nonsense again.. 'chooses the taller player'. Has taller CBs than Cubarsi and Inigo and at times chosen Garcia ahead of talker players also.
Fort is taller than Kounde.
Gerard is taller than Balde.
Just nonsense as usual most likely looking for 'reasons' as to why Casado and Gavi not as nailed as made out to be.

Must be because Frenkie and Olmo are 'taller'.
