He usually plays great at cm if he's given a box to box role, take the ball from midfield and run it up to attack is usually his thing.

Kinda sucks for him. Sergi has went from prospective squad player to competing for the RB starting position in under a month.

Everyone's already injured so it only helps us :lol:

His finishing has been pretty poor this season so far. Needs to step it up.

Thats kind've just suarez as he's been at barca, doing mostly grunt work, pressing, holding back cbs. Then he just latches onto a ball and BOOM. Which is exactly what we paid for someone to score when messi can't/isnt playing.

Could be worse, hope he comes back better than he was tonight.

At this rate Samper might actually get called up :lol:

The weird thing is, at the tail end of last season he was fine with pressure, its like he's still on vacation.

So maybe he can dribble a little, scuffed the shot but i'll let it slide. Hope he gains confidence from this.

This guy needs to be a starter now, he can't be on the bench anymore, at the very least he needs to be starting 40-50% of the games from now on.

There are a plethora of examples of barca goals in packed boxes that doesn't require one on one dribble, that at the most require quick passing and smart movement by an attacker. You can look at any Messi goal compilation and you'd see those goals when he'd make wall passes with...

Say what you will about samper, he's a damn good playmaker thats for sure.

I think its better for him to stay the course, by the time we can register him we'll have turan and vidal so his playing time will be limited. Better to have him get better over the season to be ready to compete next season.

Finally. He's been playing in U-21 for what? 10years? :lol:

I agree with you but there is also a third way which we do quite often, fast incisive passing.

He does it so effortlessly.

If he doesn't make it here thats fine in my opinion. Halilovic is coming along fine and hopefully Rafinha will be back to how he was doing before and with that we'll hopefully have 2 players that can deuptize the midfield/RW and hopefully become starter material one day. And of course we can...

That was a ridiculously good cross, still can''t match Alves' offensive contribution though. And when Alves is on form he's just as good defensively imo. But its stll early days and he's already good enough to compete with Alves I have high hopes for him especially after a season of playing at RB.

I mean, we did strengthen the midfield. Lucho brought back rafinha and trained him up to the point where before his injury he was playing very well in midfield and was able to deputize rakitic with no pain to the side. And we bought Turan also. So I don't think we really need anymore...

Seriously, screw fifa at this point. I think they straight up hate us for some reason, did Rosell do something to piss them off? Was it the whole Neymar thing? ARGH
