Think EV is better than Lucho as a coach. Lucho pre Barca was quite mediocre. But he has improved a lot post Barca. He learned a lot during his time here. And with the 2015 treble, he will always have bigger teams wanting him.

Fati, Pedri, Gavi then Balde. Lamine better be careful

He is brought here just to warm the bench

Stamina and performance of Arthur now. Look like he doesn't even want to play. May need to bench him.

At least he breaks that 1 assist per season curse. 2 assists this season.

Fair. You are right that Pedri lack of the will to make thing happen by himself. Think it is his natural. But then you can change with more time playing consistently there. I don't think Pedri lack the X factor. He has technique, vision, passing ability. All are useful for any player playing...

When you play in the role to conduct the attack, you need more instruction

True. But then if he doesn't play in that advanced role, he will never improve. Xavi should continue to play him there. May discover something new.

Copa winner, semi finalist UCL (if opponent in QF is not strong) and top 4 in Liga, pretty much secure Xavi's place next season.

Still i hope Xavi will continue to play him as a 10 for the rest of season. That may help Pedri himself. But there should be more instruction from Xavi.

He still has time to turn thing around.

He is just weak, physically and mentally. Passive when it comes to movement in the final third. He represents both good and bad sides of current Barca. Did he cry after Real scored their 3rd goal?

Ever since that Bayern rumor, his head is somewhere else.

Think Xavi was overconfident this time. Still, the first goal happened cause Kounde could not intercept Bellingham's weak pass. After that, simply disaster.

Miss you mister.

Ronaldinho had a master game vs Milan away, assist the winning goal.

Spain post Euro 2012 were simply exhausted. They won threepeat already. Iniesta still had great performances like Confederation cup 2013 and Euro 2016. But then Spain could not move on from 2008-2012 style, the style that must had Xavi. You also have the supposed future of Spain like Isco...

Right. These players are attacking midfielders and see the game like that. They can excel if they play in current Barca.

Xavi had unparalled workrate, like you always have extra man.

Would say Zidane was like taller Pedri, more attacking mind too. Their movement with the ball are quite similiar imo. Pedri run with the ball is like Zidane's style than Iniesta's.
