yeah i tried it but could probably have had more patience and persistence with the rehab. thanks tho, good luck with your studies! interesting field i've always thought.

True. I've had this for years and it's a pain in the arse to get rid of. You can sort of play with the pain but it just gets worse and worse. You take a long rest, slowly rehab, and then as soon as you're feeling back to your old ability, the pain appears again. At first just a slight soreness...

Better player than Felix.

He's good at using what pace he does have. Plus at 16 he will still get incrementally quicker.

I think he's about Braithwaite level. Even when things were working out for him against Mallorca, it just looked unconvincing. Something clearly missing.

Refs hate him for some reason. Gets no protection at all.

A player that was always better in our heads than on the pitch. The redolence of Iniesta is hollow, has mostly to do with inconsequential details. In terms of actual presence on the pitch, how they influence the game, there is very little resemblence.

Frenkie twisted his ankle in a way that would put anyone on crutches. Pedri injured himself by playing a pass.

"Pass it, don't dribble, pass, no, he's gonna lose it, he's gonna lose it, he's losing it, he lost it." - me, approx 5 times pr game.

Kounde constantly close to giving it away

Just a sprained ankle. Most likely a couple of weeks out

Pedri has zero killer instinct. Huge chance and he looks completely nonchalant messing up his touch.

The dimwits calling him out for taking too long on the ball are mistaking responsibility for passivity. We have plenty of circulation for the sake of circulation. We never fucking get anywhere. What he's doing is taking it upon his shoulders to actually progress the ball in a meaningful way...

Christensen looks like he's about to shit himself everytime the ball is played to him. With him and idling Pedri, our 4 man midfield looks like 2,5.

Sure it would. He could start by simply instructing Pedri not to defend like this: https://streamin.me/v/1f94ae03 That would be a pretty good start.

Defensively we're likely to be improve pretty drastically under a new coach. Our midfielders play basically without any positional disciplin. We sacrifice all shape and structure in favor of this erratic indiscriminate pressure.

Ought to keep him despite the poor performances. Decision making can be improved, sometimes radically under a new coach. That kind of physicality is always an asset.

What was obvious in his absence is that everything grinds to a halt without his off-the-ball contribution. He's probably the single most important player on the pitch. That's not to say he's not without his faults. But the complications with him leaving will be much bigger than if it was Pedri...

This one is my pick. You watch a lot of these youngsters with impressive highligts, but much of what they appear to some degree incidental. With this guy there is intent and composure. That thing which tells you it can be replicated at any level.

Everything about his body language signals 'don't play me the ball'. Two 16 year olds and a 17 year old on the pitch and he's the one who looked like a kid.
