I feel like he's fallen in love with that shot fake at the edge of the box because it worked a couple times. Doesn't really help against a wall of 6 in front of you though...

Given that the majority of the team will be his Barca teammates (atleast the important ones for linkup play in the midfield and what not) I dont think that he'll have chemistry issues missing out on this round.

Hasn't been that impressive the last two games but I think thats more due to the fact that the first game that he came on and scored / assisted we actually needed it. Xavi is gonna need to start bringing him on earlier or else its just a waste of time since by the 70th min its basically a pickup...

Played great today. Was the missing glue for the attack ala Messi back in the day. Some are daying hes slow but he's never been a speed merchant. I thin he'll be fine especially once Xavi takes him off the wing (he;'s obviously a CF)

I might just be a little stir crazy from the 5 or so years of mediocrity but a cheap la masia grad with excellent dribbling skills and a maybe goal threat sounds kinda good to me. Besides, I feel better with 3 CBs and no wingers pretending to be FBs in the back lmao.

That is a good point, but I don't think not having superhuman speed over long distances or michael phelps lungs precludes him from being a forward or continuing to succeed (albiet inconsistently) in his RW role he's in rn. Not a world class forward mind you, just a forward, remember we won how...

Hahaha just wanna say I'm comparing him to Bale solely in terms of him seeming like he is more of a goal threat / dribbling threat than I'd expect from someone so young in the RB position. Two things we often critique our other forwards for not be able to do (looking at dembele lol)

I don't know if this was discussed before, but do any of you see Sergino as a Bale type player that transitions from wingback to forward? I remember when bale made that transition after some amazing performances in the CL. With the way we're playing rn and the new formation I could see him...

Good finishers make flukes like that happen regularly, they can adjust to the ball falling to the wrong part of their body, look at Messi's goal in the FIFA CWC a decade ago when he used his chest.

Just because this crime is less devastating than those doesn't mean it isn't a crime. It is in fact possible to be against indiscriminate war AND ****. I can assure you that what's going on in the middle east is being reported as well as crimes all over the world.

No you're right he's screwed publicly no matter what, atleast with companies that do business in America. You can see it in the difference in the responses from Nike/EA and the one from Juve.

I don't think civil settlements have any bearing on criminal charges, see Asia Argento.

He was also like 17 and dint have any muscles in his leg to shoot properly :lol: but even back then you knew he was going to be really really good, its actually surprising that he didnt get snapped up by a bigger club sooner.

Coutinho was a horrible finisher when he first came to europe, not saying dembele will end up like him but finishing is much easier to work on than dribbling/ passing imo.

Honestly he doesnt even need to learn how to pass, let him practice long curling shots and stick him on the left and tell him dribble cut in and shoot and he'd probably be good enough to be a back up winger for any team and a starter for mid table teams :lol:

I mean last season I'd say he did dominate the games against bigger teams, the only important match we lost was against Roma and they are one of the 'lesser' teams imo.

Thank god.

He would be perfect for Cryuff's diamond midfield from back in the day RM and drop back to defend the wings.

Not to necessarily discount what you said but remember when we won the treble Rakitic had a heavy defensive role on that side as Alves roamed.

Who cares if he doesn't pan out? Busquets is the only definite starting midfielder we have now because iniesta is winding down. Its time to experiment until we find another good midfield. That means buying new people like Seri even if they might not pan out and testing out youngsters like Alena...
