More like:

Pep/MSN:
Attacking Strength: 100%
Defending: 70%

Valverde:
Attacking Strength: 60%
Defending: 80%

We had Alves-Pique-Puyol-Alba in defence, thats better than what we have now.
Also we had peak Xavi-Iniesta-Busquetes, thats miles better than our current midfield (attack was the best defence)
Ontop of that, Xavi and Iniesta created 168967726x more for our attackers than our current midfield that relies only on Messi.

Just 10% more in defense? Player names mean nothing when your opponent is having clear cut goalscoring chances everytime you lose the ball.

And his attacking is 40% less compared to Pep whose attacking is completely nullified everytime his team faces a defensive team that parks bus?

I concur with BBZ except that attacking is 90% for pep and 80% for valverde.

His vision and understanding of the game is really really good his age taken into consideration. Criminal how Suarez wasted those chances.

He will only get better, and in Barca their is no limit to how good he can be. Very bright future.

 

[serghei]

He was good but he's pretty inconsistent.

Barca's defending with Mascherano is terrible though. Almost always out of position and slower in run that his only saving attribute is tackles. Pique almost played one man defense. Everytime the opponent regains posession they had clear cut chances. Their only difficulty would be overcoming Busquets interception of passes and recovery of possession (best I've ever seen). The fact that we always is better than Real defensively is mainly because of the greatest ever ability of Xavi and Iniesta and exceptional positional, intercepting, game reading attributes of Busquets and Pique.

Pep’s Barça team conceded only 24 goals in 2009/10, 21 in 2010/11 and 29 in 2011/12... Lucho’s Barça also conceded 21 in 2014/15 and yet you people rate it 50%.

Still 7 games to go let’s see if Valverde’s Barça can concede less than 21 first before putting down ridiculous percentages.

He is grabbing the numbers out of thin air.

 

[Givenchy]

wasn't bad and would of had a few assists if Suarez could finish. pretty much playing as expected of a 20year old at a new club, inconsistent but you can see the talent is there.

 

[xXKonan]

He was great in the first half but like most of the team in the second half he pretty much was quiet but did get the assist for Leo's 3rd goal.

5 Assists in like 587 mins of action in La Liga and he could have had more in his short time if Suarez etc had finished their chances.

Suarez missing that great pass from Dembele was a heartbreaking moment (although later it was shown to be offside which the ref didn't call).

Ousmane is adjusting somehow to the system, but in the process he's playing less individually, doesn't go crazy mode with dribbles like he did earlier in the season. I think Valverde and the coaching staff changed him.

This ↑

I was also thinking the same about his defensive pressing yesterday. Playing under Valv will push him into developing new skill sets. Very cool!

 

[Trafalgar]

I think Valverde is turning him into a less skillful but more effective player.

That is exactly what I said he should be doing few months back and everyone was bashing me as if I am a complete lunatic

 

[kattanib]

He is not even 20. EV should tell him that for next season he will play as a pure winger. Run, pass, cross and track back. He should know that the 3 stars of the team are Messi then Suarez then Coutinho. Dembele is there to serve these stars who have earned this level of respect. This is all Dembele needs to be concerned about for next season.

If I was EV, I would even publish these KPIs and KPTs so that media and fans don't give him hard time

Here it is

Could had 4 assists.
