19 - Lamine Yamal

I agree he had a bit of an attitude/looked frustrated.

He did seem to try hard however, and created numerical advantages through his dribbling several times. Could've broken through the defense already in the first half, had Lewa not fumbled several one-twos.

Ultimately he was clearly the most involved and best of the front three, and I feel you can see how much he appreciates Olmo's technical qualities. Olmost as if he finally got a buddy to link up with. Still room for improvement tho, good thing he has a few years to do so.

Here is highlights of his performance. Please do rewatch. Is this what you consider a "bad performance" for 17 year old? Damn

This clip is full of bad decisions: passing when he should not and where he should not, dribbling when he should have passed, taking wrong direction when carrying, etc.

Except for two good crosses in the box for Lewa and Rapha in the 2nd half, this was a 3/10 given his abilities.
And the clip did not capture his body language, which says it all

PS: BTW, stop using the '17 yr' old excuse when suits.
Precisely bcz he is young, his attitude has to get fixed early before it;s too late

I am his biggest fan in here, but I see things objectively. As they are.
And I tell you: his attitude needs FIXING right now

Was coming to post that refs need to protect him more, and then saw that foot pic.

Referees should protect him more.

Today's one let Palmas get away with too much on Olmo, Pedri and Lamine.

I don't know, this was a complicated game so naturally rating players performances after that might be complicated as well. A good chunk of people are arguing he was bad and he was good. Not just for him, other players too. For me he was good although there were flaws in his game especially in 1st half. It also depends on what you give importance to, for example I couldn't care less about his body language.

We will see in the coming games. I'm not a fan of inconsistent players either, he wasn't good the last few games but today imo he was good. If he can go on like this, I don't think people would complain so much.

It's not fatigue, if that's the attitude from min.1'
It is clearly attitude.
Might be he has less motivation against smaller sides, maybe he is too complacent now that he knows he is a certified starter and the face of the club in the future
Who knows

Whatever it is, it has to be cut RIGHT NOW, and not let this attitude linger and grow, because there are tons of examples of super talents that got wasted just because of that
Word!! x 2
