35 - Gerard Martín

[Sorin]

Another day, another rinsing. Almost lost Inigo to injury because of his lack of pace, and was at fault for keeping the Getafe player onside on that last chance they had.

 

[FCBfan22]

Get him out and play someone else. He is slow AF.

Catalan Tractor. But at fullback.

 

[MontenegrinCuler]

Fort clears him by miles. Idk how Flick doesn't understand this.

His system demands fast fullbacks that can bail us out on those counters. Meanwhile this guy has the pace of a fucking 50 year old grandpa and will be outran by 90℅ of wingers in Europe. Let's hope Flick doesn't give him a single minute in any important UCL game, would be a total disaster lol.

 

[Barcaman]

Even like that he was still a better sub than Ferran

 

[Neeraj]

Yeah since the pre season I've been confused at how he is seeing any minutes. He seems like he really doesn't belong in top flight football tbh.

I'm no great fort supporter but from what we've seen from the two of them it isn't even close.

 

[Masetro10]

This guy makes Sergi Dominguez look like a good prospect.

 

[Barcaman]

Shame we couldn't have kept Faye. Feel he would be playing these minutes. Also maybe as CB resting Inigo/Cubarsi

Faye is yet to get a minute in France. Mainly due to coming from injury he had here.
He is better player than Dom & Mart, but he wouldn't have been an immediate impact now.

Or Alex Valle. I thought he looked good in his debut with Celtic too

 

[FC B]

His lack of pace is disturbing.

 

[FCBarca]

You have to question Flick’s decision & timing to sub Fort & Gerard when he did considering the game was not put to bed yet. I’d even argue that last second miss by the opponents was a result of Gerard

 

[Chomutov]

That is the problem I dont get. He subs in areas where it is vital to keep balance and cohesion defending a 1:0 lead. Yet he doesnt sub players Like Yamal or Raphinha in attack where you cant do a lot of damage to your team. Ansu or Pau Torre cant do much wrong. Maybe they even can produce more due to fresh legs the others dont have anymore. Strange decision making by Flick

No, it makes perfect sense because neither of those attackers are on first team level. Do you think he just hates them? Flick subs in Martin just to rest players because the squad is so thin, no other reason, can't afford to lose anymore defenders at this point, otherwise he might have to start Martin, and that would be way worse.

Make me proud bitch.

Weird Logic you are following there. So it makes sense to rest players by subbing them in the last minutes of the Game? Honestly have you ever played football? Body gets tired around minute 60, 70...Not in minute 90. Here it makes no sense anymore. The only thing you get is confusion in your back Line.
Secondly if they other attackers are not on first team level like you claim..why is Flick playing them in Osasuna?
You dont need to answer on this. Because there isnt one. Deal with it
