6 - Gavi

[Horatio]

Probably the player with the best future in the entire team. He is naturally resilient, fearless, with no respect for any opponent (in a good way), fights for every ball, and is just well built, all key qualities for modern football.

Balde says hi. Unless you mean other big teams will be in it for him he gets sold for hefty fee thus will have future somewhere else.

 

[JohnN]

Brilliant today. Not sure if this formation will be repeated or it was an adjustment for this game.

Balde is my 2nd favorite currently. Pedri not completely convinced about.

I am all for Gavi playing as Valvarde is for Madrid ? but not as one of our 3 center midfielders. Would much rather see todays trio

You have got in your head Pedri is slow and cant get past it.

 

[kattanib]

Lol, Pedri is diamond but needs a setup that helps him to do less defensive work and more offensive

MOTM

People do him injustice calling him all hustle. He?s absolutely brilliant technically as well. It shows more and more why youth coaches were raving about him. Was pretty much considered 2nd to none in La Masia. Well him and that Yamal fella

18 years old.... damn

 

[te amo barca]

I mean he absolutely skipped Barca B like Messi.

Ansu did the same, and if he bounces back from injuries he'll also be a star.

When he plays like this with initiative going forward he's great. It's just that in too many games he seems to lose his head and do nothing but run around, foul people, not do much with the ball or play simple passes only, run around and foul people, rinse and repeat.

Although could be some instructions where he's told to keep it simple so who knows.

He has been lacking big time technically in comparison to likes of Pedri and FDJ.

He is still young and learning and was class tonight.

But even in those games his close control shines through. The ball is glued to his feet - very Messiesque without having the pace.

Impact is his ?issue?. Not technique.

Impact is his ?issue?. Not technique.

I dont think his technique hasnt been on a par with those two.

Dribbling with ball, range of passing etc even finding areas to get on ball and influence game.

Defensively I think he can be a headless chicken at times also and other two understand that side better also.

For 18 he still has a hell of a lot going for him but has been great this season or consitently impacting games.

He is learning though and clearly should be a top prospect.
