6 - Gavi

[JamDav1982]

Some decent moments on ball but a few bad ones that needs to get a lot better at.

First goal awful awareness to give away ball then second he dives in and lets the player go by him to then pick pass behind Kounde.

He needs to calm down and realise not everything needs to be done at 100mph.

Barca are playing risky game on counter and midfielders need to slow them down at times not always trying to chase anything that moves and win ball.

 

[te amo barca]

Needs to improve at long balls big time if wants to be effective playing deeper. His pings are hit-and-miss.

 

[malvolio]

This guy won't be a top player, ever. Maybe he'll get lucky and be mentored by someone on how to control his impulses. But otherwise he is just an animal with no composure on the field.

 

[JamDav1982]

Terrible.

So many brain farts of bad awareness and leaving gaps open as over closes anything near him.

No even sure where he was expected to be in 2nd half just randomly ran about passing to first man he seen. No quality at all to help open game up when needed.

Guy needs to chill and smoke some weed during game week.

Just plays like a savage with no brain and no awareness mindlessly charging at people and turning into traffic

 

[FCBfan22]

Makes millions of stupid errors and then he shouts at the ref.

Just what we need when FDJ and Pedri are out.

 

[mc_lovin]

Good game in principle, but two really stupid mistakes. Kounde, Stegen and Christensen as well. Pretty much all the guys with basically zero rest.

 

[JamDav1982]

No it was a awful game.

He did fuck all on ball in that second half and showed not quality.

He had a good spell of around 10 mins after 1-0 then was terrible.

Bad giveaways and stupidly over pressing time leaving gaps.

 

[Total-Football]

Big red flags. Dude is really a case of "arrested development". Played better than hid age back then froze in time. He is relentless in pressing and tracking back and fighting, but , give him the ball with some space and he will give it back to u immediately . For a midfielder of his age who is not a destroyer (defensive midfielder) this is truly alarming.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

IQ of a crackhead

 

[ajnotkeith]

He just is a bit of an idiot. That's the truth.

When they almost scored the 3rd this guy was waiting to sprint on the kickoff line like an animal, as soon as Granada kicked off he went flying towards their center mid and got instantly bypassed as they nearly scored.

Just plays like an absolute savage and has no sense of calm that you need from a midfielder sometimes. Not what you expect from La Masia talents.

Against better teams will get carved apart doing that.

 

[JamDav1982]

He has no pause to his game.

Everything he wants to do at 100 mph.

Steams into every challenge when there are times needs to use his head and slow game down.

On ball his awareness is still poor. Constantly turns into players and then when on ball rarely takes time to see options open and does little with it to progress the game.

Fucking huge way to go to be a top player and not sure Xavi is helping him all that much.

 

[Richard.H]

His clumsiness led to Kounde's injury, dumbass needs to be aware of his surroundings and where he's falling. He can sometimes be like a child on a playground.

 

[utility73]

If he would just have half as much brain as he has heart …

 

[JamDav1982]

He is a bit of a one trick pony at this stage.

Career about smashing into anything that moves and chase ball about park and try to turn on it when deep and make first obvious pass further up park.

Little else overall really and needs to add a lot.

Dont think Xavi helps when calls him 'heartbeat' of team etc and mouths off about how Gavi will always play.
