6 - Gavi

[mc_lovin]

Is being an ok level la liga player an insult? He's 19, that's a very good level to be at his age. And over the season if you average out how he plays that's the level he's been at. But it's all or nothing with you lot. Either have to blow smoke up his arse or you're a hater.

Yes. He's a starter for Spain ffs.

???

Who had the tired legs?

Gavi?

 

[Rory]

Yes. He's a starter for Spain ffs.

Come on, this can't be your line of argument. You seen the level of the spain national team these days? Lots of ok level players getting games

 

[JamDav1982]

Yes. He's a starter for Spain ffs.

You rate all Spains starters as top players?

He plays AM for Spain also but we got told that’s not his position.

 

[Co0ter]

Gavi been excellent this season? LOL

And it's the people claiming to "know ball". Fucking hilarious. Such plebs.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Sometimes good, sometime shit, so basically average. Don't get why there's so much passionate arguing around him. Apart from his fouls he's hardly noticeable, but that can be said about most of our players.

Yes in part because he chases anything that moves.

He is also the player that gives away most fouls and gets dribbled past the most in Barca side and who knows if there is a stat for how often drawn out of posiition chasing ball as was on both Real Madrid goals.

Needs to know when to try and win ball and when to hold position and also improve massively on ball.

There are a ton of players nowhere near good enough for Barca that can have those 'dual' stats if just allowed to chase ball around park endlessly.

He does some things well and has to improve a lot in areas.

Football fans in general can be won over quite easily by players that get about and put challenges in.

I just found out Bellingham's father is white. But I didn't know his father was also Spanish.

Qué puto jugador.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Its just not enough. Really just not enough.
Nowhere near enough quality or game control on the ball and we are suffering for it every game.

 

[JamDav1982]

that must be close to a pen!

 

[JamDav1982]

Outsdie box anyway.

 

[JamDav1982]

Absolutely honking performance with zero quality on ball and constantly out of postion defensively chasing anything that moves.

 

[Barcaman]

Absolutely honking performance with zero quality on ball and constantly out of postion defensively chasing anything that moves.

We would have lost without him for sure. Gundogan lost many balls too. Pedri did nothing when he came on.

His is one of the few players that really showed character tonight and he does it each time he plays.
