6 - Gavi

[DonAK]

Gavi's passion and effort is admirable, but him being positionally undisciplined and unproductive isn't.
Coming back from a serious injury so will give him time obviously, but I had the same issue with him before the injuries.

At some point you have to be able to provide more than "passion and heart" to help the team unless you want to pay him to be a cheerleader.

Yeah.
He is a bit polarising player for me. Sometimes you can watch him and call him world class or world class potential, others you wonder why he is on the pitch.

Something about his game has irked me since 22/23. He usually passes it to the nearest player in attack, just very unproductive, after making too many touches on the ball. In defense he makes good interceptions but also vacates his area too easily, huge holes when it doesn't work out. I don't like how he's evolving as a player

Thats the major issue with Gavi. Like I say everytime. He plays exactly as his debut with the senior team. He literally froze at 17 years old when it comes to football abilities and skills. He has good attributes but those are not enough at all, much more, the big question is why doesnt he improve at all ! We ll see this season.

He has some very nice and cool moments, but if you go back and watch most of his games you'll see the same issues.
Reminds me of a cult hero which the fanbase glorifies for being a warrior despite being mediocre on the pitch.

What annoys me the most about Gavi is that he actually was more disciplined, tried to play more incisive passes or look to create or pass forward when he made his debut, but for some reason decided resorting into becoming a Temu version of a headless Gattuso along the way.
