I could never buy Gavi as a hard man - he has the face and hair of a model and is fairly slim/lean and slight.
But then appearances can be deceiving.

How about Bruce Lee.

He causes a good deal of defensive instability when he comes on. When pressing he just lurches straight at the ball and is easy to pass around. He also runs into zones occupied by teammates, leaving holes in our shape.

To be fair to him he isnt a top AM and certainly not in an open game where would be wanting the AM to carry ball or open up passes to front three.
It isnt his game.
Not the first time Garcia has been preferred deeper and would guess it was down to Flick again wanting more physicality in there and knowing Dortmund will be throwing men into box.
Gavi I am not sure he trusts there as much in those situations due to his height and the way he closes down so much at moment.
As long as Gavi can keep a level for remainder of season to allow rotation and improve on ball when deeper and at AM v teams that sit back that is enough for now and hopefully can kick on next season.

Shouldn't start CL games at this stage for sure. Flick played him mostly for effort.

He worked hard tonight but the way Flick set up it was very very hard for midfield to get on ball and dominate it.
Could see it with FDJ and Pedri let alone Gavi.
The midfield were badly out numbered and heavily pressured. Defence didnt help with shit passing in to them and forward and fowards stayed up park to risk open game.

Regarding the comments here about post-injury/surgery, he has always ran and moved weirdly. He runs with a lot of tiny steps and with a lot of knee flexion. It's hard to move efficiently like that. Before his injury, he had some of the same issues with movement.

Cardioboy needs to start showing more quality soon and allow it to stop being such a drop off when he comes in for FDJ/Pedri or Olmo.
Expected more v Dortmund.
