Just like with MATS with Olaf, sooner or later we'll find a suitable thread name that will help Ferran's performance

Just like when he had that run of games as a CF in Xavi first season, we can put to bed the idea that this guy can play that position consistently.

Deserved the opportunity after pre-season form though.

Better impact as a sub really.

He had a somewhat decent game, but it became shite the moment he got our 3-2 goal called off. Actually, decent is pushing it, he was mediocre even without that fuck-up. Remember his first touch when 1 vs 1 with the keeper? :lol:

He's a decent bench player. That's it. Could never be a starter if we plan to win things.

Yeah, he is one of those guys who should play well across the offensive line, but doesn't or rather can't consistently, or when he has expectation to.

Probably a mental thing.

I mean, I take solace in the fact that Griezmann couldn't perform here either. A player that should have ability wise.

But for us he was like Torres, when he had a chance you just knew he would miss it, and Griezmann knew he would too.

So in the end Torres is not a bad player, far from it. And even in today's market 60m isn't a huge write off for what he has shown really.

Tactics, tactics, tactics. Oscar doesn’t know ball, yet he’s in charge of tactics at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

That is unfair to Ferran, a Spanish national team regular. Kinda like a farmer who buys expensive equipment but doesn’t use it as intended (to maximize yield). Do you blame the equipment or the user? 😜

Didn't mind his performance. He just lacks the physicality to excel in the center. Night and day to Lewandowski, who's not even a high bar anymore.

Hopefully we can get Roque in January.

he certainly isn't a cf. also don't blame him for the offside. but that control from araujo's pass...
