8 - Pedri

[vegitot]

Feel like he thinks oh there is no time to play safety so i decide to play better.
Lucho needs to tell him play like that. Not like a ghost in the first half.

 

[DonAK]

Gerard Moreno need to start ahead of Morata too.

 

[hardyboy]

Absolute crap in first half, but the last 30 mins stepped up massively and actually moved and passed forward

Last 10 mins not 30

 

[Andresito]

Only Barcaforum shitting on him, praised everywhere else lol.

 

[jamrock]

He benefited from Spain's best midfielder,who for some reason started on the bench,coming on in the last 30 minutes.

The kid is good & will be great, but this isn't barca where our midfield is trash, so he has to start, Spain has much better options in midfield to start games.

Because we know how good he can really be

Not sure that Thiago has a good game. It would be better if Busquest starts.

 

[JamDav1982]

First 70 odd mins look like played with breaks on to try and get into positions between opposition to try and link up and free Alba.

More freedom near end looked different player.

His first half is really mediocre. Better in the second half.

 

[DonAK]

The thing is.....while he need to take more risks with his forward passing he need someone to make those runs too. Spain usually don't do that and neither do Barca.

IMO he might also benefit more being first sub rather than a starter for both teams in an ideal situation.

To be fair people get giddy about anything at International tournaments. He was Spains best player last 20 mins or so though to me.

 

[Messi983]

He was literally a ghost the first 45 minutes, so idk what clearly better you saw.

Did Morata, Ferran or Rodri show more than him? Olmo was ok and Koke probably the best in 1st half but his level also dropped in 2nd half.

Thiago shouldn't be playing as DM, busquets yes because rodri is kinda ass.

Busquets & Thiago + 1

Maybe but in the first half it almost feel like he doesn't want to pass it into penalty era. He changes it in the last 20 mins. I think it maybe his mindset.

He had a very good game imho BBC just highlighted his best bits..quite a few as well - all of Spain?s best bits actually .
