8 - Pedri

I think his natual progession will be in the deeper areas where he helps build up play rather than playing in the final third.
He has the skill to play in the final third but none of the temperament. He has to be put in a role where he doesn't have to invent runs or seize spaces with high risk, because he just hasn't got the appetite for those situations. And so when the pressure is on, he sort of just fades out of the game.

Something like the position he played in Euros 2020 would be optimal I agree.

Pedri will be fine.

He starts every time.

The decision for Xavi is how much he trusts Gavi.Raph, Lewa etc and Romeu.

Team badly lacked pace and movement before the subs.

His technique is occasionally exceptional, but has almost no end product (very low goals & assists numbers) and is very soft. And injury prone.
In the end is turning into a useless player the more he plays. Some cute turns with the ball but plays no better than Arthur did. Sell this kid for 100 to some idiot team

Pedri is useless
Gavi is useless
Rapinha is useless
Lewandoski is useless
Frenkie is useless
Kounde is useless
Busquets was useless
Xavi is useless

One has to wonder how we even won the league with all these useless players

They are from good to very good, not useless. The problem is the fans' expectations are elite, not just high. So, there's a misalignment there.

Everybody says they'd want the team to just play nicer football, but it's a lie. They wouldn't be satisfied with playing nice and losing. Barca fans, at least the current ones, want to play great football and win big titles. It's just not possible atm.

Nah Barca fans absolutely can expect to win playing better football than have been with players have.

Xavi himself will be expecting the team to play better football than have.

I hope this team hasn't peaked in terms of silverware...

Barca fans funny as hell.

Some much critical talk about gavi and Pedri, two midfielders literally every team would bite our hands off to have.

Only an idiot will say Pedri is useless .

but he needs to at least double his assists/goal/breaking passes this season.

People comparing him to Musiala are as stupid as the one saying he is useless
