He definitely found a lot of good areas to get on the ball during the time FDJ wasn't playing also. A couple of good games with FDJ doesn't change that, neither does one worse game (the latest).

His best form this season has been since the turn of the year and he wasnt great away to Las Palmas etc either.
100% he finds it easier on ball with FDJ than likes of Casado/Garcia/Gavi etc.
Doesnt mean he has to be poor every other game. He is world class..just he definitely finds it easier with FDJ on the ball.
Seen it vs Benfica away.. not great first 60 mins then world class once FDJ on. Same vs Alaves when struggling 0-0 and Casado off for FDJ and then Pedri was world class in 2nd half. Same vs Real away.. better in second half once FDJ on.
It is clear as day when watch them together he can hold position more and gets ball in better areas.
Keep pushing that false narrative, he was outstanding several games without FJD with Casado by his side in the beginning of the season. Then Casado fell off, which didnt help.

Nah its a fact.
Keep failing to know what you are watching.
Pedri and Casado together was the main pair as Barca won 1 in 8 and fell 7 points behind Real.. the pair that was 0-0 with Alaves at HT before Casado off.. the pair losing to Benfica 3-1.. the pair 0-0 away to Real before win 4-0... the pair losing to Atletico only a few days ago.
Pedri himself says how much easier FDJ makes it on the ball.. but just you tell Pedri it is a 'false narrative'.
You pick and choose as you want with extremely weak support , Bayern M, Real Madrid, Dortmund away all significant victories over difficult teams. Who played together Pedri- Casado. I already said Atletico this season was one of his worst games this season, still you bring it up.

Nah it is clear to anyone who watches how far ahead FDJ is than Casado on the ball and Pedri himself comments on how much easier FDJ makes it on ball... but you keep your wee narrative.
Yes Ateltico was the latest on.. this year same in many others and towards xmas last year.
I dont think Pedri was particularly brilliant v the likes of Bayern and midfield struggled to get much of a grip until late on. Bayern were dominating the ball in middle of park for long spells and Barca bypassed that to front three.
No one is saying Barca cant win.. but as Pedri himself states and clear to anyone who watches.. it is easier on the ball with FDJ.
I don't argue that Casado is a better player than FDJ of course he isn't when FDJ is healthy, but you make it sound that the only reason Pedri is playing good is because of FJD which is of course absurd.

De jong has definitely showed in his Barcelona career, that when things go south like the run of games we had towards the end of last year.
He's definitely showed he's capable of galvanizing the team when it's down.
He's the solution, he's 100% showed that 😂.
While the kid from the 3rd division was giving MOTM appearances time after time, some against the best team in the world and a team that routinely beats up

Fake news.. another one you have called wrong.
'But but Flick will never start FDJ ahead of Casado'.. that lasted long.
Bit like claims about Gavi.
FDJ has been levels better for Barca than Casado has been this season.
Who on earth has Casado been MOTM against? More lies.

De Jong has NEVER in his entire FC Barcelona career, but together as many excellent performances back to back to back, as casado did at the beginning of the season.
NEVER NOT ONCE.
But keep trying to tear down a kid that was playing 3rd division ball a few months ago, for a 80m euros 27 year old.
That's sure gonna teach us and make him look great.

You have absolutely no clue and exposing it.
FDJ has been levels above for Barca than Casado has been this season.
Back to the '3rd division' argument... always the same... no argues he wasnt playing 3rd division.. it is irrelevant to the debate.
Keep lying about 'MOTM in big games'.
You had so much clue you thought Flick would prefer Gavi and Casado to FDJ...

Clearly and FDJ was absolute levels ahead in other seasons like Koemans and when Barca won the league.
Takes an absolute numpty to think Casado this season is better than that.. and can tell them a mile off.
