André Gomes

Gave him a chance and it's been 7 months now and he hasn't shown that he fits our team.

I think both are equally unimpressive. And it's also a crime Denis is wearing the #6.

Not that I'm a fan of Denis really, but watching Gomes in these fast-paced games is not pretty. With his skill set it looks like his only option to do anything is to pass it first time, while Denis at least can dribble and has some speed.

and rakitić got kicked out for this?

You see, that's it.
But he is favored by the coach for some unknown reason, thus the rest of the season you may get used to the fact that he will play a lot, despite he is a clear failure for this team.

I remember him playing more foward-thinking and a creative role in Valencia, very different from the style of play he's using now.

It's almost like he's following orders, like "keep circulating the ball". As if the team has a leader who decides how each player should play.

Would this fit in the club's philosophy?

Was the same with Arda really, took a long time before Lucho stopped playing him in midfield, even after getting plenty of subs for those positions. He's just way too stubborn with pricier signings.

Not that I am fan of Gomes (he adds nothing to our current setup) but when one player moves inward and rarely comes back to defend it's only natural you need to play another player wider and constrain his forward movements. That's what happenes with Messi and Rakitic, Gomes, whoever.

It's really hard to expect much from any player in that role.

Goos posts tend to confuse me as well tbh

 

[feggydinho]

Yes I agree with u soo much

 

[jamrock]

By starting him you are basically wasting a substitution every match

He produced a cool Heel-Flick back pass in the 1st half (I think to Bob). Overall, he a better game than usual. Some1 just needs to tell him to aim low when he's going for a long range goal. His long range attempts somehow always end up flying above the post.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He is just too vanilla and never expect him to produce like Rakitic in his prime.
