We seem to have made a huge mistake.. he needs to reinvent himself if he is to succeed at Barca.
How is he supposed to reinvent himself? He doesnt have the dribbling ability of a winger, and not the strength of a centre forward. He was unable to play with his back to goal today. I thought he could be a decent inverted winger, but there are 2 problems:
a) Messi plays on the right, who probably shouldnt be moved to the middle - and on the left he cant cut inside (wrong foot)
b) Hes neither fast nor a good dribbler (just compare him to Villa, Pedro...)
No idea when I was this pessimistic about a new signing. At least he works hard.
problem is, his performances from the left cant justify him starting there ahead of a player with the actual pace we sorely lack in Dembele.. despite Dembouz being inconsistent.
unlike Coutinho, i thank him and respect him for his workrate and effort but it won't workout here. another huge L from Barto
Yep.
