Many media sources said that he would flourish without Messi dominating the ball but I just dont think its gonna happen for him, he is simply not good enough. Was never a major fan of his and always thought he was a bit overrated at AM.

he's good when he's the locus of attacking activity but basically useless when not. if we want to use him, then he should play as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1. otherwise sell.

Was fucking terrible and has never and will never be a winger who holds the width and is left with game on front of him.

Last season he was at his best when central and was in a lot of ways more effective the less he was on the ball.

He does his best work playing off a big no.9 such as Costa at AM or Giroud at France. Barca will never have that big strong forward as its not in the clubs style. He doesn't fit our style and will continue to be non effective in games.
If we could sell we would but on his wages, nobody will take him of our hands.

Yeah and get him Deschamps as manager, big donkey Giroud up front and Mbappe on wing. With Pogba behind.

I really don't see what we have to lose, playing 4-2-3-1. People say it didn't work last time, well what do you call what we're doing right now? Is this working?

Depay.
Ansu. Griez. Demir.
Pedri. De Jong.

Griezmann will provide work in the middle to reach some kind of defensive balance. Pedri can't play between the lines anyway.

Stunning how bad he was.

How is it possible that he cannot dribble a ball while being a professional player?!

He just can't conduct the ball and is useless on the wings. One touch-football and give-and-go with movement around him is the only way to make him not suck. Worse option at RF than the likes of Carles Perez. I think that with Braithwaite's injury, Koeman will revert to a back three to accommodate Griezmann. He should look better with Dest high up the pitch on the right and Mingueza/De Jong doing the conducting for him. Just sticking to dummies, shooting and creating space.

Needs to be sold next summer while we still can recuperate at least some value.

He is a better CF than Braithwaite and in todays set up many players would be better on that wing.. even Dest would have been let alone Demir.
