20 - Dani Olmo

[Horatio]

Hr has actually created many good balls.

indeed he did

 

[serghei]

He played pretty well and had some bright actions in tight spaces. Much better than the fiasco vs Leganes.

 

[ZenI]

Another so called world class player that barcaforum drooled over.

Not many drooled over him tbh, but he showed us some amazing football until his injury - fuck knows what's going on now... Did he play above his level for 2 months straight and now reverted back to his level, is he playing injured, what? But thing is, he's way of technically compared to most of our midfielders - in tight spaces he gets disposed, bullied of the ball and press him just a little and he sends the pass way fucking off.

 

[jamrock]

He hasn't been that bad even though he's off form, he's been finding passes and players aren't finishing.

 

[Joan]

It’s odd with him that you never know if he’s just partially fit or off form. Maybe it’s tummy ache again.

Is he, though?

Olmo is a 10 who is risk taker, those types will lose the ball more than others, but they will create chances.
He created 1 vs 1 to Pedri, had the pass to Pedri that allowed him to give Raphinha the other 1 vs 1, he himself created a chance he finished just off target. All against one of the best defenses in the world in 26 minutes.

It is like a scoring no9, if he scores it is all good, if he isn't then he is awful.

 

[Windhook]

Players score and miss. Olmo advances the game and he is a risk taker, we need more of them.

 

[serghei]

I don't think he is losing the ball often in deeper positions. In the last third he is supposed to attempt to make a difference and he did that vs Atletico. Pedri and him were our most creative players.

Think it would be a reasonable to try him as false 9. Starting there he could exchange spots with Raphinha for example which would also bring us various options.

Yeah, but you have to bench Lewa in the process.

Could work well in theory. Big risk to try it though. Gets Lewy out of the team too which is a big bonus.

 

[BJJ]

No fucking way. He doesn't have the personality to be one. I hope I'm wrong though. No way Flick plays with a false 9 though. I'd be really surprised.

 

[Masetro10]

You can't put an AM at false 9 and expect him to do anything. It took Mbappe half the season to figure out how to be a 9

Time for Olmo to get his form back, we need this Goalmo:
