Maybe more B team minutes for Riqui Puig?

It is apparent that Aleñá and Oriol are his most preferred youth players.

I don't even consider Rivera a DM.

He doesn't possess anything that points to that. He's just a CM in the vein of Gumbau and that's it.

I miss Oriol Busi.
We are basically playing without midfielders.
5 defenders + Gumbau 2.0 + 3 useless forwards who aren't doing anything + Aleñá too lazy without ball

Rivera is terrible, his offensive game is nonexisting, giving away too many passes... don't understand what he's doing on the pitch

Hongla is a useful player, though one can tell he's a defender
Alenya's been awufl

Alena's decision making has been suspectful lately and his finishing is also pretty poor. People will probably blame Gerard but he needs to improve a lot if he wants to have regular first team minutes next season.

I think Rivera was good. Hongla struggled at first but once he adapted was solid as well. I also like Costas-Cuenca CB partnership.

Palencia had a disappointing performance again imo.
Both Cucu and Miranda don't seem to have top footballing intelligence as well.
I have been watching them for years now and they often don't seem to know which player they have to mark during the counter-attack and set-piece. Up till now, all three have been compensating these problems by being a hardworker on the field but it won't obviously work as they go to the upper level. Must improve a lot to survive here but unfortunately they will have to wait until they are promoted since López is completely incapable of improving his players defensively.
