Franck Kessie

[malvolio]

I don't understand how Xavi can start Gavi over Kessie.
Why did we buy Kessie if he was going to ride the bench?
Was he promised a starter role?
Surely he didn't come here to be a squad player. Bar a Madrid or City I see him starting at any other club in the world.

LOL @Kessie starting for any club in the world. Get a grip son.

Gavi will start until his new contract is signed and sealed.

He looked pretty bad tonight, probably nervous or something...

 

[fergus90]

Honking debut it has to be said.

 

[feggydinho]

He doesn't really facilitate play as a midfielder. he's more interested in getting into goal-scoring chances than doing his main work as a midfielder, just his first game though but clearly not the level of midfielder we want starting here

 

[malvolio]

Told you this guy is no Barca material. All I've heard were excuses how he was playing friendlies and his mind set to leave Milan.

I mean, it is a bit of what Xavi demanded from our midfielders last year if we are being honest

one bad give away due to awareness.

one bad give away due to a quasi-injury. Just waited for the Ref or team mates to bail him out.

But the other midfielders we have still facilitate play from midfield, but he was just giving back passes most times in midfield, but it's his first official game so I'll wait and see his performance in other games

 

[fergus90]

I was surprised at how easily he was muscled off the ball. Lost it every time without much fight

 

[Barcilliant]

Well, pretty much every player looks shit under Xavi. He has zero idea how to coach.

 

[Horatio]

Why did we go after him again? I barely watched Juve with him playing. What made him so great there?

The most impressive thing about him for Juve was that he played for Milan.

lol sorry.

All the players coming from different leagues that not the EPL will need time to adapt.

The pace of la Liga is more than serie A.
And did lewa teams don't just roll over at the sight of a the letter B.

But they will both come good
