Gerard Deulofeu

Don't worry mate, Paulinho is coming and he'll finally bring some tackles to this team!

Nah but on a serious note this loss will probably make the board panic and spend whatever they have to on Dembele and/or Coutinho to ensure one or both of them ends up here. The pressure is especially on with the vote of no confidence coming.

I want to believe it but if anything this Paulinho signing is a huge "we don't care what sócios and fans think", so I am afraid of them doing nothing at all.

What a shocking performance, he did everything wrong. Denis came in, did the basics and was a massive upgrade.

Except giving the ball away which lead to a goal.

He had obviously got into his head his job was to do no more than pass back, or try a short pass to Messi/Suarez. Even when the goal was beckoning he decided to try a pass to Messi who then missed the chance. It was also clearly obviously neither Iniesta or Suarez wanted to pass him the ball and he didn't link as well with Messi as the last game. Not blaming them since you could see the gulf in class but must not have been good for his confidence.

In fairness a classico wasn't exactly an ideal game to make his debut. I hope he takes the positives and the negatives make him stronger mentally. The biggest weakness Deulofeu has is his confidence so it will be interesting to see how he recovers from this.

This guy is known for his confidence, dribbling and selfish ball hogging. What we saw last game it wasn't Deulofeu, he played like a pussy.
Maybe all these rumors about Dembele have gotten into him.
I'm not saying he is a starter material, but for sure he is not that bad.

Maybe when he's in a settings he knows or thinks he is better than the other players however when he doubts that he can be awful. It was the reason he was so streaky for Everton.

Hes not Barca starting quality but you are right he's not that bad. I think the media, occasion, playing in a that team etc just got to him and honestly is anyone surprised. I don't care who you are that would make anyone nervous. Even more so if you didn't have the trust of your teammates.

He lost the trust of the best player in the World early on and it shattered his confidence. When Iniesta, Suarez and Messi refuse to pass to you when you are the best option positionally then it is game over. Better players like Alexis struggled with this.

On the other hand I recall when the B team had their excellent season it was Denis on the left and Deulofeu on the right.

He has roational chances. It is easier to cut in with the way Barcelona players. But I think Denis will find it easier to mesh in from the left.

Denis came the season Deulofeu left for Everton.

Your right. My mind has gone to mesh. There were seasons Denis was great on the left and Gerry the right. I thought it was the same one but obviously

But in the Barcelona way Deulo will find it easier when he can cut in on the right while Denis the same on the left. Of course I don't think either will be good enough in the 11.

Perhaps it was Nolito on the left or someone. But in the Barcelona way Deulo will find it easier when he can cut in on the right while Denis the same on the left. Of course I don't think either will be good enough in the 11.

Not Nolito either, but yeah. Denis was at his best as LW for Barca B.

Too bad he's not a starting material for Barca either as he's absolutely no goalscoring threat and easily pushed off the ball. You know when Iniesta played at the LW? He's like a diet coke version of it.

Perhaps you're thinking of Rafinha or Luis Alberto?
