Gerard Deulofeu

[Horatio]

Even Messi messes up a lot of passes and dribbles.

Actually, Messi messes up very few passes. Dribble fail rate is higher obviously.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Players, who take risks mess up dribbles and passes constantly. Obviously, people, who are used to watch Messi day in day out think that his standard is some kind of benchmark. That's ridiculous and a sign of very young/stupid fans. Delufeu is certainly miles ahead of Rafinha and Turan in almost every aspect that a good Barca winger should strive in and that's important for his evaluation as Barca player. He has the same weakness that (old) Suarez has in that he sometimes makes clumsy unforced errors, but it would still rate him higher than even Denis Suarez, who hardly makes things happen. Decision making and too many unforced mistakes is a bad weakness, but on the other hand he can make some very sharp moves/passes than i rarely see from any of our other attacking players sans Messi and Iniesta. Fact that he wants to go forward and is somewhat selfish is actually good for this team, because we have too many ''Messi lackeys'' as it is and Delu actually is too keen to serve Messi too. If anything, he should be more courageous overall. Then again, even Neymar wanted to lick Messi's balls too many times, when it wasn't needed. Blessing and curse playing alongside the best football player ever.

Deulofeu is being over-rated on here. He messes up so many passes and puts in useles crosses. Also, the only way he beats his man is with his pace anyways. He has poor decision making as well.

He'll be looking at 10-20 mins here and there now that Dembele has arrived.

Nobody wants him to be a first choice starter though do they? He's a better squad option than the likes of Arda, Paco and Tello.

What is it that I read, he snubbed Dembele? Mind you it was just a title somewhere, could be bs.

Where? When? Source?

Was just a title I saw but it was dailyfail or something so didn't click.

I seriously hope EV responds well to good effort, even if that means the 14M player plays ahead of the 140M

The 140M player is 20yo and needs playing time to fully show what he is really made of or not.

 

[Barcaman]

Call me crazy but I like how Deulofeu impacts the team. Always makes something happen.

 

[evilhita666]

Lively as usual... He needs to improve on end product, but overall he had a good game, I think...

 

[unknowngenius10]

Our best player upfront today.

Not afraid to take on players.

Not afraid to make mistakes.

Constantly wearing down defenders by his one on ones, even if he fails to dribble past defenders many times.


Happy for him!

Same .. his strength is speed which is something we last saw in Pedro

 

[clemente]

I like his energy but I know nothing will happen, he will either hold the ball too long, or will fail a pass, maybe he will improve.

Atleast he trys

Not afraid to make mistakes.

At least this part is correct, lmao. Deulofeu is a one-trick pony with no imagination and a turnover machine. People can go on about "Nerman 46 ball losses" or "Di Maria crosses" rightfully, but if they turn around after that to ever say that Deulofeu is good or useful then they are major hypocrites. Simply attempting 1 action 50000 times until it might work (and it really didn't today) isn't a solution. It isn't 'perseverance' or any of that BS. It's just dumb football.
