Gerard Deulofeu

[Valdivia]

His eagerness to show his talents can be seen as selfishness sometimes. Can be a good thing for us as he doesn't seem intimidated by the other big boys.

One exceptional dribble post Leo's injury. Shame the shot was not on target. But a magnificent dribble, change of pace and desire

He needs to work a lot on his finishing.

Apparently having been a pichichi for most part of the season in Liga Adelante is not enough (currently fourth).

WE NEED INSTANT RESULTS!!!!

I just said that he needs to work on his finishing, because it's not good enough, as we clearly saw yesterday.

To be fair to Deulofeu, his finishing is rather good already for an eighteen year-old.

The fact that he doesn't score with the first team the way he does for Barça B (in his first season, coming from Juvenil A) is down to a number of factors including the need to impress, the pressure of playing against Benfica's 1st team and the level of intensity of a CL game.

I think he'll improve even further the more games he'll get under his belt in Liga Adelante.

The criticism is harsh, the more exposure he gets with the first team will greatly benefit his development.

Sometimes I forget how young he is. I keep thinking he's 20 or 21.

He needs to bang those in from 30 meters 100% of the time.

When do you guys think he will play again with the first team? Perhaps in the Copa del rey against Cordoba?

 

[barca7788]

so then cristiano and messi on the same team next year.lol

 

[ivan22]

Lively again when he came on. I think he'll be a full 1st team squad member by the end of the season.

no way, that won't happen. I read an article saying that they (barca) won't make the 'Bojan-mistake' again. So I'm pretty sure he continues to get very few minutes this season (like he did until now). So I can't see him being a 1st team member. End of next season maybe, but that also depends on injuries and transfers.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

While I don't think he will be a full first teamer by the end of the season; he should definitely get a decent amount of appearances off the bench. Maybe if league is won with a few matches to spare, he could even play a full 90 minutes with some of the first team players. Who knows. Maybe if there are injuries(hopefully not) he could play an important role this year. I think next year will be his breakout year, though.

Oscar Garcia (ex-youth coach Barcelona): "I have never seen a player dribble past opponents as easily as Deulofeu." [la xarxa]

Oscar knows his stuff. Deulofeu >>>>> Messi.

 

[alex88bg]

I have seen messi videos when he was years younger and dribbling better than him,i think its just to put hishype up...Brilliant young prospect tho,but nowhere near messi...
