Ilaix Moriba

[Rory]

Probably because he doesn't look as tricky as other barca greats/current players. Look at how he performs overall and then realise it's daft to suggest he doesn't deserve minutes over Puig.

 

[Tackle]

Just turned 18 two months ago and is the perfect profile for what we are missing. He is the La Masia midfield prodigy, not Puig.

Great the way he got stuck in.

Took one chance on sideline to crunch into one of their players.

 

[Bobo32]

More assists than Puig

On a serious note, good match. Some amazing tackles and ball retentions.

Is he already on more minutes in the league as well?

 

[Porque]

MOTM.

Moriba of the Match.

Man of the Moriba.

I can't decide which. Maybe both?

Not yet, but will soon. Most likely.

By the sounds of it there are quite a few midfielders on the cusp of breaking through. Nice situation to be in.

Must be tiring being a Real Madrid fan. You see the end of Barcelona's great era just to see half a dozen new young players who look ready to do it all again come through.

You fishing for some angle to moan?

 

[Horatio]

Great game by him.

Looks like it. The "assist" today was brought up as a joke I hope, the others were nothing special either IIRC? The goal was obviously nice.

I am still not so impressed by him, and this has nothing to do with Puig I seem to need to point out. But I'm fine with him getting the minutes he does, much better than having Pjanic play.

In reality it has everything to do with Puig.

 

[Porque]

It wasn't a difficult match to come into by any means. But what he is doing is consistently entering games as a sub and slotting right in, making tackles, completing correct passes and notching up a goal and assists. What more could you ask for in an 18 year old.

Very good performance and deserving of the minutes he is getting.

 

[JamDav1982]

FDJ, Iliax, Pedri all absolute workorses defensively an steal so many balls.

Team been missing anything close to that for years now.
