How the fuck did you figure our midfield was the problem in terms of creating chances?
2011 season:
Key passes per game:
2,5 Xavi
2,0 Messi
1,9 Dani Alves
1,6 Iniesta
1,1 Pedro
1,0 Villa
0,3 Abidal
0,8 Busi
Since Pep's days are a holly grail on this forum, let's check those days.
Our main creators in terms of key passes were: Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Alves.
Today: we don't have Alves, we have a braindead Semedo.
That means even less attacking options.
Besides Messi and Alves, our main creators back then were Xavi and Iniesta, aka Frenkie-Arthur today.
Now, since we don't have Alves anymore, the burden is even bigger on Frenkie's and Arthur's shoulders.
Since none of them is a natural creator, who is supposed to create chances?
And then you get matches (3 times this season out of 5 matches) where we can't create more than 2 chances per match.
What a surprise.
I am shocked
You guys will reply: there is no movement in attack.
Lol, there won't be movement for 4-5 years.
Messi won't move. Suarez won't move. Griezmman is not a no9. Dumbele is dumb.
So:
1. EV is bad
2. we won't have too much movement in attack
3. that means that midfielders won't be able to pass the ball to anyone, as seen today
4. Semedo surely won't help with his RB play
Then we go back to=this team is shit and all we have is Messi, 2 midfielders and a GK.
We will need 3-5 years of heavy rebuilding to bring back the balance into our team.
