Konrad de la Fuente

[Andresito]

He ended that RB's career

Bare pace on this man

 

[Porque]

I know he is not as pacy. But for the first time, the way he took on his man reminded me of Overmars. Nice little throwback there (not so much for us, but for those who watched his Arsenal days).

Lenglet did well feeding him.

One of few Barca players that try to move ball to open attackers as soon as can.

Should seriously consider getting Konrad some LaLiga football. If Kubo can play at relegation fodder last season then so can Konrad.

You meant loaning him or giving him first team minutes here?

 

[Porque]

Loan him. I think he has shown enough to get a lower team to bite. They will have marketing potential out of the deal as well.

 

[Andresito]

He was actually mostly a Juvenil A player last season. Only participated in 3 league games with Barca B, and the 3 playoff games.

He's going to be key for Barca B, but maybe it's better for him personally to play for a Liga side.

I wonder if he will get any time at LW with Ansu out.... might as well see what we’ve got in him?

He should get at least a couple of sub appearances if anything. He's a natural LW with pace.

I'm sure he will. Koeman is said to be a fan of him and watched him already twice at the B-team. Also praised him in pre-season.
Pedri and Coutinho (not a fan of that position) could play on the left instead of Ansu, but Konrad is a natural LW. Dembele looks better on the right wing, Trincao is a right winger too...

We'll see what Koeman plans once Coutinho is back from injury. Looks like he is already back in training. He was the starting 10 before injury, but now Griezmann and Messi occupy the central roles.

 

[Katarina1]

he looks out of his depth on USMNT so far

 

[Neeraj]

Never understood why he's even in the fringes of this team. He's always seemed terrible to me.

 

[Messi983]

He's 19, made his NT debut surrounded by a bunch of other inexperienced youngsters (Musah and Reyna playing alongside him upfront also made their NT debuts but they at least have more club experience playing for Valencia and Dortmund more or less regularly already), what do people expect him to do?

Here is their lineup from last night:

Zach Steffen (age 25;17 caps - before the game against Wales)
Sergino Dest (20;3)
Matt Miazga (25;18)
John Brooks (27;38)
Antonee Robinson (23;7)
Weston McKennie (22;19)
Sebastian Lletget (28;14)
Tyler Adams (21;10)
Yunus Musah (17;0)
Giovanni Reyna (18; 0)
Konrad de la Fuente (19;0)

avg. age: 22,27 years
avg. NT experience: 11,45 caps (and Brooks is keeping the average up otherwise it would be less than 9 caps/player)

So yeah, let's blame Konrad for not exactly setting the world on fire, lol.
