I am not sure are you on purpose being offtopic.
Try to google or learn on debates:
In the moment when a person starts personal insults, swearing, losing calmness, trying to go offtopic, making connections with other topics from the past (you were wrong in a XX topic, so that means that you are probably wrong again type of replies), in debating that usually means that you have nothing to say regarding this topic.
So, thanks, lol, you agree with me regarding Malcom then?
I'll give you another chance:
Write 5 virtues of Malcom which makes you think that he should play more and that EV is dumb in THIS case.
The sad thing then is that Willian plays for Chelsea for years, while, my personal estimation, if EV's and staff's estimation about Malcom is true, he will never get close to bigger clubs after Barca.
Further, Willian has 60+ caps for that same Brasil.
I was a first guy on Dembele's hate train after 2 matches for Barca.
I think that I have wrote after 2 matches that his IQ is questionable, his movement is strange for Barca and that he could be a weird fit.
Anyway, let's have some fun and write one negative premature estimation about Malcom.
From his style of play, I have a feeling that he could be a guy like Alexis.
A player who NEEDS to be a central figure of his team in order to be at his best.
So, when Alexis plays for Chile, he has freedom and everything revolves around him and he is a quite good player there.
When he comes to Barca, we will never let him to be our key man (since he is not good enough to be our key man), and then he struggles and can't show his best skills.
Malcom, what we can see from Bordeaux and Barca for now, plays well when he is a key player.
For example, he loves one-twos and be some kind of a winger-playmaker.
He will play a pass, move fast around a player, get into a new position, receive a pass, play a first touch pass again and move again into an empty space and then shoot on goal.
There is nothing wrong with that type of an action, but that is something which Messi is doing.
Where everyone needs to look at him and play 2-3-4 1-2s with him until he will shoot.
Now, let's go back to Bordeaux, that worked perfectly.
If a team is poor and if he is the main attacking star, this style of play will work good.
And it did.
But, when you come to Barca, where you have other big boys, a team won't be built around you and around your numerous 1-2s.
For now, I have a feeling that these 1-2s are his main strength.
And Longshots, of course.
Other than that, his pace is quite poor for a winger and his dribbling is nothing special.
One more thing, we all agree that EV likes 4 true CMs, and even CMs at wing position, due to a style of play of Cms.
So, when a CM plays as a winger (Coutinho, Rafinha, Roberto), they will play a possession game, and they will play less classical-winger dribbles, runs and similar.
So, I guess that we can agree that Rafinha or Coutinho as a winger is closer to EV's possession style than Dembele or Malcom as a winger.
But one more thing, if you look at Malcom's videos from Bordeaux and Barca, he doesn't play possession based football.
He plays those 1-2s all the time.
Now, 1-2s are not bad. But they are quite problematic for Barca's style of play, IF you use them EVERY single time.
So, when you remove emotions and EV's hate, imo, this is what we have currently:
1. Malcom is a good guy, but nowhere near as talented as Dembele (who is also not good enough for us it seems, due to IQ and being more suitable for counterattacking teams)
2. Malcom is quite slow for a classical winger. Look at his videos from Bordeaux, he is often caught by defenders even though he made a dribble and had 1-2 meters of advantage
3. for Barca's current style, he is too much of a 1-2 player and doesn't hold the ball long enough.
I know, I know, someone will reply: BBZ, you whined that Arthur holds the ball for too long, and now you whine that Malcom holds it too short.
Well, still, I hope you'll get a point.
Now, even if go back to Willian, he is way more closer to a possession based-winger playmaker and it is quite logical why EV wanted him.
Dembele is a classical speedy counterattacking winger.
And Malcom is a slower winger suited for a direct football with a lot of 1-2 and through balls.
So, at the end of the day, when you remove EV hate, imo, it is quite logical why EV is not playing him:
1. EV don't need wingers
2. and even if he needs wingers, he wants possession-playmaking wingers, players who are something like midfielder-wingers like Roberto, Rafinha, Coutinho. Malcom is not a possession style player who plays a slower type of football.
3. even if EV wants one winger, he will use Dembele then, and not Malcom. There is no way that EV will use two classical wingers at the same time.
4. I have a feeling that he is more suitable to teams where he will be the main attacking playmaker and a key player (in a smaller team). Riquelme had the same problem. He was a world class when he was a brain of a team. And not good enough in a star team like Barca where he can't be a key man. His style of play "needs" teammates to follow his moves/passes and look for him all the time.
now, feel free to look at his videos one more time and take a look at 2 things:
1. he is quite slow
2. he plays 1-2s and looking for a shot/through ball after that all the time. That is quite contrary to our style, especially when Messi is on a field and when everything revolves around him.
