Marc Bartra

[Trickykid]

I liked him tonight. It's clear that needs to settle down early in the game, but after a bit he looked really comfortable. Needs more minutes under his belt, that much is painstakingly obvious.

Is it me or he and Pique are starting to build to sort of understanding for each other tonight. Much much better than last week's game at Vigo.

I thought so to. Bartra himself looked a lot better, but the two of them together looked, as you say, much much better. Understandable, though, as last week's game was maybe even their first game together?

His positioning is good naturally but it's just getting more confidence in 1v1's that he lacks. Although he's getting better and better at it with each game.

Yeah, I don't know why mgmt. are so reluctant to use him. There appears to be a real distrust there for some reason.
As far as I'm aware, he has never looked out of his depth when selected.

I really hope he gets a run of games now, at least until the end of the season. Who knows, if it works out well, this could be the making of him at Barca for years to come.

It's only natural. You can't expect someone without any experience in La Liga to just come into a team like Barcelona and perform.
The more he plays the better he will play

He has a lot of natural talent. Just needs more games to get used to all the tricks and guile first division players bring to the table.

Excellent video. Bartra had a very good night keeping GdS quiet most of the time with brilliant blocks and interceptions. More to come from Bartra no doubt about that.

 

[Stric]

After watching that video, he seems even better than I remember. Great potential in that kid. I hope he plays much more this season, primarily if/when we seal the deal in LL.

We have pretty much sealed the the Liga. 13 points ahead with 8 rounds to go. Madrid would have to win all 8 and we would have to lose 5 for us to concede the title. We are not so pathetic to lose the league in this scenario with Bartra in the team. He should play all remaining matches to gauge his potential so that we can judge whether we need 1 or 2 CB's next season

 

[Irish_Cules]

I only saw the first half. It looks like he had a very good game overall. I'll be interested to see how he does against the better teams in La Liga. It's pretty hard to judge him against a team who is bottom of the table.

 

[Darko]

he just needs to play more and he can become a future starter,I strongly believe in this!

 

[spark]

Let this boy play. FFS its so obvious Adriano wouldnt finish the game. Messes up offside traps too. Bartra didnt win every header but he did enough to show he sould have started.

Kid needs to play more either with us or out on loan for a year
