Martin Montoya

[FCBarca]

Yeah, I agree with Flavia...He was the one I wondered about for this match and he's given advantage to a very inconsistent Muniain...I have to say, I'm underwhelmed by Montoya's performance so far

Borbalan, no surprises there

Maybe the just 3 or 4 crosses he made clouded my judgement

 

[Alarcón]

Not good at all.

Seems to lack everything. Technique,ball control, passing, confidence.

Good second half, nicely done!

 

[Irish_Cules]

I though he had a pretty good game. Nothing spectacular but solid.

I like Montoya but I do fear for his future at the club, especially in this system. Lucho is having the forwards play narrow so the offensive width is mainly provided by the full backs. He's not that bad going forward but he isn't great either. Perhaps he'll improve this aspect of the game as the season goes on but it looks like Dani is certain to be first choice this season. Or maybe the Dougmeister.

Looked like a solid game, nothing special.

Montoya is solid enough, but he's just not great. Plenty of low quality touches/decisions/plays today.

He was solid enough though and made himself available, but still doesn't show anywhere near enough to be a Barca starting RB.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Solid game overall.
Good in defense and showed nice runs in offense. Only thing that I thought was bad was his decision making in the final third. Some useless crosses and misplaced passes. But that are the things I expect someone to do wrong who did not play for a long time.

Ok, his second half was a bit better, but still: not impressive at all.

If he continues to play like this he'll never be a starter at Barca.

 

[DonAndres]

Very inconsistent performance. Some dumbass crosses and poor touches in attack, some good interceptions in defense. Overall couldn't rely on him to do the right thing when called upon but he wasn't too poor.

He did OK. Still pisses me off that 90% of his passes go either sideways or backwards. Very low risk in his game, he does the job, but not the man to improve the team in the last third. Good 2nd option for the RB spot.

 

[Alarcón]

He did OK. Still pisses me off that 90% of his passes go either sideways or backwards.

He's a right back, where else should his passes go?

 

[Semi-Neutral]

To the moon

 

[evilhita666]

I agree, he was alright for a player who hasn't played in almost a year...

 

[Zangash]

He wasn't phenomenal but just the fact that we didn't have to endure 20-30 crosses today is enough to satisfy me. He also got really close to getting a couple of assists, but it was always Pedro who got the ball and, well, it's Pedro.
