Memphis Depay

[Porque]

Enjoying his first minutes for Barcelona- just like Coutinho

Only a few minutes in a friendly game but i think he will be good at Barca.

Attitude usually is more important that skill assuming skill wise the player is not horrible. Memphis was bullied when he was young and his celebration is all about shutting all the negative noise and channeling his energy positively .. compare that to crying Alba for example. Of course Memphis can be good for Barca just like Braithwaite is despite his lack of talent purely based on attitude

Edit: like Adriano, Pedri, Cuenca, Tello, ... etc attitude really matters even if your skills are not that amazing

Was okay, however, he failed to fully utilize 2 of Griezmanns pass which should've put him clear on goal. We'll see how he goes

 

[Andresito]

A true WC player would've scored 2 excluding the pen. But he'll be useful for us. Still only first game.

 

[vegitot]

Only a friendly game so goals don't matter much. But i think he will be good.

 

[fergus90]

His willingness to make runs off the ball is a big plus. Overall thought he did okay.

 

[kattanib]

Wow at the comments of him doing ok. For a player to join us for free and for this to be his very first game with Barca he did exceptionally good. What are some of you guys hoping for? Signing a Ballon Dor candidate for free?

If there's one thing to make out.

The man is fucking jacked.

You don?t rate Pedri as being skilful. ??

In a club desperate to reduce wages, anyone arriving should add something.
The reason I never wanted him was not because he would be terrible necessarily.
Being the first game looked to be a positive for him, but let's see about that. He had some good actions and some terrible. Koeman likes his style, I don't, but Koeman picks the team so let's see what he can do in his 'system'.

He doesn't even seem to look up when he is through on the flank or half space, but just hoof it in towards the goal...

He also seemed to want to do some fancy flicks instead just finishing which pretty much could be due to the game being a friendly

Senior players take this game like an easy friendly. While youngsters take it seriously. Understandable.

 

[mc_lovin]

Really refreshing to see a forward who knows how to shield the ball for once.

 

[FCBarca]

Clear the player will add a lot to the attack, particularly if Ansu recovers well enough. Still find the player's antics cringeworthy, wish he would just get on with playing and save the theatrics for off the pitch

Nevertheless, as an attacker I think he will bring quite a bit
