He is very frustrating. I hope he will learn to minimize his easy mistakes over the course of the season.
What I really like are his set pieces. We need better finishing from the targets he is constantly finding.

He's in bad form. Played nearly 1000 mins and only found 2 NPG. He's not being utilised fully and is playing pretty bad as well with a lot of waste.

Needs to step up the real-terms production i.e goals and assists. Although as mentioned above his set-pieces are nice, got an assist vs La Real with a corner as well for Pique.

He was atrocious.

Touch and decision making poor as has been in most games this season but no threat at all in and around the box.

He will be lucky if at Barca after next summer at this rate. Assuming Barca can bring players in. Take the money would get for him.

He is a victim of all of our injuries up front. He looks tired and has to play all of the games. Both for Barca and the national team.

The positive: Even if he is not at his best and doesn't get at the scoring/shooting end of balls atm, he is still creating chances. He set up two goal-scoring opportunities for Luuk and another one for Frenkie, who decided to play the impossible pass to Ansu instead of finishing it. Could have way more assists already.

If you look at his stats then he has quite good number of key passes. Though most come from corner and set piece.

Still Barca best attacker now.

They have to cheer for someone �� I get your point though!

How about chanting for Barca? No player in the current squad deserves their name chanted in that way right now. I guess they are desperate for the superstar void after Messi is gone, but we have no superstars in the team right now.

Teams chant every players name brah including role players

Only GOATs dont have their name chanted.

He makes some stuff happen, true, but his turnover ratio is way way too high. It's pretty simple. He doesn't do enough to make us accept the amount of times he stops an attack with some bad play or bad touch.

Also, I see many extremes with him.

Let me do a BBZ and say that top-class creative forwards have like 20% awesome plays, 50% nice plays, 30% turnovers.

Depay has like 15% awesome plays (so pretty damn close to a class forward here), but only 20% nice plays, and over 60% turnovers. I don't have the exact numbers, but that's how it looks.

He tries too hard to do the difficult flamboyant stuff that he doesn't do nearly enough of the more normal good stuff and overblows his turnover ratio to more than tolerable levels.

Very embarrassing to do that fake pass on the corner as well. Either you get it or you don't, but its just looks so extremely cheap, especially in that situation. He has a very punchable face, and his behaviour doesn't do anything to change that.
