Memphis Depay

His game is full of flaws and I have already mentioned that I am very annoyed by his decision making.
BUT Depay is creating clear cut chances every game. He created Dest's chance in Clasico, he created Dest's chance today and he won the penalty which he obviously should have scored. Also creating many good chances through set pieces all season where his targets should have scored a couple.

What I am saying is that Depay is the best option we have right now. He will not give you constant 90 min performances with the right decisions throughout the game, few technical mistakes etc. but at the moment he is the only one being able to create clear cut goal scoring opportunities in every game.

Agreed.

Maybe he'll fluorish a bit under Xavi.
I think Xavi will isolate him on one flank, give him the "Henry-treatment" of Pep. It is a player who needs that isolation, making his flaws influence the overall game very little, but making use of his good strike of the ball and unconventional ideas sometimes in the final third.

He has no sense of goal. We need a guy that'll give 20-30 goals a season and be the difference in games like today, which Messi would have won. We lost nearly 50 league goals with departure of Griezmann and Leo, nothing was brought to replace that, so games that usually 3 points like Granada, Cadiz or Rayo can be draws or even losses.

Absolutely correct.

Depay is a great player to build around for a tier 2 team who havw a good striker for him to play, or a good secondary attacking option in a tier 1 team.

At the moment we are neither, which is exasparating his flaws and no one to benefit from his benefits.

Lets hope a new breath of life with a more current coach like Xavi, and Aguero and Fati can stay fit.

Like him or not our offense would be totally nothing without him. Very critical signing.

I hope that Xavi will notice very quick his non qualities and bench him forever. He is too massive, slow, poor control and prone to loose the ball easy. A good coach will see this very easy and could be a good guy for B team or sell him in January till people will realize how bad he is. More we keep him, lower price will get on him. Has no qualities for even a Barca bench.

I fully believe that is time to clean our yard and get rid off deadwood. Players like Depay, Luuk de yong, Umtiti, Braithwite, Coutinho to mention just few, should leave Barca ASAP. I hope Xavi will do this when he will join. We really need good staff to work with.
