Memphis Depay

[FinBarcelonafan]

I really wanna see how he plays with these new players.

He can create chances

He looked quite good with fati

True. I liked how he played with Fati. Looked pretty good. Start of the season he had no help. Playing with a sub level players of Barca.

 

[Zidane82]

He is too sluggish to play up front in this system .

Plus he does not press

 

[ajnotkeith]

Curious to see how well he'll do with the new attackers. He is in fact a good creator and can occupy defenders to bring others into the game, so could have a lot of presence in future formations if Ferran keeps underperforming.

Curious too, but he may have big flaws in playing quick one or two-touch football, which is what we are trying to do.

Xavi will get the best out of him no worries here

No. Barca's slow buildup really has hurt him. Just look how he thrives in that fast-transitioning Elftal football. Xaviball will do him well and he'll look better than he did before. He is rested now too.

He still managed to get 8 goals and 2 assists in a difficult situation. He is more of a goal threat than Ferran and therefore will add goals and assists to the team. Auba, Adama, Dembouz and Ferran are much better than what he had to work with before he got injured.

He managed to do those things, but I also remember the insanely high amount of turnovers and bad passes.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He plays very well for the Netherlands. They play quick ball. Shouldn't be an issue.

 

[JerseyAddict]

He is back. Probably will get some last minutes.

 

[JohnN]

I really wouldn't like to see Depay again. We have some rhythm building up with our frontline and he is too static.

 

[jamrock]

Does the little ones twos that Torres does expect he's actually skillful enough to also beat his man one on one and can score.

Was running back & pressing as well..

 

[fergus90]

Nice goal on his return. Pleased for him, he seems super likeable.

 

[giorgoXXI]

I think we'll see a different Depay now that he is playing in a functioning team. He is technically very good and has goals in him. Before we expected him to do everything on his own and he is not that kind of player.

 

[Catta]

He doesn't need to carry the attack all by himself anymore. With the midfield and forward line improved, I expect him to also play much better.

True, Xavi would have a hard time selecting the forwards.
