Miralem Pjanic

[FC B]

Made a few mistakes that could cost the team still I was quite suprised with his game and hope RK will field him over Busquets from now on.

What impressed me the most was his quick passing. He passes the ball way quicker than DeJong and Busi
It helps our game to flow better. The game looked way more fluid with him. Nice nice.

Pjanic was one of the best midfielders in world football a couple years ago. First half granted he was pretty shit with some dodgy giveaways but full credit to him for the second half as he put in a very good performance. Like many said he distributes the ball quicker. De Jong-Busi are too sterile as a partnership.

Should be one or the other with Pjanic.

 

[Neeraj]

Of course, we haven't gotten the best version of him, he has definitely declined a bit, but his quick passing is useful. That also leads to some giveaways, but it's a risk we have to take, because otherwise our game is too sterile. Also, he's barely played this season, with more game time I'm sure he will be able to increase his level by a bit, if not a lot. In the medium term, he can be a decent midfielder and a good option to have, just don't expect a world beater at this stage I guess.

He ran 3-4KM more then a usually Busquets game. Let that sink in

Exactly. He's much more of a Xavi type player, always jogging to fill in the gaps in space to provide an outlet and a quick pass. This helps defensively as well. No, he's not going to beat a pacy player on a fast break but he will make it much harder for breaks to start.

Next thing you know, he will be out there, measuring grass length/height.
When he does that, you will know that he truly has Barca-DNA.

U forgot the watering of the pitch. And yes I agree with xavi. Fans invest time and money to see the technicality of The game to be entertained.. So making the grass long or dry or upright a potatoe field(chealsea 2005 vs us) should be obsolete by now..

 

[messi2140]

Should be a starter. I don't care how many passes he misplaces or how slow he is when the opponent is on the break. The guy is on another level compared to Busi and Fdj.

Better than busquets yes
Good for Barcelona nooooo

pretty much this. rotation role would have been fine for him. unfortunately starters aren't better.

 

[evilhita666]

While comparing him to Busquets is not a measuring stick, I much rather have him playing that the old lanky bastard...

 

[raedkuwait]

At least he can shoot
