Miralem Pjanic

[JamDav1982]

Good game, but let's see him vs a side who actually is dangerous on the counter-attack. Still, good that he can boss it vs weaker sides. It's something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

He will get caught out if it is a foot race it is inevitable but it is weighing that up in covering for him and how much better he makes team keep ball while doing something positive with it.

 

[Andresito]

Did good but wasn't really challenged by Valladolid. Has huge flaws which will be evident against better opponents.

 

[Horatio]

Arthur would have turned away from a lot of the passes Pjanic plays to Messi.

There is a huge difference in the two and how they play looking forward.

Yes I know.

 

[Raketa10]

He is far from a midfielder Barca needs or deserves but unfortunately it is what it is.

Need to see him more vs a better team. Don't know why he didn't play more so far. Busi is terrible.

 

[fergus90]

He had a good game, I think we all know his athleticism will let him down against better sides, but he's definitely useful against the smaller clubs.

He and Messi played similar away to Juve which was one of best games of season but against better sides his pace will be more of an issue clearly when teams breaking.

Better to rely on Busquet's athleticism.

Yeah, the absolute speed demon.

 

[Joan]

He's a skilled player with the ball. Should only improve as gets more comfortable with the team. Has enough experience to judge situations well. Not worried about it.

He'll be a huge liability when pressed, though. Plus, needs lots of covering.

 

[El Gato]

Honestly don't see a reason to play Busi over him, even at a pivot.

Pjanic>>>>>>Busi

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

DeJong, Pjanic and one physical monster would be good midfield. Not sure if Pedri is good enough defensively to cover for Pjanic.

I wouldn't sacrifice Pedri for Pjanic. As much as I liked his game yesterday, we should look for a better replacement for Pjanic.

 

[Devils]

Far better than that bum Arthur.
