Nico Gonzalez

[pregra]

Has absolutely nothing in his locker.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yeah. Don't see the potential. Maybe we can sell him to City for sixty million. Rodri Barca version(worse).

 

[Vladinho]

When you see Araujo coming in sprint from behind him to try and block Lemar's shoot, you know he's just lazy and has little drive to succeed. If only this masia kids would actually play like they type in their Instagram stories...

He had some very nice touches. I am not sure which role he was supposed to play yesterday, but if there's any chance of success for him he needs to sit in front of a back 4 as a lone DM. He lacks mobility for more advanced roles. I thought him and Busquets were clashing pretty bad against Atletico, they pushed each other far too wide into CM spaces, which fits neither.

He's still just a talent though, so no need to be too harsh.

Lets put the breaks on. Have him play in Barca B and feature in the first teams lower quality games. He was fine against Levante.

I am confident if he loses 10kg we would see a different player and he'd be a lot more useful.

I almost don't blame him for not being able to run, he's about 6'1-6'2 and 86kg. For a midfielder that is ridiculous. Reminds me of Rey Manaj when he first came to the B team, overweight and could barely run, dropped 10kg, looked like a different player.

What's the point of him having that mass? He doesn't win any headers or go into duels and he almost can't because he's too slow. Get him nearer 70kg, a lot faster and a lot more agile and his recovery will be better

*On Koeman's press comments that seemed to have made a lot of drama yesterday and today. As a coach it might be acceptable to make some mistakes and certainly when he's 19 years old but what's unacceptable is he got caught out of position and couldn't be bothered to run back, whilst Araujo who was behind him nearly caught up to Lemar himself.

He has the potential to be decent sub as a ball possession guy tbh, which isn't bad

 

[ajnotkeith]

Rumours have popped up again that City want him. Same thing was circulating a year ago

 

[vegitot]

Good half.

 

[te amo barca]

Only player who had a good game. Showed good dribbling, tackling, ball conduction, just quality all around. Would have had a great game if had scored his chance.

IMO he's far more polished than Gavi, who is still very raw.

 

[Andresito]

I'll just collect my W and leave thanks.

 

[JamDav1982]

Take a bow youngling.

Best player on park.

Couls easy had two assists and ran his heart out.

Get him in double pivot with FDJ and get Busquets to fuck.

And after another bad game you'll have an L... Or maybe you'll just be quiet.

He played good overall today, in a game that suited him pretty well. He is still a bit sloppy in his touch and a bit unsure positionally, and he lacks speed and agility, but here he was able to turn his marker sometimes and have a lot of space to run into, he made good use of these opportunities.

Exactly. Sounds like a stretch, but he really was the only one.

 

[JamDav1982]

Put Busquets to shame.

Busi and club deserve this embarrassing end to his time.
