Dumbele.. In some situations I wonder if he ever uses his brain!
Barca's speediest dribbler makes bad decisions.
Barca's better decision makers too slow or can not dribble as well to be in a position to make decisions.
Forever the chase for the next Messi.
He makes bad decisions but we don't use his pace for our good often. He made many runs and obviously has pace to burn, but we weren't utilizing his pace frequently when he was on the lw. Can only remember 2 passes for him to chase on the lw (the one intercepted from Busquet, and the other one where he could've squared it to Fati, throwing more passes for him would've been another means to create more chances).
can't use pace that often when the other team is parking the bus.
at the end, when the game opened and both teams were tired, there was space to run into. that's why FDJ looked like in that bernabeu performance when he ridiculed modric.
He has the tools to be a great player (Vinicius level), but he needs a lot of coaching and guidance. Xavi isn't doing enough imo. He needs to improve a lot mentally to overcome his weakness (decision making)
Five years later and we're essentially at the same place.
His crosses stop working whenever we meet a good team. He cannot dribble for shit and if he manages to squeeze out a dribble or get past someone his decision making is horrible.
He's essentially a minnow basher yet some people want to crown him as the best winger in the world or among the best.
