Its simple, he thrives on open space and when you’re playing for Barca then you dont play alot of open games because most of the opponents park the bus and try to limit the space.
You give him space and the ball and tell him to run at the defense, he’ll make stuff happen.
You give him the ball in a still position and ask him to play like Messi or somewhat like Neymar (defense splitting pass or dribbling against one or two players), and he will look stupid.
His speed is his biggest advantage and when you can’t use that then hes useless bar a nice fake shot. With that being said, I would love for him to make it here so we’re not forced to deal with Neymar.
He does possess some rather fundamental flaws in his game but the lovely coach of ours isn't doing him any favours. Not a single player has progressed under Valverde.
He is a poorer version of Pedro.
the last possible excuse on earth.. X player needs a genius-super duper-all loving-master mind manager before we can criticize him. so going by this creterion. All of our players who won the liga and contributed under the tatas and the titos and what not actually would have had the excuse of playing bad. thank fuck they didnt think of this lame ass excuse and actually had the balls to perform and win trophies under shit managers.
to say players need great managers to improve and overperform is one thing. To use this excuse for shit playets is a whole another level of delusion and self denial.
