2 - Pau Cubarsí

[Jakabor]

Disaster today.

Very disappointed he doesn’t stand out more at the freaking olympics.

 

[Porque]

He was excellent for the initial run of 10 games and then average to poor for the rest.

Next season we will learn which of the two is his true level.

 

[M3ls]

I already said that he is overrated. In terms of skills, he only has a good pass.

 

[Porque]

Either way, it is suicide to play a Eric Garcia-Cubarsi partnership. Cubarsi showed his best versions when the team was peaking, but as a partnership itself, with Faye in the B and Araujo in the A- both pacy CBs.

 

[jamrock]

Yep, can't play two slow CBs together, he needs a pacey CB beside him

 

[BJJ]

He should be a back up player. People got on the hype train too early with Cubarsi. Faye has a higher ceiling.

 

[Messigician]

Folk crying about Faye being so much better...

Usuals.

Hmmmm

 

[Messi983]

Lol, give him a break. It was his first game in frickin Olympics, was probably just nervous.

Also, playing alongside Eric will make everyone look worse.

Still waiting for you to tell us what skills Ferran has.

 

[draconifire]

Its was his first game in a while. Give him a run of games and then see.
1 game doesn't say anything, he did well for a number of games he played for us. Let's see how he does in the upcoming games

I was thinking… Cubarsí was born on January 22, 2007 and the 2006 Champions League final against Arsenal was played on May 17. Doing the math, around those dates, would be when Cubarsí… well, would start to form in his mother’s womb.

It's possible. I remember this story.

Well, but Iniesta’s baby boom was in 2009, not in 2006. In 2009, Cubarsí was already 2 years old.

 

[Porque]

It's an example. Same may have happened with Cubarsi as you suggested.

 

[Masetro10]

Cubarsi and Faye better be the thought process for 2 yrs from now.

Both will give us the correct CB roles we need. A left footer and the other right. One ball playing the other with the speed and strength sort of like Araujo.

Araujo needs to be looked at with his injuries do we just cash in on his reputation? Plus he is absolutely 0 IQ player.
