he was a bit disappointing... couldn't hold the ball more than 5 seconds and lost it a few times.
but, he is young and only 18? i'm not sure promoting him next season would be good but we'll see how it works out. i just hope it's not another case like bojan

Definitely...I know he's better than what we saw today...Careless at times and poor touch at other times yet still notched a goal and had a nice little run & shot ala 'dinho
He'll be 20 in April
If he was playing a bit deeper he would have had more opportunity to show his stuff. But then he probably wouldn't have been in position to score that wonderful header.
Patience is the key. Some of you weren't long following Barca during the time Xavi was supposed to be offloaded. Whata disaster that would have been.

Bojan, the problem is that with the emergence of Messi - a new, yet somewhat misleading, standard was set for La Masia graduates. Furthermore, it seems that people automatically think that every La Masia prospect is a nearly complete package of everything, having the possibility to succeed from the get-go.
Most seem to forget that it took ages for the players like Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta to establish themselves to the position they are now in. During the wretched Gaspart era, they were even thinking of selling Puyi, which is an absurd thought to many at the moment.
I don't know whether it's the fact that people are less patient than ever these days, especially when it comes to football where immediate results seem to be all tha fans care for. I'm not saying they do not matter, as they really do, but it more or less is about the manner in how those results are achieved than the goal itself.
I'd rather have our younger players groomed and nurtured properly and little-by-little to see what comes out of them than rushing them into the first team. Look what happened with Bojan. Once again, not saying this will happen to Thiago, but people expect of him a wee bit too much for now.

Yeah, Puyol was also one of those. And Valdes as well if we are to start making a list.
I believe that achievements Barca experienced during Pep's reign have spoiled some of us and attracted some new fans looking for instant success.
Barca never had such a brilliant period in their history and we all often take it for granted. And as you say, Messi has set the bar so high that I don't think anyone will be able to top it. We are talking about the best player in football history here!
