Barça - Alavés. King's Cup

Tello was horrible tonight. Gerard is a future GOAT.

Tello better on the left, im convinced of that.

Nice return for Thiagod...dem through balls.

I never really liked Tello's performances when he starts he always seems amazing as a sub though.
JDS doesn't have much of a future in Barcelona being next to Thiagoat sadly
Both of them provided many great through balls and passes
Being Mexican I am glad Barcelona helped JDS become more of a playmaker, will help the national team in the future quiet well.
Villa should start taking free kicks from the left side more often, at least share it with Xavi; he always shows threat in placed shots

I missed the games. Can someone tell me where i can find the highlights. THe youtube is full of fake videos

I never thought I would see a bigger one trick pony than Walcott...

...and then I watched Tello.

IMO nothing wrong with a one trick pony as long as it works.

Tello is clearly better on the left, however.

Tello Villa Deulofeu

That would have a much better front lineup

Average game in general..
Congrats for Villa scoring his 300th career goals (clubs+country).. Great freekick ntw..
Deulofeu was lost when he 1st entered, than show some great skills and plays in the last 10 minutes... He's still 18 and his biggest problem is decision making (when to dribble and when to pass etc).. This season he improved his finishing and started scoring goals, good ones too (already 8 this season) with couple of assists..

He just needs time..
After World Cup 2014, I think he'll be ready to play for the 1st team...
2014/15 !

Sadly we might have Neymar by that time and he'll have much more competition Pedro/Sanchez/Cuenca/Tello lol

Thanks man!

I also think that Villa should take more FK.

BTW if Adriano were not so injury prone, he would have been rated even higher. The way he plays this year...
Jack of all trades, but in FB position he is becoming a boss.

Yeah, Im convinced (the game didnt bring me to that opinion) that Adriano is the best leftback we got and so far, has been our best fullback this season when he has been healthy.

Forgot to say on here last night, didnt like Sergi Roberto as some kind of false 9, barely got involved and didnt seem to know where to move. It was not by luck that Thiago and JDS ended up playing the final passes, Sergi was not in the positions to do so.

Much better player if he is a late coming midfielder, ala Keita.

I doubt Alexis is gonna last that long. And either Tello or Cuenca will be loaned depending on how they progress. Gerard should be just fine fitting in.

Thiago played false 9 I think and Roberto CM.Thiago first played false 9,then when Deulofeu came on,he dropped into CM(in place of JDS who was subbed out) and finally when Song dropped back to CB,Thiago played DM
Although by the time he played DM,was very tired.
Still I liked Thiago at false 9.He can drop deep,has the ability to run with the ball forward and can pick out the final pass.

Well if Thiago played false 9, I dont know what Sergi was doing because he was often prettty far forward.
