@Gokurengoku @XDcomps Injuries happen
You always need superior depth
Like PSG
Olmo is rubbish there
There is no similar replacement for Pedri, Silva was that
Silva would have allowed pedri to rest against the likes of elche, osasuna etc
Silva allows Lamine to rest as well
He easily starts 25 games

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@SocioSkY @XDcomps Agreed
But what happens if we have injuries again this year
It's a world cup year
Not much rest
No proper preseason
There is no like for like replacement for pedri in the squad
We could have rotated pedri next year
Silva is a better replacement than Roony for RW

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@wolusfcb They don't even play the same positions
We complained playing Olmo and Eric in the midfield pivot when the squad was injured
Ran Pedri to the ground so much so that he was visibly unfit for both the CDR and UCL KOs against ATM
A solid Pedri replacement who can play CAM and RW

@Atleti Perdonar, pero tanto vosotros como club y vuestro presidente, que en paz descanse, habéis pagado al vicepresidente de los árbitros del CTA 👇

@kevvwill Silva on a free is a good signing
I agree, a more physical profile is required but Silva can play in the midfield two
He can also play right wing
He also brings experience that we lost with Lewy
Also, a recent UCL winner
We have every reason to rotate next season

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@nautfcb Both of their stats would improve in our system
I would still prefer JP because of his box threat

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@kevvwill Cumulation of errors
Losing the ball from a throw in the final third
Cubarsi header went sideways
Martin failed to boot the ball
Araujo allowing Acerbi to get ahead of him
Once your man is ahead, all it takes is one touch

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@lewy_official Thank you for everything Robert!

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@kwesiboatengII @kevvwill If a good offer arrives
Don't mind him leaving
But then we'd have to buy two CBs

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@muhammadbutt It's not difficult to learn Spanish when you are fluent in Italian

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@kevvwill Frustrating
It's time he moves on
Having him for another year doesn't make sense
He'll be a year older

Overall, poor game
No shots on target
No big chances created
Not looking much into it since the boys celebrated the league on Monday

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@kevvwill Caught on the wrong side
Cubarsi should also be doing better by getting to the ball first
These aspects of the game will improve with experience

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@FabrizioRomano If Barca were twenty points ahead then Perez would have said that they had been robbed off 24 points
Also, he clearly doesn't watch football while sitting in the stands
It's Madrid who have benefitted from ref decisions
"Steal and Complain" starts from the top
What a club!

@TimurNegru Barcelona

Incredible. More than a club 💙❤️

@kevvwill We need better depth in key positions
So that we remain fresh in March, April and May

[Akshay Shanbhag @AkshayShanb]

@kevvwill Looks much sharper than he did last season
Happy to see him back and enjoying football
Losing him in Xavi's last season was a big loss
Definitely would have got more points in the league
