Most analysis falls short when looking at attacking players.
Neither the data or 'eye test' really give us the full picture of their value. But why? 👇📺

- I can’t analyse Barcelona anymore. They just play football.
- De Jong - Pedri is a generational partnership. Blessed to be watching them.
- Those few months where Pep was playing 3-4-3 with Fabregas and Messi together as false 9s was the most ridiculous period of football I’ve ever seen.Messi was really doing all of this while scoring 91 goals in a year. 😭😭😭
00:00 - Never truly believed Casadó would cement a place in this team. I owe him an apology.
- What I really like about this team is that it isn’t just a machine. Yamal is having fun out there. Pedri is expressing himself. It’s great.
- De Jong casually being an outrageous cheat code for 45 minutes.
- Rashford just wants to make things happen. All the time. Never follows the template of what a winger 'should' do. I'm really enjoying this performance.
- Brings me to tears man. This is fútbol.
- A lot of kids are going to fall in love with football because of Lamine Yamal.
- No amount of running can deal with this level of quality and synergy. Invest in footballers.De Jong - Pedri is a generational partnership. Blessed to be watching them.
- There are actually two Dembele’s. Identical twins who draw straws before every game to decide who plays.
- I will actually never stop talking about Pedri. He’s so so special. In almost every single touch, gesture, decision. One of very few players I’m tuning in just to watch. Joke of a footballer.
