He’s going to be a massive asset

I'm guessing something like this
Whoooooooooooooooooo Ansu Fati's magic, he wears a magic hat, He could have signed for Tottenham, but said no f*ck that, He passes with his left foot he passes with his right and when we win the Eurpoa league, we're sing this song all night ~Whooooooooooo Ansu Fati's magic, he wears a magic hat, He could have signed for Tottenham, but said no f*ck that, He passes with his left foot he passes with his right and when we win the Eurpoa league, we're sing this song all night - Whoooooo

Was trying to place that role that Welbeck plays - it’s actually a very difficult thing for a striker/winger to get used to, Welbeck and Ferguson are both exceptional at it.
I felt Fati’s positioning today was a large part of the issues we had in attack, because there seemed to be absolutely acres between our front players and defenders, they nullified our balls through the middle.

He didn't look like he understood his role and it massively disrupted our attacking play. Not sure that is his fault. Technically very good but I think we can get the idea of Messi 2.0 put if our heads. As I said when we signed him, he should be seen as a Enciso replacement. Anything else is a bonus.

Yep thought he was poor this eve. Very surprised to see Pedro come off. Huge gap between defence and attack, neither Pedro or Fati would come short. JPVH looked lost without Dunk, please not Milner instead of Veltman. That being said, still enjoyed it. Even getting fecking soaked on the way home.

Let’s be honest Fati was crap.

This stood out a mile. He seemed to just drift about. He needs time to learn the De Zerbi system.
He was awful, as were some other players. A passenger.

I wonder if he was the one drafted in at short notice for EF - if, indeed, EF was due to start?

He wasn’t good tonight, but not going to get on his back. He just didn’t look sure of where to be & what runs to make, which will come in time. Got to learn our style of play.

The issue was playing him and Pedro together. They both tried to do the same thing all game.
When we had the ball in defence they were both on the last man.
When we were on the wings both were on the edge of the box waiting for a cut back, nobody attacking the front post.

He played 106m of bog average football but, as he gets fitter, he will learn the RDZ way, build his confidence and hopefully find the brilliant form of his early career. We have only been able to sign him for a year because this is where his rehab from injury is at. It's our job to restore him to brilliance.
Absolute stinker, like a few others.
Early days for him.
Early days for him.
I hope we’re not under any obligation to play him if fit, and do worry after hearing RDZ talking about our responsibility to him when he signed. The position he played tonight isn’t his usual role for Barca and I can’t believe we wouldn’t have been way more effective with Welbz and JP instead. If he had been played out at his usual LW he would have probably done a better job than Karou who was also crap.
