Absolutely this. Hard to be a creative player when you've nothing ahead of you.
Had a mate at the game who said a lot of the crowd were slating him. I really hope that's not the case. This lad will be a player.

Considering the booing for taking him off, I’d guess that was just one or two people rather than the majority.

Yeah, They were mentioning it on commentary too. He was trying to make things happen and could tell he wanted more from others around him.
Did you see when one of the CBs had the ball Xavi was shouting at Palinha to go and get it because Palinha was wandering out to the right hand side! You could see him thinking "How am I gonna get on the ball if he doesn't even want to take the ball from the CBs!?"

No missed that!
And I guess then this is also the problem with some of our players having a better footballing brain along with technique than others.
If they are not on same level then another reason our attacks break down. Along with that and tinkle poor finishing

I like that he wants to battle to win the ball.
Also there was one incident in the second half where he gave the ball away (or rather it was taken off him) and he bust a gut to try to win it back.
Not sure why he was taken off tbh as he was running our game.

Could be fitness.
Seems to come off most matches, so might not have 90mins in him.
But he needs movement around him.

Definitely needs to sack off his boot sponsors. I think he’s starting to come good, and given the time will be a great addition

I think his own shadow knocked him over.

Liked the fact he was battling for the ball yesterday far more and it's good he has the CL this season to show his class. He has a lovely shimmy but then not the pace or power to get away (or the options to play a quick pass forwards which I'm sure he's capable of). If you look at how long it took Frank to get a tune out of Damsgaard (a similar whispy player) I think we need patience with Xavi and Frank. I really like seeing a manager build with a team of youngsters though I get frustrated too when we don't get results. I'm trying to temper that in calmer moments with the fact that I don't expect Top 5 this season and young players need time.
