    Analysing Memphis Depay’s Barcelona debut performance (vs Girona)



    Memphis Depay made his first ever Barça appearance on Saturday in a pre-season friendly against Girona, where the Dutchman also scored his first Barça goal, with a nicely struck penalty kick. But there was plenty more than that to admire about Memphis’ performance, as we’re about to discuss…

      Thought we should take a closer look at a really promising debut for Memphis, with his movement from a central position really catching the eye! 🔥

      6:50 Jamie, Griezmann has been making these kind of runs all season long last season and Barca players never learned to feed him the ball. So I doubt they'll learn to play that ball with Memphis.

      I think Griezmann was happy to feed him those balls cuz he understands what the guy needs.

      Some are saying Busquets will feed him the ball but they forgot that Busquets only looks for Messi.

      It's only Messi who feeds the ball forward. That's the capital P with Barca.

      I wish him well though.

      I was very surprised to see Memphis wearing the full length socks. He normally only wears those normal socks covering just his shin guard, like Pedri does.
      Other than that, the usual Memphis performance. He was playing the way he played for Lyon last season.

      I see Pedri picking those runs. I see Fati and Memphis inside. As Fati is clinical with his finish. I see messi Behind them as Alba and Dest as Wing back. I See Frenkie and Pedri in the Midfield. I see Araujo in the heart of the Defence with Eric and Mingueza as Lcb and Rcb. Mingueza covering Dest.

      not only messi can sees that run, busquets, pedri, de jong… even ter stegan can notice that run… katta waiting for season starts….

      Excellent analysis. Barcelona needs depth and while Memphis likes to get the ball in his feet, he always works hard and is never afraid to dive into the depths.

      When I think about 2006-2009 barcelona squad and today's squad and praising players like Mephis, That is when I know that my Barcelona is finished

      Wasn't even Coutinho also really impressive in the early games and then his influence over the game waned out? I guess we should see how this goes over longer run

      What makes me feel really good about aguero and depay is that They are here to win for the club and not just for the money considering how small Their wages are compared to what they could have been in other clubs. Those are the kind of players we need! No more players with Big Huge wages unless they desverve it

      We are all overhyping this player…. Koeman badly needs him which itself improves his profile…. Sergi roberto and pique are still in this team to do the dangerous harms…. Let's see what happens

      We don’t have to worry right now, all we have to worry is Messi’s renewing 😬 because Messi, Pedri, Alba, Busquets & De Jong are those players who can make brilliant long range pass for Memphis Depay so he will score at least more than +30 goals next season 🔥 Can’t Wait New Season to begin, really excited 😍

      Hey Jamie. Absolutely love your videos. They're really good. I have a question do you think it's time for Ronald Koeman to change up his formation from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-5-2 formation. I think in my opinion Griezmann and Depay is a fantastic combination. Them linking up will open up space. Messi if renewed asap can play in that favored CAM position just behind the 2 fowards. Frenkie de Jong and Busquets could hopefully play as the CDMs and then give stability to the CBs and finally the 3 defenders can hold their ground in that defensive position and as I said getting helping from the 2 cdms. and finally Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto playing out on the the LM/RM positions. Let me know what you think of this plan. Do you like it. What would you change? Thanks.
