> Gavi was the standout player,Fermin and Lamine changed the game, everyone else needs to pattern up. Team was very sloppy in position, lots of bad first touches and very slow ball progression. Ter Stegen with a mistake that he frankly should not be making as a goal keeper of his calibre and team captain. Our highline is very susceptible to counters as we’ve been seeing, should’ve won this game but at least we got a point. Vamos.

> Awful game from Inigo, Ter Stegen, Romeu.

> Bad game from Gundogan, Felix, Cancelo.

> Great game from only Raphinha and Gavi.

> Good subs from Fermin and Lamine.

> Really this game was a game of blunders and individual mistakes. I don’t know what our defense or most of our midfield were doing. Hogging the ball. Constantly missplacing easy passes. Terrible first touches. Losing the ball right in front of the box. It’s like 80% of our team just wasn’t awake, same as against Celta.

> Unlike Celta tho, I felt like there was no urgency towards the end. Like we were fine with drawing.

> with pedri and frenkie out for now, gundo needs to step up.

> Every day i thank god that we have the best academy in the world 🙏

> Gavi bossing every match since he got back in midfield, fermin first goal, lamine yamal cooking grown men at the age of 16

> We were definitely unlucky coupled with some serious brain farts, but we can’t win every match we play

> Hard game made harder by the state of that pitch and the return of “Ter Statue.”

> Btw the next few weeks are going to be brutal if Gundo can’t step up in Frenkie’s absence. But some big brain tacticos will try and tell you that FDJ is not needed and harms the overall play of the team!

> Lastly, thank goodness for Raphinha and his uncanny ability to pull goals and assists out of his ass, carried us through those 1-0s last year, and came through again. Clutch player.

> We cant win every game, simple as that, yes it was horrible to watch as a barca fan, but these are the type of games that builds character of a team

Author: **botakbiadab** | Score: **89** pts | **[Source](https://reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/16t121c/postmatch_thread_rcd_mallorca_vs_fc_barcelona_vs/k2cfnna/)**

> If anything, these last two matches showed how important Frenkie actually is. It’s apparent that our overall play became significantly worse without him on the pitch.

Author: **KPascio** | Score: **69** pts | **[Source](https://reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/16t121c/postmatch_thread_rcd_mallorca_vs_fc_barcelona_vs/k2cgn1r/)**

> These kinds of intentional pitch conditions are one of the big dents on La Liga. Yes Inigo’s passing was shit but I reckon the pitch played a major role in it. Why do we look like physically gassing out after Antwerp game?? My real Gavi is coming back. Yamal, enough said.

> Separating Lewy and Felix is like separating Batman and Robin… why would you do that?

Author: **mattisafootballguy** | Score: **39** pts | **[Source](https://reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/16t121c/postmatch_thread_rcd_mallorca_vs_fc_barcelona_vs/k2cg0zf/)**

> A point here is fine. Very difficult game and we were arguably the worse team.

> Congested fixture schedule and heavily tested just a few days ago. Not a good performance, but still undefeated & showed character to come back into the game.

Author: **queenofdad** | Score: **31** pts | **[Source](https://reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/16t121c/postmatch_thread_rcd_mallorca_vs_fc_barcelona_vs/k2cgumy/)**

> Everyone went crazy with just one draw. You can’t win every match and considering the condition of the field. Moreover, the best two players in our midfield are injured, so it is normal that some of that will be reflected in the game. However, with Martinez never playing in the starting XI and Arujo suddenly returning from injury, giving the two in the starting lineup seems like the wrong decision. But in the end we managed to bring one point which is a positive aspect.

> Just a massive amount of individual mistakes especially by the veteran players bad passes bad touches, it looks like they just didn’t show up ready to play.

Author: **FluffyCoconut** | Score: **24** pts | **[Source](https://reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/16t121c/postmatch_thread_rcd_mallorca_vs_fc_barcelona_vs/k2cfwi4/)**

> Inigo, Ter Stegen, Romeu and Gundogan disasterclass. Cancelo, Felix, Balde and Raphinha(post goal) were bad too but at least involved. Couldn’t adapt to Mallorca’s aggressiveness, shitty pitch and lack of cards and we’re paying with 2 points for it.

> To quote the former president of the US: Drain the swamp!

> Seriously, the intentional overwatering of the pitch went against the spirit of fair play.

> Not a bad result, but those two blunders by the defence and MATS were entirely avoidable.

> Baffling decision to sub off Felix as soon as Lewy came on. They had brilliant chemistry in the past few games.

> Ferran didn’t use his chance to impress today, Gavi was brilliant. Raphina very good as well.

> Gundogan was non-existent.

> Yamal is fantastic at this age. Lewandowski’s fake assist was great to see.

> Here’s hoping Madrid drops points tomorrow.

> So we are already turning on MATS? Yes he had a horrid game but man, ter statue, seriously? Did we all collectively forget the game 3 days ago??

> One match, on the fucking Pacific Ocean of a pitch!! And we turn on our best player for a season??! It’s okay, call a spade a spade, but this shit is just juvenile at this point.
