Charlay has been subbed in two of the last three matches. I didn't watch last night's game so I don't know the circumstances but there was no injury involved on the previous occasion.

I've watched last game. He played poorly except first few minutes, had yellow card for a dive and continued to commit fouls.

Sounds like the player analysis of pedro/oscar's 90% of the games for CFC.

His form has not been great in recent weeks. (I missed one of the games but I'm told he was not effective.) It's perhaps tempting to think therefore that Charly has been dropped but maybe it's just tactical. Everybody shapes up for Barca and anticipates having no more that 30% of the ball. If that's so then it's understandable if Charly is the man sacrificed to the needs of the system they are going to use.

Musonda's coming on, pray, pray, pray that he'll be decisive.

We need to help Simeone out.

Come on!

How did he do? I lost enthusiasm for the game when Charly didn't start.

I watched the game till the 80th minute, i guess.

What can i tell you... for such a young lad he controls the ball quite well, confidence is flying high and he loves taking on opponents, when in full flow he glides through midfield and defense, there was one moment of magic, imo,
but most of the time he ends up against 3 guys and that's too much. He gets dispossessed, sometimes in dangerous areas which leaves his team exposed to counter attacks. He still has a lot to learn, far from ready, but the talent is there.
If you can take out Alba then it ain't so bad.
Overall in my view he made a positive impression, he brought more fun into the game, he actually tried. [emoji4]

It did not help that Betis were down to 10 men for majority of the game so when Musonda came on, he was having to do tons loads of defending. Had it been 11 against 11, we would have seen more of him which is a shame but yeah did a nice little run where he glided past couple or three player then eventually lost it. But yeah, decent outing considering the circumstances.

Mostly tried to do too much. He had one great run but he ended up giving the ball away cheaply. On defense should have tracked back better, especially that Betis was down to ten men.

Not to be too harsh on the boy, but he clearly still has a long way to go from what I've seen of him at Betis, but the talent is very clearly there. Would love to see him for a second season at Betis or some other mid-table team in Spain.

Charly Musonda vs Barca

Chelsea veteran Gus Poyet will manage Musonda next season: http://realbetisbalompie.es/es/noticias/actualidad/6883/gustavo-poyet-entrenador-del-real-betis-para-las-d 

I think i remember he tends to favor possesion based football (4-3-3). Hope he takes Musonda to the next level next year, it also helps they both speak english!

Charly's Spanish is at least as good as his English. Assuming Charly is still there, they'll communicate in Gus's native tongue.

Hoping he ups his game to another level next year at Betis. The kid has an incredible work-ethic wich impresses me alot: 

It is off-season for him but he still reguraly posts stuff of him hitting the gym on snapchat and instagram. Pains me to see players like Willian, Hazard, and Costa turn up fat whenever they return from off-season. 

Btw, do you guy's think he will join the first-team in pre-season? Or will he go straight back too Betis?
