LaLiga 2019/20, Granada 2-0 Barcelona: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Antoine Griezmann

Griezmann endured another forgettable display, this time away at Granada where he was largely anonymous

Speaking of teammates who failed to capitalise, Antoine Griezmann again was a frustrating figure to watch in precisely the type of game Barca signed him for - to lessen the creative load on Messi, while asserting his capability to take over from an increasingly sloppy Luis Suarez in attack.

For the second successive fixture, the World Cup winner has been essentially anonymous in the final third and despite flashes of his individual brilliance, the transition to Valverde's system at Barca hasn't been an easy one to settle into.

Operating on the left-hand side of his preferred 4-3-3 formation, he failed to register a shot on target, complete a key pass or dribble over the 90 minutes. If those match statistics don't speak for themselves, I'm not sure what will.

A lot is said about his attacking positioning, movement and whether he's being played out of position - all of which is justified. But he drifted in-and-out of the game and again struggled to make his presence felt in the grand scheme of things.

So much so that when Fati was introduced to start the second-half, I can remember him doing more - even without the end product - than Griezmann over the full match. Carles Pérez was replaced, but it could have easily been their big-money summer signing too, had Valverde not got his personnel wrong from the start.
