Off topic: RW make me wanna

On topic: I'd say Pedro.

Allas on Alexis

I agree with the sentiment and much being said, however, there are some things you cannot ignore.

I think over the months, people are unfair to him...he has some good games and yet people come with stuff like "he has never played one good game"...I mean, how can I have heard this on 3 different occassions.

Anyway, yes, he does alot of good for the team people dont talk about. His movement is more important than Pedro's this season, he does what Pedro used to do every game in terms of those runs to distract defenders and create time for others.

But we are Barcelona. We are far too good and far too many good options for that alone to be enough for you to evade criticism.

When you miscontrol passes which would give you a chance to score, miss chances and not show the aggression needed in the 1 v 1...what do you want us to say?

We have other players too, guys like Tello, who do very little wrong and dont get enough minutes to show for it.

Look, in the end, Alexis does some really really positive things people dont give him nearly enough credit for. But the reason for that is what he does negative is so overwhelmingly obvious, dont people care.

I am not dissapointed with Alexis attitude nor effort, in the end, if you have those 2 things I will never hate a player. Even if I am hyper critical, I respect the attitude regardless...but I am so dissapointed how his confidence has been shattered and how its only getting worse.

But say Sanchez and Pedro started together, wouldn't make more sense for Pedro to make the runs behind the defense and Sanchez to link up play and allow Alves to to run down the wing.

Their roles seems a bit lopsided to me, Sanchez seems to be doing a role which Pedro would excel in and Pedro seems to be doing a role which Sanchez would excel in.

I found that all very strange, obviously if Barca played with 3 forwards you would expect Villa to start but none the less its something i don't quite understand.

Sanchez is very bad at keeping the ball, that's probably the reason he doesn't come between lines to get the ball. He would lose more than he already loses (second after Messi).

Alexis comes deep to inconsistent results.

He can make a final pass or a cross, he is good at that, but whenever it isnt one of those balls...dont know, a bit hit and miss.

Like, if he is in danger he will keep it well with the dribble. But if he has to make a decisions, create an angle for a pass and then make a pass...it sometimes goes well, but more often its isnt great.

I would rather he run away from it, because he creates distraction for someone else.

Bare in mind, I dont like the balance Pedro has either, I would like less coming to the ball too.

are in mind, I dont like the balance Pedro has either, I would like less coming to the ball too.

I'd like to see this too.

It boggles me that Pedro is not making these runs as much anymore. I use to think maybe it was Tito or something, but it's clearly not because whenever Alexis gets a run in, he starts making the runs Pedro used to make immediately.

Now Pedro has been coming to the ball much more, and I don't know why. It boggles my mind.

No need to rush him, rather educate him a little more in Barca’s way.

We have the same problem with Jese lol

It's ridiculous how similar those two are. Here's hoping both become cornerstones of their teams in the future

Would make for a great rivalry.

I have not seen Jese, but I am getting a little worried by Deulofeu.

He seems the complete opposite of Bojan, but not in a good way.

I am a little worried as to why he doesnt start all the time, I am a little worried how he would react to not being the or one of the main players in the team and I am a little worried about his stamina.

Maybe its just I would be more confident if it was Pep in charge.

Tello is boss on the left. But anyways since both Pedro and Alexis are shaky nowadays and Deu isn't going to get too many chances in the near future (let's be honest) and I too don't think we should put more MFs on the wing, I'll ask you fellow Barca fans a hypothetical question:
Let's assume we go with an outside choice. Not some one who's on the first team but someone from outside who is a bit more seasoned than a canterano. Who do you think would be the best candidate and why? I've actually pondered this before. Who would you choose as an export on the right? Again, it's hypothetical as I, like I'm sure you all do, feel that Deu is our ideal choice. But just for kicks, who would you pick?

Also, can you guys elaborate on the attitude situation with Deu? I've yet to hear that he has an issue.

Pedro and Alexis have been so shite, that I would put the natural LW Tello out on right and have Villa on the left. Pedro can come on as sub and Alexis can sit on the bench the full 90, unless we need some one to come on and dive to kill time

Cuenca sure sounds nice right now
