You are just a fanboy defending him. Thats it.
Take of your gogles.
As I said, his job is to score goals and keep the defenders busy. If he does this, he is fine. Like last game, he scored a penalty which is his job.
At a age of 36 you cannot and should not expect a player playing in Barca/Barcalevel be doing things that Raf, Pedri or Olmo does. The team knows this, the fans know this.
If he doesnt score the clear cut chances, he is not doing his job, hence he's having a bad game. No amount of fanboyish defending from you will change that.
Yes if he goes above and beyond. Scoring half chances, helps in transition and defence. Then I will say, yes he was having a good game. Which he was before Dec. He was actually one of our best players. But since then, form or his age has caught up.
I am hoping he regains his form, cuz I want to us to win trophies.
