Alex Song

i hope we sell him

 

[evilhita666]

Shocking performance in my opinion...

 

[Galning]

Daang.

 

[Flavia]

He's not suited to play for Barça. I'm venting frustration, but he was a horrible buying. Just awful, terrible. He's good enough just to play against smaller teams, that park the bus and don't attack.

 

[Sultan]

hopefully UTD will call in the summer.

 

[noteiverse]

Slow, offers nothing going forward and is not good at defending. Needs to be sold in the summer.

I still couldn't understand why was he the DM and not Busquets. He played well (not well, but better than tonight) against Villarreal when he started at CM and Busquets at DM.

I as usual feel Song is unnecessarily victimized. In the beginning, when we had control of the game, he was moving the ball around very nicely, covering for our centerbacks, and made a handful of crucial interceptions. As control slipped away from us, he was the player who perhaps suffered most from it, and had a handful of poor defensive plays, but I feel he was let down by the team instead of the other way around. Sure, once we had lost control he was not the player to bring us back in it, but that doesn't make him bad.

But he doesn't really offer anything of quality, anything that qualifies him to be even our backup. If Busi gets injured we can say goodbye to the Liga and CL, he is simply not good enough.

I have always thought Song was decent enough to play in our side, and for the most part I'm satisfied with him... However, the fact that he's an utility player doesn't let him off the hook when things go bad and he should contribute more in such scenarios...

While I don't intend to minimize Song, look how Adriano is up to the task most of the time...

Yup I have no problem with Song, he adds some muscle to the side at least, but today he was horrid. Hope the lesson is learned that Song + Busi = turn over after turn over. If you go 2 DM you go with Masch + Song or Busi.

The whole team was a mess. Busquets too. Song is a good enough backup for Busquets but having him play in front of Bartra was a tactical mistake I think, especially given his poor positioning.

 

[jairzinho]

His defending on the 1st goal was atrocious and comical.

 

[linetty]

We gotta get rid of him ASAP

 

[Cule4life]

I simply have lost patience with him. I was against his signing from the start but I was willing to give him time to prove himself. Fact is he is a downgrade in every aspect over our starters. He adds nothing to our squad. He needs to be sold asap. Some might say he is good for a squad player but I disagree. Bench players need to have something different which can help us change a game. Look at bayerns bench. They have Schweini on the bench and we have song. That in itself is poetic of how we have fallen and how bayern have taken over our mantle
