We probably won"t see the best Alexis till second half of next season, if you ask me. There's been improvement, confidence wise as already mentioned. More succesful dribbles, intensity, penetrating runs, more involvement: notice how others are more keen to play him the ball, this because he is getting more cemented. But he still lacks composure, to do the easy things like a simple pass/assist, more alertness and tactical discipline, even more team understanding. This tiki-taka thing needs to become a secondhand thing to him. It's gonna take time for him I fear, and most don't have the patience. Maybe the team will. Who knows. He will get there I sense, but it will not be overnight. Sure you could argue he has had enough time, and there's nothing wrong with that statement, but if you ask me patience and support will be keyfor him, he already has the hunger and earnestness to make it. This team is a feat for any great player, not any less for an up and coming young blood like Alexis.
