not only he scores and assists a lot but hes also gives everything he has (despite his tiredness from international trips) in pressing and defending.But he still scores. Those fans are incredible. What do they want more? Alexis scoring 40 goals per season as Messi? He already has 8 goals and 4 assists in 15 games or something, that's so awesome! I am confident that he is going to make a fabulous season. At least 25 goals and 10-15 assists. This guy is in the top 10 (year2013) at goals plus assists.
I'm sick of those fans that keep talking bullshit about him, like Pedro is better or he is not a goalscorer but Pedro is, bla, bla, bla. That's why Alexis has more goals than Pedro in every season in the last 3 seasons. And not only that, but Alexis is a very good assister and his generally play is light years away from Pedro's.
sorry my mistake.he has in 1084 minutes =12 full games 8 goals and 4 assist !!!
he is a top class player who can score ,assist, cross,press etc and that is much more valuable than any "natural scorer" who have only the goal in his mind and can provide nothing more.Nobody is dissing Alexis, just saying he isn't a natural finisher.. which he isn't.

Not always. Some situations require a specialist, not a jack-of-all-trades.
It's like saying Ronaldo is a more valuable scorer because he can score with his left foot, right foot and head. Or saying that Yaya Toure is more valuable than Xavi.
This isn't one of those situations, because Alexis is a winger, not a centre forward. Wingers usually score less than 15 goals per season, because they play in a wide position from where it is more difficult to penetrate - especially in today's football. So, as a winger you can't be a goalscoring specialist and care about nothing else, such as defensive duties, tracking back etc.
Take a look at Neymar, he hasn't scored many goals at Barca, has he?
You are right...Just imagine if Alexis was the guy with that miss in yesterday's match and not Pedro. At least 2 pages would have been here only about that miss.
