This.
He even started slipping and falling again.
Nope! Not Messi's fault. . "It's Alves who pushes to high up the field and makes Alexis run out of space"
It's true, he had loads of space today and touched the ball a hell of a lot more, he didn't play well but that happens. Busquets has played badly the last 3 or 4 games. There is a difference between playing badly and not being allowed to play which is what happens when he plays with Alves.
It seems like someone programmed his brain to serve Messi with passes even when he is surrounded by 3 players instead of shooting or going for it by himself.

He wasn't that bad. One of the best players on the pitch, even if they all played bad. At least he tried something, Pedro did exactly nothing.
Its only reasonable to defend your comments. . . Be true to yourself. HE DOESN"T FIT IN! His wing play style suits a direct playing team like Udinese where he came from. . . He feels restricted and caged here, and can't perform. Its not any body's fault! He should be let to go.
Trying to make himself relevant, by tying himself to Messi. . . Only logical explanation.
I'd like to see him take up position in front of Messi from time to time, like a hybrid 9/inside forward/winger.
