sanchez played bad but not as crufixingly bad as people make it out to be, i laughed when someone mentioned he cant dribble despite the fact that he had the 2sd highest dribbles against levante with 3, messi had 5. im also surprised that people say he cant pass when he did the most key paases out of both team with 4 key passes compare that to messi who had zero key passes. http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/738683/LiveStatistics/Spain-La-Liga-2013-2014-Levante-Barcelona sanchez can do better but saying that he contributes nothing to this team is luducris. the winners against espanyol, sevilla, and who could forget real madrid makes his contribution so far outstanding.

Exactly! Funnily enough, most of those who are claiming his head never posted when he played well, they just crawl out of their holes when things go bad...

Levante parked the bus in the worst possible way (for us), even the ESPN commentators were comparing them to DiMateo's Chelsea team... And I know that's no excuse for Alexis' poor game, but to claim the debate is over is taking it a little bit too far especially when Alexis is one of Messi's top assisters...
I don't think anyone is claiming his head but simply pointing out that when he plays with Messi he has consistently underwhelmed. I'm of the opinion that up until these last few games, Sanchez has been a complete stud and I'm even giving him the benefit of the doubt (like a lot of others are doing), something I never used to do. So to be fair, it's not a pitchfork party, it's merely pointing out some screamingly obvious obstacles that we have yet to overcome as a team. I feel that most rational Barca fans want Alexis to succeed at this point, because anything less would mean the team unsettled and we've all had enough of that. We are ready for CL Glory and another Liga title :)

Sanchez is an enigma. He is a headache for Barca in the sense that how long do Barca have to wait for a CONSISTENT Alexis who cements his place and steps up to the plate when required.

He plays much better through the middle and when we are more direct.

Agreed and fortunately Neymar can be very effective on that left wing otherwise we'd have 3 devastating player in attack who play best through the middle leaving our flanks open...A big reason why, despite the recent resurgence, I think there is probably some truth to the rumours of him going on the block this summer - could be the best time to profit on his sale, tbh

Zubizarreta (sports director): "Alexis to PSG rumour? We don't have any offer from them, nor from any other club."

Told you so.

We don't need to see these photos. . . What we really need is some consistency on the pitch. Hard to understand why someone with such a ripped body has the body balance of Bambi.
