All I read is the claim that his goals and assists he has delivered this season are quite simple tap ins in easy positions, not much skill needed. Well I can argue that (if my memory serves me well) at least half of those goals and assists were not that simple tap ins from easy positions but rquire a kind of skill set that not just any striker possesses, but is exactly the skill set that Barca winger-striker should have. As you made this claim I just expect some more concrete evidence (not very hard to find as you probably know) to back that kind because what I've seen from videos I would say you are just saying it because it serves your overall argument about Alexis, I simply do not see only tap ins from easy positions, but awarness and his good reading of Barca's game. Anyways, if you still believe not backing anything up, then very well, no point arguing word against the word.
Firstly, I did not speak of assists, so don't try to add criteria to the discussion that was not original in it. Secondly, I mentioned specifically the last 5 goals as example, which represents a third of Alexis' goal scoring production, which you still dismissed as not being a good sample.
I have provided enough to substantiate my claim, short of posting videos for every single goal he has scored, video who I have actually watched before posting this by the way. The best you can do however, is come at me with a "IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME WELL" Now, who is the one making unsubstantiated claims here? If you can't take 5 minutes to visit youtube and watch the videos and come at me with something more than "what your memory serves you," don't expect me to give you the info chewed out and neatly organized for you.
But here, I'll throw you a bone. Alexis has 16 goals, 10 of which, have been easy scores or fluky goals. That's almost two thirds, if you can't tell. Want more stats? Ok. Alexis' pass success is the worst of any player at Barcelona at 79%, 5% lower than any other forward, while at the same time, passing almost the least of any regular player. More stats? Ok. Alexis' performance in the UCL is considerably worse than that of La Liga. Yes, even this season where he has played much better, his performance in the UCL is still significantly below that of La Liga. (Whoscored rating of 7.72 in La Liga vs a 6.96 in UCL. Previous seasons are worse). Want more? OK. Alexis has barely averaged a dribble per game while at Barcelona. If you average his La Liga alone, he cracks exactly 1 dribble per game. That is of course, without taking into account UCL, in which he has been substantially worse. (0.4 dribbles per game). For context, Dani Alves, a fullback, has averaged the same in La Liga and much better in the UCL.
Of the two of us, you're the one coming at me with just opinion and no facts. You can disagree with my opinion, that is perfectly acceptable, however if you're going to dismiss it and further, if you're going to cast suspicion on it, you better have something more than "what your memory serves you." You're the only one "not backing anything up."
