9 - Alexis Sanchez
I always recommended the hybrid style but some guys keep insisting sideways passing tiki taka will solve the problem like it always (seemingly not) does.
The only difference between this year and last year is the fact Barca played their through balls as crosses rather than one the ground most of the time

Nope, didn't stop...still always saw Cesc always trying/failing throughballs, Neymar always trying/failing take-ons, Alves always crossing to nowhere, and most players in a rush to make an attacking pass. No patience, no matter what the possession stats say.
And most important, no movement in the final third.
Defensive passing (possession) is *part* of tiki-taka, but it's inaccurrate to represent the style Barça used to play as "sideways passes." The most important thing lacking in the system this year is movement. Having both Cesc and Neymar on the field at the same time as Messi kills any ability to make team attacks in the final third.
The Barça brand is "the best team goals on the planet." I don't watch Barça to see Ronaldo headers, Bale 1v1s with the keeper from the half-line, penalties, corners, counterattacking tap-ins. I want to see astonishingly good teamwork and technical ability in the service of creating attacks- not luck, not speed, not grit, not individual diva goals. And I really don't care if Barça wins, I just want to see the best, the most precisely executed total team football on the planet. For the other crap, there's EPL Match of the Day highlights.

Alexis on almost 3 seasons at Barca was GOOD only ONE half of the season till the winter break 2013-2014. It is not a shit that we could brag about that unfortunately !
With your past post, you have already shown that your hate for Alexis clouds your judgement.
Even in Alexis worst season, i.e last season, he was more threatening than Pedro was in that very same season. While Alexis was missing tap-ins, Pedro wasnt even doing that. He was completely invisible..

Tiki Taka the way Barca plays it has ran it's course, and no offense but it's mostly side passes for most parts now. Almost every team knows how to stop them now. It might be hard for some to admit, but it's time for Barca operate serious changes in the style of play imo.
Against Madrid, they never looked like scoring from open play except the Neymar occasion towards the end.

Fanboys always have difficult time understaning a few key yet simple concepts.
1. This is not Alexis vs. Pedro or vs Neymar thread
2. If you dislike Pedro and love Alexis don't make it look like everyone here is doing the same stupid thing defending their favorite and bashing his competitors.
3. If you think expressing views about Alexis or any other player means hatered you must be either a fanboy or way too unprepared for such a simple discussion...
4. Why so many people here and not only take it personally when one politely says what he is thinking about a player or another. In this particular case does Alexis pay your monthly expenses or aren't we supposed to discuss here constructively ? Why you and so many before you here attack persons just for the fact that they say their opinions ? I've already read many many pages of this and other threads and I'm just sick of this shit.

Good post, there is nothing wrong with expressing ones feelings about a certain player especially once they can back up their point.

Heard he called tata a coward. Not sure if true. But he didn't collect the medal.
Load of BS don't believe it sport had nothing to write about and came up with this they said alexis insulted tata in the locker room after the RM match but in that day tata went straight to the bus after the press conference (http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/copa-del-rey/jugadores-entrenador-cada-uno-por-lado-3252366) sport covered that after the match pathetic accusations from Catalan media

He is right. He deserves to play more than Cesc and the latter doesn't stop playing. I heard last time that he's the player who played most games this season for us. What a shame

really? then i think he is off to juventus!
let's see how many of those you will get to see against Atletico madrid-esque teams!
football eveolves, teams dont give the same space as before, our players have aged plus other factors and are no longer that accurate at those things, other teams know how to counter our moves and set up to do just that. i dont think being conservative helps in this case

Really strange that he was not present at the ''celebration''.
