Maybe he wants to help Messi win the Pichici so he passed the ball .

Barçapocalypse NOW!
Don't get worked up, it was a honest question...
While clearly no player is bigger than the club, it will be a tremendous task to the coach and the club to manage such situation, and in a way it's not a good idea to upset our best player just because Sanchez doesn't want to shoot...
As I said, I'm actually agreeing with you, I'm just saying that the problem at hand is not solved as easily as bringing an ambitious (in the good way) player in front of goal, that's just part of one of the possible solutions... It's Alexis' shooting problem that need solving, there's no need to mess with Messi...

I don't think Alexis looks for Messi specifically, I think he just thinks to pass before shooting, it's just that Messi is normally the one in position to receive the pass. He's just a player whose first instinct is to lift his head and play in a teammate, and while that can sometimes not be the best option shooting is also sometimes not the best option, so... And as for everyone saying "oh he's just scoring poacher's goals", if it was so easy everyone would do it, and also:

It's just 3 goals in what 30 starts in this season..LOL.. If u would have watched yesterday's match against getafe he fot a fair chance to shoot but he tried to pass it to Messi and he was nowhere to receive the ball. I don't understand that.. You are a well known goal scorer for ur country and for his former club why in hell he wants to pass everyball in the final third to messi. We bought Sanchez to help messi by scoring goals.
FYI Toure has scored 19 goals (Sanchez-18) this season and there are wonderful free kicks and strikes in that.

And plenty of penalties too, you conveniently forgot to mention that.

He should do that kind of stuff when Messi is there
Yup Neyboy,Messi and Alexis should be the ones taking FKs and Adriano when he plays. Xavi can't score to save his life the reason for this is that if he does the opposition get the ball back for the kick off and in turn we are ceding possession. Plus the don should take the corners

Confused by the criticism.
He's been better than Neymar and Pedro this year. What am I missing?

Last time a player , besides Messi , who had at least 20 goals per season was Villa a while back.
Could have had more goals if he would have been played a lot more in recent times.

he could have had about 30 if he was an actual finisher like he is for Chile. He misses the easiest of chances its too frusturating to watch him GOAT it for Chile but forgetting how to shoot with Barca

because the pressure is bigger at barca, since he's playing week in week out and is watched by the whole world, because there's more responsibility, because there's a spot to fight for. what can chile do maximum? even if chile doesn't win shit it's not gonna be a surprise, so it's a psychological escape route for sanchez when he plays for chile, less pressure, but there's no escape when you play for barca, it's immense pressure under which sanchez under-performs. because he isn't a natural champion. of course this is one of the many factors sanchez will never go down in history as one of barca's greats, not even in barca's top 100 i guess. unless he magically improves which i don't see happening
