I think what people might take exception to is when some say Pedro was garbage while Alexis was great, yet stat wise they had a very similar season.

Alexis with Chile >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Don't get me started on Messi bro.He isn't Messi's waterboy with Chile
More than an issue of simply playing better with the NT...In Alexis' case, his role & what he's asked/allowed to do are vastly different from that at Barcelona...The undeniable fact, however, is how much he can influence a match without being the goalscorer many of us thought he could become...Those 3 assists were terrific with only 1 of them being of the variety we're accustomed to at Barcelona...The deeper through balls were something we've seen in the past from Cesc or Xavi which illustrates the difference in roles for him at Chile
I'm still of the mind of keeping Alexis over Pedro
When they're put in their proper elements you see what type of player they really are, Pedro is an out and out wide forward while Alexis is really more of the creative type, either way you can't leave either of them stranded out on the wing, Pedro needs to make his runs and alexis needs freedom to do his work.
