Alexis Sanchez

[BarcaGirl]

Did he get the official MOTM?

Yes.

 

[CatalinR10]

Yes.

 

[Galning]

Sell for 12M they said.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

He brought the sex tonight.

 

[ryuken]

Only dumb ass would sell him for 20m, that is like purposely weaken us and strengthen the opponent

 

[Pepe Silvia]

People call for Alexis' head.
Other people defend him.
Said other people are labeled fanboys for doing so.

Pepe Silvia logic.

Openly has defended Alexis on numerous occasions in the past (research back to first half of season, even back years past when he just plain sucked for us)
Wants Alexis transfered to a team where his full potential can be tapped (more creative/less restricted)
Pepe Silvia labeled as a hater.

Barcaforum logic.

 

[Hamzah]

I want him here. Just needs to be used right.

Barcaforum logic.

If you think Alexis is world class and you still want him gone, then you don't really want the best for Barca. If we have an amazing player in our own back yard, and we don't know how to use him and make the best out of him, it's our failure as a club, not Alexis' as a player. And instead of wanting Alexis to leave just for that you should blame the coaching staff, for having great players, and for not knowing how to use them. Luis Enrique's job is not to get rid of the players who don't fit, but to make the system in a way that can incorporate and use all talent in the team. Quality matters, not this "doesn't fit our style" mumbo jumbo. In the end it's not a style that wins matches, is how you put it in practice. Our lack of inteligence and sense of adapting to the changes of the game is what brought us here in the first place.

 

[Jägermeister]

I couldn't watch the match. Was he that good?

 

[serghei]

Take a look at this first touch, which, according to some here, is one of his defects.

 

[Trickykid]

I couldn't watch the match. Was he that good?

No, not really. He was solid, especially in the majority of the first half, but he faded visibly in the second alongside the rest of the team.

Still, he was decisive with the early goal and assist.

 

[serghei]

This was from the second half Trickykid. Should have had another assist.

Oof, that was sweet. I think I drifted off a tad during the latter part of the game.

 

[serghei]

Yea, he did get tired a bit, and when he looked dangerous in the 2nd he was fouled quickly. The australians seemed to have realised where the danger comes from in this Chile side. Will be tough for him against vastly superior sides like Spain and Nederland.

It'll probably be significantly harder against those sides, yeah, but on the other hand, at least against Spain, he'll be able to exploit his speed and counter attacking abilities.
