Bollocks. Diving is the exact opposite of trying and failing. Poor effort, Tito.
He tried to dive successfully but failed.

I think I just realised why his confidence is so low. There's just two things I need to do to bring the old Alexis back..

from this moment im a hater of this idiot player costing us 2 easy goals and now 2-2
what's with all this talk that alexis cost us the game? he missed some sitters but we drew because we got complacent and too confident, we drew because thiago was caught out in possesion, we drew because no one was defending the set peice/ marking the man at the last minute, we didn't lose the lead because of some missed chances by sanchez, malaga had ten men aided with the fresh legs of pedro, cesc and xavi and we didn't take advantage instead we conceded and we paid for it, so I don't get all the hate on Alexis, he created those chances himself with those runs and that keeps defenders on their toes, they focus more on defending than attacking, plus he recovered balls and defended alot too so I give him credit for that, I'm glad the camp nou was more understanding than the bunch of so called fans here. fact of the matter is that away goals count alot and that's the fault of bad defending not missed shots by forwards. Messi was unsually selfish today, shouting at the ref and those freekicks were terrible. the player that was great as usual was Iniesta the rest of the team were hit or miss. fabregas should have started alongside sanchez, fabregas knows sanchezs runs and often does threatening throughballs fabregas isn't biased in passing the ball which I like, example away game to bayer leverkusen he always looks for the man attacking instead of xavi who is more converative and usually only threads the ball to Messi. I have faith that sanchez will bounce back and also the team will win in La rosaleda.
+1. Objectivity is the most scarce thing on this forum. Sorry to say this, but blaming Alexis for the draw is just ludicrous. His misses were one of many contributing factors. One could easily have blamed Pedro and called him a disgusting diver for not being confident enough to try to score, or Thiago for being dispossessed or Pinto for that poor pass. It's blatantly obvious that the people blaming the draw on Alexis have an agenda. It's akin to blaming Messi for our CL exit last season.
He's not to blame for the draw. People are just frustated with him. For the price he cost, to all his missed sitters, and for getting minutes from Villa and Tello. And the diving... if he'd cut it, it would be much appreciated.+1. Objectivity is the most scarce thing on this forum. Sorry to say this, but blaming Alexis for the draw is just ludicrous.

alexis sanchez: 26(+11) mln euro, 63 apps, 18 goals, diver
jose callejon: 5.5 mln euro, 63 apps, 27 goals, badass hair
diving to protect yourself is one thing but are you seriously suggesting that alexis only dives to protect himself? he dives excessively when he is in potential goal scoring/assist positions. i would agree with you if he fell once in a while like pedro to protect himself, but thats not the case man. he is blatant and refs have his number for a reason.Funny how people complain about Alexis' dive. Half of our team dives from the time to time or at least milks contact even if it's just to protect themselves from a heavier physical impact. And pretty much every other team does it too. It's a part of football, just like fouls and time-wasting are parts of football. I'm not fond of that, mind you, but that's just the way it is.
So, could anyone answer me why diving is particulary malicious, and more precisely, why it's even worse when Alexis does it ?
