No transfer rumours?
Difference between Pedro and Alexis
1. Pedro usually plays out more wide to stretch the pitch and is more involved in link up play and dragging defenders out of position. This is the reason he doesn't get into goalscoring positions a lot. Alexis rarely does this and is not successful when he tries
2. Alexis slows down our attack fumbling with ball and either passes it back, dives or loses the ball.
3. Pedro doesn't miss sitters. He scored a great goal vs espanyol to show that he still hasn't lost his touch. Problem is he isn't getting many scoring chances probably because he hasn't been told by Tito to make those runs.
4. Alexis demoralizes the team and its like playing with 10 men as opposition defenders dont take him seriously(probably why he's free to make those runs). In the previous match Tello didn't pas to Alexis many times when he could have. This just sums up his effect on the team. Whereas Pedro and Villa are generally more tightly marked.
At what point do we stop saying that Alexis is "fitting into the system, lacks confidence blah blah". How long people will milk "that goal in the clasico" to justify his blunders.It has been almost two seasons. Even last season he was decent at best and never convinced me that he was worth 37m. We need a goalscorer to take the burden off Messi to avoid another failure like last year. Alexis has nearly cost us a cup. Do we want to lose Cl too before we come to our senses? Its not like we are a small club which has to make do with mediocre players. Barca deserves better

Villa can do that, but he's getting old, and seems to still have injury problems (not sure whether it has anything to do with his injury last year are not). Pedro might be able to.
Will score today. :thumbsup2:
