Alexis Sanchez

[Richard.H]

It makes a lot of sense even if people refuse to believe it... People have dismissed his workrate, off the ball movement and backtracking, but surprisingly that is exactly what the team has lacked in the last few games... And I'm not saying he should be an immediate starter, just that the current situation highlights the qualities he brings to the team and its system...

On another note, both Villa and Pedro, accomplished finishers, have missed some clear chances in recent games, which tells us that scoring goals is not as easy as some people think it is... Once again, I'm not saying Sanchez is off the hook, just that sometimes people are being too harsh on him...

Hmm I think Roura should experiment with Villa-Messi-Sanchez. Pedro has been as bad as Sanchez in the last few games.

No. Pedro has been bad alongside with the team as a whole but Sanchez is just a standout kind of bad. I want Sanchez to play next game to rest Pedro but in no way has he been better than him.

Sanchez is by far our worst winger this season, and he was signed for who knows how many millions. I think we should sell him as long as he's young and we still get a lot money for him instead of letting him embarass himself in every single match he plays in.

That's not true. We won against Espanyol (4-0), Malaga (3-1), again Malaga (4-2) and Osasuna (5-1) without him in the starting eleven. As opposed to that, we only drew against Malaga at home (2-2) with him. Anyway, he's certainly not the reason we've been losing points lately.

Certainly Villa would never miss such a chance.

Alexis: "It makes me nervous that I'm not scoring, although the most difficult thing is to create chances, which is what I'm doing."

As Alexis himself is proving - the most difficult thing for him to do is score goals...
