The money spent on him and the hype from Mendes and the euros meant we were always going to try and force him into the starting 11.
Time and time again we've posted on here saying he's not Barca quality and never will be, he showed nothing in the 28 games before but because we were winning most because of MSN it was fine and "he has potential" according to the people defending him.
Well now you saw what he's about, what people have been seeing for the whole season. ZERO passes forward, lost possession, bad touches, shocking defending, poor finish on the only chance of the game (did anyone think he would finish that? I would have bet my house that he wouldn't score)
It's fine saying yes but everyone was bad... but they have played 100s of games for Barca where they are great. I've seen this guy do about 5 good things in the 29 games he's played for Barca. Never was, never will be good enough.
And to top that off we had Verratti on the other side, wow what a player, should have been a replacement for Xavi, showing everyone in the world what a Barca midfielder should look like.
