Andrés Iniesta

[SoMa]

That was not iniesta. I dont know who that was but he was the worst player out there.

 

[Elite-BkD]

Crazy overreactions here.
He was one of our better players, especially during a tough first half which saw genuinely bad performances from Alves, Alexis, Alba, Messi, and Pedro as well as sub-par ones from Pique, Xavi and Busquets, not to mention a fantastic performance from Atletico who were plainly tired more toward the end.
Still a good ways off from his best but nowhere near as bad as the chat/comments suggest.

 

[Flavia]

He was really bad tonight, I don't really remember seeing him playing so badly.

This. He defended well, especially in the 2nd halt. I agree he still needs to find his form.

Agreed. People are just surprised he can actually lose the ball.

He did suck for his standards - but on the other hand his standards are really high.

 

[Blancone]

Every good player has his bad matches. Iniesta wasn't horrible today but he missed way to many passes

osasuna 2012-13. away game.

 

[Ghost]

Worst player on the pitch by far.

Alves? (I love him, but come on..)

 

[Blancone]

Alves worse than Alba today? Not a chance

 

[Deco 20]

Yeah Alves was more sound defesively and could've had 2 another assist, I don't see how you can call him the worst player on the pitch.

 

[Blancone]

For me Pedro was our worst player today

 

[Alik]

Only watched the second half. He was terrible.

He was far from his best but the worst was PEDRO... I don't know what people see in him anymore??... What exactly is he good at? Besides pressing like a headless chicken? He was preferred over Villa all last season and he shows nothing for it. Masia status I guess.

One of Iniesta or Xavi will start to be phased out as the season goes on, though. With the way Cesc is playing and with Tata's more direct style of attacking, we're starting to see a changing of the guard.

His ball control is possibly the worst of all Barca players, it seems like he is even more one dimensional than Tello at dribbling, and at least Tello pulls his move off, when Pedro tries a step over it gets stuck under his foot Professional footballer
