Daniel Alves

[Kerrybai]

Dani Alves is played like a winger 60% of the time in Barcelona. That's a tactic and it comes with it's downfalls. What are you trying to suggest is that Dani does what he feels like without the manager's approval. That's nonsense. If he had done that, he would've been benched right away. Instead of blaming Alves for this, you should blame Tata Martino.

And for the highlighted part, no player can be in two places at once, if he's in the attack, he can't travel faster than the ball to get back to defence. And in the end, it's on the manager to decide if he wants to go for higher offensive power, or more defensive stability. To me it's clear that Martino views Alves as an offensive weapon first. It's not wrong, IF YOU HAVE A WORLD CLASS DEFENDER to cover for him. At the moment, we don't. That's why Alves should be played as a more conservative RB -- at least until we buy a reliable defender.

Spot on.

But the problem is hes not even a good winger, he used to be good in attack which was a trade for his lack of skills in defence, but nowadays hes poor in attack aswell, he can't dribble, he can't cross, he's not as fast anymore.. he just isn't as good anymore.

I thought that whole Evra thing was more of a culture shock thing, he called him negro which is acceptable where he's from but not anywhere else.

This, it was cultural ignorance, not racism.

So is it acceptable in Holland? He'd been playing there for years, not like he'd just turned up in England from Uruguay. He should have known better.

Not saying that he should have been excused but he's not racist, I agree he should of known better but he's fine with black people to my knowledge.

Or he wanted to hurt Evra. You don't have to be racist to use a racist insult. I never learned if suarez apologized to evra in the end, did he?

Alves: "I wouldn't ban the fan [who threw the banana] from the stadium, I'd put his photo on internet for him to feel embarrassed." [rg]

Alves: "There's racism against foreigners in Spain. They sell themselves as first world country, but in some issues they are behind." [rg]

LOL at people acting like they are some kind of angel and have never made an offensive comment in their lives, and people that have are the spawn of Satan.

Suarez did the crime. He's served his time. Evra has forgiven him. Move on.

I'm pretty sure I have never used a racial slur in my life. Thank you very much.
