Daniel Alves

not terrible compared to his usual self.

doesnt mean much

 

[Sumlit]

He played deeper and didn't venture forward as much, result, was more solid today. 5 tackles alone. He's still a weakness of the team, his decline is steep, but playing him more reserved and defensive helps the team more.

 

[Zangash]

Every time he went forward he fucked up our play with his stupid decision making and pointless balls into the area. He's not even looking for someone when he crosses, it, either. So frustrating.

If we're going to play him like that, then we might as well rest him and play Montoya once in a while so that he doesn't leave next summer and leave us with just Doglas.

Don't tell me, tell Lucho.

Do you have his email? Or a phone number I can reach him at?

 

[CatalinR10]

he was bad imo

 

[Behrox]

Probably his 2nd best performance of the season. That is just because he had I guess less than 7 crosses tonight. Alba on the other hand owned Sevilla again and again like prime Dani used to do

 

[Co0ter]

Alves was bad, very bad. It's also very disappointing to admit he only SEEMED better because he wasn't attacking as much and playing more defensively. Every time he touched the ball offensively it was terrible.

He was always not a good crosser, but last season and especially this season they are more awful than ever. His decline the last few seasons has been steady, but he truly has been dreadful this season.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Does anyone else think we shouldn't judge him because he has to cover at AM for Rakitic?

 

[messi2140]

with each passing day its getting harder and harder to remember to good things he did for us.

He just looks confused lately, like he forgot how to football - no?

 

[DinhoR10]

I don't even realise he's playing most of the time, he doesnt contribute much.

 

[evilhita666]

Seriously, Montoya, or Douglas for that matter, can't offer any less than what he's doing these days...

 

[Zangash]

I remember one point in the first half where Suarez lined up next to his defender and pointed, ready to sprint after a pass, and Alves ignored him completely in favor of crossing the ball into a pit of three defenders, Messi, and the keeper.

Can't even remember the last time he had a truly good game.
