Daniel Alves

[Galning]

Alves being the best option is a no brainer. Just because nobody rates Adriano and Douglas at rightback doesn't mean they aren't options there, if they are not going to be used then we might as well give them a differt job at the club.
And when Alves came back from injury, Rafinha, Iniesta were all still available.

Yeah but the point is everything after his return -- Sergi has got better and better, Dani's form has been iffy at best. If he was playing as well as he was at the end of last year, it'd be a different story.


With that said, taking Messi out of the team messes up everything, especially down the right. I think it's central to Dani and Rak's current poor imprint on the team.

He stole Messi's costume

As expected Alves has reverted back to his pre march 2015 level.

Give him the Pique treatment. We have Roberto for RB. At least when Iniesta returns.

No need to waste roberto there now that he's living up to his potential.
Just be patient for 2 months and then we will have vidal as rb.

If he does not improve sell him in the summer. His wage is high.

Poor vs. Bate. His protest after making blatant fouls are annoying.

I am not Dani's biggest fan these days but Lucho was reacting about another potential injury imo.

First of all, I don't think we "waste" him playing him on RB - is that an unimportant position? If he excels there, go for it! Second, how Vidal turns out is anybodies guess - he could be another Mathiue on RB, or worse, like Douglas.

Lol at Lucho's reaction

Of course! Do people think he was suspecting Alves of faking it?

 

[EdmondDantes]

Much better from him today. Seems to be back on form, should've scored though.

His decision making process seems to have been really slowing down a lot nowadays. Too often it takes him an awful lot of time to decide what to do next.
