Is he actually playing ?
F Frejsgodes Guest Dec 10, 2014 #1,263 Not liking the way he'd playing at the moment. Alba should have been playing that LB today.
Cule Finn New member Dec 10, 2014 #1,264 Mathieu should not be played at left back. He fits much better in the middle.
DonAndres Wild Man of Borneo Dec 10, 2014 #1,265 Not on good form as it is but at LB he's phenomenally bad. Both vs. RM and PSG he's been a laughably bad defender. Alba was shitty against PSG too but he wouldn't have been this bad.
