dude is lucky that he is lighting fast , other than that he is just a random player. Misses at least 20 great chances per season that Messi puts them on a plate for him

this guy when ever i watch him play, i get high blood pressure really
its like watching a cripple play, he can only use his left foot ,
he cant shoot if the goal is wide open
in front of him is no threat at all and all teams know it, its beyond me
how a player cant shoot even from short distance

Having 2 attack minded lb&rb in the field at the same time is bad combination, imo. Unless atleast one of them is a workaholic and is superb defender and good going forward when it's needed. When Abidal was our lb, he was awesome, he covered a lot while Alves was attacking. Oh my goodness, do you guys remember when our team was made by these kind of players:

I have changed my mind about the new LB we need: He actually need to compete with Alba for starting spot, and not just be a young backup.
Along with his bad performances, his attitude is really bothering me, and I hope a real chance of being on the bench could change this.

alba is a world class lb and amongst the best in the world.. just because we are performing bad doesnt mean we need to find some 11 new starters.. yall having a panick attack because of the losses.. if you search for a better lb in the market you ll end up finding nothing.. the left side is alive thanks to the sprints of this guy.. the right side is dead. there is no runs made ( alves is old ) or a dribbling winger (messi jogging in the middle ) how about we start with the dead side rather than talk about improving the left side

He went for Messi pass, surrounded by loads of Valencia players.

That image is painful to look at.

I can't believe he decided to drag it back to Messi who had 6 Valencia players ahead of him.

Atrocious decision making.

I'm all for signing an Alba back-up or even a player that could bench him. He hasn't proven himself to be a very consistent performer here.

Who could bench him?
There aren´t that many great LB around that don´t already play at Bayern,RM etc and the only one that we have been linked with has been Adrian Marin.

Alba has never been great defensively or in the final third he just has a great engine and pace and is good on the ball.

No amount of competition is going to suddenly make him make better decisions.

Valencia left him and Roberto open the whole game and time and again they did not have the quality to do anything with it.

Alba is great lb with occasional drop of form as any player out there.

Also, Alba is one of the players I can't blame as he puts in a heavy shift each time he puts on Barca shirt. Plus he's a Barca kid.

1- how many times you v seen alves providing those kind of solutions by making a run at the edge of the box .. poor decision indeed.. where did the goal come from ?

2- name an affordable Lb better

3- if you were our sport director and had a budget of 60M..with all of our problems.. would start with an LB ?
