Jordi Alba

[clemente]

Alba + Neto for Gaya swap

 

[magicomessi]

Hos only advantage was his speed .. without it I won?t play him in a second division team .... a disaster

 

[Sailor Mars]

Great 1st half from him today. Made a couple good defensive plays, some nice crosses, and has combined well with Dembele.

 

[JamDav1982]

Fair play to him he has been brilliant this season.

Never seen him better in final third than these few months.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Transplanted hair gave him confidence back.

 

[Porque]

Long live LE21.

Everytime Luis Enrique drops him, Alba returns to his best level.

 

[ThwiX]

Disaster.

 

[feggydinho]

Mehn, he literally only crosses to Messi. Doesn?t even try to look for the 9

He is now one trick pony. Pass back to Messi.

 

[FCMessi]

retarded suicide throw to a heavily left footed and slow Lenglet who bailed out and left Ter Stegan to be the hero.

 

[sikkboy]

He's been off for a very long time imo. Becoming inconsistent.

 

[BusiTheKing]

He can't produce a dangerous cross to safe his life. Gets better service than any fullback in the world. We're literally leaving Dest by himself with 3 opponents while Alba gets 3 playmakers in gravitating to his area. And he can't fucking hit a teammate in the box.

 

[serghei]

Let's just say that if Alba was a character in The Count of Monte Cristo, he'd have been Baptistin.

 

[BusiTheKing]

There is an issue in how often our attacks cultimate with a pass in from Alba and everything comes to rely on his ability to hit a teammate.

4 our of 10 times he puts it right into the legs of the nearest defender. Another 4 out of 10 is a pass back to Messi no matter how many opponents is around him. That one hasn't resulted in a goal in what, a year?

Granted it's not completely his fault. Our runs into the box leave much to be desired. Very rarely do we have someone in all the positions you want: front post (although Braithwaite is starting to show op there), back post, middle, box, trailing run.

Yeah that Messi to Alba cross-field ball, then Alba cutback got sussed out at the end of 2018. Bit worrying we still see that attempted several times a game. Alba has had a few good games this season though but overall he's declined ever since his contract extension was announced.
