That happens when you're friends with the coach...

It was heavily reported last summer that Alemany tried to get rid of him. Wonder if he'll try again this summer.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

If he doesn't make his runs in offense he is useless.

Unlikely.

Xavi probably thinks he is best LB in world or some shite.

I agree, although sometimes you just have to make the right decisions even if the manager doesn't approve of it.

The reality is that we still don't have a better lb than him, so we need to be ready to spend and get replacements. I don't like his performance but we're in a tight spot

Probably because we've never invested in signing a player that can actually replace him and push him. Instead we've either signed no one or bench fodder leading to him getting complacent and us losing money.

We keep signing duds from clubs like Betis and its no wonder the fucker is still here.

This club's for some reason convinced themselves into thinking we won't survive without players like Alba, Busquets, ter Stegen, Pique.

Well......actually invest money into proper replacements and we'll be okay.

ter Stegen's the weirdest one out of all them. Dude's German and they've stuck by him like he's their mother despite his constant disaster classes over the past 5 years.

 

[Birdy]

Such an embarrassment of a player!

Two clear-cut chances (xG> 0.35) for Sociedad because of him
Whenever there is a semi-important game, you know the opposition is scoring or missing big chance because of him.

We seriously need a LB not for 'depth', but to bench him in all important games next season

PS: Liverpool had their Alba in Moreno -> similar mold of a player, same 'qualities', same mental issues and defensive frailty.
Edwards and his SD identified Robertson, bought him supposedly for 'depth', and
the rest was history...

 

[Horatio]

Needs to be on his way OOT!

 

[LFCB]

Refuse to celebrate until he's gone.

 

[jamrock]

What a strike.
