Worst player for us is easily Pique and Alves is a close second. Even if we forget that Penalty incident, Pique had no sense of position and many times left the defense unguarded. Couple times I even spotted him in the middle behind Mascherano where both the flanks were wide open. Alves was virtually absent from our defense and both Ronaldo and Marcelo had a field day. Mathieu wasn't much helpful up in the pitch as his dribbling skills are limited, would have preferred him at the CB instead of Pique and Alba/Adriano could help much better in attacking. Xavi and Iniesta both had a bad game which is surprising. Busquets didn't look confident, probably not 100% match fit mentally. Messi was less than average. Top 3 from our side would be Neymer, Suarez and Mascherano and that's saying something. I didn't expect much from Suarez considering its his 1st real game in months and he actually made a very crucial pass which lead to our only goal. People give excuse of experience when not playing Sandro/Munir but tell me what better does Pedro provide ? At least those two kids are hungry.
Lucho's tactics didn't seem very useful but he'll learn and adjust. I would have preferred Mascherano,Rakitic and Iniesta to start in mid. Mathieu-Bartra in CB and Adriano/Alba in wing backs.
