Marc Bartra

[Alarcón]

He didn't do well for the goal but the least you could expect at a world class tram is if one player makes a mistake another one bails him out... Unfortunately it seems like players like Alves have completely forgotten how to defend

 

[DinhoR10]

One mistake that a good RB would've helped him with , but if it wasn't for him we would have been murdered in the air and he played great best defender overall although
m,asch had the block of the match.

 

[evilhita666]

He is partly to blame for their goal, but I agree Alves shouldn' t have given that much space...

Still, I think he was alright, hopefully he can keep growing as a player...

 

[Galning]

He had a good game overall. Lots of interceptions and won the ball back a bazillion times too.

 

[linetty]

Great game again, just one error that led to a goal though...

 

[JamDav1982]

Had a good game, just needs to learn that he cannot always win the ball of peoples toes and not dive in so much. That is his biggest weakness.

To be fair to him it seems to be about enthusiasm to do well.

 

[CatalinR10]

his mistake led the goal


good game though

 

[e28makaveli]

Getting there. Play him more, so he learns from hims mistakes and see what he is made off. Not as if we have a choice anyway.

If we do sell Alves I'd love to stick Bartra on RB he won all heading duels and would be an awesome defensive RB while Alba pushes up

 

[DinhoR10]

If we do sell Alves I'd love to stick Bartra on RB he won all heading duels and would be an awesome defensive RB while Alba pushes up

And then when he's moved back to CB we can put Ie there and do the same thing for him. Although I think Montoya might just be good enough to make it here.

 

[barcanuck]

Montoya is alright against smaller sides but still not physical enough to handle big matches and cover set pieces like Bartra.

 

[Dan1983]

Had a good game, just a shame about the mistake though.

 

[Ghostmaster]

Yes he made a mistake, but he is learning from his mistakes, he got yellow card for stopping fast counter attack, because now he understands that yellow card is better than goal.

 

[FCBarca]

Yes he made a mistake, but he is learning from his mistakes, he got yellow card for stopping fast counter attack, because now he understands that yellow card is better than goal.

Yeah, he was responsible for the goal in a very Vincent Kompanyish fashion but as others have pointed out, I'd rather he learns & makes these mistakes now than later...I remember Busquets' first season with the first team, can't even recall the number of Caceres type errors he made that led to goals...Rarely see that now...Key is to iron them out and playing builds confidence

Whoever plays at right CB for us, if he's not named Puyol, he's gonna have a real hard time covering Alves' mess.
