Definitely. He's done so well while Abidal has been out. Such an important assist tonight.

I'd still trust Abi more in bigger games.
The calamity brazilian 'll never be our first choice, I'll guarantee you that. If Pep rated him so much, Abi wouldn't 've been rushed back from injury for the Inter game. If there is even the slighest chance for Abi to play, he'll almost always start ahead of the C.brazilian.(except injuries, rested or CDR)
we'll be in the market for a first choice LB if the frenchie left us. The C.b 'll always be a bench warmer at our club. He is defensively awful and average going forward. Basically, he's neither as good as Alves in attack or solid like Abi in defense...Not quality to be our first choice. Doesn't offer much pace or strength on the ball, weak in the air and at defending setpieces, gets way too easily done for pace & his positioning is a suspect most of the times. The only thing he is a tad bit better than Abi is his interplay with his winger & crossing but the latter has shown improvement in that area this season. He is much better than the brazilian in everything else.
I hope Abi is back soon cause he offers a lot more solidity and balance to our backline which the C.B has so far failed to do so...one of the reasons our defense has looked a bit shaky recently apart from the mismatch CB pairing.

Your Blinded by dislike of the guy, Name one performance since Maxi where has been "calamity"
hes been nothing but solid..
I agree hes a back up atm... but hes been a very good one....
Just because i don't rate him like some of you do, doesn't mean i dislike him.
You want one - Tenerife(away)....and that's against one of the weakest sides in la liga.
yep and i'm Scarlett Johansson
He is backup but barca can afford a better backup.

Maxwell gets the job done.
The difference for me is mindstate.
Maxwell is reluctant to take on players more physical than himself and loses a step along the way.
Abidal is fearless and stronger. Looks more experienced and relaxed on defense. Lights out.
Still I'm happy with Maxy for his contributions so far.

Maxwell has been playing great recently, everyone who says otherwise is just
Agreed. Zanela and Maxwell is just like Jordzi and Abidal.
Before Inter game Maxi barely used his shoes on a pitch, but since Abi is injured Maxi gave nothing less than Abi. And to add more Maxi is so static that you won't need to worry about his performances.
Abi --> Maxi, but criticizing Maxwell, especially in his current form run is just weird.

messi owned valencia and zaragoza

Yeah... I agree with dm. Maxwell has been performing well as of late and has done an admirably job covering for Abidal.
I still hope Abidal gets back soon, he was having a great season.
Anyways, our LB situation seems to be in pretty good shape until injury strikes anyways
