Paco Alcácer

Fuck his age. . . Lets forcefully sell him to China, to recoup funds spent.

Oof. Talk about a poor choice of words.

 

[Falcao]

I really like his movement. He should be given more of a chance especially when you consider how badly Suarez has been stinking up the pitch recently.

That shot straight to the keeper

Both Paco and Suarez will always have inconsistent performances for Barca as long as we keep playing this system.

They are both pure No.9's so they need a midfield to create chances for them. It does not help playing in front of a dead midfield that has lost it's ability to generate goal scoring opportunities.

Imagine if Suarez played for us during the peak of the Iniesta-Busi-Xavi days. We would have been so dominant that it would be borderline cheating.

Paco and Suarez straight to the keeper shots have nothing to do with the system. Composure problem. Especially Paco Alcacer, the guy was fantastic for Valencia, but there was no pressure on him at this club. This season, new club, new teammates, a lot of transfer money involved and we see a frustrated Paco. I hope he will overcome this and start playing with the same confidence he had in Valencia.

Munir is much better than him, we need 5 players as soon as possible

 

[Richard.H]

If we do bring back Munir and Deulofeu like the papers say, then there is simply no room for him. No way you can rotate that many attackers. We could still get a decent amount of cash for him. He has shown quite a few bright spots as opposed to Gomes.

Not sure I agree with this part. In our peak, we had a fluid system with Tiki-Taka, smooth passing and movement which started in defence, picked up in midfield and ended with our forwards. We had MVP upfront, with their slick 1-2's and walking the ball into the net often. Suarez would stick out like a sore thumb in that team, where everyone could pass on a level not seen ever before. He'd screw up pretty much every play.

Right now, the play is completely chaotic and very often the ball is just booted to him or lands to him through a Messi or Neymar pass, and he just has to finish. This works a lot better for him. You can see how badly he screws up plays where he is expected to put delicate passes or receive the ball with a light touch and pinpoint runners and deliver.

Every now and then he has an amazing assist, but you can tell they are more fluke than genuine skill; okay fluke seems harsh, we are talking about a world class player here, what I mean is, he has a myriad number of poor passes, touches, etc. before he gets one right. Any other player would not get the leeway he gets in this regard. It's just that he has shown what a quality striker he is, getting goals out of nothing, which justifies his place in the lineup. He has been very very poor of late though, and I thought he was our worst player on the pitch against Madrid.

Disagree with Suarez, he's not a pure #9 for him. He almost won Liverpool a league title and won golden boot that year with their midfield

Just watched the game, and contrary to most people I liked what I have seen from him
His off the ball movements now is on point,he knows when to make the pass and he is aware of both where he is and where his teammates is. He missed a chance that he should score but it wasn't as easy as I though it will be from the comments here.
Earlier this season he was completely lost, now he makes all the right decision and all he needs is to step up his finishing and we have a good back up 9 in our hands. He joined a totally different system with no preseason after being coached by Neville
With new coach, preseason, one year with us I expect much better player next year. Think it would be mistake if we shipped him in summer.

 

[God Serena]

I woke up this morning and I realized I dislike Paco a whole lot less than I used to. His improvement is really growing on me even if I still think he's somewhat shit.

 

[Raketa10]

He has improved immensely...

 

[booge]

He has improved immensely...

Neymar is not good for messi. Messi looks and wastes alot of potential assists on neymar.

Since Paco has been in, the balance has been alot better. Honestly I would keep Paco messi and Suarez and watch them goals go in.

 

[xXKonan]

He's a different player than he was at the start of the season without a doubt. He's more confident, and he's working harder off the ball and to get into positioning. Earlier in the season he looked lost and his finishing when he got the chances wasn't very good.

Quite the turnaround in his overall game.
