I think he had his ups and downs tonight... I wouldn't say excellent, but good enough game by him...

First half was poor. Second half much better.
El Ghazi created a lot of occasions from his side.

I only watched from the 60th min on, and he looked really poor and wasteful. Was quite frustrated with his play.

I think he did great. Covered a lot of space and I very much liked his tenacity.

He was solid defensively today. He bailed us out a couple of times. I was worried he would get send off, but he did fine after all.

One of our best players tonight. He made a number of vital challenges/interceptions in defence and he was full of energy throughout.

I really don't understand the need for him and Alves, none of them create enough offense to justify playing over and over. Both get rag dolled due to their weak stature.

Just covert Masche or Bartra into RB and play Mathieu or Verm (next year) at LB.

Alba was our best defender tonight. In no way did he get "rag dolled". We put Mathieu at left back versus Madrid and he didn't look comfortable at all. Just because a player is more physical and a good centre back it doesn't mean they'll automatically make us more solid if they play at full back. They could just as easily struggle in the position and actually weaken us.

I agree, too many times he gave away possession cheaply

He masks alot of his failure with his speed. Yeah it's great that he can catch up to people but it's because he runs like a headless chicken on offense and gets caught up field.

It wasn't just him using his speed to catch people. He covered for other defenders last night as well. There were a couple of occasions that would have resulted in good chances for Ajax if it wasn't for Jordi intercepting.Yes, his speed helped him in these situations but he positioned himself well also.
