Exactly, this is just what I wrote after the game. Ancelotti knew if he attacked through the left Alves would not get much help from Neymar (or Xavi) + he would hamper Alves going to much forward even when Barca had the ball because Alves knew they would attack the right side. Jeez, people...

Reus?

don't know if serious?

indeed, I was so nervous on the second - I really thought he would miss it so I went hiding in the kitchen haha

When they had their 20-25 minutes in the first half there were big gaps between midfield and defense, 2-3 players came running at alves many times - it's hard, but I agree he's best when not tested as much as today :) but we also have to give credit to Di Maria and ronaldo, they are of course...

And besides, Di Sciglio will never offer us nearly the same things Alves does. He can hardly dribble 1 player tbh, Alves nutmegs players a couple of times a match. Alves 1 vs 1 skills are up there among the best forwards and AM's like Messi, Iniesta and Neymar - lol, we have half of the worlds...

It's Danilo or Di Sciglio for me, Di Sciglio is a little bit more defensive maybe.

Exactly...

Well, Bartra has not really been trusted and hasn't been given many minutes - why should he sign with a bigger release clause? If he'll step up we ask him to sign a new contract - which won't be a problem because he can only step up of he plays a lot and that would mean he will most probably...

We slowly need to find a better backup for him than Montoya, somebody who could take over after next season (of Dani stays, which I very much hope). But Dani is a really special player, will be difficult to find anybody that comes even close.

I'd take Alexis over Bale for sure. Reus? Don't know - really like him and imo he would do as good as Alexis. Suarez? For RW? No! I'd like Suarez, he's obviously beasting it up - but we would have to change our system to accommodate him.

Hard and important game for Chelsea = no Luiz. Brace yourselves, Sideshow is coming!

Ibra for Ballon d'Or if he continues like this. Of course, I want Messi to win it every year - but if Ibra wins it I wouldn't complain :lol:

Ibra ftw, 2 goals so far tonight and beasting it up! :worthy:

I agree. I don't really see how he would fit in the way we play atm - and also who he would play instead of. I mean we have Xavi (good for at least 1 more season, maybe 2), Cesc and Iniesta for 2 positions - getting Vidal, I just don't know. I still don't think Cesc is cut for the deep laying CM...

Yeez, I'm so tired of the discussions about selling Alves and how we should buy a defensive RB and so on. Alves was and still is the best attacking RB of the latest decade and he still got it. We won't buy a defensive RB, we are Barca we attack! Our defenses is attack, when we have the ball and...

Against Osasuna: Messi, Messi, Messi!!! Iniesta Alves

Ah, ok :) First time I came across something like that...

Strange, I tried to post in this thread an hour ago and it said may post had to be accepted by a moderator? And than it disappeared?
