Thought he was the best of the midfield trio in the first half, although it doesn't say much. If you play him with Iniesta or Rakitic he is alright in that position.

Clone Pique and put him on instead.

Pique Iniesta Arda

Great game, shining light in all the mess.

Nothing to write home about, but decent all things considered.

Haven't followed our national team this year, do we even have a decent striker right now?

No reason to press there though.

Apparently not called up for the national team.

How many games are Suarez invisible, or plays like crap, the entire time only to score late in the game? As a striker here you don't get the ball often and your chances to score are limited, and Paco is no Suarez and needs time to be able to seize those opportunities and work on his positioning...

Alves knows a thing or two about going hard on instagram.

Thought he did pretty well. Coming on after Paco's performance it's easy to look good, but the team looked much more stable with him.

He didn't have the creativity necessary today. Also made some weird decisions in the final third.

Impact sub, good stuff. Brought the ball forward and did well defensively.

Arda Pique Mascherano

Well he created some chances, but everything else was just garbage.

Roberto Pique Neymar Hm: Turan

Thought he did pretty well second half. Brought the ball forward, but didn't keep it too much to himself, and did great with the goals he was involved in.

These crosses damn..

Do you mean Denis? Rafinha wasn't on the bench if I'm not mistaken. Arda played pretty well against Alavez and has experience with Atletico, I can see an argument for both. But I don't think either Denis or Rafinha would've made a difference, when both Neymar and Suarez didn't play well.

Well it was either Denis or Arda. Arda played pretty well at rw against Alaves, so in my book it was fine getting him on. But really anyone is going to look bad coming on for Messi, especially when the entire team isn't playing up to par.
