Daniel Alves

[DonAK]

You obviously need a solid alternative to Alves, so...Ivanovic in January?

Sergi Roberto and Aleix Vidal

Ivanovic would also be a great backup as cb, go for it

I heard Real's Two main RBs are injured. Imagine the Arbeloa-Ivanovic Hijinks

Horrible start, I'll blame Rayo's goal on him.

1. He was outsprint by Bebe and Mathieu was forced to launch the ball away, which led to a corner for the away team.

2. He allowed Guerra to score when didn't mark him enough.

At this point I'd even start Douglas ahead of Dani.

 

[ThwiX]

Maybe not Douglas, but definitely Roberto.

 

[Ustari]

No way in hell Douglas starting over everyone else

Really sad about his performances, looks like he played for his contract and checked back out again.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Dani's got no pace left. He anticipated the through ball on the first goal but still got wrecked as badly as the infamous bartra-bale case.

He is a better suited as a RCM now. We could try him there when Raki gets a rest, with Roberto as RB of course. But even then most of the perks come from his connexion with Messi, so...

Past season was demanding, Copa America and then back at business with Barca & Qualifiers.

I agree, he looks gassed out

Or he is simply old. I think he might be sold next season, or even given away for free. His salary is quite high and if Vidal&Roberto perform well, there would be no need for 3 RBs. I also agree he should be tried as CM.

 

[serghei]

Very much like Pique, he's in awful form. Both need to get back or they could use some time on the bench, especially since Vermaelen and Roberto have proved they can be trusted.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Is it me or does his pace seem to have eluded him just lately?

 

[Neeraj]

I thought he couldn't get worse, but Dani never disappoints of late.
