He had a very weak game today. He misplaced some very easy passes way up the pitch so that Getafe could counter. I want to see more progress from this guy before I decide to like him. Still miles away from the level of Alves.
True. A couple of times he played the ball forward and run forward at the same time but the ball got intercepted and all of a sudden he was 5 meters behind the opponent who could easily run into that space. His assist for Messi was also a result of a bad touch. What is it with recent La Masia graduates and their first touch?
I still hope Alves doesn't play against Atleti. Alves hasn't played for ages. And when Alves returns from a long break he usually does some crazy things. As he did against Getafe when he was nowhere for the first goal.
