Continuing to be very happy for both Alexis and Cesc. Great work by both on all 3 goals. EDIT - all 4 goals!!!!!
WTF IS GOING ON 4-0 AND WE DONT HAVE MESSI, PEDRO, XAVI, PUYOL, MASCH, VILLA OMG and Sanchez scoring 2 I am having an heart attack
Only if Cesc could play any other position as well as he plays Messi's position Glad to see Cesc and Alexis playing well though
I think we were 5-0 against Almería before the 37th minute in Pep's first season! But that was with Messi, Eto'o, Alves and Henry scoring... I'm loving this, I was about to write about Alexis missing a chance in front of goal when he had the goal at his mercy but didn't shoot. I guess i'll just leave it for now and let him enjoy. Deleufeu for Iniesta and swap positions with Cesc?
Yes, it is kind of sad that Cesc, Alexis, and Rafinha are all at their best playing Messi's false 9 / trequartista, on the other hand it may take 2 or 3 to fill Messi's shoes.
Jonathan is most obvious, he gets to play against his brother and with his brother from another mother, Thiago. Other possibility is Busquets subs in, Song plays attacking midfield. here's the bench: Oier, Abidal, Alba, Busquets, Jonathan, Villa, Deulofeu
Great first half. Fab and Alexis running the show. The ball movement was fluid the entire half, and the priority now is to sub Iniesta out. I agree with Viscaelbarca's suggestion.
If Alexis could improve his finishing he would be a top top player. He has performed very well in most other aspects. Question is can he consistently finish.
So far, this performance makes me much more optimistic of our chances against PSG with Messi possibly not playing.
