let's be honest - he's a good back-up!
i'd rather have him than put jones, Smalling or valencia on the right if rafael ever gets suspended or injured.

dani alves can still do a job.....

coogar:


we should replace rooney with oshoala. she had discovered her football intelligence unlike the last tournament where she just ran for 90 mins.

coogar:


i was working late at home one night & i learnt from this thread that nigeria females were playing. i scanned through the channels & eurosport were on it in the middle of the night.

i ran to the kitchen to take 2 cans of beer expecting to cap the night off with a victory only to see our girls get beaten by a less-talented squad of hard working women. oshoala was a disgrace in that game but she wasn't alone - another idiöt who wanted all the glory for herself completed the aroma of shyte that night.



he's still better at defending than any of jones, smalling & valencia as a right back. criticise him all you want, they conceded their first league goal this season tonight & that's because they faced a more quality & better-prepared side.

StarBoard:

Which job?
The one that Isco was dribbling like he wasn't there or giving up the ball anyhow?
Mba.
Alves is past it by a mile.
He cant even outrun the ball anymore.

As much as they are liabilities, we are used to Jones and co.
Alves is looking for one last payday.

'
She did better intelligently in the U-20 world cup far more than than she did today. Remember too she got a winning goal that was wrongly disallowed due to your babe Ayila.

You need to go look at the video of her play in the U-20 world cup. If her creativity here at the AWC is 7/10, in the world cup it was 9.99/10. What Neymar did today against Madrid was a child's play to how Oshoala dismantled defence before she scored her goal at the U-20.
But wait, we can use her to replace RVP and Mata together. You know she is very versatile.

coogar:


so wait a minute.....
if barca had any of valencia, jones or smalling today, they wouldn't have lost? the same madrid that destroyed bayern at allianz arena? i cannot use tonight's game to criticise alves after keeping 8 consecutive clean sheets in the league before tonight.

that madrid side would humiliate any team in europe.

coogar:



ayila disallowed the goal? ayila na referee?



nah, let her replace rooney.

Alves cannot add anything new even as back up to Rafael at United. Phil Jones and his gorilla style and co are on the same level with Alves right now at right back. No be by tatoo and beard.

my point is if you cannot get any improvements there is no need to add anything else.
Alves was all over the place today. Useless Marcelo was bypassing him at will. Is this the right back up for Rafael?
Real would maul anybody but you forget that they have conceded 4 to Osasuna (?) and lost two la liga games so far. They are not the same side without Alonso or Khedira. As for the clean sheet, how wont you keep clean sheet against Rayo Vallevano Elche and co? How come they didnt keep the same clean sheet vs PSG in the champions league if they were thst good defensively? The way Pique played today was a disgrace to top-flight defending. Even Evans is better than him

elampiro:


How can you use such term to describe a player of the tournament and highest goal scorer? Someone who scored what would have been a winning goal but was wrongly cancelled by inexperience last woman and Ayila's foolishness.

mcfarlin:


Bros please try and be objective osoala lost us that game by playing to the gallery.

She forgot that she ought to put the team first and in conjunction with that racist/biased ref sold the game to the undeserving germans!

elampiro:


Ayila gave ref the reason (excuse) to disallow the goal.

there were other instances where oshoala was selfish too. let's just say both of them wanted to score in the final & they completely forgot to put the team first.

zabaleta and ivanovic are so much better defensively than alves i will have to give the nod to them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8_xB_x585E

This was in the Semi Finals when Falconets dismantled one of the tournament favourite. Oshoala scored 4 and assisted 2. See intelligence mehh and women football at it's finest. Even though this video highlight cut off some of Oshoala's dribblings and runs before she assisted or scored, you would still see what performance she gave. She did magnificently well too in previous matches.

coogar:


evans better than alves? evans(CB) better than dani alves(RB)? come on, you are pushing it now. rafael can even learn one or two things from a seasoned right back like alves. alves is better than any RB in england & that includes zabaleta, ivanovic & sagna.

SIRcumalot:
I still don't see barca releasing Alves especially with the whole transfer ban issue.
