Alex Sandro (230 Viewers)

What fullback comes even close to him ?

Not many at left-back, but when taking out the Juve bias and taking in the past 3 seasons aswell, Felipe Luis, Marcelo, Alaba, Rodriguez and Alba all rank in the top 5 with him. But when you really think about it, not one has their stock so high as Sandro right now and I wouldn't take any one of those names over Sandro. Only Luis outranks him defensively but no one offers the same balance in both halves of the pitch.

In the first half of the season he was our best player along with Higuain.

If Licht had flair n fancy and was Brazilian he'd be Sandro @Scottish

Alex Sandro has learned so much about grit from the Swiss express

Marcelo had a cracking game yesterday and from what i see Felipe Luis had an assist. Now Sandro needs to top that.

Only Marcelo and Alaba come close to him IMO. But Alex Sandro is the most balanced out of all the LBs you mentioned IMO.

Barca barely even tried to trouble him tonight. Should be quite a testament to how much he showed in the first leg

Shame he fucked up at the end there though, cost us Khedira for the next game.

To be realistic Marcelo is a better player than Sandro,only him .At least for now.Felipe Luis isn't.
One thing piss me off yesterday about him.That negligence when Khedira must get yellow and will be suspended for the next game although Buffon also had some part in it,but Sandro should strike the ball outside of Juve half with a simple shot. Other than that he had a perfect game as usual.Very,very good signing .Paratici is the best scout/transfer manager in the world.

It was almost funny to see everyone notice this. One of the commentators on Belgian tv even went as far as to say Barca just didn't bother with trying to go down Alex Sandro's flank, preferring to go the other way at all times.

Its also down to Neymar being there and being their primary force down the wing.

His only fuck up was getting Khedira yellow carded.

Yeah. It's just Messi on the other wing.

That was Buffons poor pass to him

Nah, he could've still done much better, or at least hoof it away.

Still a great game, errors happen every so often

 

[edgardavids2608]

Physically he is on another level that any other left back right now.

 

[Ocelot]

Depends on what you mean with physicality, but Marcelo was all over the pitch for 120 freaking minutes, unreal stamina on that dude

 

[edgardavids2608]

Stamina is different than physicality. He has the strength and pace to hold off every time of player as well as beat any player with speed or going shoulder to shoulder
