I liked how the ref forgot completely about the game and was explaining to Del Piero that the Ref right beside the net did not see the ball cross the line while Man City were on a counter attack :D

you guys realize ADP very rarely hits a poor pass? He's so quick with the ball at his feet that he can manouvere into a better situation to a hit a good pass. Most times when he loses possession is becuz of dribbling...... hardly pass interception. He really spreads the ball well. If we had 2 prolific strikers besides Alex, I'd be tempted to say he would excel in trequartista hole behind 2 strikers. Too bad we don't..

Very well said. Many people don't notice this or don't want to.

The Arab commentator on Al-Jazeera said that the ref was asking Del Piero "How do you do that?" in reference to how well he takes free kicks :p

Absolutely you were right regarding his passing ability,but for the TreQ position i would say:disagree:

Alex is too old for this position,it needs a hardworking man who doesn't tire + a strong physique.Suppose Alex was a TreQ against Man C,how the hell could he match the power of Yaya?
