I've seen their games against Barca and Real. I remember Robben giving him trouble in the reverse game, he was absolutely raped by Robben in that game but he was very good going forward. But i also remember him putting a very good defensive game against both Hleb in the second leg and Messi in the first leg*
He is an ok defender i guess, but going forward the guy is a beast. He formed(at least last season) a deadly partnership with Guardado on the left. He's a good dribbler, and has got a good cross on him. Decent option from what i've seen.
* Even though Deportivo lost by a big margin in that game, Filipe put in a strong performance against Messi.
