Some players are far of the performance expected

Although the majority of players are surrendering to a level more than acceptable taking into account the few parties contested, exists a reduced group of them that are showing a level very underneath of the expected

The FC Barcelona of Luis Enrique has contested the nine official parties that carries up to now with 23 players, 20 of the first team and three more than the filial (Munir, Sandro and Samper). Besides, still they are missing for debuting until three footballers of the first staff (Luis Suárez, Vermaelen and Masip), that by distinct reasons have not been able to be available during this first stretch of season.

Of the 23 players ranged by Luis Enrique, the majority have offered a performance more than acceptable taking into account that we still are at the beginning of season, however, some still have not reached the level that expects of them. Luckily, this has not done more than beginning and surely many of them attain to reach the optimum point of form anytime. To continuation review the most stood out cases:

Dani Alves: Although the Brazilian has been headline in seven of the nine parties contested to date by the Barça, his level continues far of the that all remember. It suffers excessively in defence, has lost speed and his incorporations to the attack finish too many times in centres that anybody can finish. The little competition that are presenting Montoya and Douglas neither helps.

Jordi Alba: The left lateral theorist headline of the Barça is happening an authentic pothole of game in this start of season. The player has gone out of start in six parties, but the errors against the PSG, where was surpassed constantly, condemned him to the bench against the Ray and caused that Luis Enrique tested with Mathieu in this position, with a result more than satisfactory to the pair that worrisome for the canterano that from now no only will have to litigate the place with Adriano.

Iniesta: Although his performance does not become bad, is full of altibajos. The midfield player manchego does not finish to impose the times and his game as before, besides continues suspending in the appearance goleador. It has to fine-tune the puntería and contribute a lot of in this appearance.

Pedro: The Canarian forward is an of the most worrisome cases of the staff, as it has played seven parties, five like titling. The absence of goals and the feelings that transmits do not invite to the optimsimo, overcoat taking into account the enormous competition that there is in the forward of the Barça. Sandro (2 goals) and Munir (1) are eating him terrain and besides the debut of Luis Suárez every time is more near.

Montoya: In a season where Alves has had foot and half out of the team expected much more leadership of the canterano. It is true that Luis Enrique almost has not given him opportunities -only has played a party-, but also that in the minutes that was on the terrain of game did not give samples to be able to contest the titularity to anybody. It has to step forward already.

Sergi Roberto: His case is very similar to the of Montoya, with the difference that Sergi has contested four parties, one like titling. To the equal that his mate, the feelings that transmits the midfield player are not good and the few minutes that has conceded him Luis Enrique far to help seems that they complicate even more his usual participation in the team.

In this list do not include to Douglas Pereira since, although his debut was something disappointing, deserves to enjoy of more opportunities to check really in that level finds .
