Super Strugglers: 3 Barcelona Stars Who Have Let Their Manager Down Big Time This Season

3. Paco Alcacer

Another summer arrival from Valencia for a huge sum of money, Alcacer has been a failure as well. It was always going to be difficult for a striker, to break into the first-team that has the fearsome trio of Messi-Suarez-Neymar upfront. On the whole,  23-year old Spaniard has been a major let down.

Paco Alcacer, who had emerged as a fine prospect with Valencia in the past seasons, has scored just twice for Barcelona this term and has struggled to capitalize on the limited opportunities that he has had. It would not even be surprising to see him depart in the summer. The Spanish international doesn’t fit into the way Barcelona operate and as a result, it has raised huge doubts over the transfer acumen of Enrique. Instead of improving other much-needed positions like that of a right-back, he invested heavily on a player who doesn’t fit into the scheme of things.

Alcacer doesn't suit the Barcelona philosophy.
