Seriously? Damn i thought I might get to quote this like a year from now all smug like :lol: On a more serious note, I haven't seen anything that he's particularly good at, when he played DM he left our CBs for dead while Samper was better defensively, Samper is obviously better from a...

inb4 Gunbau ends up being a starting CB for us :lol:

Idk why but for some reason I feel like Rafinha is going to start. Knowing lucho he's probably going to start his crazy rotations soon.

I don't wanna get too arrogant and say it was just because we're clearly the better team but its hard not to say that after watching the game, i'll wait for the classico and see how we play there.

If he cant beat his man in england idk how he's gonna survive in the cl.

I think they had their usual defensive prowess but they just seemed a little toothless in attack, idk maybe greizman isnt up to form yet or maybe Busquets was just really on his game.

Video doesn't show his pass for the goal i think though.

It looks like he got faster, last season it seemed like he could get caught a little too easily but his acceleration looks almost -dare i say- messi-like. Hopefully this season will help him develop his toughness as his decision making is already improving alot.

I think its fatigue cause idk if he's fully gotten over his stamina issues when related to his pressing game here. Works too hard for his own good.

This is so true, when Alves is on form Ronaldo is always invisible. I still think Alves is leagues above him, but the fact that he hasn't even played 10 games at RB and is already putting in these kinds of performances against Atletico of all teams makes me think that if Lucho gives him the...

That pass didnt make any sense, how did he spot rakitic AND manage to bend it between the defenders perfectly into his stride? Jesus Christ.

Him and Rakitic are the best midfield in the world by far right now imo. Not only is his attacking form back to its 2010-2012 peak but he turned into a monster defensively , shurgging the thugs from atletico off the ball like they're nothing. Once he gives us these performances in these big...

He probably remembered the game in the copa where we destroyed them on counters. Neymar and Suarez are ridiculous on those.

And the best part about him is is that this is his what 4th/5th real game as a RB? Imagine him in a year from now with way more experience. :worthy:

That pass to Rakitic might be up there with some of his greatest passes ever, jesus christ man. We need a permanent gif of that that just runs at the top of his thread.

So I guess its official that Roberto is starter material at RB now? I mean it doesn't get much tougher than Atletico. I guess we'll need to wait to see him play against a star winger but at the very least he's solidified his place in th squad today.

Played well, unlucky not to have an assist or two off of suarez. I prefer him in midfield he seems to be less dribble-crazed when playing there and only pulls it out when he needs to.

Upside is we have a great excuse if we lose, and if we do win its a big plus cause that means someone on the squad stepped up.

Teams that have players concentrated at specific clubs tend to do well and just look better overall, both germany and spain in their respective wc wins for example. Edit: Italy in 2006 too.
