CL | Round 3: Barca - Inter 2-0

[FinBarcelonafan]

She is.

That is possibly the daftest thing Ernie could do. Semedo starting to gain confidence and gets benched. Inter will probably play 3 at the back and we will play 4-4-2, with no wingers to stretch their defense.

At Camp Nou...

Classic Valverde. Semedo plays well and is benched.

I would start Vidal over Rakitic for this one. We all know Rakitic will be starting versus Madrid but why not play him every single match. Rafa over Dembele is no surprise to me. I would give Malcom the nod but Rafa is ahead of him in the pecking order.

Helena isn't that reliable.

But that is a lineup I could see Valverde forking out though.

Imagine Semedo getting benched after his recent run of excellent performances...

 

[Vilarrubi]

Surely Dembélé will start?

 

[Vilarrubi]

Gotta keep that 4th captain happy......

Imagine Roberto and Rafinha starting! Dear Lord this guy is the worst manager EVER! I truly can't stand him.

I wouldn't expect Valverde to outright bench Semedo. He is type of guy that will put Roberto as a CM or DM first , then proceed to sub off Semedo for a midfielder , so that Roberto can be moved to the RB position.Then finally bench Semedo either the next game or the game after that but seeing as the Clasico is this week , I expect him to do it this game.

Roberto will start, continuing to build his endurance, which is needed so that two RBs can be in shape to be available for starting duty. Roberto will need to be subbed, so Semedo should still get a valuable opportunity to impress today. The interesting decision for starting RB will be el clasico. That is when Valverde needs to make his decision about this position.

Some rotation is required for these next two games. Surely the Inter games are the best opportunities to get the most out of Rafinha.

We have 2 true wingers? Why starting a midfielder instead at Camp Nou? I agree that sometimes we need to be conservative, but a CL group game at Camp Nou?!? Cmon.

 

[xXKonan]

Valverde managed to make the right side even more shittier.

 

[Devils]

We might just have the worst manager in the history of football.

 

[Total-Football]

damn right.. no dembele..

 

[messi2140]

Wow did not expect that, thought he would shove Roberto as rb in a more sneaky way.

 

[wisconsincule]

Why must Rakitic start every single fucking game. Play fucking Vidal you moron.
