Lliga | Round 4: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 1-2

[mdenci]

I wouldn't like many rotations today, although I would like to see Paulinho in action from the start, to know what we can expect from him.

We can rotate vs. Eibar at home, bring on Digne, Mascherano and Vidal in def, Andre Gomes, Paulinho and Roberto in mid, Paco and Delofeu in att.

 

[mdenci]

He'll run the team to the ground by December if he continues like this.

Maybe he took note of Enrique's rotations last year and saw that it can be counterproductive when you overdo it. I hope Valverde will find a perfect balance for rotations so that we have no unhappy players, and that all players will be well rested.

 

[Alik]

The only concerns should be Alba (injury-prone) and Iniesta (old) and Messi (who needs to keep up his form throughout the season and we depend even more on him now).

The rest of the squad can keep on playing every match for a while.

 

[dostoevskij]

who is the ref today?

 

[draconifire]

Would love to see Gerrard starting again. Kinda like what he brings to the team.
Woop woop

 

[vinni]

MatchDay!

I want a goal from Dembele today. One from Suarez all well

 

[dostoevskij]

btw i really like the third kit, which will make a debut today!

 

[DonAK]

Same team except for Roberto starting at RB

 

[dostoevskij]

wow, ernesto makes no prisoners at that time of the season, really like that, visca el barca!

 

[hulinat]

5/5 if masche had started

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

That will teach semedo to have a couple of great games

 

[DonAK]

It's a move to please Roberto so he doesn't think of leaving.

Because it makes no sense to play the same line-up and change one player only. Especially when he's done very well.

He need more time to play with Dembele on that right side to build an understanding too, but let's play Roberto at RB instead of in the MF in place of Rakitic.

Roberto at RB?
Watch the Roberto street open up on the right side!

Roberto should leave if his staying means playing him in position he is awful at.

 

[Vilarrubi]

That will teach semedo to have a couple of great games

It's probably the boards decision over a footballing one to try and keep Roberto happy despite Semedo showing much more in 3/4 games at RB than Roberto ever has.


I think Semedo should be given a run of games so he integrates well.. how's he meant to be like Alves like he said he wants to aim for when he gets rotated constantly.

Saying that if we can't beat Getafe with Roberto RB there is something wrong.
