Nelson Semedo

[CatalinR10]

nice assist

 

[ThwiX]

Very good game.

Beast. You can easily see how confident he is on the ball when attackers press him. Showed some nice skills and in the 2nd half you could find him more and more attacking which resulted in an assist.

All this guy needs is a solid run of games like many said when Valverde rotated him with Roberto.

Making him the first choice RB benefited both him and Roberto, and the team as well consequently. He is clearly more confident, and Roberto is much better in midfield.

Took Valverde 2 years to finally make that decision. And we're still not even sure that he sees it

 

[Alik]

One assist for him in RB and another for Roberto at CM. As things should be.

Actually Bob had two. The second was a simple pass, but an assist is an assist.

If Semedo had better end product he would get a shitload of assists. Something he need to improve on.

 

[Vahue]

So last week he was a terrible player and now he's good again?

Yea, his speed allows him to get in good positions very fast, and he is actually talented in the dribbling area. But end product is all over the place. Either he over hits the cross, or delays it too long or the direction and height is messed up.

Most sensible people realised this about a year ago. Why has it taken Valverde so long?

Yes.
He is fast.
He can kinda dribble around the box.

But then, when he makes a good dribble, as if he is totally scared or something and he just hits the ball in some direction without any logic.

It seems as if he has very low confidence in attacking actions.

Needed two catastrophic meltdowns in the CL to realize the shitshow of a pairing Busi-Rakitic have become and how undynamic both of them were.

Adding someone who has legs and dynamism like Roberto to the Midfield and Semedo as our starting RB could help come a long way in solving that issue.

Yep. Let's see his next games. If he builds up on this or not.

In typical barcaforum fashion.
