Nelson Semedo

[clemente]

He plays fucking 16 year olds on the wing but too insecure to give Wague a shot

Dreadful today. Roberto much better at RB

 

[underoath]

Two games, the Semedo as an absolute starter show it wonders 😂

He was awful tonight... He’s average at best and has never showed anything of worth, it’s not Roberto’s fault he gets moved back to RB...

What exactly?? No lost 1v1?? Almost zero incompleted passes??
What exactly did Roberto better?? That i can answer. Nothing.
In Fact he was the worst player on the pitch.
An absolutly unnessecary sub by valverde. Just sub by position....

 

[Riordon]

He is so bad. I can’t see anything good in him expect his pace. Send him to PSG if they still want him.

Did you miss the part when Semedo cost us a goal and gifted Osasuna the ball three times in a row?

Actually, it is not his fault he is so mediocre in attack. Players like him suffer the most when there is no functioning attacking system in positional play. If we had that, we at least would possess several trained ways of creating a chance, like movement-and-passing drills, so that Semedo for sure knew where to move and what to do. Just do what he is told. But there on the pitch with EV in charge, when we rely on individual brilliance solely, Semedo rarely has a clue what to do with the ball.

I never said Roberto was better, just that I can understand why he plays instead of Semedo... However, that sub was anything but unnecessary, dude had to go...

Yea, he's very much a Kyle Walker type. Very athletic and fast, can do several thinks, but he is a very basic player in terms of vision. The system needs to create plays, not him individually.

Difference between Roberto and Semedo is easy to explain.

Roberto has mediocre basic abilities for the RB position (not very fast, not strong, not very good 1 vs 1). But good secondary abilities thanks to the fact that his vision is better (he is a midfielder after all). Semedo is the opposite. He has the core skills for a RB (fast, strong, hard to beat in 1 vs 1 and a fair dribbler), but his vision is not great.

As I said, he is a Kyle Walker type. Brains isn't his thing, but has good skills that can be put to good use by a top manager who has a drilled system in place.

Another similar player to Semedo is United's new RB, Wan Bissaka. These are players that do their basic job at RB well, but struggle to bring their individual touch on top of that.

This post makes no sense at all...

Right. Think in Liverpool fir example he would shine.

Semedo is getting so much heat because Valverde's brain dead system is build on fullbacks being creators. Valverde-ball is about bypassing midfield and building attacks on the wing.

Fusion Roberto with Semedo and we have a world class right back ;D Problem solved - theres a Cronenberg movie, which should give plenty of advice on the technicalities.

Not nearly perfect, but a complete fullback yes. Roberto isn't as great of a RB offensively as touted.
