Preseason US Tour 2018

[God Serena]

I'd have rather seen Xavi Simons play on the (whatever Vidal was playing) than Vidal. Or maybe even Messi's son Thiago. Or Mateo.

 

[serghei]

I like Lenget. Roberto's been great as well.

Munir and Vidal are atrocious, no wonder we lack in attack.

I'd change Vidal for Puig, Rafinha on the wing. He's been very good.

Arthur needs to step it up, he's solid, works hard, covers ground but needs to get the ball going.

Fine altogether. Started very well.

True. Vidal and Munir don't take on players. Malcom can, but Roma gravitates more on that side in their defense, so Semedo and Malcom simply ran into more traffic than Cucurella and Vidal. It's half amusing how good this Roma side prepared this game.

Hulk?

Half amusing? They're playing our reserves like this is a Clasico

 

[jairzinho]

Yea I’d like to see Arthur playing more vertical passes aswell but maybe he isn’t seeing much movement in front of him. Vidal and Munir are hardly making any kind of runs into space.

 

[KingMessi]

Munir is a very weak focal point/number 9.

Not Barca a quality. He doesn't pose a threat and doesn't have it.

Agreed. He's too scrawny. Munir is one of our players who actually should bulk up.

 

[God Serena]

Hulk?

That dog has seen some shit, trying to play footie with Lio. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

[BBZ8800]

Vidal should be subbed, spent more time arguign then playing football.
Arthur played ok, but playing a bit to safe. Maybe he does it on purpose.
He plays a little bit to far up imo, he should play further down in the role Roberto plays.
I think Valverde has done it on purpose though since Roberto has more experiance in the playingstyle.

Roberto is a good Cdm.
Fast, mobile, works hard and releases the ball fast.

Arthur would hold the ball too long.
Plus, Roberto is way more direct in transition.

For me, Roberto is the best player in these two matches. Cdm suits him more than Cm.
He is offering the highest level of pace, work and fight in our midfield.

 

[KingMessi]

CDM suits him more than CM you mean.

 

[Jakabor]

Yes, Roberto is excellent as CDM.

He should be playing backup RB, backup CDM and backup CM.

 

[God Serena]

CDM suits him more than CM you mean.

No, he knows damn well what he said and he intends to confuse us.

 

[BBZ8800]

CDM suits him more than CM you mean.

Yes.
I would like to see Roberto instead of Busi with our full lineup in some matches to see whether our play will be faster.

Just to test some things about pace and directness.

 

[Icarium]

Yes. He is our squad player. I don't know if he is happy with that but he is a great value to the squad.

 

[Joan]

I'd like to see Roberto as a CM in the 2nd half since he progresses the ball well. One of the best in the squad in that regard. Would be interesting to see the change. But nonetheless, doing brilliant job as a CDM.

Just to test some things.

 

[xXKonan]

More sauce on that Left hand side now with Ballou and Miranda.
