Preseason US Tour 2018

[Joan]

Hope Sevilla's asleep.

 

[xXKonan]

The fee for Vidal is decreasing as we speak.

 

[Horatio]

Vidal is awful.

 

[Givenchy]

Vidal.. no words.

 

[serghei]

Lacking some directness in the final third. Malcom started on fire but he's kind of disappeared from the game after min 20 or so. With the amount of time we spent near their box, with our attacking superstars, this game would be done and dusted by now.

 

[Trickykid]

Vidal is such a wierd player - he was all over the pitch today, playing false everything. I really fucking hope that was the last I ever saw of him in blaugrana.

 

[mc_lovin]

vidal is surely gone? acts like the top dog this game (taking freekicks, holding the ball...).

 

[Jakabor]

Why the fuck is Vidal allowed to roam all over the pitch, taking free kicks and ruining the attacking play?

FFS Valverde, show some fucking balls and bench this idiot.

 

[Ascom]

Let's not be too tough on Vidal. He is playing completely out of position.

A few notes: Semedo seems to be improving but i would like to see him really tested in the defense.
Cucu needs to improve a lot in terms of defense. He is caught too many times out of position.
Arthur has been solid although avoiding risk.
Rafinha amazing. He was good in the other game and this game he is showing a very solid performance too. It's a mistake selling him.

 

[SeloBarca]

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.

 

[jairzinho]

Lacking some directness in the final third. Malcom started on fire but he's kind of disappeared from the game after min 20 or so.

Accurate summary.
We’re keeping the ball well but running out of ideas in the final third.
The first 20 minutes or so Malcolm was popping up like crazy everywhere, his movement off the ball was good, and then he started hugging the touchline and getting involved less

 

[Joan]

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.

 

[Jakabor]

Munir is a very weak focal point/number 9.

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

 

[xXKonan]

Arthur played well but I think part of the reason he's playing it safe is him trying get accustomed against the teams he's playing so far. Roma played a full bore lineup in the Midfield and he still held his own even if he's lacking a bit of creativity.

 

[DonAK]

Thought Semedo did quite well.
