If you look at Dest's number of touches normally, compared with Roberto's touches, it's quite astonishing how more often the ball is released to Roberto without any positional advantage. It's complete shit. It's as if we believe Roberto has the playmaking ability to construct attacks from poor positions. As if he's a reference in our attack.
Stop giving him the ball. He'll always be semi-open because he's not a threat on the ball lol. He's slow, can't dribble for shit.
He is not a winger, and Barcelona have no forwards to cross to.
Dest plays very similarly, maybe tries to dribble halfheartedly a bit more, losing the ball more often. He is slower up the pitch than Roberto, Roberto was doing Pedro runs in behind the defence all first half...
If anyone of these two are expected to cover the whole flank, their main task will be to keep the width. A pass out to them will not be threatening or expected to end up in a finish, but will be made in order to force the opponent to move most of the time. I can agree that they might've passed Roberto too much, but the blame shouldn't be on Roberto then.
Busquets made 10+ through balls, I can't remember Frenkie or Ilaix creating much though, neither Messi or Griezmann... Barcelona should have an advantage centrally playing only two wide players, but they are also wasting three players at the back though...
