Sergi Roberto

[DonAndres]

I think the lack of service might've just been an instruction to avoid crossing plays, contrary to how we played (unsuccessfully) in our last 2 meetings with Malaga where we had several blind crosses. Since Roberto was at RB, the closest he could get to attacking penetration against Malaga's bus would be overlapping for a wide play which is why he wasn't a priority for much of the game. Alba too was looking for cutbacks much more often than actual crosses.

Assists, Serigo. If you can make some assists even hater won't hate.

 

[Ustari]

he was unlucky not to have an assist if Angeleri didn't intercept his cross

 

[Behrox]

If anything, deserved more service today. Dangerous when open, and quick to recirculate when covered. Looked like the quickest carpet passer on the pitch today, fast balls to feet.

glad I'm not the only one who thought that. His crosses are mostly dangerous and should be fed more balls in situations where the middle is too packed.

He's done well so far, but lets face it, the Atletico match is the real barometer here. Hope he does well.

Yep. Atletico will be a good test for him and unlike Malaga they attack

He is good but sometimes he is slow to move when opposition attacks. His pace is not an issue but his reactions can be a little quicker when in defending.

He's played what? 2-3 games at RB? and has performed better than most RBs in the world. He'll learn

Dunno why but I feel compelled to point that out.

There is no way he can be getting his first RB experience at this level, and be perfect defensively. Rak was dragging last game, he'll need to help cover better for Sergi. Pique will be able to cover better than his substitutes.

Alves is brilliant defending when he is caught way, way up field where he usually hangs out on offense. He jumps right in on the man with the ball, either recovers the ball, bothers the opponent enough to slow the counter or completely stops it by fouling. And he very rarely gets yellows for these tactical fouls.

Sergi Roberto is injured and it's not yet clear if he'll be able to play the league game against Atletico next week. [md]

[Luftstalag14]

We have no RB left. Try Bartra?

 

[God Serena]
