Sergi Roberto

[KingMessi]

Didn't he play backup for Busi a few times last season ? I remember a few games iirc when Busi was out for injury against Villareal, no?

Eibar as well.

 

[barcafan161]

He's certainly had better games but don't think many were on yesterday.

 

[Vlom]

Eibar as well.

Exactly that game yes, in ipurua, he played DM and he played great iirc.

 

[xXKonan]

He played well as a DM in other games this season as well.

I mean it's obvious no one can completely Busi but we cannot risk playing him so much due to the chance of injuries. Roberto didn't have a great game today obviously but I've said it before It seems Lucho,is trying to convert Roberto into a reliable back up to Busi.

I mean you see what happens when we play Mascherano at DM, it just feels like the Midfield is being strangled and his style just doesn't fit our DM Profile, But he does however have other uses at CB which he has Excelled for us for the past 6 years or so.

Self Explanatory in regards to Arda,Iniesta and Rafinha, and Rakitic I don't think he would be a good fit here either as a single Pivot. Lucho assessed the Midfield options and feels like Roberto is the one that can Deputize Busi at this time.

I trust Lucho in regards to all this and I hope Roberto can get better and better as time goes on as a DM.

 

[Behrox]

the whole team was chaotic for much of the match. I'd put it in the outlier bin, this performance.

He's probably asking that because Roberto has been Busi's consistent backup since the start of the season and we're almost in March now.

Is that a Bartra face swap ?

At first I didn't even notice anything unusual.

 

[Barcaman]

Can't tell although it looks familiar.

I could probably crack it but then I would have to stare more and I don't want to turn gay.

 

[AnnieSureshot]

You think he might be your type?

Marc Bob?

 

[xXKonan]

Had an up and down game today I thought.

First half he struggled to get in the game but in the second half he improved and even had one of his shots blocked by Suarez. I'm guessing he will play vs Rayo as well.

 

[barcanuck]

I thought he was great. Really would love to see him play right back when Dani is resting. He can really cross.
