Sergi Roberto

[PhilS]

This guy defended the entire field, the whole game. It was like he was given the type of defensive free role that Messi gets on offense, except Roberto can run hard forever.

You can see why his last two coaches have given him so many starts, at so many positions. Some of Barca's permanent starters do not contribute to the defense as much as is needed in the modern game. Roberto makes up for a lot of that, all by himself. On loose balls, 50-50 balls, he has to be the best on this team.

Great game.

 

[Mitchell1978]

Good game but still would love to see him at Rakitic position, i think he can be an improvement there.

 

[CatalinR10]

top pass for the goal

 

[Aryagorn]

He should be played in midfield instead of that useless Rakitic and he would deliver more such passes!

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Should be a starter in midfield.

Iniesta/Denis - Busi - Roberto would be a decent enough midfield to carry us through the season.

Valverde, whatever you do, for the love of god, don't start Rakitic.

 

[SeloBarca]

Hes been bad or very bad in pretty much all the games hes played in midfield.
He plays best in in RB when he gets alot of freedom.

 

[Barcaman]

Dont remember him play that much in midfield.

 

[PhilS]

Was that the pass of the year?

Must play more, any position.

 

[Xaviniesta]

I think his crossing is underrated. I remember him setting up Suárez a couple of times before

He at least finds a target.

 

[SeloBarca]

Dont remember him play that much in midfield.

Kinda says it all
Has played as midfielder 37 games, almost 50%, in the A-team.
But you dont remember much of those games.

One of the guys said to speak in a language people can understand him in.

Roberto replied "He will speak the language he can speak" aka get fucked I can speak any language I want.

 

[Galning]

How is he still not a starter ahead of the likes of Rakitic and Gomes?

 

[PhilS]

As a starter in midfield, the fact is he has not set the world on fire. Some fine games, many just OK. Coming in off the bench to win the game is nothing to sneeze at, let's be grateful.

Please tell me more about how Rakitic and Gomes have set the world on fire from midfield? Roberto deserves a chance.
