Sergi Roberto

[Windhook]

I was a bit stressed at the beginning of the game. Looks like he's learned to position himself really well on the right. Marcelo's tricks didn't work at all today. Second half CR7 moved to the center leaving Sergi Roberto completely free to rush forward. It is somebody's tactical mistake in the end - Zidane or Cristiano, don't care much.

this man plays his heart out,fantastic match

 

[Neeraj]

I love him. What a game. What a player. Give this guy a new contract TODAY.

Big game player he is. Ice in his veins. Imagine if he played in the midfield. Coutinho/Iniesta- Busi- Bob sorted

This man is becoming less of a squad player with every game. Seems like a reliable force in big games.
If he was better on taking on defenders in 1 on 1's he would be shy of world class.

If there's one thing I wish it's for him to be a bit more combative when it comes to defending. I feel like there's several occasions he should be a bit more aggressive instead of backing up and giving the guy room but other than that he's improving.

Big game player.

Can always count on him to do something special.

Becoming less of a squad player and more of a legend.

Completely agree. He doesn't have the personality of an agressive defender because he's not a defender yet. He's still learning the process but he's a very good player.
I like when he runs with the ball, really mastering this aspect of the game.

He has the talent but perhaps lacks the ego to reach the elite level. Hopefully his confidence will continue to grow with every big moment that goes his way.

If Roberto had a Suárez / Ronaldo / Alves type of personality then his career would have grown at a faster rate. As things currently stand however, he’s not doing too bad at all.

The thing is that when Semedo came on, he absolutely shat on RM's midfield in every aspect. Would love to see him in RCM position again.

this. once Semedo is trusted and nails down that RB position Bob needs to be starting in midfield. never thought i'd say that but hes more than a squad player these days

Yeah at the moment I think he doesn't feel like he has the confidence yet to go all in and be aggressive when needed. But in time I think he will eventually get more confident in that area.

He will be what Oscar De Marcos was to Valverde at Bilbao, except Roberto is definitely a lot more talented than Marcos is. I think the manager change will be a god send to Bob in terms of improving his overall defensive skill set which seems to be the case so far this season.

Lucho laid down the foundation back in 2015/16 and the 16/17 it seems fitting to have Valverde continue to shape Roberto even more.

The flipside is that if he had a Ronaldo / Alves type of personality he would have left.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Man's not hot.

 

[Nothanks]

well yeah he played better once semedo came in, madrid was down 1 man
he bossed it as RB when going forward

 

[unknowngenius10]

The white, non violent, right footed Marcelo, but better!
