Sergi Roberto

[clemente]

Hes gonna start against Chelsea... Hope there wont be youtube compilations of Hazard running over him

 

[God Serena]

Roberto is gonna shove Hazard so far down into his pocket that he's gonna pass out from a lack of air and not wake up until he's a Real Madrid player.

 

[Xaviniesta]

Wouldn't be surprised if Roberto passes out midgame vs Chelsea. he should have been rested against Eibar. now he's going to be chasing hazard on the counter for 90 mins

Damn. When will Valverde learn...?

Watched first half again. Eibar were all over that right flank. Semedo is the better right back defensively. Valverde will learn this the hard way. Roberto needs to be in midfield.

Semedo is out of CL game. He has.no other option.

Still can't understand why Semedo didn't start the game against Eibar.

Still can't understand why Semedo didn't start the game against Eibar.

It has been commented many times, just read. Many coaches prefer using their top lineup before crucial match to test ideas and get the team work to max and spot issues. Eibar was very good test, away match vs hardworking defense minded team with a few talented fast players. Would not be surprised if they did better than Chelsea can against us. We had week rest before and playing those 2 games is not a problem for professionals.

We have seen how he was abused by better teams, like Real etc.

Roberto is our weak spot in defense. He is great going forward and making plays from defense, but that's his strength. Defensively? I'm not confident.

He wasnt 'abused' by Real and set up the first goal to show why he was getting picked.

The best Barca full backs will always be good attacking players that are decent defensively before the other way round and Semedo has been nothing great defensively so far anyway.

 

[Zincubus]

I like him in midfield but he's a liability on the right side .

Five minutes to go and yet another suicidal side pass that let Chelsea break on us . Luckily it ended up with Moses who must get picked due to his name ...

 

[ThwiX]

Not a fan of his performance. Too many cheap giveaways, and as predicted, he struggled with Chelsea’s pace.

 

[reaper]

Not a Barcelona RB. Every time he plays as a Barca RB - it damages us due to his weaknesses in passing, crossing and attacking. Effort and spirit is there, talent not so much.

He has shown to be far better at those areas than Semedo.

If Roberto is so bad and still the RB says it all about how far Semedo has to go.
