Sergi Roberto

[barcanuck]

Good to see him get a trot out there ! Props to Tata for that

It was a very close game, had we got 2 or 3 goals, he would've been on for like 20+ minutes.

 

[oz187]

The fact he got 10 minutes at the end of a tight away game in only the second game of the season shows the management have confidence in him

 

[CatalinR10]

Since Xavi isn't playing tonight , he should get 10-20 minutes.

 

[Ronnie10]

By the way Roberto was called for Spain U21 together with S.Gomez.

 

[CatalinR10]

Once again he didn't make the final match squad. I was expecting him to get more minutes by now .

Maybe in Copa Del Rey

When a team is able to bench Iniesta and still field a midfield consisting of Song-Fàbregas-Xavi you know it's going to be hard for a youngster to get a shot. It's the reason Thiago left and I'm sure it's going to be the reason why some other youngsters will have to leave as well in the near future.

I think many of us were "seduced" by Tata playing Sergi, Montoya, Bartra and others in preseason games. Since La Liga started, it's become clear who Tata's priorities are.

 

[Zuess99]

Fuck its only been 5 games. His time will come .

Maybe, maybe not. Xavi's time will be up in 2 seasons time and we really don't have such talent coming up - Sergio looks alright, but not really that special. Samper is the other one that could break through, but by the time he would be introduced Xavi will probably be retired.

Seems like JDS is getting the nod more than him. Looks like Tata sees more in JDS than in S.Roberto.

Yup, I'm also pretty sure that's the way it is. Not necessarily that he has a higher opinion of JdS, but that he sees him as the first option between the two.

He can try some of them, specially in home games against weaker teams.

lol they'll play when its appropriate.

its actually pretty common that young players get more time in preseason than when things matter.
