Look the Semedo fanboys calling it a bad or average game. change the name to Semedo and they will call it a great game....
Have you seen the game?

Roberto was great. Semedo fanclub in serious denial.

Right back is simply Barcelona's weak spot. Neither Roberto or Semedo is terrible there. I think Roberto works with teammates better (not surprising for how long he has been with the club) but not the 1v1 defender.
I think La Liga matches should be split down the middle, if Semedo's team shows a lot more fortitude, than play him in the CL, but it is on Semedo to show the team (practice, which we don't see, and matches, which we do) plays better with him.
To have both Roberto and Semedo as options isn't great, but not terrible either.
I will say I think Roberto is better as an RB than as a midfielder. I think he is top 15 or so in the world at RB, much lower than as a DCM, CM. The drop off from Busi, Rakitic or Vidal (probably willing to include Arthur too) in the middle of the park is pretty big, where as I think it is a little unclear the net benefit whether him or Semedo play at RB.

If this guy somehow keeps being the starter at RB after what we saw in the last few weeks, then fuck this coach, fuck this board, fuck this whole club as long as it's run by these idiots.

We know what's Roberto worth at his best and it's average. We don't know what Semedo is worth at his best because there's no way he peaked while being managed like shit. But even without being at his top, Semedo is a far superior RB to Roberto.

I'm starting to get the feeling that he might not be athletic enough to play as a right back any more. His athleticism and bursting runs with the ball were the things that distinguished him during his first two seasons as a RB, but they gradually became rarer and rarer, and these days you hardly even see them. On top of that, he seems heavy and can't keep up with any wingers nowadays. I remember that he looked as a speed demon when he's first played at RB against Athletic away in the 15-16 season. Perhaps he's gotten too complacent and conservative because he knows that EV will keep playing him. Either way, something is not right with his physical attributes. Anyway, however, we should give Wague a chance, I've been saying it since he has been bought.

Probably using all his energy on a different activity when he's home with his wife.
Can't blame the guy, have you seen her?

Very poor today.
Clearly the weak link but walks into the side as a starter.
