True. This game was just too much for the current Roberto.

Xavi will be angry for you trashing his "greatness" Roberto.

He is normally 5th choice CM in a 4-3-3 for two interior positions after Pedri, Gavi, Kessie, and De Jong. Xavi probably was not thinking we were going to play the 4 midfielders at once as our first-choice tactic this season.
He should not have been put into this position to play as the most advanced midfielder and an attacking third player in a decisive season-defining game, but the change of the system, injuries and suspensions have done it. I like him at CDM more anyway. You cannot expect Roberto to start playing like an offensive midfielder after seasons of being a workhorse (before he started getting injured) and fullback.

Watching Roberto as an "attacking midfielder" he and kessie was the most painful thing I have ever felt.

Not really his fault he was put into a totally alien role.

Not good enough for this type of game, but we already knew that. He's ok as like the 6th midfielder to give others a break in la liga or copa but not more at this point.
Injuries suck, but its also about Xavis forward choices, even with Dembele out we had two forwards on the bench. He could've just played 4-3-3, but he apparently he has so little trust in Ferran (and Fati) that he rather plays Roberto and Kessie as AMs.

Yeah he's not performing as well. But Xavi played him, so seems to still be ahead in the pecking order, so that's why i named the knes he benched.
You know some things went terribly bad when you end up benching a 60M winger to play Roberto there instead.
Either Xavi really thinks the 4 mid setup is so good that he even wants to stick with it when 2 starters are out or he thinks all wingers not named Dembele are so shit that he rather plays Roberto as an AM. Both is not good news tbh.
