Sure and up until now he did not bother doing that, giving mediocre performances, which resulted in coach using Roberto. How exactly is that Valverdes fault? If he had played/practiced well, he would have been our nr 1 RB.

Yea, because managers never took dumb decisions. I mean, Semedo is so shit, that he can't play vs Getafe at home, after the team played a tough game vs Valencia 3 days before. You don't make any sense. Even if you agree that Semedo is weaker than Roberto, just the fact that Roberto played a high intensity game and Semedo rested vs Valencia less than 3 days prior to that, you start Semedo at home vs Getafe. His speed alone would've helped in what was a tired Barca team out there.

All these experts on injuries after the event.
No one was calling for Semedo to be subbed and would have moaned like fuck had he been.
He played a game less than three weeks ago and has been training. Folk are acting like he has not run in a month and Barca basically caused this injury. Absolute load of rubbish as usual.

He has been trainingAs if training can ever be compared with a proper official match.
Yip he played less than three weeks ago and has been training.
Never seen experts like you calling for him to be subbed yesterday...because there was no reason to.
Just reactionary rubbish and latest subject folk think they are experts on.
Tell us in your expert opinion how Barca should have treated Semedo yesterday. Of course this is revisionary as you never said it at time but go for it.

He played 3 weeks ago and only 60 mins. Playing 60 minutes in 6 games.
Experts like me already made a big deal out of him playing way way too few minutes this month. Had he played consistently, as he should have, rotating with Roberto, even if playing the smaller games, this wouldn't have happened probably.

Yes he played less than three weeks ago. Already been over that.
Tell us how Barca should have treated him yesterday.
Yes but what should Barca have done yesterday?
You seem to be speaking like an expert now when never said anything before the injury.
Pure guess work to say 'injury wouldnt have happened'. Injuries like this happen all the time to players.

Should have played him more. We had plenty of games lately, with Copa ties included, in which he could have played with ease. We played like shit in La Liga (Alaves, Espanyol, Getafe) after each Copa midweek game, because we showed fatigue. Meanwhile, Semedo stood on the bench unused most of the time, or even worse, in the stands (couldn't believe that shit).

No asking on back of not playing him more how he should have been treated in game yesterday to prevent injury?
Well avoided as you dont have an answer and you never mentioned anything about this before the game.
Expert after the event.

When did Denis, Gomes, Paco, Digne play last time? Does that mean that they should try to not impress the coach by any means because they may get injured. Hell, maybe that explains why they have sucked. Man life is tough outside starting eleven.
What does that have to do with anything? What if he finally tried to impress vs Getafe? Would he have gotten injured as well. Is it not possible for Semedo to play a good game without getting injured?
If anything, your statement would make sense if Roberto got injured in Getafe game.

We already came to the conclusion in Dembele's case, that hamstring injuries come without a warning (although, the risk could be minimized by a good diet and stretching).
This injury is an unpredictable one (and I don't think that Semedo has a bad diet, like Dembouz).
He is just unlucky, which is a shame, because we could use him against Chelsea.
Get well soon Nelson.

Roberto can get injured as well for playing non-stop in the next 1.5 months. Not saying it's guaranteed to happen (as it wasn't guaranteed for Semedo, but not playing for 3 weeks and then going full on almost an entire game has certainly contributed to his injury). But it certainly is an aggravating factor. Overplaying or not having enough match rythm (forget trainings, players need to play matches to be at a great fitness level, it's like that in any sport).
The issue is that we have two good RBs that should have allowed Valverde to distribute playing time properly. He didn't do that. He started with Semedo, then dropped him and played Roberto almost a full month in the recent period, 6 games in a row, packed in 20 days or so. Now Semedo is injured for a month and a half, and guess what, with 2 equally good RBs, he's managed to fuck it up by not distributing game time properly.
