Vidal is arguably worse than Roberto defensively, although Roberto has been quite bad there himself lately.
But Vidal has that explosive pace, able to pass the ball behind the defence. Is decent linking up with others. If Lucho is smart, he'd give the guy a chance now to turn it around.
Sorry, people shouldn't be allowed to say he played well or should perhaps get more chances.
Not unless his name is Fabinho or someone else.

I said it in the chat and I'll say it again: if used properly I think he could be a very valuable sub. In a handful of tough games this season, Lucho has opted to make a late sub of taking off a defender and subbing in Arda to double up on the left flank with Neymar (as if Neymar himself doesn't provide enough width 
). Yet our right flank remains crippingly weak since Messi doesn't actually play as a right winger.
Having Vidal there with his pace/energy could be exactly what we need in a deadly super-sub to stretch the opponents wide and give space. He's also very skillful with cutbacks instead of crosses and increase our dynamic attacking options. It seems to be a common-sense sub but we haven't even utilized it once.

People can say whatever they want. And I say that the reactions are knee jerk reactions based on a game against a side that played like amateurs. People in here dont say "he played well" and leave it at that though. No one disagrees that he played well in this one game.

I agree. To me he looks more decisive with his movement, the way he moves in space is very determined and almost makes you pass the ball to him. He received some passes that Roberto doesn't usually receive. He helped our game massively on the right, and for the first time in some games, we were not as obsessed to play on the left.

Heartwarming celebration for a fantastic goal...
To be honest, our right flank looked better with him while attacking...

To me it seems like he is genuinely a good guy who has issues with Lucho, and everybody in the team likes him.

His offensive contribution has never been a question. The problem is when stacked up against any semi competent attacking team he turns to a total mess.

Roberto has been a defensive mess for a while now.

This has to be his best game for us and boy is he fast.

But Roberto has at least shown he has a capability of defending when on form, while Vidal has not.
Not to mention Roberto has the quintuple stack advantage of being a pretty Catalan developed in La Masia who's loved by the coach and can play multiple positions.
