Last season's Roberto better than Semedo? lol
Even Ter Stegen could have been better than Roberto at RB last season.

Yes easily Roberto was better at RB last season than Semedo has been this season and that was in a system that was fucked and no right hand side on front of him.

Roberto has not even been all that differnt this season. Just a better balanced team on front of him.

Just keep moaning about 'lack of chances' when he has started half the season at RB for Barca and played in over half the games.

So when Roberto doesn't perform it's the "system " that is wrong? Ok.

I actually hoped u would have started today with Roberto in Midfield, him not playing enough isn't helping anyone but me being right yet again. Lol

Try reading what was said.

Semedo who has played in over half the games 'doesnt get enough chances'. Ok

Chelsea game is just 10 days form now and Semedo is suspended in that game. Why not rest Roberto after him being involved in a very tough and physical game 3 days ago vs Valencia. I'm curious who would play RB in CL on Stanford Bridge if Roberto gets a muscle strain?

Valverde doesn't seem to think in perspective sometimes.

I like him but think it's better he doesn't start today.
He's started so many games without a winger in front of him and showed he can't cope with it (yet?). We need someone who'll do the job similar to the one of Alba. Be a defender when the ball is lost and a winger when we are in possession, even a midfielder in the phase of creation.
He should start getting his chances after Dembele's return. He should be able to bind up with teammates more that way and develop some chemistry.

Because winning this game is priority for now and dont think Roberto needs 10 days rest.

Rest argument would be stronger for next game really.

Cant worry about potential injuries. If that is the case rest any of them.

Valverde wants width from full backs in final third I think.

He has picked Semedo to play in over half the games this season. He is not ignoring him for no reason.

Winning this game can be done with Semedo as well. Our win percentage with Semedo on must be the same as with Roberto, give or take.

as you said chelsea game is 10 days from now, not 4 so drastic rest isn't necessary yet.

It seems like you are just being emotional in your evaluation of the players. You like Roberto so you forgive him and forget his mistakes quickly and you don't seem to like Semedo for some reason so you forget anything good he did and remember his mistakes. Roberto was a 12th opponent player at RB last season.

The issue is Roberto played on thursday night a very intense physical game vs Valencia. That's less than 3 days rest for this game. A muscle injury happens because of oversolicitation. These are exactly the type of matches where you need to rest a key player who doesn't have a back-up going into a critical CL game.

As CL games are approaching you need to make better choices if you want your best players fit and ready to play.

So did many of them.

The CL game is ten days away.

Nope seems like you are over rating Semedo for what he has shown so far and he has not been better than Roberto last season.

I will compare them on stats last season after the game then.

Nothing to do with not liking Semedo. Would love it if he started to improve.
