Nelson Semedo

[Havesaks]

Interstingly he looked way more comfortable on the left back then previous. More confident player. He has profited a lot being a starter

Had tottaly Sancho in his pocket

The penalty wasn't that bad, but his lost ball that led to the counter attack was the real mistake in that play... While not bad, still the weakest link in our defense even if played out of position today which is not his fault...

Weakest link? Was by far our best in the back 4 tonight. Lenglet and Pique were atrocious.

 

[CatalinR10]

except for the penalty he was really good , kept the 100 mil Sancho boy in his pocket.

Wtf?! Our CBs were absolutly shaky how can he be the weakest link today?! How often did Sancho actually go past him??

😂

The weakest links are Busquets, Pique and Lenglet. Three lumbering players who lack intensity and speed.

 

[Horatio]

It can happen. Played off position, move on. Played a good game overall at LB.

I like the kid but his reaction time is laggy in the box. Gets fainted and passed. Can work on it though.

Wrong. Pique played really well and so did Sergio and lenglet. Our problem was the attacking players not creating enough space: Messi, Fati, Suarez, griezmann. This Will get better soon

Haha. How the hell Lenglet was good?

Sancho diving like he had just been shot fucked Nelson over. Harsh pen in my opinion.


I can't fault his game as a makeshift left-back though.

 

[serghei]

Nah it was a clear pen. Basically Semedo went after the ball but Sancho got a touch first, so Semedo landed on his foot instead of the grass.

Solid in defense, offers nothing in offense quite frustrating to watch

Bad game to make this remark. He actually did create several actions in offense with good passing between the lines.

Definately. But i think it was a bit unnessecary. He already blocked him well and Sancho couldnt do much from there. Semedo is pretty agressive in 1v1s which is good of course but sometimes he needs to be calmer. There was a similar situation in the first half where Dortmund gets a free kick with an almost identical foul from Semedo.

Dont see it like this. Commentators and statistics neither. Pressed high several times very good, tried some runs and played some nice passes.
People should adjust their expectations. He is no Alves or Alba and never will be.

 

[PhilS]

I get pretty tired of hearing all the excuses for Semedo. If a defender plays an acceptable game, except for a single failure that loses or should lose the game, then he has not played well enough.

Semedo seems to have a knack for not covering his man or getting beat at critical times in big games. This is a big, big problem.
