It's an ongoing debate, time to post a poll. 1. Roberto. Many say he's better at the moment, but at the age of 26 - basically a finished product. His flaws are well known, so are his strengths. 2. Semedo. While it seems he hasn't adapted yet, it's believed his ceiling as a RB is higher. Also...

Shame he's got benched while we're having problems with starting CBs. High time he's tested as a RCB.

That's pretty cheap. Nobody's asking him to play all 4 guys every match. The fact is that the only new signing who's getting consistent minutes is - Vidal. Nothing to brag about it.

Assume he hasn't received green light. Wanted to see him play against PSV.

First the guy got behind him with ease then he's late in his jump. Not the first time he's losing a duel there.

What did he do exactly to keep him in an uncomfortable situation? No pressure, no aggressiveness, no nothing. In my opinion, Pique's the one who shouldn't be starting. We're basically playing with false wing Messi relying on FBs to provide width. For which one has to be capable with the ball...

Let's not pretend 4-2-3-1 with real wingers in Dembele and Coutinho is 'more or less' a 4-4-2 with Paulinho and Iniesta. 1. - I highlighted a word there, 'deserved'. That's how you measure success in big matches. Results + state on the pitch. Big matches about which I'm talking - Real Madrid...

Both had terrible games. But only one could've been taken off as we needed a RB. It was a stupid challenge altogether. But this is not what one calls a good defensive reaction.

If he approaches big matches with Coutinho-Busquets-Rakitić-Vidal midfield in 4-4-2, it will be the same as last year. Doubt that's the case, however. That's what I meant by 'different'. Nothing else. Will his approach to big matches be good this season? Don't know. Need to wait for the first...

Was just bad against Sociedad. One could easily blame the goal on him, lost his man, gave him all the time he needed while watching the ball. Going forward? 0, as usual.

4-1

Ahahaha :lol: More deluded than Lucas Resende, if that'a even possible

Soo.. it's not Ronaldo, but his PR team who's butthurt? :lol: Not surprised, they've been winning him awards lately.

For a team which enjoys control and struggles under pressure when attacked, Arthur might be a better defensive sub than Vidal. Solid defender himself, might find it easier to kill the game when we're up.

If you're talking in general, it's fine. If you're replying to me, always find ways to read something into my posts. :lol: I said there Valverde had resorted for a defensive approach in big matches (last season) and that it wouldn't be the same this one since (1) we lost Paulinho (2) our...

:lol:

As long as every debate's going to start and and end with the match in Rome... we're not going places.

To make it worse: nobody cares about meaningless friendlies, no matter how they glorify them. :shakeshead: Let's hope nobody gets injured. :pedro: (That's not Pedro I had in mind :lol:)

Another international break? :facepalm: :shakeshead:
