    Yeah, not full games, I was referencing to the style of play, and tactics in general. When they played even few minutes together, you could see the difference. Just for fun, I looked up when they played together: -Betis (Aug, 2-0) - Roberto in SS -Juventus (Sep, 3-0, Roberto on 70’ after 3-0)...

    Clearances partly has something to do with it too, if you clear a ball, you don't get dribbled past. Even without clearances the individual statistics still show in favor of Semedo. But I think it's pointless to talk to someone that thinks that football is all about statistics. Oh, well, many...

    Nelson Semedo

    That's completely false. First of all you left off clearances. Then the proportions between tackles/dribbled, interceptions/dribbled, clearances/dribbled AND (tackles+interceptions+clearances)/dribbles are ALL in the favor of Semedo both in La Liga and CL except only for tackles/dribbled in...

    The more you try to get past someone, the more that person can tackle or intercept you. Players will more likely try to get past Roberto than Semedo, so his tackles etc will be much higher, while he'd get more dribbled past. Get what I mean? He tackles more, but still gets past more too. That's...

    Stats don't give a full picture, the fact that less wingers are comfortable when Semedo plays shows that

    RB easily Semedo. Player overall I'll agree with you on Roberto, that's why some of the best games this season have been with Semedo at RB and Roberto at CM.

    That's your opinion. I'll counter with that same statement as related to Roberto.

    Oh, there were many times when Semedo deserved to play based on his previous performance, but yet he got bench. Many times.

    Nelson Semedo

    Like you said, never base one player on the amount of goals conceded. There are a lot of factors to look into even just something as simple as the players he was paired with. There are many statistics you can watch but that doesn't give the full picture. All I mean is that every time Semedo...

    Well then that's where I stop trying to explain it to you (maybe read the last post a few times as to why that is) and where we agree to disagree.

    Yeah, I agree. I'm just looking at the possibilities based on that article :cheers:

    Nelson Semedo

    I can be as stubborn as you, so here we go. It became clear that OVERALL, as a right BACK, Semedo was the better, that's why people were complaining about Valverde not playing him. It was evident to all but you apparently. I'll make it very simple so that you can understand: a right back has...

    Nelson Semedo

    Exactly, at the beginning he was the first choice, until Roberto started playing more and more games, with January being the time from which he really didn't play much anymore. Roberto is not a RB, at least not a first choice one anyway. Every single time he plays, you know that teams will...

    Nelson Semedo

    Completely agree on this. We've been found lacking in the overall tactical play that we used to have, especially in the midfield area. I guess it's what the coach is supposed to be working on.

    Nelson Semedo

    Yeah, overplayed.

    Nelson Semedo

    Then that's where we disagree. Clearly Semedo was playing quite well in the earlier stages of the season and played a lot (and no he wasn't first choice for the biggest games, Roberto played against Real in December for example). Then after the winter break that all changed, he started only...

    Nelson Semedo

    Oh, ok, so you think it's ONLY a matter of confidence? If that's the case, then yeah, I agree with you, he really needs to fix it quickly, or else he won't play much. But you must admit if you're playing well, and the coach just drops you (let's call it what it is, it wasn't "rotation" -...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Based on this article https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/revolution-planned-for-barca-b-next-season-6835850 I can see this team for Barca B next year: * = promoted GK: *Iñaki Peña, Jokin Ezkieta/Adrián Ortolá (one is sold) CB(R): Santiago Bueno (from loan), *Óscar Mingueza CB(L): Jorge...

    I honestly want to stay polite here. We're trying to analyze why a player playing for the club we support (Barcelona) is not playing as we know he can and had been doing before. Rather give some insight into what you think he did wrong at the time he was so called "getting rotated". I'm waiting.
