18 - Oriol Romeu

[serghei]

Xavi needs to find a way to use some different structure in defensive midfield. Romeu offers almost nothing on the ball. Romeu looks like he could be useful if we need to close down a game, but should never start for us.

He is a lot worse than Busquets and Busquets was an issue.

Best hope is with Felix and Ferran contributing through middle it allows Pedri, Gundo or Gavi to try and find balance deeper and more options for them to play deeper at times.

This oreo beyond shit. Might as well play Roberto there like at the start of his career.

If this player has any role in xavis mind, The season will end in doom and gloom. A simple self-evident truth.

 

[JamDav1982]

Four games in a row not been winning until his game is finished.

Its another Xavi blindspot of old Spanish players he thinks see game in a special way.

Well the claim was that Busquets was a liability with his giveaways and inability to cover ground, and that any players that wasn't a liability would be a big improvement to the overall play.

So far, Romeu hasn't been a negative liability for the team.

 

[JamDav1982]

He is far worse than Busquets and just as slow.

Unpopular Opinion alert: He was great off the ball today. But yeah, shite on the ball.

I wanted Amrabat too but the idiots at the club bought this fridge.

What forward did we spend big on since last season? We lost one forward (Dembele) and we only bought/signed 2 players in Romeu and Gundogan lol...

Roque?

he was good defensively, but looked lost on the ball (not that anyone else had much of a clue)

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He was exposed today. Horrendous game.

January can't come soon enough.
