#5 Valverde’s tactics

Even after winning 3 major trophies, including a domestic double last season, Valverde continues to divide opinion among football experts and Barcelona fans alike. Again, his strategy was not particularly impressive last night, but he still escaped with a draw from a tough away game.

It’s time for him to decide on Roberto’s role in this team, as he looks more comfortable in the midfield than at left back position. But Semedo does not fill the requirements of a Barca player, and he is not particularly impressive with his crosses either.

Arturo Vidal also looks like an outsider in a midfield filled with talents such as Arthur, and he has the knack of losing the ball quickly, which won’t help Barcelona in any way. Finally, he has to finalise on one formation before the Champions League knockouts, as he has experimented with both 4-4-2 and 4-4-3 this season so far.
