ah - ok thanks. It seemed Rafa may have been leaning toward Romeu until he got hurt, and my vague perception has been that he's trying to move away from Mikel a bit - hopefully not the case.
agreed I would love to rationalise Rafa and his logic in team selection but I am fortunate to not be mentally retarded
Never seen two mids so poor at ball retention. Any time there pressured they panic or concede possession. They're also getting dragged out of position to easily. Chasing the ball too much.
