Ivan Rakitić

[Sailor Mars]

So we agree that even Busi doesn't do much good today?

When who is then for a third mid in 2nd half? This game needs more speed. All BVB needs is to stay compact.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Rakitic can do with frenkie and Arthur. Further down the road, Riqui Puig could be interesting too.

Sergio is organzing the midfield and partly defence just fine. Rakitic could not do that, and his quickthinking and close-passing isnt close at Sergio level. He would not be an upgrade at all.

Sergio is balancing and dictating the rythm in the midfield. And is doing fine. Main problem Are the wings imo.

Can't even front anymore.

I hope he gets injured and so I don't have to see this piece of trash on pitch for Barca.

Garbage player.

 

[Riordon]

This shows he was never the problem at Liverpool or Roma. Dortmund could easily have scored 3-4 before he came on and we struggled to get a shoot on target

 

[BarcaMessi]

another walk in the park.

Garbage player.

As predicted things went to shit when he was subbed in. Tbf he has basically No match fitness, Will probably get better over the season, bit wont ever be a vital piece for us again.

You do know that his mistakes cost Barca some goals at Liverpool no ?

Things were already going to shit in the 2nd half before he subbed in.
He had a decent game today.

"Had a good game" Rakitic is back on the menu boys

Dude has 1 plan. When in doubt, pass it back or dump it to the fullback. And, spoiler alert, he is always in doubt.

The 1 time a defender was even within 5 meters of him with the ball he shat the bed and conceded a near counter that was snuffed out early by FDJ. Absolutely useless player, not a single valuable skill to offer us these days. Not one.

 

[Cool]

What he offers that Vidal does not offer, I don’t get it...

Let me get this straight:

1. when Rakitic played last season=Barca played like shit
2. when Rakitic doesn't play this season=we play like the same shit, or extremely hot and cold.

3. Roberto was a new Raki. He can do anything what Raki can, plus he can run. Lol. Roberto is shit as a midfielder.
4. Alena was tried. He is shit also.
5. Busi was tried. He is shit also.
6. Raki was tried again. He is shit also.
7. Vidal will be tried soon. He will be shit also.

People say that we have a best team in Europe, yet we can't field 3 decent midfielders who can run and do a few basic things.
But, but, but: Raki alone is a reason for every single defeat and lost ball in the last 5 years at Barca.

On the other hand, a magical Arthur-Frenkie duo created 0 chances against Dortmund, whoa re average in a CL terms.
I mean, if we can't create a chance against a crappy Dortmund, what will we do against Liverpool and City?

I know, I know, we will hear a new alibi: it is EV.

Why I have an awkward feeling that the same will happen with EV what happened with Raki?
1. so, when Raki plays=we play like shit
2. when Raki doesn't play=we still play like shit.
So, maybe our problems are deeper than Raki.
3. but imo, when EV is here=we play like shit.
4. when EV will be gone=we will play like an equal shit as when he is here.
Why? Because our team is shit, lol.

We have 1 decent attacker (Messi), 2 decent midfielders (Frenkie, Arthur), 0,5+0,5 decent defenders (Pique and Lenglet) a GK (Mats).
That's 5 decent players in "the best team in the world", lol.

What he offers that Vidal does not offer, I don’t get it...

Vidal plays 1-touch football.
A horrible fit when you play a possession football.

He is good in crazy run and gun matches.
When you have to attack around the box, oh boy...

Not that Raki is better.
The point is: NONE of them is good.
