Workhorse with brains. Perfect. Arguibly the most consistent nowadays, in the second half of the season. Does simple things, but imortant things nevertheless.

People were lambasting him at the start of the season which was the same period in which we were employing the 4-3-3.
He has looked like a different player since switching to the 4-4-2. Not sure if he can cut it in a three man midfield since we're going to be forced to return to it with the arrival of Griezmann.

He looked good in that system in 14-15. Has more to do with form and coaching than the system.

That's why we need to get rid of the 4 scrubs in midfield and attack, sign Griezmann and Arthur and get Coutinho eligible for next UCL season.

Messi has been doing the dirty work ever since Xavi declined . He is basically Barca's Modric and C. Ronaldo at the same time . Now if you expect him to do defensive work as well that's slavery

Dirty work is usually meant as defensive work which is still often underappreciated and overlooked by every day fans who are just looking for goals and "flashy" things like dribblings and passes. Luckily incompetent managers like Lucho and Valverde know importance of players like Raki for the team.

He is key tonight, needs to work his ass off defensively, stop Hazard and Willian on the break

Rakitić has played 203 of the 227 Barça games in the past 4 years, more than Messi, Suárez, and even Busquets. Out of the 46 games under Valverde, Rakitić has played in 44 of them.
