BBZ8800 Have you watched the match against Eibar ? Rakitic played CM until Busquets exit. What did you think about his defensive contribution ? Lol. It was pathetic. Remember when I told you that there is no point in comparing his defensive stats with those of Arthur because Rakitic plays DM...

It's clearly the case. As I said on Rakitic thread, the croatian absolutely doesn't give a fuck when the team tries to build from the back. If Arthur doesn't get deep, it means that Busquets has to beat the pressure and bring the ball forward alone vs 3-4 players. It's a very difficult thing to...

He's been Xavi and Iniesta in one body if you compare with his partner CM, Mr. Rakitic lol. But objectively judging, he's been just good imo. Huge contribution in build ups from the back. But he also needs to make his presence felt way more in the last third. He's not a complete, all around...

What a pathetic player omg... :lol: Today he's playing in a true CM position, which hasn't happen for a long time. And he's getting completely exposed. He's only getting worse and worse as time goes by. Zero contribution, offensively, defensively or in build-ups. Did y'all notice how useless...

Chelsea is not a club on Rabiot's level anyway so...

What game did you watch mate ? :neutral: That's a bold face lie. What the hell are you talking about ? Barcelona had 9 negative results (loss or draw) since the beginning of the season and Coutinho played in midfield only in one of those 9 games. It was away against Leganes, Barça lost 2-1...

BBZ8800 Yeah and Rakitic and Vidal needs 150 min to break pressure once. Vidal is a beast defensively, he'll always have better stats than majority of midfielders. Why do you ignore CL stats ? Liga stats are twisted because Arthur didn't start that often in Liga. In CL he started almost all...

Dude plays once every 2 months with B team, and people judge him on these appearances to see if we should sell him lol. It's pathetic. Give the kid a run of 3-4 games at least where he starts some and plays as a substitute in some. Right now he's completely black listed, he's rusty and his...

This. But BBZ will continue to talk about Liga and only Liga stats cause they fit better his narratives.

I saw these stats here and on Twitter showing how often he brings the ball in the final third and people be like "oh see how creative and offensive Rakitic is ?" lol. Stats don't mean shit. First thing: Rakitic is by far the most used midfielder by Valverde. He played twice more than Vidal and...

Exactly why I keep telling him that stats don't mean shit. But he doesn't care, he'll bring up stats in his next message about Arthur. Dude even compared Arthur's defensive stats to those of 2010 Xavi and Iniesta. He doesn't understand that there are plenty different ways of defending.

Good post. I agree with majority. And to be fair, since Lucho left, our attacking game got even worse under Valverde. Some will say Lucho had MSN, but it doesn't explain everything. MSN or no MSN (eg: 2-3 Clasico in Bernabeu) Lucho's team in its prime always knew how to create chances. Since he...

This saga is hilarious. If Barca and Bayern start a money war for this clown they're complete idiots. Rabiot is in the worst possible spot right now. After he destroyed his future with France NT, he did the exact same thing with his club PSG. He won't sign new deal with PSG, the club does no...

Thiago is (far) superior to Rakitic in all football aspects. Better passer, better under pressure, quicker, smarter, 10 times more mobile, better dribbler, better vision, he's even better defensively lol. Even has better defensive stats and he doesn't need to play as low as a centre back to...

Since I don’t trust this board at all regarding future transfers and future coach, I think we should sell Coutinho in the summer if we receive a 80-100m offer at least. And then somebody needs to hide that money from current board in order to avoid them buying another brazilian future flop for...

This guy needs a mentor. A fascinating coach who knows what he wants and who'll babysit Coutinho, constantly watch him and give him precise orders, motivate him. That's the only way Coutinho could become good enough for Barça starting 11 because at this point, he has some serious flaws, it's...

BBZ being the ultimate opportunist as usual. Malcom didn't play since november. I hope you knew that before starting to write your book. You're talking about September and October, it's all good. Let's talk about August, do you remember that time when you were saying that Malcom is an alpha...

I never said Semedo will learn for sure end product. Maybe he'll never learn it indeed. What's even more likely is that an average midfielder will never learn how to be a proper right back, and I don't even talk about world class (Barça level) right back.

Goat rw.

Yeah his only clear flaw. While Roberto sucks at many many things. There is a bigger chance that Semedo learns end product than Roberto learning 3/4 stuffs a RB should know and possess. That's why Semedo needs to be the starter RB till the end of the season. If he can't develop into a world...
