    Ivan Rakitić

    How toothless have his shots become? Everytime he cocks the hammer you just know it's gonna me one of those tepid efforts that never put the keeper in more than slight trouble.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Semedo might not be Alves, but it's not fucking easy when Messi refuses to be anywhere near him.

    Lliga | Round 30: Sevilla CF - FC Barcelona 0-0

    Rakitic hasn't done a single thing above the minimum expected level for any midfielder lol. Few mistakes too.

    Arthur

    Not great but without a doubt the best of the three mid starters last night. Busi neglecting his role as pivot too often and Rakitic simply not making any active runs except for those stupid ones down the line, which have never ever even once worked.

    Luis Enrique

    So many minutes to players who shouldn't have been anywhere near that team. Munir, Sandro, Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal, Denis Suarez, Andre Gomes, Paco, Digne...

    Luis Enrique

    Can't believe how bad our transfers were post-treble. Better choices in those two years and we could have modernized the midfield, retired Iniesta and Rakitic at a respectable level, remained at the top of club football and wouldn't have had to hire Valvderde for defensive stability.

    Quique Setien

    There was a noticable change in attitude in Setien's first game. Players ran more for each other, pressed harder and played more courageous passes. They looked like they wanted something and had the balls to go for it, even if they didn't really know how. That positivity seems to have diminished...

    Quique Setien

    He's clearly changed his mind on this, as is logical. Against Sociedad there were a lot more long balls.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If Messi's lack of work was just that, then we might make it, but I don't think he sees how much it affects the team's mentality. If he looks like he doesn't believe, then the whole team takes notice. There are moments when he gets all worked up and makes runs for the ball and crazy dribbles...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Everytime he takes a sprint or is involved continually with the play, you just sense his energy draining. It's like that with the whole team these days. A good, focused play with lots of runs or an intense burst of pressure and you get the sense that it has a price in the other end. The sense...

    Martin Braithwaite

    Not a very good player but knows how to get the best out of his talents.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Low intensity La Liga game at Camp Nou and still wasn't anywhere near good enough. I swear, Iniesta at 35 would be a better option.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Those groin muscle injuries are annoying as hell, because while you can play games with them, you are constatly aware that they're still looming right beneath the surface and can show up whenever you really exert that muscle. He does look like he's holding back in some way when he's sprinting...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Maybe the first couple of trainings with Setien were a jump in intensity, but I doubt they're working harder than under Valverde nowadays. Telling the players to run doesn't mean they're gonna. At some point you just stop telling them. Probably what happened with Lucho in his last season.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The ironic thing is, he was the only player up already the pitch in the Arthur situation because he doesn't run back to defend. Then he doesn't run to attack either...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Never really felt annoyed at him as I do now. He honestly looks like he doesn't believe in his teammates. When Semedo gets the ball, Messi is already anticipating the attack being lost. Semedo breaks through and Messi is walking around 40 meters from the action. Semedo has no-one to pass to...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Sorry but what the fuck is he doing? Every time we go forward he stays back, waiting until there's at least four opponents between him and the goal.

    Nelson Semedo

    It's a difficult position to play for a club like Barca and I understand why he's becoming hesitant to go forward. You need to be allowed to fail, and he isn't really that. Ideally you would want this player to go all out, run at every space and conquer every meter he's given. Just go for it...
