    Lol how are you still peddling that 'defensive contributions' nonsense. Again, Wilfried Ndidi makes 6 times as many tackles as Van Dijk pr. 90. Phil Foden, Lallana, Moutinho, Dani Ceballos make more tackles pr. 90 than Jordan Henderson, Fabian Delph and Kante. What do you think about that?

    Did he do a single thing today that Alenya wouldn't have been able to? Like a single pass or something that would make ou think 'Alenya wouldn't have made that'.

    Arthur

    The difference is that he tries. He didn't find much today, but he looked for it. He wanted it. When he gets a pass from a player trying to get it out of pressure, he tries to get it out of pressure. He looks for passes. If there's no pass open, he dribbles it out. He strives for doing something...

    Sergi Roberto

    He's not world class but he's one of the few players on our team that gets the most out of his talent right now. Great personality on the pitch, don't mind him being more aggressive in attack.

    Look BBZ, Wilfried Ndidi makes 6 times as many tackles as Van Dijk pr. 90. Phil Foden, Lallana, Moutinho, Dani Ceballos make more tackles than Jordan Henderson, Fabian Delph, Kante. You just can't measure defensive contribution in number of tackles, interceptions and that shit. Before all...

    Or what about the fact that Rakitic hasn't made a single tackle in 8 appearances this season in La Liga lol.

    We could also talk about the fact that Rakitic gets dribbled past nearly twice as much as Arthur. Last season: 0.85 vs. 0.43 pr. 90.

    Lol why are you using pr. appearance when I was talking about actual playing time. Use whatever you want for your own posts but don't try to deceitfully disprove mine. Arthur: 15 tackles, 1441 minutes: 0.94 tackles pr. 90 Rakitic: 30 tackles, 2643 minutes: 1.02 tackles pr. 90 Rakitic gives...

    Rakitic had exactly 0.1 more tackles pr 90 than Arthur for last season's La Liga. For every ten games we play, we get one more tackle. What a fucking difference huh.

    Perfect condition for him to show something today. Against an offensive team that doesn't press very hard. Lots of space and time. And he was.... ok.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Not 'playing beautifully' is his go-to red herring. He tries to paint himself a realist, a conservative, who always knows how to get the win, even in tough conditions. It's really disgusting actually.

    Well, a Ballon D'or would reflect a fairer distribution of merit than a collective trophy

    Ivan Rakitić

    75% of a midfielder's defensive contribution is being at the right spot and taking up the physical space. This requires constant movement to close off passing options, being there not to allow the opponent space and time to turn, moving in to support a teammate that is liable to be dribbled...

    Mavericky Puig

    He stands out. Should definitely get more minutes with the first team.
