    Arturo Vidal

    If I remove all the context I can find a phrase of yours I do completely agree with.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Two more things to add balance. He also had the most touches, at 104. I am not saying he was great, but he did more good things and fewer bad things than Vidal. And likely better than Oriel or Samper, the other alternatives if we wanted neither Vidal or Rakitic out there (as I stated before the...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Actually we had (as did Spain) the best midfield in the history of football. 3 unique and generational players. Both in style and trophies like nothing before, nor since. Truth is there isn't a Xavi or Iniesta or huge Busi playing for anyone in the world at the moment, let alone 3 even if they...

    Perhaps, some sensible post a while in here.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Criticizing is fine, scapegoating a whole series of problems on a single (and often the wrong one) needs a reality check. The prime members if the club are rakitic, suarez, bob and pique. As does the idea of plating the next tom, dick or harry in there will fix our issues. If we had a kdb, both...

    Lliga | Round 23: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona 0-0

    No all the offensive inspiration lately is by messi or facilitated by messi.

    Ivan Rakitić

    And the favorite player of late (and I like him a lot, Arthur) takes a lot of risks or penetrating play? No not really. Or Busi? A little bit more but also not known for his creativity in the final 3rd. I'd rather a player make the smart play most of the time. In this match he was in trying to...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Ya'll are clueless, he was clearly our 2nd best midfielder on the pitch today. I seriously don't think ya'll watch football. Busquets and him kept what composure we did have with possession. Vidal, Coutinho, Suarez--losing the ball cheaply. Lenglet wasn't too good either.

    Lliga | Round 23: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona 0-0

    I'd like to see suarez, messi, dembele, alena, vidal, busi, semedo, murillo, lenglet, bob, mats. Sub esrly malcom for suarez, couts for dembele and late, if needed rakitic (for alena or vidal). However i think pique will be out there as starter and a good chance rakitic.

    Arthur

    If we have trouble with Lyon with Arthur being the only player out we were not truly a serious threat in this competition. I think we will be fine unless we get other injuries or a burned out squad.

    Adrien Rabiot

    Yes I agree. Vidal is not really a CDM. His is an aging box to box player though still brings lots of passion and energy. Vidal is also on even bigger wages than Rakitic. I want a technical and disciplined player to rotate with Busi. Rather not burden that with FDJ yet, rather give him a...

    Ivan Rakitić

    If he sucks I hate to hear what people think of Alena and Vidal, or the version of Iniesta we had most of last year. I choose to think of them as contributing players. I am hearing crickets on the friendly signature line bet, maybe they know he is better regarded worldwide than by a click of...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    If we need messi to get by a +13 squad in ligue 1 we are not going far anyway. That said we should be convserving and rotating all the over 27 year olds period. Id be.mlre inclined to throw away the league classico than the cup classico, may have 8 pt plus lead over them and atleti by that...

    Sergi Samper

    Just too many matches in a row. Rakitic and vidal should each play part of the match at most. Other minutes have to be alena, oriel or samper

    Ivan Rakitić

    I agree with most everything you said.

    Adrien Rabiot

    I don't really like the idea of just going fdj in, rakitic out, for next year's midfield (although fdj in, vidal out, fine). Fdj is not only having to adjust to 5x the quality of opponents, few young players adapt to barca right away, but arther is an anomaly. Now rabiot or maybe Herrera on a...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I agree but i think a lot of rakitic haters don't, so i was putting my signature line where my mouth is. Let's see the challengers.

    Sergi Samper

    Well one of them should play. An advantage or Oriol is the opponents may not realize it is him and not his namesake and give him more respect.

    6 - Carles Alena

    I agree with pretty much everything you said there (except your preference between these two players in big moments, but I certainly can see merit in your position). Coutinho's over dribbling is toxic. But he has scored the two penalties (one Messi created and the other I think Denis created)...

    Arthur

    Yes it is very sucky news. But it is not a knee injury or something that ended his season. We got one of the best possible draws in Lyon. This team is +12, tied for 4th in goal differential in ligue 1. The only way we don't cruise is we send in an exhausted and unprepared squad in, like Roma...
