    Ivan Rakitić

    Does someone want to do a signature line wager that if Rakitic leaves this summer it is for greater or equal to 45 mil Euros? I'll take the over. FYI I am all for selling by the way, and using those wages for Rabiot.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Has Tobido ever played RB? We may need Bob to play some midfield and we need someone (Bob, Semedo) to give Jordi some days off as well.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Damn I just saw the news are Arthur. We have got to get Bus, Rakitic and Vidal a lot of rest, they are old. No more 2 matches a week for any of them please. I'd rather toss a few La Liga points but keep them fresh for the CL and CDR Classico part 2. Alena, Coutinho, and even Samper--got to play...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Nah I am far more hopeful Alena could have a place in the main rotation than Gomes, I don't ever want to see Gomes in a Barca shirt but I hope he keeps impressing some in the EPL so someone takes him for what he cost. But Alena was bad in his spot duty in the Classico, if you didn't think so you...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Coutinho has been involved in a lot of plays the last few weeks that have resulted in goals or clear chances. Coutinho also continues to show really bad decision making and giving the ball up far too easily, and it is clear Dembele offers a lot more when paired with Suarez and Messi in the...

    Arthur

    I think you are right. The next step in his game is creative passes in the final 3rd. I will also credit his work rate and effectiveness on defense against Madrid. Especially given the competition it was an incredibly impressive performance they left no doubt to me he is ready to start any match...

    6 - Carles Alena

    You can get slack, and PT, in less important matches. I want to see him vs Bilbao and I want to see Rakitic and Vidal rest. But no he isn't close to the player of Bus, Arthur, Rakitic, Arturo, or other favorite whipping boy Coutinho. He just isn't, and played like a headless chicken with poor...

    Luis Suárez

    Was suarez worth it? Of course and 10 times over. Been the best #9 in the world over most that period, brilliant scorer and passer, and an average of what 1.5 major trophies a year. One of the silliest questions yet.

    Luis Suárez

    Yes hope to EV comes to his senses and rests Suarez, Pique, and Rakitic vs Balboa.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Rakitic vs Sevilla last week was way better than any match we have seen out of Vidal since 2018. Vidal has a lot more flaws than you think, more risk/rewards and sometimes those risk punish us when he misses a lunged tackle and we are short defending. FTI I am fine with a Rakitic/Vidal platoon...

    Ivan Rakitić

    And I'll add Alena. If we want to talk about a sh*t show with the minutes they got. Just be fair to all players based on performances and collections of performances.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Which is fine as you apply the same standards to Busi, Arthur and Vidal. Call them out for their good games and bad, and keep the perspective of the run of games.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I agree. We need Countinho to spell our starting forwards this year. Moving forward however if we can get good value and use it in a better fitting player I think that would be wise. Dude Isco is not better. Coutinho last year (us/liverpool) and years before for Liverpool and his national team...

    Nelson Semedo

    Best match I have seen Semedo play--I thought he was immense in one of the most pressured situations possible.

    Arthur

    I am not saying Coutinho is the answer but Alena is a long way to go from being a fixture in our midfield. Arthur is light years ahead of Alena. I was seeing this too and thinking Arthur could use some lessons from Busi on how to embellish fouls, and even how to fake pain (Carvajal and Neymar...

    Malcom

    I was very frustrated with the miss but it isn't like we haven't seen 1v1 and sitters missed by Messi, Saurez and Coutinho lately. Malcom needs to get more clinical. Malcom overall was outstanding yesterday and showed why we spent 40+ million on him, he was a needed spark and he delivered...

    Gerard Piqué

    I agree. I do not think it is a motivational problem. I think it is an age and minutes problem. The man needs to be rested this weekend and not asked to play more than 90 minutes in a week, that is what we have Murillo on loan for, right? Valverde needs to rest him and save him more for the...

    Clément Lenglet

    Lenglet and Alba were at fault for the goal, terrible play on both players part was required to allow that goal to happen. But Lenglet was outstanding except for that IMO. Really excellent passing, positioning, defending.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Vidal has been terrible lately. I think the right thing is to conserve them both a lot more in la liga, and bring Vidal in about 65 minute mark every big match. Subbing for each other isn’t a punishment for bad play, just a smart use of veterans. Rakitic very effective play was an important...

    Jordi Alba

    Both he and Lenglet made major mistakes for that goal to happen. On the other hand Carvajal's misjudgment was the biggest part of our goal and Alba helped make that play--so I would say 1 Alba largely he made up for it, and 2) even very good defenders (Carvajal probably the best all around RB...
