    Ivan Rakitić

    For now we need all players playing as committed to the club as possible. After the results of the season then the squad would be assessed and a business plan. Ideally rakitic, busi and vidal lead the club to a trifecta, then hard decisions can be made. So of course the manager should say what...

    Emerson

    Wasn't that player called Adriano.

    Sergi Roberto

    He isn't vastly outplaying Bob. Not to me by the eye test, and not the stats.https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/65/Show/Spain-Barcelona Right now by stats they are equal and that is about what I see. When Semedo is in there the attack and flow when possessing the ball suffers, and he doesn't...

    Ivan Rakitić

    The KDB comparison in all ways is ridiculous so I gave the appropriate response—yes this year Rakitic has been much better than Kevin, because Kevin has been watching from the stands and can only give a pale faced cheer of Go Citizens. KBD is probably best attacking mid in the game when...

    Sergi Roberto

    You also get confidence and prove your readiness on the training round. If he was vastly outplaying Bob on the training ground he would have been the regular starter one year ago. Right now he gets 50% of RB minutes across all competitions, an improvement from last year of about 40%. So he is at...

    Luka Jović

    Wanted to comment on Sebastian Haller, Frankfurts #9. He would have had the goal iv BvD if Jovak hasn't nicked it in. He looks very skilled with his feet and effective in ball control in tight space and uses both feet well--be it to shoot or set up a teammate. He is tall (1.90) with superior...

    Nicolas Pépé

    He seems as interesting as any reasonably attainable young striker. Would have to see if him or Dembele could grow into sharing more of a #9 role.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Well I watch a lot of City, and Rakitic has been a better player than De Bruyne for most all of the season. Otamendi has also been way better than Umtiti this year too--thet can chew on that one. The more apt comparisons are to Fernandinho, Gundogan and Delph, and Rakiti is def better than the...

    Sergi Roberto

    I have no doubt if Semedo played like Carvajal or Kimmich than Roberto would be on the bench, but Semedo doesn't play like either one of them. I would like to see Semedo start most league games, and probably fine if he starts the Classico midweek. Honestly I am mostly indifferent toward Bob vs...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He has a quicker mind and better technique than Henderson or Dier, and those guys play for some of the best EPL teams. Seriously folks need to rewatch the world cup (not just the England match though that is a good one) and get out of the "what a Barca midfielder" should be tunnel vision. Of...

    Radja Nainggolan

    It may not seem possible i agree a lot with malvolio and at the same time agree with leo messi. I think he is a poor mans vidal. Vidal has his attributes in a more skilled player. Vidal is mediocre in skill for barca, but enough where his fiesty attributes can be useful to tbe situation. But i...

    Luka Jović

    He did score (right place right time and great poachers touch) but i cant say i was impressed with movement or work rate. I was more impressed by a lot of other players on the field. Sancho, Guerriero & hakimi have a lot going for them as young players. I know he is getting close to 30 and he...

    Sergi Roberto

    Quite honestly i would like semedo to play more of the minutes in normal games than bob. But this is also compounded is one them is also our only back up LB, and bob is also out 3rd choice dcm. However come the classicos and cl ties i have mixed feelings about semedo too. I do like that...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Jorginho hasn't been near what was advertised this year, yeah rakitic would be better. Besides there is a possibility all 3 could play and either way they wont all play every match. Chelsea is lacking in discipline, control and footballing brains control in the midfield--i really think rakitic...

    Sergi Roberto

    That is true and he got a goal within the week too. I want him to keep getting worked in. But sometimes he looks the least Barca player out there, just doesn't seem to have much chemistry with other players and the attack stalls (lacks creativity and coherence) the minute it gets to his feet. I...

    Sergi Roberto

    But I am also saying Semedo did not do himself any favors in proving he should be the regular RB. Part of the reason Roberto is usually the regular RB is because since Dani left none has been consistently better than him when they have had the chance. I agree you have a point about the game...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Looks promising and has some dynamism to him. Want him to play most every league game as starter or sub. Let's get a better look at what we have and see how he reacts.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Probably don't want to see him vs Bilbao (part if Dembele can play), a draw is fine if that is what it is. I say have him on the sub menu vs Real if he is cleared to play, let them sweat knowing he can come in and see if the other boys can get the job done.

    Arturo Vidal

    THESE! Assuming all fresh.... Arthur-Rakiti-Busi is our starting midfield. Vidal 1st the 1st sub (55-70 min mark) for either Rakitic or Arthur depending on the situation (score, opponent, what is happening out there)

    Sergi Roberto

    He was very good at right back yesterday and vs Sevilla. He was shit at left back yesterday. And Semedo was pretty poor at RB yesterday too. The CB play yesterday also didn't help things.
