Arthur - 6 ball losses in 75 minutes
Rakitic - 6 ball losses in 15 minutes

But he does 0.1 more interceptions per game so must be better.

Under Setien he seems a bit lost out there. At least with EV he always did a backpass but now it seems as though he's instructed to do forward/lateral passes and it takes more time for him to make a decision on who to pass to. I noticed that Getafe swarmed him every chance they got because they too seemed to have noticed he was releasing the ball late.

Truth
He's smart and sees the passing lanes, especially for Messi but his first touch lets him down too often now & he's left trying to prevent being punished for those mistakes

If Puig doesn't enter into the 18 man list for Eibar at home, will be difficult to justify the exclusion considering the limitations of Rakitic

He must be sold asap, if Juve is really interested.

But he is too much of a scapegoat - everyone should be able to see now, that he isn't this squads main problem.
Busquets/Suarez/Alba deserves as much hate as Rakitic, the problem really is too many old players with too much power.

Best we can hope for now is Pep coming back and selling half the squad to start again with younger players.
If he comes and we get the right people in (not even ready-made world-class players), then we can get rid of all of our players above 30 (except Messi).

Of course Juve are not interested. He’ll end up going to Milan or Inter for about 5m Euros at some point or somewhere like the MLS.

the players you listed there still have moments of brilliance.. Rakitic comes on and we totally lose the midfield. the dude isn't even good enough as a squad option anymore

theres no shame in declining as a player but when you turn into a leech and cry to the media like a bitch.. thats a shame
