I still think busi has another season or two paired with de jong and arthur. Not with rakitic. He needs two mobile mf who are press resistant, rakitic is not, vidal not that tech gifted. So, sell rakitic or make them fight for one spot, vidal is a true warrior and i wouldnt sell him.

He is our worst liability! Please retire or go to China since you are no longer capable of playing top class football. If he wasn't a home grown player Catalan press would have killed him a long time ago. He basically lost his cause the moment Xavi and Iniesta left. Slow as fuck, shit in attack, shit in defense, doesn't know how to shoot, doesn't know how to make a long pass. The only thing he knows is how to make a short pass to the first guy next to him but since there is no Iniesta or Xavi next to him anymore he is absolutely useless. He is quite the opposite of how a modern football player should play and run.

Pathetic from Busquets to be backing EV. He was even one of the only players last season who commented that our constant CL away losses over the past 7-8 years are no coincidence, making it seem like he knew things were fundamentally dysfunctional. However he won't admit that he is a big part of that problem and blame the manager that trusts him or take a step back himself.

As for Rakitic being better than him, not even close. Both need to be dropped immediately. But I'd rather Busquets who actually tries to contribute something in pressure situations in buildup and mess up, than Rakitic who will NEVER be there to even attempt those plays but suddenly shows up like a huge contributor when we're comfortably passing it side to side around the back line under no pressure with the opponent pinned back.

Busquets is just bad, but Rakitic is worse than that and even moreso he's a pure coward of a player.

Imo Busi is worse. Absolutely static and him running is a rare sight. Rakitic at least has some work rate.

Although both are crap when it comes to attacking, but then raki is a proper mid while Busi is a Cdm so there is that.

Hahaha farcical opinions. Ready to be exposed?

Distance covered in CL tournament phase this season:

Rakitic - 120.1 km
Busquets - 124.2 km

Busquets also has literally double the tackles completed.

This sack of rocks Rakitic is the greatest I've ever seen at deluding people into believing he has skills/attributes that he absolutely does not have. Modern day Houdini for sure. The amount of people that believed him to be this insanely well rounded Schweinsteiger-esque world class player is crazy, just because of only 2 good games at the WC. Anything that you people think he is good at, he actually isn't whatsoever.

And guess what, he ran less than EVERY notable player for Croatia in the WC as well including Modric/Perisic/Mandzukic/even Rebic IIRC. Busquets had more km/min played in the WC too (played way fewer minutes because Spain didn't advance).

Watched Getafe game yesterday evening.

This guy cannot withstand pressure from fucking Getafe at home anymore. And here we are hoping that we can win against ultra pressing young sides in CL with him as DM.

Needs to become 2nd choice or be sold.

When we look at Spain and we can find something.

Spain has better midfielders and defenders than Barca, and their defense still looks vulnerable after losing peak Xavi and Iniesta.

We portray him as another Pirlo and put some workhorses along him for protection. But he can only provide some useless flick at our backyard.

The most pathetic thing is he's the liability we can't get rid of until his retirement.

If this was Arthur, you would probably remember to mention a fact that not a single of those players you have mentioned, except Modric, played every ko match, and those two matches for 120 minutes.

I mean, for Arthur you guys have an excuse: he gives his all during 60 minutes, this is why he is tired.

Yet, in Raki's case you forgot that he played two years without a rest.
And on a World cup, when comparing him with his teammates, isn't it logical that guys who play 60, 70, 80 or 90 minutes will cover more distance per minute than a guy who plays 120 minutes since everyone are dead tired and walking in extra time?

On the other hand, if there is a stat about Barca's player who covered the most kilometers in total over the last 2 or 5 years, who do you think it would be?

So again, when Arthur has a pimple on his groin, this is an alibi why he is in a weaker form for two Months.
When Rakitic is the most used Barca's player for the last five years and is barely standing on his feet and can't run anymore, that is a proof how he actually sucks and always sucked.
