Just curious, why are you sure that "He will definitely change"?

I think that's a reasonable decision In the end of the match Rakitic has more strength advantages to close down the game

hamstring against? The hell...

I don't watch any of his play yet but he has a God like name - a combination of Ibrahim and Kante

Rakitic with enough battery is always world class Hope he can keep his energy high for the rest of the reason or Valverde know how to manage his energy in crucial periods

Super way to close down a game But I'm afraid his age doesn't allow that intensity for the whole 90 minutes He brings much impact as 2nd half sub, fresh energy against tired opponents

I think his additional mission today is to mark Modric. He followed Modric very closely all the time and when he came off Modric started to cause troubles. Not sure if he played safe because he's just came out of injury or he learned from the 1st round of Copa, he dribble less and pass quicker...

I don't think Rakitic had a bad game but I disagree with BBZ8800 that we had possession. Rakitic and Busquest have a normal game. Roberto didn't contribute much for ball distribution in midfield and Rakitic and Busquest are too static to break Real's press on their own. Can't blame them though...

I think we should try play without him for at least half time because there is chance he didn't get full 100% match fit after injury (even Messi struggled after injury). If he is fully fit and our midfield needs his ability in 2nd half then release him to the wild.

Sometimes it sounds like you have agenda against Arthur in favor of De Jong. For now I rate Arthur higher than De Jong because he is already proven for us and has very valuable and unique contribution to the team. For more discussion about De Jong position in the XI we have to see him play with...

Yep, Busquets seems to be much more comfortable with him around

Was there was a rumor that Rabiot refused to play in CDM position for both PSG and France?

Let's just compare Arthur and Vidal in the Getafe match Arthur: Aerials Won 1, Tackles 1 Vidal: Aerials Won 2, Tackles 1 But who had a better match? I don't say that Arthur is better than Vidal but the stats alone can't be used to estimate player contribution

I think he had bad and good games but the number of good ones is much higher. However the problem is that he doesn't cope well with the high press so he's more effective if there is someone to take that pressure off him. That's why Arthur was fit in well, he doesn't add much to attack or defense...

Agree and we still can develop him in match against weak teams Hope someday he can become rightful starter

Solid game for him today with some sweet in through passes, that's the improvement i expected Only one mistake when he got off guard by a smart and sneaky move from Griezmann

Good finish today I think he still doesn't fit our play style enough for a starting spot. But we can develop him by starting him in match against weak team, sub him in more often when we have enough lead
