distance covered by 90 min and pass %
Arthur runs more than both Busquetes and Rakitic, and have higher passing %
Vidal ofc runs the most, but his passing is quite bad.

top three in the world in midfield. he plays behind mummies that s why he does not deliver through passes. xavi played behind restless bees ready to sting all match long.

You cant make that conclusion. Arthur runs more in first 70 minutes, but you need to compare how much Rakitic and Sergio run in the same time, run kms are normally dropping in later stages of the game. And arthur has a lot of time showed his stamnia is dipping hard after the 70. minutes. But i do think arthus running is more hard and exocting than rakitic and sergio running in the same speed all game long.

Rakitic cant keep his stamina up either, is slower, and doesnt provide the same control in midfield.
Yet he does not get subbed.

I was just talking about the stats, these just aren't accurate for players not going full 90 min.

I know what you mean but the "lack of stamina" argument when it comes to Arthur doesnt seem to be quite accurate.
Arthur stats will go down a bit, but would probably still be a bit higher.
He moves alot, not running, but repositions himself to make himself available for passes much more than Rakitic.

Vidals stat are a bit to high, he doesnt play much.
Yet its kinda what he does, he runs alot without the ball, but hes not the best when the team has the ball.

Having Arthur and De Jong, Plus Alena, Puig etc. Will come along way in having a Midfield that not only can keep possession and be press resistant but also have it become more involved in the attack like it use to and instead of just having the Midfield be water carriers for the Front three.

Not just stamina, i dont discount rakitic gets worse playing a full game. But you have injury risk, we have to be more conservative with arthur and dembele with their muscle issues. Rakitic and busi i hope start getting much reduced shifts, but you can count on them to give a full shift without the same injury risk as others.
Like i said it would be much preferred if they start rotating games and rakitic doesn't have to play more than 70--sometimes it isnt possible when there are other players there is a bigger risk to keep then on the pitch. And coutinho has never been a full 90 player, so that is another if you use him. Sometimes by process of elimination rakitic stays out there even when certainly not best for him.

We'll need some major tactical changes to bring the ball up better, not only just individual names. There's a long discussion to be had about off the ball movement. Without a different manager how we play would differ only slightly. We could have Xavi and Iniesta circa 2011 and we still wouldn't play that much different from now.

It's because our core has aged. The movement off the ball isn't anywhere close to what it was during Xavi, Iniesta days. Even Busquets this season has looked a little bit leggy. It's a different era.
