This guy is what I call a fucking workhorse ! Crazy amount of tackles, ball recoveries and defensive presence, plus he makes his presence felt in attack. This guy is a better version of what Rakitic used to be in 2014/2015. Actual Rakitic is just staying behind, nowhere to be seen offensively, a deep sitting backpass merchant. Rakitic needs to be dropped, he's useless in the starting 11 in our current team. Starting midfield needs to be Vidal/Coutinho-Arthur/Coutinho-Busquets.
Vidal is twice the player Rakitic is. Tremendous intensity, technically solid and positional sense both offense and defense. Love this player. I wanted him back when he was creating havoc with Juve. We will ALWAYS need a player like this no matter what style we play.
