Rakitic was subpar for most of the season, also he always had to cover up the whole right flank, not just this season, no excuse for him to underperform so often, only at the end of the season he picked it up. Busquets was injured most of the season, only at february picked his form back and was world class again, barely any tactics were changed from last season so I'm not sure what you are even talking about. I never said I want to get rid either of them, I see you have nothing to say and are just talking out of your ass now. Roberto never played in midfield this season, the closest he came to midfield was 3-4-3, where he was pretty much playing the same as a right back, I can't believe this is what you judge from that he is good enough to play in the center midfield. And last season he wasn't that good in midfield, whenever he played it looked like we will never score, there was no creativity, but I'm not surprised you wouldn't remember that.
