Ivan Rakitić

[rixxer]

Kinda funny how everybody was dickriding Rakitic and shitting on Fabregas when Barca won games. Now every second guy shits on Ivan.

There has to be a scapegoat, as always in here. Rakitic should be one of the last, but...
He was astounding last year in Liga and Europe League, but for some in here he is not world class for Barca. Bandwagon is stong.

It's basically what you do in the last game. Even Messi doesn't get spared when you see people wanting to sell him based on one game and are back to hailing him or in a hiding when he continues to do well LOL

The funny thing is that Rakitic came on when we were already losing and the team was in shambles... He has almost nothing to do with the defeat, if we are pointing fingers he should be one of the last to be singled out...

Exactly.

People calling him slow need to get a grip. He is still faster than Xavi, Iniesta and Busi.

He is a very good player but we need to start a settled 11. Lucho needs a clear idea of how he wants to play and who his starting 11 are.

Remember when Pep started rotating in his last season 11-12? We didn't look so good then-either. Yes, we were much better but nowhere near as good as the previous season.

Formations change during the match and are overrated imo.

Starting 11 should be-

Ter Stegen

Montoya Batra Mathieu Alba

Mascherano Busquets

Rakitic Rafina/Iniesta

Messi

Suarez Neymar

sensible first 11, except that bravo has been better, so ter stegen out bravo in, plus adriano to settle in at right back. he is best of the lot for now.

 

[Lomar1o]

this season in no particular order

our worst players: pique, pedro, roberto
average players, sometimes good, sometimes bad: xavi, ini, busi, alves
mostly good players: mascherano, mathieu
mostly good, best players: messi, neymar, rakitic, bravo
early to judge: rafinha, adriano, alba, ter stegen, munir, sandro, montoya, masip, vermaelen
destined to flop: douglas... jk it's too early to judge him too.

My only response is:

What a super-player Modric is! Probably the best midfielder on the planet right now. Along with Koke and Vidal.

wth makes vidal and koke best midfielders? koke never impresses me, has no dominance in his game, vidal seems like good player but nothing special.

 

[Gohan]

Vidal is insanely overrated, he is by all means no 'complete midfielder'.

 

[DonAK]

I would say it's Pogba and not Vidal who is overrated.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Vidal is insanely overrated, he is by all means no 'complete midfielder'.

He is probably the best box-to-box midfielder in the world right now. That would make him pretty complete.

 

[Jägermeister]

I would say it's Pogba and not Vidal who is overrated.

They both are.
