Ivan Rakitić

[FlaFCB]

So I praise him for that. See MotM thread. I just don't glorify him always amd alltime.

I wait for him to step up against Juve and then Bayern (you see what I just did) and then I will build him a throne after Monaco

I think Don Ak was talking about the double standards some here have, regarding Neymar. Suarez gets a pass when he's in bad form, Neymar doesn't.
I've seen many here say "if he does that I'll praise him", and even if he does it, they later lambast him in the first chance. I'm not talking about you, btw, just in general.
It's clear Neymar isn't criticized here in the same way as most players. He's more in the arda category for a lot of people, although he's been a great player for Barça this far, unlike arda.

 

[Barcaman]

Neymar was very poor for a year and he repeatedly got a pass here by many so yeah, double standards are nothing new.

 

[FlaFCB]

I don't remember him getting a pass here at all. Also, "poor for a year" it's what I was talking about... He was never bad for that long. He had spells of bad form, and couldn't replicate his 2015 peak, but still wasn't as bad as portrayed by some here. And the problem was collective, but he was getting the most criticism, for some "reason". There is still people saying he's bad now, because he isn't scoring a lot.

 

[Barcaman]

I remember him being quite poor since last spring and still getting praised. Posts are there if you want to dig them up.

 

[DonAK]

Which is exactly what I'm talking about.

Some called him for useless and the root of all our problems while others hailed him as the best thing ever.

Two extremes, no middle ground, and there's no need for anyone to bring their age up or when you started watching Barca because I don't give a shit.

I'm pretty sure there are Barca fans who watched the team during the 50s, 60s who have different opinions so when you started to watch the team because you were born earlier is irrelevant and just a poor argument. It's an arrogant way of saying that your opinion matter more.

Well I don't give a shit that you don't give a shit nor should I gave a shit that some of you were trying to bait with Croatia link because that's where it all started. But I lowered myself to that retarded accusations regarding my nationality so here we are.

In a discussion in a bar if kids came up to guys like me and Jersey trying to question us they'd get laughed off if we'd even paid any attention to you at all. But here any little troll can sign up and throw dirt at lifelong fans.

You could do the same here.

 

[Barcaman]

I could but why would I stand and watch my countrymen being insulted.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Maybe we should all go back to Rakitić topic now when all is said and done.

 

[vigneshFCB]

A million times better than Gomes

 

[FlaFCB]

He's better than 3 gomes, let alone just one.

 

[sabby]

He's better than 3 gomes, let alone just one.

I think even I am better than Gomes

 

[JerseyAddict]

So criticised this year and now so missed.

 

[serghei]

The most overrated midfielder in the world.

this weak bodied pensioner needs to be sold in the summer. he was great in the treble season but he's lost his hunger and his physique and his fight.
