Ivan Rakitić

....Getting pressed hard and ceding possession might be a new experience after decade of Xaviesta excellence but let's not make stuff up now, tactically and with the player material available we are doing excellent (far better than overhyped Kroos-Modric midfield) and it's not just Messi dribbling 5 defenders every time.

Messi isn't also why we are barely conceding goals. Except for one match vs Roma in the big matches we have been very good defensively or organizationally under EV. Messi certainly is half of our offense and our attacking creativity--but he is doing brilliantly and this formula looks to be working well, strong favorites to win 5/6 major trophies in his 1st two years.

3-0 vs Liverpool
3-0 vs United
5-1 vs Lyon
3-0 vs Madrid
2-0 vs Atletico
6-1 vs Sevilla
3-0 vs Juventus
5-1 vs Madrid
4-2 vs Spurs
5-0 vs Sevilla
3-0 vs Chelsea
3-0 vs Madrid

All that is a FLUKE though. What isn't a fluke is that ONE other result. In 10 years, Barcaforum will still hold a minute of silence in memory of it.

 

[Horatio]

Valverde big game killer.

Unreal! What i've noticed is we don't control games as well as we used to but our opponents don't have as many clear chances against us.

 

[Ripsta]

He needs to fucking retire, he's the slowest footballer i've ever seen, thinks he has all the time in the world too.

Busquets has been bad, but this guy takes the piss. He's the most ordinary midfielder in recent memory, offers absolute fuck all other than the odd thunderbolt every season.

 

[Calidad]

This is my problem with him. He never steps up. He’s always so lethargic and one paced. When does he ever do anything decisive?

 

[Alik]

Worst midfielder on the pitch right now.

 

[Tekkers]

if he has the nerve to ask for an extension after this shitshow performance he put on man... OMFG

just sell him. please. just sell him.

completely outworked by vidal and that liverpool midfield

 

[AL-MALKI]

This mother@$%^@& must leave he and that cunt Valverde they made us the laughing stock in Europe

 

[te amo barca]

Bad game.

 

[evilhita666]

Oh man, if we renew this guy... A passenger for years, managed to be even worse than Busquets all season long... I don't want to see him wearing our shirt ever again...

 

[raedkuwait]

Sell him ASP so fucking bad

 

[xXKonan]

If this guy has the balls to come out and say he deserves a contract extension again I will fucking laugh my ass off.

Goes into hiding like he usually does in games like this. He has to hide behind a declining Busi to wipe his ass on the ball and Vidal to cover him defensively. One of the main culprits on why we are so shitty in Europe in the last couple of years.

Disgraceful compared to his 14/15 self.

 

[Catta]

SELL

Leave this club and take EV with you.

 

[Vahue]

He and Busquets are something else. My granny moves quicker and she's been dead for 2 years.
