No, all the metrics (and eyes) show busi has been just as "mediocre". Sell them both while they have some solid value.
And i said id keep arthur, but no dont pretend the reason is because he has been so good the last many weeks.
Mate just shut the fuck up already. Now I understand why you always use stats: you have a mediocre football knowledge and what your eyes see is bullshit most of the time.
Busquets has been an average player, but he still contributes more defensively and offensively than this neutral Casper player Rakishit. The simple fact that morons like you and Raketa10 always need to talk about Busquets when Rakitic is being criticized is the proof that both of you are Ivan’s fanboys. You are always ignoring one fact: Busquets is playing in a system that doesn’t fit his characteristics. We can’t say the same about Rakitic. And still Busquets is outperforming the Croat.
Don’t you Raki fanboys wanna talk about your hero’s positioning ? Do you wanna talk about how he completely ignores his CM role and sticks Busquets and Piqué’s ass on the field, which creates a huge emptiness offensively ? This guy single handily creates a huge unbalance in his team ! Are you gonna talk about how he throws himself to the ground and pretends to be dying as soon as he gets pressured by opposition ? Are you gonna talk about Rakitic non existent creativity and offensive contribution ? These are all Rakitic flaws that Busquets doesn’t have, and which make Busquets by far a superior player, even this washed up version of Busquets. Busquets even creates more and gives far more key passes despite having a more defensive role on paper. Where’s your stats little boy ? You look lost.
Most of people here would sell Busquets or at least remove his starter status, including me. But don’t act like Rakitic and Busquets are equally harmful for this team. Rakitic is a much bigger fraud than Busquets, that’s why getting rid of him first is the priority.
Are we gonna talk about Ivan’s rat acts outside the pitch ? I know since years that this dude is a rat. The first sign was when he went and bashed Enrique publicly because Enrique had the audacity to put Ivan’s fraud ass on the bench for a few games in 16-17 season. Enrique is the guy who gave this fraud a career at Barca. Are we gonna talk about he goes out and says that FDJ won’t touch his spot ? What do you have to say about his behavior when he got subbed yesterday ? The fact that some of you need to diss Arthur (a 21yo kid who just came from Brazil) to make a 31yo senior Rakitic (starter since 2014 here) look better is very telling about how shit a player he became.
He’s a rat on top of being a useless footballer. He’s far behind Busquets, Vidal and Arthur. He should have been in competition with Alena and Puig. One good match every 2 months won’t change that.
Oh and btw what do you have to say about Coutinho’s season ? Do you still think that he is (I quote) "linking up great with Suarez and Messi, and deserves to be in the starting 11 for that" ?
As I said: shit football knowledge. That’s why you need stats, otherwise you have nothing concrete to say.
Where’s fucking BBZ and his famous "coach knows better" "workhorses Rakitic & Vidal over schoolboys will win us a CL" ?
You guys are just as much frauds as Rakitic, Valverde and Coutinho. Frauds defending frauds, that’s what you are. Now that this season exposed y’all, do us a favor: STFU for a moment. Thanks.
PS: [MENTION=18675]messi2140[/MENTION] this thread won’t be named "Rakishit" because this forum is full of Croats, and they’ll never admit that this guy is shit, even if it’s obvious for blind people.
