Ivan Rakitić

[Vilarrubi]

Yeah Lucho, clearly wanted to make him a starter and even benched Rakitic for a short time for it but as you can see he just wasn't good enough for it.

This season though with FDJ and Arthur exploding on to the scene, Rakitic doesn't appear to have really any use for us bar a sub-option if needed now. Completely different from the last couple of years where he was untouchable.

Agree, thank god for those two, hilarious to think the board thought that Gomes could be the future of our midfield.

That Balon D'or clause

It's so refreshing to see De Jong sprint forward with the ball, pushing all the opponents away, isn't scared to lose ball, I wonder what was Rakitic thinking when he smoked through 4 midfielders last game.

Everything this dude does has 0 real intentions. He does stuff just to create illusion. Just watch him when he receives the ball when he has space, he'll go 2 steps forward, look in front of him, pretend that he’s looking for a killer pass,... and only then he’ll turn his back (because an opponent is coming at him) and backpass to Piqué.

Even when he "pressures"... He doesn’t really press, he just pretends to do so. He’ll watch opponent play around, then when they’re near our box and when they’re about to shoot, Rakitic will start coming at them, just to make it seem like he’s defending hard...

And geniuses like BBZ call this behaviour "workhorse".

Absolute coward in his game. I actually do believe that all our midfielders are more useful than this guy at this point. Except Roberto maybe, the other midfield fraud.

And some morons will try and criticize Arthur, our best CM since August 2018, which is when he first came here as a 21 years old kid from Brazil.

The worst day in FC Barcelona's history:

The second worst day in FC Barcelona's history:

Bump.

He is lost today.

After doing extensive reasearch on Sofascore ,Whoscored , Livescore etc. I can say with absolute certainty that Rakitic had a good game.

 

[evilhita666]

Useless...

 

[Zidane82]

Useless...

Worse than useless given that it was Rakitic’s fat backside that blocked Suarez’s first half free kick !!

 

[EdmondDantes]

Another clown who's still getting undeserved minutes here. Finished and useless.

 

[clemente]

Was cracking up every time he passed backwards, because De Jong literally always dragged the ball forward, his value his literally 0 now, only getting called up ahead of Alena because we can't even sell him for 10m.

 

[Sorin]

Stealing a living at this point.

What happened? Has the cat got your tongue, mate?

You've no qualms about bashing players' performances and yet after Dortmund and Granada, no word on your fav Ivan, eh? Typical.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Maybe if he is smart enough he will think twice about leaving... If another coach comes he will try to fight or somethin but I don't see him bringing back ...

His questionable numbers won't work anymore, but he will try later, make no mistake about it.
Just as he is trying to defend Valverde in Griezmann's thread now.
