Blaugrana al vent
Would be world class pinning long balls to runners in another team.
Lad was poor, but he has only started one match this entire season and it's unrealistic to expect him to hit the ground running coming off the bench sporadically at this age.
Be fair now.
I don't get it.
You throw all your weight behind Valverde and only every now and then say something meaningless like "I want him gone, too!", but then you come in here and defend players who played abysmally... by making a ton of excuses that are entirely the fault of Valverde.
Why has Rakitic only started one match? Valverde.
Why does he only come off the bench sporadically? Valverde.
Why was Rakitic subbed on at all, with these factors in mind? Valverde.
Why was a CM who can only pass backwards subbed on when the team was desperate for a goal? Valverde.
The decision making is tier 0 management but somehow... You're still on team Valverde, and no matter what you say it's clear where your loyalties lie. It's just so fascinating. The entire "Cult of Valverde" as was once dubbed here has all but vanished, as it has become impossible to really defend this man, yet here you are, fighting the good fight. You've had to alter your stance from "He's not a bad manager" to "I would keep him even though he's awful", but you're still finding ways to support his run as manager continuing.
I'm not trying to attack you or accuse you of trolling or anything like that. It's just as a veteran poster here on 2 separate accounts, I've seen a lot of professional contrarians come and go (You and that bastard Jamdav would have hit it off), but most of the time what they're doing is pretty obvious. With you, I don't know if I've ever seen someone so genuinely... blind.
Rakitić has not yet given up to stay at Barça. He will continue fighting to recover the confidence that Valverde has lost in him, but he has assumed that if his situation does not change during these weeks before Christmas, he will look for a different team. [md]

When Dembele delivers to Barça even half what Raki did you can compare him... Start from the price tag, then go to the actualy playing and finish with UCL final goal.
Dembele did nothing but missed sitters at Camp Nou against Liverpool.
Raki fucked up at Anfield big time. So did the rest of the squad. Or one man is to blame for 4 0 defeat.
Dembele fucked up against Lpool.
Dembele nver plays
Debele is instantly injured.
Dembele costed us 100+m€.
