Guardiola or Klopp would.
They have their teams playing far better attacking football with a few workhorses and only 1 true midfield beast - KDB (FDJ isn't quite there but he's WC).

Oh because you decide which stats we should select and which ones we won’t ?
You should add farts stats in there. Rakitic has probably had more farts than Arthur, the croatian might even have shit his pants more than once when under pressure.
How do you like this reply pal ?

Have you posted a source with Arthur's won balls from the last El Classico?
When you find a source, check stats from other players also.
Then check stats over a whole season also for stats on larger samples.
I have done that.
Now try to find stats over a whole season where Arthur is not the weakest defender in our team.
I'll guess that you will offer only insults since there is no way that you will find those stats anywhere on internet.
Busi is meh at everything lately.
Raki can defend.
Arthur is good at press resistance and possession.
Vidal can make tackles but is kinda wild.
Apart from Frenkie, all midfielders are flawed in one or several areas.
Arthur is meh just like other players.
But with a different set of flaws.
He fixes one problem and adds two new ones.
Since Madrid was basically controlling the ball in front of our box the whole game and our defense was scrambling to clear, it doesn't really surprise anyone that he's able to put in average defensive stats.
2012 Chelsea would be proud.
Now that "defense contribution" is out of the way, how about the midfield performance instead of bastardised CB
What angered me the most yesterday was watching the replay of him pulling the shirt of Varane.
I mean how retarded is he to do that, knowing that 3 days earlier we conceded a costly penalty for EXACTLY the same type of shit?
We got away with it this time, but holy shit he would've been hung had the ref given a penalty.

We literally get fucked in the ass by refs every single game, and now in el clasico game that has the most eyes on, we get 2 bullshit decisions, now we suddenly are the team that gets refs help all over again, have to listen to these Madrid melts even though they won 2 leagues because of ref decisions.
Also them not getting a pen means that this cunt still has his spot secured, there is 0% chance Valverde is capable to grasp how garbage he was yesterday, at least the pen might have opened his eyes a little.

imagine being a rakishit fanboy in 2020

A winner and a looser. modric who is still twice of a player is rotting on the bench where rakishit is still a starter here. Unbelieveable.... The state of our midfield is more than worrying.

I've heard he also said that he's proud of how the team played.
Dude is everything what's wrong with Barcelona.

And that is coming back to real life and among mortals?
Where he have always been except during Messi-Xaviniesta, and that era is finished.
When you are a mortal, you have the same problems as other teams.
You struggle, you get outplayed and dominated sometimes.
I know that this concept sounds as a Sci-Fi or horror for anyone who lived for too long in a dreamland caused by our golden years.

Why doesn't this guy get banned? Others were banned for less while this guy trolls day in day out and somehow has the balls to accuse US of being spoilt when we criticize Raki and EV for their current gimmicks.
Oh and you didn't reply to my EV reply to yours where you selectively posted Liverpools good home record to show that the "The liverpool loss wasn't that bad" and conveniently missed the fact that they started the 2nd leg without their 2 best players back then in Salah and Firmino
I have no problem with us struggling from time to time and I dont expect us to find another Xavi or Iniesta, but our standard cant be as low as Rakitic right now. Just compare his performance as a holding midfielder to Casemiros yesterday. Night and day. You wouldnt guess who the central and who the defensive midfielder is. Its absolutely ridiculous how little quality on the ball Rakitic offers. And even defensively hes at best bang average, you would think hes Kante level the way you talk about him.
So hes neither good enough on the ball to be a CM (like Arthur/Frenkie are) or good enough defensively to be a DM (like Casemiro, Kante, Fabinho etc). So again, why exactly should we settle for him? Right now we are pretty limited in midfield options, but getting rid of him (and Vidal) will be a damn good start. And suddenly our future looks less bleak.
Oh, the irony.
The very same wanker that told BBZ to commit suicide is now calling for his ban yet again.
Have some shame and piss off.
