Brace yourself lads! BBZ essays about how Raki is better than Arthur are coming!

That's not even a challenge.
Everyone is better than Arthur.

We need a new duel.

Rakitic suits DM now in his current physical condition. He gets a lot of flack but in my opinion he's been solid since the restart. I'd avoid ever pairing him and Busquets but he's doing well and scored the crucial goal tonight.

Nice goal when the team needed it. I must say, despite his limitations, in these setups where we face a team defending and we are attacking, he is very useful. Because he knows how to attack space.

About Raki, my theory is that is he is ok-ish now because he had 3 Months of rest.

Remember that he played 5 seasons with 50+ matches per season under Lucho and Ev, rarely subbed, and 120-ish matches in a row in 2017/18-2018/19 due to a World cup final.

He is not AS BAD as he was in the last 12-18 months.

He's been way more energetic. Probably because of the extended break.

I mean if he desperately doesn't want to leave it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him run out his contract I guess, but he shouldn't start complaining to the media all the time about his minutes then.

He was benched alot in Luchos last season, also I'd argue he has been playing very well not just ok since the corona break

The break could be a blessing for us.. but we need to avoid bad choices like pairing Rakitic with Busquets, or playing Arthur at all in his current state. Also avoid griezmann and we should be ok.
