He was brought in because Frankie was playing worse than him. Terrible game by Frankie, and he was rightly taken off. However, this doesn’t give an excuse for Raki to start over him.

Before the start of the game. Nothing to be upset about.

No. Not when a guy calls me deluded for saying Vidal is clearly better than Rakitic, which is obvious in every game for months.

In this chaos vidal is better suited then rakishit, and is more needed, correct, i think we both agree on that and a lot of other things too. I said that you are deluded because your hate for rakitic makes you 'blind' and makes you think that vidal is far more superior player then rakitic. I think that OVERALL vidal is a better player then rakishit, BUT HE DOESNT HAVE a better SHOT, PASS and that rakishit is a better 'baller'(player that is more elite with ball at his feet, with more elegance with the ball) but im not saying that he is ANYTHING near the TOP level middlefielder. BOTH OF THEM. Rakishit has some attributes, but thats it. Thats why i said youre deluded. Sorry if that disturbed you, it was not my intention. I hope its clearer now.

You didn't disturb me. All is fine. I don't hate Rakitic though, that part is just incorrect.

Rakitic was good in a team that he didn't have to make a difference because it wasn't his job. He was supposed to cover and distribute in a safe way. After his decline and the overall decline we are experiencing it is unjust to expect more from him than he could ever do.
The team is in such a state that even legit young talents like FDJ seem bad.
