Yesterday I was so pissed off. Valverde is a big coward. He treats Rakitic better than anybody and it pisses me off, especially when he's playing shit and still not criticized. If Dembele had a bang average game like Rakitic he would have been punished and benched for 5 games.Stop playing Rakitic and rest him. Aleña or Riqui would have been a better option instead of Rakitic against PSV. Vidal and Rakitic can't play together because both are workhorses. We needed control against PSV and Aleña was a better option. Rakitic and Vidal in the midfield is the best example of conservative football. Aleña with consistently game time will bench Rakitic but ofc that won't happen because the latter threatened Valverde to leave if he didn't play many games. And that coward Valverde being bullied by Rakitic is a disgrace. He is no Xavi. Should have just sold him to PSG for 125M last season. For me Vidal - Busi - Aleña were a better option and Riqui coming on from the bench.
Last season Valverde played zero la masia player in the CL even when he qualified. If I don't see Aleña or Riqui against spurs then I don't want to see people defending him. We should rest many of our players against spurs and especially Rakitic. Vidal seems to play better than him so I think even in big games we should play a midfield trio with Vidal - Busi - Arthur. Rakitic can fuck off to PSG if he wants. He's not bigger than the club. He can keep talking about Croatia, Sevilla and hint for a move because he's not a WC midfielder in a club that likes to play with the ball anyway. Can't wait to see a proper coach bully Rakitic off the club and play Vidal, Arthur, Aleña and Frenkie over him. Probably Riqui too when he's ready. Fuck Rakitic.
