Barcelona are in a real spot of bother right now.

The Blaugrana may currently be top of La Liga on goal difference, but they have dropped seven of the last nine points available.

They were held to a 2-2 draw by Girona, were beaten 2-1 by Leganes and just about scraped a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

Munir came off the bench to score late on, but it simply papered over the cracks of a terrible performance at the Nou Camp.

Lionel Messi was given a rest and Ernesto Valverde's side simply could not cope without the magnificent Argentine.

Had he not come off the bench in the second-half, it's unlikely that Barca would have even picked up a point.

A number of big names turned in woeful perofmrnaues against Bilbao, but it was Ivan Rakitic who was criticised the most on Twitter.

The Croatian has struggled since his return from a very successful World Cup, with many supporters calling for Arturo Vidal or Arthur Melo to start in his place regularly.

And one Barca fan took matters into his own hands after Saturday's draw, making a compilation video of Rakitic's performance against Bilbao.

It's hard to ignore just how poor he looks.

You just don't expect to see that from a Barcelona midfielder. Misplaced passes, no positional sense and the inability to beat an opponent.

The fact Vidal was the one substituted instead of Rakitic speaks volumes about the faith Valverde has in the Croatian.

Reaction from Barca fans to his performance was also pretty scathing and here's a selection of the best tweets.

You'd be surprised if he's given the nod to start against Tottenham in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Barca will now embark on their toughest run of the season, with Valencia, Sevilla and Real Madrid their next three La Liga fixtures.
