Ivan Rakitić

oh good. Nice addition then.

I've been hating on him for some time now, but the last 2-3 games he's been playing well - I really hope I'll hav to eat my words. Hope he keeps it going!

The 2nd one is incredible. The first one can happen only against stupid teams.

Second one was actually pretty risky pass (low across the field), that would have been easily intercepted by better team.

A decent read. Have a go at it.

Good game I believe... He makes up for his imprecision with amazing lofted passes...

 

[Siberia]

imo he should have had an assist. that ball to suarez was perfect

 

[KyletheMuslim]

another great match today

Good game. Becoming more and more consistent lately. Deserves to be in starting 11.

great game . that ball to suarez was superb.

Reminded me of the fantastic Xavi pass to Bojan against Sevilla in 09/10.

Solid read.
Indeed, Xavi's injury was a blessing in disguise. But I don't think Lucho was wrong for benching him for a while. Except for that Bernabéu loss.

Another top notch game. This Messi-winger system against bunker defenses suits him well.

Jeez, Elche again on Saturday. Will probably get a rest and give Xavi/Rafinha/Roberto a run-out.

I think he's getting better , and his shooting power should be used more often , especially when the 300 passes to go 10 yards is not working.

Very happy with his recent performances. While he had some decent performance right from the start, he always went AWOL against formidable opponents.
But now he had two very strong and confident showings against Atlético which makes me somewhat optimistic about his future at Barça.

He was the transfer of the summer for sure. We'll have a lot of fun with that guy. I was sceptical at first, but he's good.
