Ivan Rakitić

[Barcaman]

Brought a lot of stability.

And fighting spirit.

We look so much better with him.

 

[barcanuck]

He needs to be brought back into the starting 11 on regular basis.

Yeah he has the RCM position locked. Only thing Arda and Bob have over him is their ability to play alot more positions.

 

[Lomar1o]

im starting to like raki more and more!

 

[BBZ8800]

He was really missed in the 1st half. His overall contribution is sadly overlooked by many.

He does a lot of things which can't be measured in numbers or which can't be spotted that easily.
But when he is not on the field, then it is much easier to realize what Rakitic brings to this team, even though he is not the flashiest player in the world.

 

[Barcilliant]

He brings alot of hard work and physical presence to the team. Alot of times this is overlooked by fans who only notice the more skilled players. He gives us balance.

 

[EdmondDantes]

He played really really well. And has been doing so for a while now. There's no way he should be losing his spot just now.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I am telling y'all all the time how important Raki is. Especially when he is struggling.

 

[El Flaco]

Him and Marlboro were responsable for Iñaki Williams'. goal..

 

[dakt]

Him and Marlboro were responsable for Iñaki Williams'. goal..

Then again, he practically saved 2 goals.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Another very good performance I thought.

 

[Barcaman]

Then again, he practically saved 2 goals.

One definitely (Aduriz shot block in 1st half) Can't remember the second.

Solid in midfield but obviously suffered without calming factor of Busquets.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Nice dummy for Suarez' goal btw.

 

[Theoden]

Another solid performance.Not sure that dummy was on purpose?

 

[Kerrybai]

He's peaking at the perfect time of the season, almost the opposite of Fabregas.

 

[Jaguar]

Another solid performance.Not sure that dummy was on purpose?

He doesn't have a big forehead for nothing
