Ivan Rakitić

Nice goal and overall a good performance. For some reason he always plays good against Madrid. Anyway, it's early but I think he also feel much more comfortable in Valverde's system again playing more centrally so I expect a good season for him.

Why the F would ref insult him???

I don`t know. It`s weird, but I doubt he lied in the interview.

Credit to the big man.

Looks at home in Valverdes system.

 

[dakt]

He does. Last season he was off, looks quite promising for this one.

Fingers crossed for Raki.

What's

Fingers crossed for Raki.

What's happening ??

Hope he isn't having his hair cut again .... that's when he went krap last time

 

[JerseyAddict]

I think he is picking up again. I hope.

 

[Andresito]

Still feeling pretty meh.

The opponent was poor, but I was pretty disappointed with Iniesta+Rakitic.
Iniesta has a technique, but his legs are gone.

Rakitic, on the other hand, seems to be even slower than last season.
I hope that someone out of "other" midfielders will break into our starting midfield.
If we'll play AGAIN with Busi-Iniesta-Rakitic, it won't be too fun to watch long term.

Thought he has looked much better under Valverde in friendlies than did last season.

The players were just going through the motions for most part of second half but Raki and the rest of them were on it last night when tempo was higher.

Not true at all , he was much better the last time I saw him play.

I wonder how Rakitic is feeling as the Couthinho saga continues ...

If Couthinho does arrive that's more or less the last we will see of Rakitic ( thankfully ) but he's gonna be regretting those offers and enquiries we received for him over the last few weeks and apparently rejected .

Rak will play alongside Coutinho.

Rak will play alongside Coutinho.

Personally, I would give Bob that spot ahead of Rakitic.
