Ivan Rakitić

[Deco 20]

Great assist and some good play in general

 

[Neymessi]

He isn't a lost cause after all like suarez. Cut down on his back passing a lot.

 

[Total-Football]

he put on a shift today. Tried to press, made some interceptions -one led to a goal- and distributed the ball well. Still, he wasn't creative enough with the ball; as usual.

 

[evilhita666]

Finally a good game!

 

[PhilS]

Fantastic today. He and Iniesta are so superior to Barca's other options.

 

[Sorin]

Best match from him this season. Besides the pass for the goal I also think he deserved a penalty. LaLiga refs shit as usual.

 

[Alik]

Definitely a penalty.

 

[unknowngenius10]

2 ASSISTS. It's almost as if Valverde has decided to give barca a more direct style and players like Rakitic and Alcacer are benefeting more from this.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Great game

 

[MessiCam]

He lives. If he performs like that consistently you will hear no complaints form me.

 

[BBZ8800]

He played like Rakitic from 2014/2015 when he was an okish player.

A lot of forward passes.

 

[FCBfan22]

He was great in the Sevilla game. We will see what's the matter with our dear Ivan soon. If he goes straight back to his old side and back passing self in the next game against Leganes I think it's a serious problem of motivation and attitude. In that case he needs to fight for his starting spot more and needs to be benched every other game. If he remains in such a form, great (and it's great for Croatia's international side too).

 

[Neymessi]

That pass to paco for the goal. Was it him?

 

[FCBfan22]

For the first, that pass was Suarez, for the second, that cross was Rakitić.

 

[JerseyAddict]

He played like Rakitic from 2014/2015 when he was an okish player.

A lot of forward passes.

We will see it soon at Maksimir how he will play vs, Greece. There we need 2014/15 Rakitić.
