Ivan Rakitić

[Gnidrologist]

Literally standing in the middle of the park the whole time as if the football match going around him isn't his business. Still miraculous that Ernie took him off. They probably had a fight last night.

 

[Devils]

Going from Rakitic to FDJ is gonna be like going from a Fiat to a Ferrari, dawg.

Days are numbered.

 

[Raketa10]

Terrible game from him.

 

[EdmondDantes]

One of his worst games in a Barcelona shirt.

Got his pocket picked in the first half near our goal despite having about 30 seconds to decide what to do with the ball, we were lucky not to concede there.


Defensively: statuesque

Passing: very poor

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

We need to sell him. Sell while he still has that World Cup buzz on him like Mina!

 

[tacticvarium]

Both Rakitić and Coutinho must be sold this summer

 

[Cule4life]

To those who still want him to stay next season/keep starting- stop watching football, you don't understand it and you never will

 

[YodaMaster]

good imo, vidal brought physical,,, but we lost balance without raki.

if stay on he might have scored screamer like v totenham........

Shut your troll mouth already.

 

[xXKonan]

He was so positionally lazy when we had the ball today.

Hardly wants to create space or move around to help out Arthur/Busi. He always thinks he's entitled to be the deepest midfielder.

balance my ass

 

[Gnidrologist]

Maybe he meant 'ballast'?

 

[Joan]

Very bad tonight. Valverde was right to sub him off.

 

[Enjoy your life]

balance my ass

do u think bale would have that empty net chance if raki was on pitch defending ? ?

vidal was standing in middle of pitch picking his nose and not tracking back.......

that is raki specialty. he is slow, but he would be in position to block pass.

that is the beauty of raki,,, he does little stuff no fans notice, but he is so vital to the team.

fans don't understand the importance of such player..... but coach like valverde and lucho do and love him.....

for barca simple minded fans arthur holding ball needlessly for 10 seconds and passing it a sideways is a wow, not raki playing good position with defensive awareness.

 

[te amo barca]

At this age he is not a player to keep starting every game. Playing once a week would improve his performances significantly. He's been playing non-stop for the previous two weeks and that is showing.

We're stupid if we don't sell in the summer.
