I thought he had an excellent game, not sure what has happened to make him perform well. Risk of transfer? Scared of Puig taking his spot? Very interesting to say the least.
Jekyll and Hyde performance from Rakitic.
If you guys think he was 'great' in the first half that in itself tells the story. He was bang average, doing what a guy is supposed to do and nothing more. Tomas Partey probably has halves like this on his off day. We expect him to constantly fuck up, and he didn't. He was still backward looking all the time, and he made a couple of interceptions. It's jarring to hear words like 'great half'. Our expectations have hit rock bottom.
Second half he got back to his true level though.
