Ivan Rakitić

[FC B]

Rakitic quickly becoming an irreplaceable feature for this team. Hard to fathom he has only played in like 4 official games so far. Unreal!

Agreed

 

[Luftstalag14]

What?

He meant Rakitic was nowhere to be seen on the pitch before the game (because he was in the dressing room), and he was on the pitch after the game when everyone else had left because he was giving interviews.

 

[dakt]

What?

I think he judges the player by how they do before and after the game....it's true, he's invisible before the game.

 

[sabby]

We should officially rename this thread Rocketic

 

[Darko]

A bit sloppy sometimes but good game, that tackle and that goal

 

[raki]

For 18M i consider Rocketic a bargain.

 

[barcanuck]

When RAKI was signed we all envisioned a goal like he scored today! Truly a hallmark of what he can do for us!

 

[Sid90]

Rocketic scoring the rocket as per his name...so no surprises there!!!

[Barcaman]

People complaining about few misplaced passes on that awful pitch :sigh:

What did Busquets and Iniesta do tonight btw?

 

[Dan1983]

Proving to be a brilliant signing so far.

 

[DinhoR10]

So far the best signing of the transfer window of any top team along with costa and cesc.

True.
Messi himself also blew many attacking chances, miss passed, lost balls tonight.

Rocketic was solid. I voted him the man of the match and a few o those minor mistakes really do not count as long as they don't mean goals against or serious threats.

 

[barcanuck]

140 touches, 120 passes, 91% pass accuracy.

3 interceptions including that game saving deflection.

He was dispossed once and turned the ball over twice but saving a goal and scoring the bomb that ended Levante's night makes him 2nd best on the pitch today !
