Ivan Rakitić

[dakt]

At times he seems overconfident and loses possession quite easily.

 

[ThwiX]

He's been very disappointing to me so far. Needs to step it up ASAP.

 

[DonAndres]

I thought he was very solid today. Won the ball back a lot of times to keep the pressure in Levante's half. Not much to say in terms of playmaking but there were very few effective outlets today and he was in a holding role.

 

[Neymessi]

He played very deep yesterday and so had little effect.

 

[Barcaman]

Rakitic is back!

 

[barcanuck]

He never left.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Will have another big part to play this season. Still is a class act

 

[Kuchi]

He was poor, has been poor for a while. Lost to many balls in our third. Still long way to go in terms of keeping ball under pressure

 

[Observer]

One of his worst performances unfortunately, will turn around I'm sure

 

[dakt]

I don't feel very secure with him in the midfield...has has some great forward long balls, but when the pressure is on, he's lost.

 

[Obiaseti]

Good game today. Still can't believe we got him so cheap.

 

[Bran the Greenseer]

I don't feel very secure with him in the midfield...has has some great forward long balls, but when the pressure is on, he's lost.

The weird thing is, at the tail end of last season he was fine with pressure, its like he's still on vacation.

Good game today. Still can't believe we got him so cheap.

He was terrible.

The game changed when he and Iniesta went off. No control of midfield at all.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Good game today. Still can't believe we got him so cheap.

Really?

 

[Obiaseti]

I guess it's subjective but I thought he played well very few unforced errors and created a lot of positive plays. But I also thought Iniesta was good today.
