Great match in the end.

He scored last game, now scored and made assists, made influence on first goal, next game if he performs well, he can start being what we hopes so he can be.

Could it be that Dembele injury was a break he needed. Either way happy he is finding his groove as I just started to doubt him.

Keep it up

Definitely helps.

It not easy to set out a team for two players as different as Dembele and Raphinha and flip between the two.

Raphinha was more or less an AM at times that second half. Even seemed to have freedom to press centrally also.

 

[Kul_z]

Even with goal and assist he looks clumsy as fuck. It could be pressure, but damn. We have a major problem with our wings and their decision making, they are all horrendous. Dont know if im spoiled because of years of watching messi executing passes, goals, danger chances from that positions, but fuck me even draxler had more quality outputs then our attacking boys.

Raphinha was class in that second half and his touch for first goal was immaculate also.

Raphinha was class in that second half and his touch for first goal was immaculate also.

But thats the thing. He got many chances in good positions where he showed nothing, lost the ball, slipped, terrible cross or too much ball hogging. This was very poor sevilla side, but in some more crucial/harder fixtures cant put those chances in thrash can. He showed up as soon sevilla deployed a high line, space in front him with only if one player in front of him.

 

[Horatio]

Nice job lad. Hope it instills confidence.

 

[Givenchy]

Seems when Xavi is getting ready to sub him he pulls his shit together. Should have Ferran warming up from the 1st minute next match.

He's never going to be an elegant player or 'smooth' with the ball, he looks very erratic similar to Dembouz but as long as hes scoring/assisting, I couldn't give a shit about aesthetics.

He scored/assisted and was involves in other with a great touch.

Was brilliant in second half.

 

[vuji_31]

Okay, he can be Dembele's sub next season.

LW: Zaha, Fati
ST: Lewa,Auba
RW: Dembele, Rapinha

He had the pre-assist in the first goal with a nice one touch pass to Kessie, and that was before Sevilla deployed a high line and was still playing a low block.

With all due respect, his position and pre-assists dont count that much. He should be an attacking prowler, which he was in pl and i hope he finds his confidence yet again.

Used to trash Dembele for 5 years but this Raphinha guy can't even tie Dembele's shoelaces.


Let's be srs.

[Andresito]

Manages to get G/A lately but he's a frustrating watch.

Thought he could be a Mane/Salah who just needed that last step up to a big side, but not sure if he'll ever be a reliable starter for us. Looks awkward at times, as if he can't control his legs.
