Absolutely insane how much better he is on the '10' position than on wing, very nice passes into the box
11 - Raphinha
- Thread starter snowy
- Start date

Flick is trying to use him to shadow everything Lewa cant/shouldnt be asked to do at this age.
Other team has ball.. Raphinha leads the press on CBs as Lewa sits on DM.
Barca have the ball v high line.. Lewa comes deep to drag CBs and Raphinha leads the way in making a run in behind.
He doesnt really have the pause at times to be top top class at AM but he brings a hell of a lot there and more suited than out wide.
Think his place is nailed in the team with how he is the legs of Lewa and he also showed qualites on ball and can finish in and around box.

People need to listen to Jammie more. He was insisting Raphinha should play AM from the start.

His switches are really nice and has surprisingly accurate long passing.

Madre mia, if that is not his best performance in a Barca shirt I am Imane Khelif in a cocktail dress twirling pom poms.
Outstanding. As complete as you could wish for. Tackling, pressing, shooting, through balls, long passes, crosses, fast one touch play. All at a high level.
Let him never play on the wing again. 2 performances at attacking midfield, both class. Makes the signing of Dani Olmo even more infuriating as one of them will have to play out of position.

Cheers youngblood.
Also was saying Pedri deeper and advocating for the debuts of Cubarsi and Bernal.
Even was being told was clueless when said Christensen could be tried in midfield ahead of Romeu..
But haters gonna hate innit.

Olmo can and most likely will play where Ferran played today.

Y'all were complaining about raphinha and every turn and talking about how poor he is.
Lol
Me and @serghei were the ones ride with raphinha for season one and 1 or 2 other guys.
Now the entire forum is a fan, typical reactionary from Barca forum.
If it was up to 98% of the forum, Raphinha would be sold a long time ago, not for financial reasons, but because he wasn't "good" enough.
Bunch of bandwagonist, 😆.

Well, it's something we have been discussing here since at least 1-2 years back, when we realized that Raphina is ass receiving the ball on the by line

He cant play RW to a high level for this Barca as not good enough 1v1.
Said from start he fits in more of AM role.
May not start when all fit even then lets see but he has been showing more in there for what the team needs.
You didnt want Olmo and wanted Gundogan to stay.. so lets see.

Pointing out Xavi bought the wrong player to play as a wide winger, which he did, is different than saying he's a bad player or disliking him. I said he suits playing as an AM since he can't dribble or beat opponents wide 1 vs 1. His lungs are better utilized there too where he can press several areas.
He did okay today when he moved to the LW, but against a decent FB he will never be a good winger for Barca.
Besides, 90% of my hate has been and will forever be directed to Torres 🥰
