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 🥰
I'm just happy more people have joined the wagon.

He's been very good for us since signing, the numbers speak for themselves, the amount of loss he's turnt to draws and draws to win, highly impactful.

People were too focused on, oh he's not beating his man off the dribble and not looking at what he offers on the field.

No.. that is legitimate criticism for him out wide which is why was behind Dembele as a RW in his first season and behind a 16 yr old for majoriry of last season.

Folk were 'looking at what he offers' hence why it was said he would be best off punted and another profile taken in if he is to be wide player and would be more suited to playing inside.

Barca/Raphinha are not playing like did yesterday with 'best player in the team' Gundogan who it was mocked that others said should go.

They are not playing like did yesterday if Xavi had remained as some wanted.

Next on 'Project Raphinha'.. see how adept he can be to play left wing back and the width of Balde.

Because the attacking LB area in this team is one of the most exposed in this team if Balde goes down or needs rested.

Try it when winning and games done.

Fair chance they still want Cancelo and waiting to see if can but fuck it try Raph there see how gets on.

They said he was a bad signing.
Now they are all on his nutz.

Can't trust these bum ass posters.

I am the only one who knew he was a star.
Never trust the bum ass posters, they flip so easy, you'd think they're figo.

Bad transfer they were all saying, he's an very good transfer, one of many.

Aye like Olmo is a bad transfer and Xavi/Gundogan should still be at club.

Folk fair went 'Figo' on those ones.

Faye is better than Cubarsi.. Casado is better than Bernal who is over rated and years away at best.

More 'figo'

Top stuff.

Raphinha for a wide player was not right profile.. always said that and he would be better suited to Barca at AM areas if he is there.

Fake news... you said Olmo should not be signed. Gundogan has to stay.

Said Xavi was doing good job and should stay.

Said Bernal years away and would start Casado ahead of him.

Stop lying 'Figo'.

Raphinha is very good both wide and in AM. Rubbish to say wasn't good wide since he had the best end product per 90 mins played in the entire team probably.

His problem last season was injuries and being benched too often and too early by Xavi. His efficiency was always there. People still ignore the fact that we won the title in 2023 due to his clutch goals and assists late in the season.

Flick is handling him better than Xavi so far simply because he values his workrate more. You don't sub intense players that can run late in the game just like in the beginning in min 60 or 70.

Besides, him playing AM is more due to many absences in midfield. He is expected to dispatch Torres when Olmo, Gavi and the others will available.
