11 - Raphinha

[Birdy]

Birdy didn't rate him? Lol

A common tactic by liars like McLovin is to not utter wholesome lies, but half-lies:
conceal an essential part of a statement in order to completely change its meaning

True, I rated Dembele over Raphina, and I still do
But that is as an OUT AND OUT touchline RW, isolation winger, the role that Xavi was using them in his system.

Yet, I was only among the very few (te amo, and one more I can't remember who) that argued that Raphina might be trash as touchline RW, but if used DIFFERENTLY (more in an AM or central role) he might be a different player.

That was when every one else that comes here now pretending, as good Monday-morning quarterback, that they always loved Raphina, were calling him donkey at the same time last season

30 G+A in 26 games.

Baller.

It's crazy that has good as raphinha and lewa has been this season.

A 17 year old kid is still the absolute clue to the attacking play of the team.

I think we have 0 wins in games he didn't start.

If we had a solid bench it wouldn't be a huge issue at all. That's why we need to sign a winger that has quality.

If we can get a proper left forward donkey deserves a chance at CF where his limited skillset won't be as big of issue.

I'm not even sure what "limited skillset" is supposed to mean. Every player has a limited skillset. Rapha can't dribble as well as some other players, but those same players can't do some of the things Rapha can. So it evens out I guess.
