11 - Raphinha

[Jadentheman]

Don't believe the Twitter hype. I am not slandering him for his performance, just warning all you to temper your expectations. People actually believe he's the next Ronaldinho or Neymar He'll be a decent team player but I am not seeing a world class superstar. Stop falling for the Brazilian tax. There will be a generational player to come back to Bar?a, it's just not him.

 

[Temptation]

He's never been good enough to start for a team hoping to win the CL.

He's a good player. That's it. Good.

He's a winger with no vision and weak link up play who goes for glory all the time and hits the bullseye once in a while. He thinks he's Arjen Robben but he's really really not.

 

[Horatio]

Yeah, I am starting to think we might have overrated his current level. There is hoping for he has a high ceiling and he will grow here.

 

[Givenchy]

He isn't going to be the next Neymar, that is clear. I'm hopeful he can step up a level though. Don't shit on our parade, I'm just happy we have 2 pacey wingers again after fuck knows how long.

 

[Sailor Mars]

Neymar was a child prodigy and had tons of hype for several years before he even moved to Europe. Neymar is and was several levels above Raphinha.

Positive today.. His body language is all aggression and that's whats lacking in this tame ass team led by the flaccid dick buskets. Not worried about clumsy shooting and passing it will come.

That passing has been pretty consistent since he started at Vitoria de Guitars in 2016 so don't expect it to change. It isn't that bad though as he tends to take risks with many of his long passes, and isn't one of those guys to get 80% pass conpleted

I don't think anybody expected him to be the next Neymar or Ronaldinho. Nobody really hyped me that much. He was pursued because we thought Dembele was going to leave and we needed a RW that is not Ferran. He is a very good player, showed what he can do during preseason and this was just his first official game, not worried about it.

True. He is not generational player and that's fine.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Biggest problem is his inability to beat 1 v 1 and worse attempting to do so repeatedly, he's not as bad as Ferret but that doesn't say much

 

[jamrock]

Nerves probably got the best of him, give it a few games.

 

[Devils]

How come in the burning heat and humidity in mid-August this cat is wearing long sleeve shirts that you normally see footballer wear in winter?

FFS man, come on.

 

[utility73]

Was very motivated and active, tried a lot but nearly nothing he tried worked.
Hopefully just a bad unlucky night or him being overly nervous and not representative of what?s to come.

 

[Zidane82]

He had an off day ... have we really all forgotten that first touch and piledriver goal against Real Madrid

 

[OVI9323]

Less useful of the 3 forward yersteday, but only the first game and i'll not forget that he's still new here...
