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.

Pena?! Seriously?

He must hate MaTs 🤣🤣

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Also i would switch pass Ronny with Messi, would say both are close in that discipline but in passing Messi > Ronny

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

And they take aura but not dribbling in that list??🤣

 

[Barcaman]

He's a winner through and through.

Because he runs constantly and makes these efforts of course he's gonna flip at some shit decisions that hinder the play.

 

[Loki]

He has scored under Flick in half a season as much as in both previous seasons combined.
That's how much Flick's vertical football favors him in comparison to Xavi's slow chess football. Now we see why he was one of the best PL wingers.

[Birdy]

The previous seasons he had as much goals as assists more or less

This season he is going to doubling his assist tally by the end,
but TRIPLE or even QUADRUPLE his goal tally!

Hansi unleashed the beast

 

[Andresito]

I had no idea he played in Portugal and France before joining Leeds. Is this news to anyone else too?

I know he played at Rennes, but never knew he played in Portugal
