Rafinha Alcantara

Funny how people tend to think he's better in AM, while he hasn't played there a lot this year.
He had like 7 appearances in the right wing, just 2 in AM and 17 in CM, and his better ratings were in the wings and in CM.

Are those official stats? I dont get to watch celta games and a lot of the neysayers always say he plays mostly as a winger or a AM. I believe he can play CM well enough to deserve a place in our squad right now though and with time he might become the starter we need.

Whoscored is the only site I know of that give stats per position, and it's generally good, so I trust it.
I think he drops back a bit when playing in the wings, which makes it seem as if he's playing in AM.

He's starting against RM.

How did he do? I could barely keep it together to watch Atleti and Barca play, so I couldn't catch Madrid's game.

He did alright. The game was fairly combative and rapidly changing so he didn't get the chance to showcase all his abilities. He worked very hard and was involved in a lot of buildup.

I'm fairly certain this isn't at all influenced by Thiago quitting the club last summer.

I think he'll make it big here.

.....unless we buy a midfielder this summer and make the same mistake we made with Thiago.

With all due respect to Tito, I'm doubt we'll be that stupid twice.

Some people on this forum seem to think we should...
