11 - Raphinha

[OVI9323]

He's doing good... It's just that he didn't have the chance to express himself but this man is a true alternative to dembele. Not at all the same time of player but in term of stat, he is... and it's only his first season here... and doesn't look like injure prone

 

[serghei]

Contributed 18 goals and assist total, in 37 games this season all comps, quietly having a very impactful season even if his overall game isn't very pleasing to the eye just yet.

Imo, he can even up those numbers by a fair bit next season. His shooting has been bad so far, and the Bilbao goal is the first real class execution from him this season in terms of shooting ability, since the Clasico preseason derby.

At Leads his shooting was more precise and powerful. More goals from long-ish range. Needs to adds some of those for us as well.

He will score quite a good volume of "easy" goals thanks to a) his mentality, b) his insane stamina, c) his movement up front. If he can complete those with a few personal signature goals in terms of top class executions... he's going places.

I wish he was right footed.

We need to admit he is lion, he is fighting, he is mentaly strong...

If we bring real right back, who can go forward and give some support, he can even have better stats.

 

[serghei]

This guy is just built differently compared to most of our squad. Can't beat genes I think. Some players are build like athletes, others are built like schoolboys.

Raphinha, Gavi, are probably our most physical players. They go full-tilt in every duel almost and don't get injured.

 

[PhilS]

Coming into his own with Dembele out. It remains to be seen if he can play this well when Dembele is on the field with him. If any case, when your second-best forward is Dembele, you have to have someone capable of stepping up when Dembele is injured, so Raphinha fits quite well with this squad. It takes quite a while to adjust to playing for Barca, I expect we will continue to see improvement from this guy.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

He's been getting lucky recently same with Barca in league play, can't expect it to last.

 

[JerseyAddict]

He is out for a next match?

 

[te amo barca]

Big game today, was the driving force behind our attacks in the final third.

 

[Devils]

Great tonight.

Opposite of his usual performance where he managed to play very well but didn't manage to score or assist.

 

[jamrock]

Good game tonight

 

[Barcaman]

Very good and worked hard as well.

 

[Richard.H]

Fantastic game, so dangerous in the first half. Really coming into his own

 

[CatalinR10]

good game

 

[Andresito]

Great game. Dangerous whenever he has the ball.
