11 - Raphinha

Garcia injury might be the bigger blow.

Meniscus injuries tend to be LONG Lasting.

Boy I missed him today... haven't missed a player this much in years.

Lack his big dick comeback energy without him. True captain of this team.

Missed his defensive shift, but rashford did well in attack, most that would have happened was him starting over olmo, because rashford had to start this game and was always going to on current form

he could’ve substituted Yamal earlier as he was struggling out there. His value isn’t only as a starter.

When Garcia was subbed off he looked very annoyed. He didn't even clap. He knew he could have helped Barca a lot today. His pressing is super crucial for Flick style.

As I have been saying for a long time. I think this game was another reminder for me.

We have seen what both of our ST bring to the team. There are deficiencies in both of their game. Ferran isn't clinical enough, and gets bullied of the ball far too easily. Lewa doesn't have any workrate, and we get fucked because of that.

Think its high time, we try Raphinha as a CF, when he comes back. He is both Clinical in front of the goal, has the workrate, and doesn't get bullied of the ball so easily. And having Raphinha as the CF, lets us play Rashford as a LW.
And if you ask me, who will I pick between Rashford, Lewa & Ferran? It is Rashy everyday of the week.

I don't think we would have so much trouble in the Midfield if Raphinha was playing yesterday.

Remember that whole thing about Ancelotti not calling any Madrid boys but then calling Raphinha and playing him in two nonsense games.

With his injury, Worked a treat didn't it.

National teams are against us.

Raphinha playing made absolutely no sense.
