11 - Raphinha

Horatio

You're welcome
imo rapinha is not creative but does create.
He creates chances for us by winning ball up high, which increases our attacking output and also at times when opponent is not organized yet so chances become bigger.

love him but showed today he falls a bit shy of technical finesse. Simple long ball intended at Olmo but wide. Almost decapitated olmo with the cross. Pass between opponents played into feet of opponent.

Chip was class. Amazing goal.

Talking about Balondor and why he thinks should have won it again...

He is absolutely deluded if thinks he was better than Yamal this season or this.

Good stats this season but has been fucking awful in a lot of games also. Will need more from him as season goes on.

He is completely differrent player to Yamal. He needs spaces and a team that doesn't sit back on two rows defending like 20m away from their goal to make the most out of Raphinha.

He will never be the type of player to give him the ball in static positions and expect him to beat 1-2 opponents and create stuff on his own.

Sometimes Yamal will be more decisive, sometimes Raphinha will be. It is not a competition between them. Neither deserved the BD last season in the end. It was always gonna go to a PSG player the way they played in CL.

Strange forum is not giving him [+]^ about it. Imagine it were Lamine.

Raphinha seems to mention it near on every month at this point.

Hasnt played that well this season outwith the Supercup so far.

Feels like Yamal knows he is the best player in team and relaxed with it while Raphinpha desperately wants to be seen as such.

I don't remember him mentioning it so often

What he said is wrong but this is the mentality most great players have. The gap between him, Lamine and Dembele was close but Lamine was best of the lot

Dont agree. It seems the most insecure ones talk about deserving these awards.

Can barely remember Messi talking about it when didnt win while Ronaldo never stops.

Yamal doesnt mention it nearly as much as Raphinha seems to at any given opportunity.,

As said Yamal in similar way to Messi knows he is the best in the team and one of best in world so doesnt need to try and persuade everyone else.

All I see is a front trio of winners and big confidence. As long as their egos don't clash I'm fine with it. Recently the comradery between them is bringing me a lot of joy.

The humble type of Messi genius is once in a lifetime. The previous incarnation of genius was Maradona and he was the complete opposite of Messi's character.

People caving in and admitting my raphinha psychoanalysis of a year ago might not have been off the mark.

@Barcaman

Everyone knows he should have been in top 3 at least.
While having a great season too, Lamine didnt have his numbers nor the work rate. People often overlook this second aspect because they are idiots and just see the game one-dimensionally.

Also, don't see Raphinha as a big ego player at all. He sacrifices himself too much for this team to be called that way.

I never said he has big ego.
