After Vinicius went to shite and Mbappe moved to 9... don't think there is any LW around better than Raphinha. We probably have the best wingers in the world.
It is quite normal for players who have been 2 months out to take a bit of time to get back in full form.
He will correct that soon if he is fit. :lol:
But in the big games he played, which as said involves all CL level Spanish teams, nobody matched his end product. That is my point. And probably nobody will in the remainder of the season.
Obtained and converted the pen for the oppener, almost scored a golazo from 25m. That's the point. Even if he doesn't have an amazing performance, he tends to always do something that leads to a goal. For himself or for a teammate.
Yeah, games we lost and played like shite in. Doesn't get higher difficulty in Spain atm than Madrid, Villareal, Atletico and Bilbao. Forgot Bilbao :lol: These are the CL teams of Spain.
Well, he played AM and Madrid. Toughest opponents domestically. Instrumental in both wins. Ah, Villareal also. Played vs 3 out of the best 4 teams in Spain last season. Instrumental vs Villareal, AM, Madrid wins.
Funny to mention tough games considering this guy's numbers in CL and Clasicos.
We've ran circles around this a lot, but you don't think he is our most important player? For me he is no1 and Yamal close 2nd. Pedri 3rd.
When Yamal will improve his shooting and will become a more reliable scorer...
It's some little thing. What matters is that his decisions are correct, and they were, with VAR, all major decisions checked out. Even the Lamine offside, the margins are a joke, but it's the same in tennis with hawkeye.
He does better when he is not one of the main scoring threats. Made a big impact vs AM and Espanyol, but today he missed about 3-4 sitters by himself. One of those matches where all offensive players caught a shite night, and the most clutch player we have was missing. We take it and move on...
