11 - Raphinha

[KingLeo10]

If we win CL this fecker is the easiest Ballon d'Or winner in ages.

Like Kaka 07 when Kaka ran through everyone in CL

Yeah, but I find it very tough. He needs to produce some crazy good stuff vs Inter and the team around him has dropped a level. Our hopes cling on 4-5 top players producing the goods on the night. Raphinha, Yamal, Pedri, Olmo, and De Jong.

Well, obviously. That’s why it’s the CL and Ballon D’Or

The defense is in such a bad shape atm, that we could throw it away like idiots though. Absolutely shambolic this week. Could have shipped in 10 goals instead of 6.

Now I know why Bayern fans on recafe called Flick the defender's worst nightmare.

Convinced he is letting the front players stay higher up these last few games.

As in not to get them too tired, or?

Possibly as the full backs look far more exposed in last few games.

They have been getting doubled up on with Raphinha/Yamal or whoever nowhwere to be seen lot lore than normal it feels like.

It's very important to turn the page vs Mallorca and produce a controlled performance. Get the house in order in midfield and at the back. This type of stuff were attackers turn the game around from 2 goals down doesn't happen often.

 

[jamrock]

Nah it's yamal for the golden ball, our record without him speaks for itself.

But since that won't happen, then raph.

If we win the CL

Should stop letting bums score hat tricks on us for a start.

It’s purely concentration. CR7 never managed a hat trick on Barca in like 40 games

 

[JamDav1982]

Depends from here but if Barca win it Raphinhas CL stats stand out.

Even if Yamal was better player in tie v Dortmund etc it is very easy to build case on goals/assists.

Couldnt care less who would win it if Barca anywya.

 

[serghei]

Yamal wasn't really better than Raphinha vs Dortmund. Both had decisive plays in the 4-0.

Yamal was better player in first leg and both poor in 2nd.

I should get the name raphinha tatted to his right I was about him.

You wanted him sold if could get money back on him.

Calma.
