11 - Raphinha

[MonteCuler]

Cristiano won many of his Ballon d’Or by doing what Raphinha has done

Exactly and I never liked Ronaldo as a player because of this way of "contribution" and earning all the praise of media when other players around him were contributing even more.

Not going to be hypocritical now and hail Raphinha when he does the same. Of course it's helpful to be the output man, to be clutch in the most important moments but through the game you also need to do something, to be dangerous, to give them some fear.

We need a left winger in the summer for multiple reasons. To rest Lamine and to have a backup for Raphinha. In times when Rapha can't have impact, get on someone who can take on his man and get past defenses, do something, make a difference.

I feel for this guy.

 

[Catta]

Since playing for Brazil he is like a bad version of Cristiano. Only stats make him look good.

 

[fergus90]

He’s been quite off it for a while. Lovely finish but general play has dipped.

 

[serghei]

Some people around here have no idea what they are talking about. He just scored the goal that would've taken us to a CL final. Then procedeed to leave Yamal in a 1 vs 1 with the keeper with a great pass at the end.



He is mainly a clutch finisher and final pass guy. He delivered again. Had one serious chance, and he scored it.

 

[Temptation]

Scored an important goal but should have provided Yamal more of an option throughout this game to make things easier for him. His movement today wasn't the best.

 

[DonAK]

In games like these I'd rather have him in the middle as a CAM possibly with an actual LW who can cut inside and go outside and be a threat there.

Yes that's great but through the game he was absolutely useless, invisible, nowhere to be seen

We need all our players to perform through the game and not just step up in moments.

This guy is absolute favourite for the people like jamdav is, good statistics, He HAs a xg assist goal whatever the fuck that means but like, do you even watch the games? This guy is nowhere near barca attack quality. Ffs, i watched rivaldo, figo(pig), giuly( similar but giuly was better), ronaldinho, messi, neymar, amd this guy should be barca ballon d'or candidate? Its fucking tragedy what flick assembled that almost conquered the europe

He can do what likes of Pedri and Lamine can't do. And viceversa. Lamine was running hot and beating players for fun. But when it was time to put the ball in the net, he didn't do it.

Raphinha did. If other players would have scored their chances like Raphinha did, now we'd be making plans for the CL final. Football is about efficiency as much as anything.

Clutch Raphinha delivered again. Scored when he had to and put his team within 5 minutes from a CL final.

It’s probably accumulation of minutes but there is a 100% a dip in his general performance.

It’s a sign that he has improved massively though that he can still have very important moments despite that. A bit of depth is needed next season to keep these players fresher at the business end otherwise a similar fate will probably await in these competitions.

He’s had a tremendous season on the whole though.

 

[draconifire]

Without Him and Yamal. We wouldnt have come this close to winning.

Proud of him.

 

[Messi983]

Sell to Saudis for 100m and sign Papa Diallo.

Proud of him.

He's fucking regressed.
It's time to get a real LW to pair with Lamine,
Rapinha can be first off the bench
