11 - Raphinha

[Horatio]

@Horatio apologize he can play RW lol

when doesnt need to cut inside and shoot yes.

But point is he heavily prefers left side. Became an issue under Xavi.

But with more freedom given by Flick it matters a bit less.

He cant play touchline RW is the point.

Biggets numpty claim is he should play CF.

When freedom to run onto ball is what he is all about.

That much we know.

Xavi played him at LW btw, but not getting into that, just messing around

 

[JamDav1982]

Xavi barely played him LW and Raphinha himself wanted to leave due to Xavi.

 

[Barcaman]

He's back! Could have been a 2nd half hattrick too

 

[Horatio]

Yes. That was why he was so eager for the 3rd

 

[JamDav1982]

Roony didnt harm himself either but isnt the late runner into box either the way Raph is.

 

[CatalinR10]

Just in time for Newcastle

Now, according to RAC1, Raphinha was supposed to be included in the starting lineup for Barcelona vs Valencia.

However, he was benched by Flick as a punishment for being late to a pre-match activation session.
