11 - Raphinha

[Horatio]

I was thinking about this last night. Did he ever have a good game when Yamal was missing?

Yamal rarely missed a game. Can’t imagine there being a sample size to draw this conclusion from.

Of course. Just 2 weeks ago he wrecked Bilbao.

For me Yamal is clearly Barcas best player but at same time need likes of Raphinha and what he brings.

Outwith the Supercup I dont think Raphinha has been that great this season yet really on the left but will improve.

Bilbao in Arabia? We counting friendlies now?

Yamal is 80℅ of our creativity in the team. Other 20℅ Fermin, Pedri, sometimes Rashford

So it is not surprising really that Rapha doesn't do well when Lamine is missing. He is on the other end of chances created and finishes them off ruthlessly

Things are tough for Lamine too when there is no Raphinha to work his ass off and finish most great chances he creates
