what's the use. Raphina attempted 0 take on's and produced 0 cross.

Raphina is no use on LW. However, if you switch them, you make confusion in the back line, since they are both good dribblers on RW, but with different styles. We needed 47 fucking minutes to do that... Once...

At least he looks motivated, but come on, we can't rely on player as dumb as him... As shit as he was, he was the only one trying to create something...

Should've attempted more dribbles at the ending of the game imo cause Inter Milan literally locked all outlet, and dribbles was needed to create space
Most people can see how useless Raphina is on the the LW but Xavi is special.

Making him the talisman of the attack is a fail by Xavi. Not reliable nor consistent.

This is why Raphinha should start on the RW while Dembele should start on the LW.
It have worked so far this season, but Xavi decided to switch it up and use Raphinha as a left sided attacking midfielder. I know some people are going to post a page full of stats and xG graphs to show how Dembele is better on the RW and versus shit teams he really is, but in games like these you cannot have Dembele be the only creative outlet and let him have the ball 90% of the time because he has never shown good decision making in a game like this 5 years into his Barca career.
And no Ansu cannot start because Ansu looks shockingly bad physically so it have to be Dembele on the LW whenever he is available.

Man, the last 5 minutes was even worse when he left the wing and got into the box waiting for a chance so I don't think he's made the talisman by choice cause the team lacks so much creativity.
Nest case scenario is to switch Raphinha and Dembele every 10 minutes

Really nice of BarcaUniversal to leave out the big chance created.
