Raphinha

[Lumiukko]

We'll do well to hold on to him in summer. If he plays out the rest of this season to the same quality he's worth >40 million

Class act, brilliant individual performance

We wouldn't have won that match tonight without Raphinha & Rodrigo

Too right had they not started we would have lost.

Exactly. 11 v 9 would have made it an uphill task right from the start

[danhirons]

also like that he's willing to do the dirty stuff - tracking back, tackling, physical work, headers

our only player really quick and skilful enough to run at the opposition!

[Doire_Boi]

At least our medical staff done their homework on him and rodrigo or god knows where we would be sitting.

Exactly. 11 v 9 would have made it an uphill task right from the start

11 v 7 as Bamford & Alioski didn't turned up for 90% of the game

Alioski is not a premiership player.

[Smudge3920]

So calm and his confidence abounds...looked up and made a clinical finish with his goal..(reminescant of Pablo)...and that pass to Harrison, has to be one of the passes off the season perfection...a gem...

most of our points were taken prior to them making the team...and hitting there peak

Another absolute class performance from the best Brazilian in the Premier League.

He is who we need to build our team around.

2 or 3 more like him in cm and on left wing we can he a real force.

Love Raph.

His workrate though is a pleasant surprise. You expect silky skills from a Brazilian.

You dont necessarily expect them to sprint more than any other player in the league per game (was a twitter stat that said something like that).

Even today he was practically on his knees with 10 mins left, nothing left.

Awesome again.

13 Premier league games worth of minutes.
4 goals
4 assists

Agreed. A couple more Raphinhas and we can challenge for Europe.

Interestingly Brexit will make it easier to sign players from South America. Thiago Almada and a couple of Brazilian wonderkids please.

Rodrigo is also Brazilian.

(alongside Rapha) Almada, De Paul, Pulgar: Job done

[1964white]

Another top show from the classiest player on the park

Makes the game look so easy!

Edit - Moved to other Raphinha thread...

[The Subhuman]

TBF should have had at least 4 MOTM performances in our polls, been robbed 3 times. IMO

[Cjay]

Filthy

Could be the filthiest bit of skill Elland Road has seen

[Smudge3920]

Totally owned Cahill there CJ...that should have been a panalty also...ref has discretion if player is falling into box, ...and no doubt it was a foul...

[1964white]

So much vision & skill in his locker.
