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

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

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!

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

Alioski is not a premiership player.

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...

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
Signed

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. :love:

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

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...
