Raphinha Is OUT… And Flick Has A BIG Decision To Make

Raphinha is OUT with a hamstring injury — and now Hansi Flick faces one of the biggest decisions of Barcelona’s season.

  1. Against Atleti, I'd prefer either of Fermin or Gavi, because of their workrates. Against Espanyol, Vigo, Getafe, and Osasuna, Rashford can be the starter.

    We've already seen what inadequate pressing did at The Metropolitano, and so Fermin or Gavi are the best pressers of the lot, from my view.

  2. There is also the possibility to try Lamine on the left and give Bardghji minutes on the right. Might be worth a try I think

  3. And again we lost important player in stupid international useless game… lets hope that something horrible will not happen in Spanish national team. For me Rapinha is in top 3 most important players in team and he is lost in crucial time of season… its time for players like Rashford, Olmo and Torres to shows us what they can do. Rashford delivered last time and i hope that he will do it again, i like him as a player and those 30m buyout option is a joke and i would buy him but those rumors about Schjelderup for less money are tempting.

  4. They can try Roony, maybe even Yamal on the left. Or change formation to a 4-4-2? But we don’t have complete strikers for that. 🫪 there is a reason I’m a fan and not a coach! I don’t know what I’m talking about. lol

  5. Raphina hurt at this stage of the season 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 its halfway over for us. He's hurting alot this season is over now 😢😢😢

  6. how are we in this situation with relying on trash players like olmost and feraverage. these players should have been sold and replaced after their first season.
    there are mid table teams with better wingers and strikers… how is that possible?

  7. I know this might seem awkward but i feel if we use cancelo as a LW it will pay dividends
    Because cancelo is more potent in the final third with his sharp dribbles and pin point crosses and would also track back to help defensively because he has the instincts of a defender

  8. Rashford is an option, but i bet we'll see a lot of Fermin play there with Olmo as CAM. Maybe even Gavi will get some minutes and play LW

  9. Cancelo can play there if Balde is available. Or Lamine can experiment on the left switching with Fermin from time to time while Rooney will stay on the right. Afterall everyone will always expect Lamine on the right and beclming too predictable is a bad thing considering the kind of opponets we have in the coming weeks

  10. Yes i know 5 weeks in the row we wil not have him availble anymore that wil be tough but managble stil we won 11 games with out him before we can't be dependant on him all the time like on Yamal and Pedri other players needs to step up like Roony and Rashford if they want to stay what i really doubt they are going to do this is what happends when you play in meaningless and pointless friendlies that doesn't matter and isn't importent you don't play for anything at all only making your debut and it is short term match and then its forgotten in the end.
