Raphina is OK.

Fantastic news. And massive relief.

Resting raph gives a chance for sommerville or geldheardt depending on how bielsa wants to play it.

Just seen that tackle. Red all day long.

As brilliant as he was yesterday, do you think we were more cohesive as a team after he went off? For the first hour, everything went through him. For the last 30, the rest of the team seemed to gel better.

Could have fired them all up, plus the subs were playing to impress the boss.

Hard to say but I recall klich with time right of edge of box to curl one and he chose to pass it 5 yards right to Raphinha. Certainly seen some body language from Raphinha this season to suggest he gets frustrated with his colleagues.

I thought he was going to lose the ball on the edge of our box when he was giving Meslier some grief while in possession.

Hope it's true that he isn't badly injured.

He was reported to have left ER on crutches with a protective boot on. Fingers crossed that it was just precautionary.
