Definitely judge him thrown in at the deep end against a premier league team alongside other squad members who aren’t regular starters.

We are judging him off the 8 months he’s been here.

He’s hardly played any football since coming here in summer. Been injured and not really played games with the 1st team. Let’s not write him off as he’s very well thought of in training.

Absolutely.

The time will probably come when - due to injuries, loss of form or player sales - he will get a run of games.

Don’t even think of judging him before then.

Stick the kid in the u21s until he builds up a jordan ponticelli like cult following then unleash him on Crawley town in the cup bag a couple and we will see him at Tamworth in 5 years

There is already a cult that are repeating the notion he is fantastic in training based off absolutely nothing

going by what Lampard thinks of him, we’ll see him a lot more next season, he’s getting more and more minutes, looks decent, better on the right though

Picks up all the cones & markers at the end of the session in double quick time was what I was told.

Agreed and his sub appearances

Cardiff - 1 minute
Swansea - 1 minute
Leeds - 6 minutes
Sheff wed - 15 mins
Ipswich - 15 mins.

Given his injury/fitness issue I don't think we can judge him until next season. Lampard obviously sees something in him as he keeps giving him little cameos.

eastwoodsdustman · Feb 9, 2025

I did notice him sprint across the edge of the box to chase a loose ball yesterday and he surprised me with how quick he was. He did a couple of things yesterday that show that he has something but he will need more game time to be judged.

quinn1971 · Feb 9, 2025

if lampard thinks your decent then that’ll do

larry_david · Feb 9, 2025

Without comparing him to gyokeres, because it's ridiculous but he reminds me of gyokeres on loan where sometimes it looked like he's got his shoes on the wrong feet

Few times Rapha yesterday had the ball and nearly fell over it and just ran into people blindly. I'm not impressed from what I've seen but I'm not short sighted enough to write him off.

He'll need alot of time though.

fatso · Feb 9, 2025

Guys, people were writing EMC off earlier in the season when he obviously wasn't fully match fit and was being used out of position. Now he's the new Ronaldo on here.

Realistically Raphael is one for next season, it looks like he's being given a very slow introduction, and he's shown little bits of quality, he's fast and has quick feet, but unless we find ourselves 3-0 up at half time in a game, I wouldn't expect to see much of him till next season.

Interesting that he got the nod from the bench on that left hand side over Bassette against Leeds as well.

Think Lampard does seem the rate Raphael, but he's going to get even less chances once Wright and Mason-Clark are back

Think we brought him in as cover on the right, he’s totally right footed, lampard said he’s a great signing by the club, one for next season

rexo87 · Feb 9, 2025

I think he might be ok. He just needs to adapt to how little time you get on the ball at this level. 10-15 mins here and there will help him

Ccfcisparks · Feb 9, 2025

Nonsense judging him yet to be honest

quinn1971 · Feb 9, 2025

sorry if the link doesn’t work but high praise from Lampard

Always good to hear about that mentality seems to have the same as Norman, thats what we want players that are hungry and passionate willing to get on the pitch and show their talent

fatso · Feb 9, 2025

Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course, but he could of played two lots of 90 minutes in the last week.

We wouldn't of been any worse off.

Ccfcisparks · Feb 9, 2025

Judging by Lampards words I suspect him to feature heavily next season

Premier League is a big step up though...

Or loaned out where he's not risking our results by being played regularly. However I'd argue training with players like wright, emc will be beneficial

Great_Expectations · Feb 9, 2025

Just very raw, naive and not used to the physicality of the league yet.

It’s great he wants to take people on and try and drive forward, but he’ll need more in his arsenal to succeed doing in doing that. He loves a heavy touch too.

All things that will improve with experience and top coaching.

I dunno, the words are hollow when he’s changed the formation to not have to play him

That’s more than enough time

blunted · Feb 9, 2025

If we could be 4-0 up ho,ho, and bossing a game, I would like to see him given a good 30 mins to see how he gets on.
