Tony Dorigo praises Adam Forshaw, makes Raphinha call ahead of Leeds United v Liverpool
Tony Dorigo has waxed lyrical over Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw ahead of the Liverpool Premier League clash on Wednesday.
Marcelo Bielsa asked the Englishman to play in a deeper role against Manchester United and he put in an impressive performance.
Dorigo also wants the Argentine to bring Raphinha back into the squad after he was dropped for the last Premier League game.
The BT Sport pundit, “The changes at the break were so important, Adam Forshaw dropped deeper and looked fantastic, he really got stuck in.
“For me, Raphinha plays against Liverpool. Should he have started against Manchester United is the million-dollar question.
“It was a big surprise to see him on the bench because I always think, with your best players or those who can do something others can’t, even when they’re having a bad time and Raphinha hadn’t played well in his last two games, the big games are their stage.
“Raphinha can do things his teammates cannot and it felt like his game to go and do something.”
Bring both in
Forshaw and Raphinha, along with Joe Gelhardt, helped turn the game around against Manchester United.
Bielsa brought them off the bench to fantastic effect and that was the right call made by him.
Raphinha may be out of form, but his goal against the Manchester outfit proved just how good he is.
Even he’s not having the best of times, he can switch things on in the blink of an eye and win games all by himself.
Given how attack-minded Liverpool’s full-backs are, Raphinha could have a field day in front of them and he needs to start.
