It's so strange to me, as a player Xavi was all about tactics, thinking and on pitch intelligence. As a manager, he is so obsessed with intensity intensity intensity that seems to think that every problem in the team must only be because they aren't running enough, without realising football is...

Serghei talking about pre Ukrainian War Shakhtar. Gotta love it.

My problem isnt the score. My problem is we genuinely dont look superior to them. They look like they are a similar level to us. Not, we are doing good but just unlucky to go down 1-0. They deserve it.

Yeah but defense was somewhat better even if we did still give up chances. Now this season we give up way more chances as well having very dull offensive play.

True. Midfield without and with him is night and day.

We are just not that good this season to be honest.

Vicario is having the game of his career.

Tottenham are playing their defensive line on the halfway mark with 9 men. :lol: :lol: Ange is built different.

Its more like Pedri - 120m De Jong - 100m Gavi - 80m

Lets see but currently there is a team 4 points ahead of us playing brilliant football who were in Segunda 2 seasons ago. Only team it should be "acceptable" to finish behind is Madrid and if we do it should be because they were very good.

Nah dont think it is as hard as you're claiming to win LaLiga in its current state. Particularly not when you have teams like Girona 4 points ahead of you.

So shouldnt sack any manager who has won a league title before?

We see time after time that Bundesliga is just a very easy league for attackers. Numbers there should be taken with caution.

Fair enough mate. Its nice to see people who were very behind him admit that he might not be it. I think we need to see how this season ends before making a change though. I would like to see Arteta/Inzaghi as the main targets.

Sometimes you need to work smarter not harder. Him charging around the pitch actually negatively detracted from the team.

I have a certain amount of slack for Xavi because a couple very key midfielders were injured but we need to see better play when they come back. Pedri and FDJ just levels above what likes of Romeu or Gavi or even Fermin at times been adding.

To be honest these wins mean nothing and I don't think these lucky 1-0s were ever part of his plan at all. I think it is something he stumbled across and kind of went with. It works in the league because the quality of attackers in Spain is dirt poor right now so playing dull defensive games...

League can be valuable but if you want to give credit for doing well there you also have to criticise when done poorly.

Kubo would be great for us.

Gavi is just dumb. Sorry. Stupid stupid kid
