Kroos is slow as a snail but man does he strike the ball clean. Best ball striking from any midfielder.

They havent fleshed out squad at all and have let important players leave whilst not replacing them. In addition to that core of their team is getting older and older and still relying on them. But, certain people here will tell you they have a better squad... 39 year old Modric, Joselu...

Quit bigging them up man. They are shite. Its obvious Barca is the better team by now and that includes Xavi doing better than Carlo.

But, you know, Serghei says we are fighting against all odds, and it is a miracle to win LaLiga against the giant Real Madrid who are just so much better. Reality - we are a better squad, better team, have better tactics. They are better in Europe because willing to play more versatile and try...

Fran Garcia is actually really bad. Wtf. Madrid looking like the shite team they are.

Garcia getting spun once again.

Yet in same paragraph you are saying the team shouldn't aim for big things and are 'fighting against all odds' by competing for LaLiga. Saying that we can't sign class players despite watching us sign Gundogan, Cancelo, Felix, Christensen, Kounde, Roque etc. Raphinha and Lewandowski too who you...

To be honest I don't know enough about his stint at Tottenham to comment. But just observing that something is seriously wrong there that isn't to do with the manager. I would expect much better with that squad really but don't think it is mostly the manager.

Im not sure it's his fault. Potter was also a very highly rated manager before trying to take over that mess of a club under Boehly.

Still somehow playing shite like Jackson up front, Gallagher, 39 year old Thiago Silva (even if he's been decent), Robert Sanchez, its a joke. They probably are the worst team at business ever seen in the Prem.

And yet, their team isnt better than it was 2 seasons ago.

Him getting sent by Celta mid led to the 1st goal.

Very few of them play 5 at the back in Liga. That's more common in Europe. The ones that do always give us trouble. But anyway if system is weak against 5 atb that's Xavi's job to change things up.

Better recently. Probably to do with the fact that he is playing midfield now. But still was getting spun and turned like a pretzel on some attacks and made a mistake leading to a goal.

We have such a deep squad at this point that injuries whilst disappointing allow other players to gain rhythm and show their qualities.

Fair. As long as this standard holds when bad results occur.

There you go... 'our players had a shit day'. Any bad performances never due to the manager, always due to the players. But if we win 5-0 it will be all Xavi and how fantastic his tactics are despite how you just said tactics are overrated.

So what would you call that game? This is the problem with you. Its hard to argue in good faith from someone who thinks Xavi can do no wrong and anything bad that happens is the players fault and everything good that happens is Xavi. He got it wrong today but team spirit pulled through and we...

Everything spot on. Beating Pep's City at this endgame stage is almost impossible. Best board, best finances, best manager, best players. How can anyone beat that in a league season. Liverpool lost 2 titles by 1 point!!! Imagine Pep never joined City. Klopp probably has 3 or 4 more PLs.

Of course it isn't his peak, he is 35 years old, that's impossible. But he isn't that heavily declined where can't use it to form a view of him. In general he is playing similarly to how he's always done.
