Its the tactics. Some strange sort of system where they are moving in between the Getafe CBs when team have ball and too advanced for anyone to find them when should be dropping deep and making things happen.

Is match chat done forever?

Alba instead of Ansu or Ferran at winger really says everything about how he views the squad.

Iniestagoat keeping a firm watch on all these cartoons trying to find anything to shit on XAVI. HANDING OUT L's to the Braciaalliant 2.0s and 3.0s

The second goal should be the killer blow. They just concede way too much for how good their attack is.

I am a Xavi critic but you have to be fair and credit him for what he has brought - he manages the politics of the club very well, he has motivated the players a lot, the intensity of the team is incredibly high compared to recent years, he is a good man manager and clearly built a sense of...

To be honest I don't think they will move forward with Rodrygo specifically. Maybe produced one of the most clutch moments in modern history though. But is still very raw and developmental and doesn't seem to be always good from the start yet (similar with Camavinga).

Just because the flaw was hidden before doesn't mean it isn't there. Can clearly see he can't carry the ball and is slow just more exposed in a worse team and higher level. As jamdav noted above can probably do much better with some legs next to him to open up space and give him time on the ball.

Enzo is a flawed player. His base technical skills are great but he is seriously inagile and slow, he is basically unable to carry the ball, I don't think I've seen him go on one decent dribble since he joined Chelsea. If he gets the ball it's already left his feet in the next 2 seconds. Just a...

Squad quality relative to the league is most relevant. Check top scorer list for LaLiga now and any list from like 2017 backward. Guys like Joselu are competing for Pichichi at the moment, in 2015 he wouldn't even make top15 in his life. League used to be far better so have to consider that as...

If Madrid had shortened the gap to 5-6 points at the moment it is most likely they end up winning it with the injuries and 'slump' in form we have recently. At this point last season they had 66 points, 7 more than their current of 59, so their league performance has definitely been worse. Very...

I add the caveat that he does have significant technical ability. My main problem with him is never wants to show it and just running into people and acting a hard man every game.

To be honest I think out of the best 11 he is one of the most replaceable. That he never gets injured isn't that relevant if he isn't adding much when he plays anyway other than work rate. There are plenty of workhorse ballwinner midfielders out there and many better than him. MATS, Dembele...

Yeah... Likes of Ferran and Fati are on world class level wages whilst contributing almost nothing. We said we left those type of contracts behind with Laporta but clearly we haven't. Still giving out big long contracts to meh players.

He is a great player. Feels like if he comes here though he will regress like every previously rated player does and people will say he was never good in the first place.

Iniestagoat taking out us cartoons one by one. Don't mess with the cartoon slayer.

Hold your horses. Sevilla didn't win. They were dominated the whole game and scraped a draw from 2 own goals.

I think Juventus and Allegri is a very good comparison. They suffer a lot basically every game but more often than not come out with the win against logic. Been winning games in Serie A the exact same way pretty much the whole season, with 1 goal wins almost every game. Without that huge...

United should be able to win the second leg. Controlled this game but conceded 2 stupid goals whilst Sevilla didn't really create anything. However, seeing a Segunda team as seed 1 in Champions League would be historic and hilarious. Imagine drawing a second division team as your seed 1. Hope...

He is quality, just a shame he gets injured so much because he can really do it all.
