Joan Fontes on Raphinha alleged unhappiness with Xavi: - In negotiations to sign him, he was promised he would play on the right. - He doesn't like being told to play so close to the touchline. - Xavi confuses him.

People seem to think the team playing one good 45 minutes in an entire CL campaign apparently proves Xavi is a good manager. :lol:

So it's ok to lose to Bayern over 3 games with an 8 nil aggregate? Whilst much worse teams taken points off them and Plzen scored 2 against them?

Guy caught a cross then collapsed to the ground :lol: :lol: Most obvious time wasting ever.

Girona GK :lol: :lol: :lol:

Refs probably caused Madrid to drop points today, whilst we gained points because of some refs decisions.

Wow then what a save by the Girona GK there.

Shite teams every week giving them more trouble than we did but it is some impossible task to beat them according to certain people.

Girona player headbutts Vinicius = yellow card, lol. Alonso studs up on foot yesterday = yellow card and not red. But as per usual all we do is whine about refs despite not acknowledging it tends to go both ways 99% of the time over the course of a league season.

Good point.

I guess here's the thing results wise : His Liga performance : Acceptable Knockout performance : Terrible Overall performance : Bad? So where does that leave us on the evaluation of him as a coach, considering the team don't play very good football and we haven't seen him really improve or...

Really? You see players running up to people and barging them to the floor unprovoked when the ball goes out? If they were in a conflict or something ok, but he appears to have done it randomly.. not clear why. In a more important match he could get a red there, someone should tear into him...

Charging someone to the ground when the ball is out of play is violent conduct. And would be checked in a game of higher stakes. But I guess we can't say that as we start losing the excuse of the refs if we fall behind in LaLiga?

He's actually doing pretty good at Espanyol and scoring a few goals. Being one of their best players. Shows you level of LL, we cursed him so much and saw how bad he was for us sometimes and he is still a top player for some relegation teams.

We drop to round of 16 so assuming we go all the way, 3 rounds and then the final. Saying that I don't even think we will, but if we get a good draw who knows we could win it.

I think he intentionally tries to shoot through the defenders legs or past their legs, I have seen him do it so many times. Good tactic as keepers struggle to see those but not always easy to pull off.

We are passing through the same stage we did last season, but earlier now. Started well in league smashing some opponents, then European embarrassment (Frankfurt, now group stage elimination) then started to scrape out LL results like we're doing now with Valencia, Celta, Mallorca, and it...

Because he didn't actually look good. He scored like what, 10 league goals in his time there? At a team that's a big chance factory? Haaland took like 5 games to match his entire City scoring record. Obviously Ferran is not Haaland but to show how easy it is to score goals there, and he didn't...

He already had one. Where he produced 2 G+A.
