Now praising Bayern and saying that we are in a rebuild with youngsters, despite stating there would be no transition years, and selling off important parts of the club to fund a mega transfer window. Get the sense he has no idea what to do now.

Xavi personally called him and convinced him to sign months before his contract with Milan ended apparently.

Easy to rail on him for not scoring in big games and his record is poor for us in that regard so far but overall I say it isn't really his fault. The only way the team gets him involved is through spamming crosses to the box, that's great against LaLiga fodder but not so much against good teams.

Europe has exposed how hollow our offensive tactics are. 0 goals in 3 out of 4 games against Inter and Bayern. Crazy. Not even a shot on target today at home. Xavi's tactic is simply and only based around passing it to wingers and them creating chances from sheer superiority. When we encounter...

You've seen the light Porque.

Xavi thinks that he can try the same gimmicks he does against shite LaLiga teams vs Bayern. Clearly hasn't understood what a gameplan is just yet or considered that Bilbao and Bayern are different level opponents.

In this basic stone age setup he is essentially just functioning as a more clinical Aubameyang. Shouldn't have signed him if this was how Xavi was going to play and could have stayed with Aubameyang or even Luuk De Jong as the only service our strikers get is crosses.

Wow! He can do a party trick.

He's so bad you think it is an achievement that he doesn't make fatal fuckup in the first 10 minutes.

Bayern are waiting for us to overcommit numbers forward then pinging it long. Even the big teams have realised now we cannot defend counters.

Coman and Muller are two of your best players. If it had anything on the line Nagelsmann would force them.

From the lineups it looks like we are taking it a little more seriously than they are.

Inter need to match Barca's result to go through, so if they draw, we can go through with a win. Safe to say it's pretty far fetched though.

It would burn even more if somehow Inter drop points and then we end up losing to Bayern.

Almost been worse for Villa than he was for Barca. Incredible.

We obviously would have been better from a short term perspective resigning Messi, it's probable we wouldn't end up in Europa either of these years, but he's very old now and we had to prepare for a future without him. Especially during financial troubles when we can't afford to pay that huge...

I don't think we have much of a chance of winning this one. Will be surprising and nice if we do but unfortunate that we didn't show up the first time. Nagelsmann said after last time they have scouted us heavily and know what tactical variations we can employ, and there are not many, so we are...

Sorry :lol: Davide Ancelotti has a UEFA A license and did a degree in sports science so at least despite him just hiring his son he actually has qualifications. Don't think Oscar even has any and just been following Xavi around.

Being the brother of a footballer doesn't qualify you to be a football coach nor does it mean he has any coaching skill. I guess we should sign Ansu Fati's brother that plays in the English 9th division just because they are related? Actual qualifications like coaching badges do however. You...

What qualifications does Xavi's brother have??
