Later, sure, but as we aren't going to find that any time soon, we need a short-term fix that does not involve Busquets. Stick FDJ there and tell him not to fuck up and press the opposing striker and we probably qualified to the next stage.

Publicly, we know Busquets/Raphinha/Pique were complaining. Busquets allegedly thinks the tactics were chaotic, Raphinha confronted Xavi about being subbed off as he didn't make sense of it, and Pique was caught on video coming out of the dressing room saying that the technical staff had their...

At this point, we just need a DM with legs that can make a safe pass. Even if FDJ or Kessie or anyone else is average/bad at DM they at least don't leave a black hole in midfield in transitions. Currently most if not all of our goals conceded, on replay, feature Busquets in the opposing half as...

He actually got caught on possession several times in that one sequence of play. The last one was just fatal.

Reports from multiple MD journos that the players are unhappy with Xavi's lineup and substitutions and didn't understand the subs that were made against Inter. Busquets talking about 'chaos' was apparently an indirect reference to Xavi's tactics.

Probably if that ends up materialising Xavi will decline to become assistant and be sacked instead. Don't see the point in keeping him in that role anyway as there will be a new coach that wants to introduce their style of play likely starting fresh.

Laporta also 'backed' Koeman shortly before sacking him. Romero said we want to hire Flick or Tuchel and make Xavi assistant coach so it seems they are thinking about the change, likely if we fall behind in LaLiga he will be sacked.

Problem is exasperated by the fact Gavi Pedri and Busquets are all slow and weak, with Gavi the only sort of athletic player there (who gets bullied himself a lot against physical players). That's a recipe for disaster in transitions especially considering Busquets doesn't even defend counter...

Thanks for Ferran, Eric and Aguero. What a great way for him to express his undying love for Barca. Thank you, Pep!!!

Tbh, it's not completely fair to blame him for bad performances in these games, because he's very young and further quite immature, but sick and tired of seeing his angry faces on socials with 'GAVI IS FEARLESS' 'QUE PASION TIENE ESTE CHAVAL' and similar. Sometimes it seems like he does...

On top of the obvious mentality issues there it's like he's already looking past the fact we just got knocked into Europa in front of our own fans. Does it even register for him anymore, another European failure? For him probably business as usual and wants to be playing in MLS anyway and...

How long until dressing room loses faith in him and players start turning against him? He has brought several of them here, like Lewa, Kounde with the promise of titles and Lewa pretty much stated he came here to win the Ballon Dor. Now we haven't even qualified past the group stage. Players of...

He claims he is doing self-reflection but he essentially just keeps repeating that the players fucked up and that nothing is on him. Without understanding that tactically we have been outplayed by a poor Inter.

Still remember this clown posting 'We are back'. What a idiot. We are definitely back, back in Europa because of him... Serious club would have binned him years ago or at least removed him from squad and found alternatives, today we could have played Frenkie CB.

Technical ability great, tactical understanding improving and good, but what is up with him physically? He runs and turns like he's 50 years old, being quite a slight and shorter player himself. It's confusing. Maybe too much work in the weight room or injuries took a toll?

Personally don't want Tuchel here. He is a good coach but far too abrasive and his system is weak in league play. More than likely he would be sacked after a year or two and we would continue our managerial merry go round. Need to go for a long term candidate, ETH would have been a great choice...

1 goal conceded with 6 xG against. That stat is not because we are amazing defensively, just lucky, and have MATS in the form of his life. Our defensive weaknesses are being exposed in Europe where we face better, actual high level players that put away their chances. Inter can't score against...

As a few of us have been stating for some time it is clear Xavi cannot play against an organised 5 at the back and it is reflected whether the other team is more attacking or not. This was the main issue today along with bizarre lineup selections of Pique and Busquets and Alonso etc. If we come...

Lazy. They are sprinting forward for a winner and he's jogging back. Even if you won't get to the ball sprint anyway and try to get your body in there to put pressure on them. Disappointing.

You think that the squad when Arteta took over at Arsenal is comparable to one Xavi has now? Or Klopp at Dortmund?
