Yeah, play 4 man midfield now then. Nothing will change. He was the most important player in your title last year, not saying the best (Mats was the best), but the most important.

From one of the best defences itw to 13th best defence in La Liga, the only difference is Busquets. Thats what happens when you have best DM for 13-14 years and start under appreciating him to the point that he leave. Your suffering just started. Even last year he was the starting DM for Spain...

4 goals and 8 assists already. Your best player this season ahead of FDJ and Araujo. Its interesting that his non-penalty goals all came in home game defeats against us, girona and villareal.

So Xavi is your new interim manager until the end of the season. Wonder if he will prove himself and earn longer contract like Grant/Di Mateo.

Last week Pedri made assist and today Camavinga made one. The end is near.

FDJ dropping deep is exactly the plan, not happening because of Araujo struggling. When FDJ drop back there is more space for Gundogan/Pedri/Fermin/Gavi in between the lines.

Lol, you are talking about “how hard is for Barca to build from the back”… when thats the main responsibility not for Araujo, but for your boy FDJ, who is on the line of CBs when Barca are starting to build from the back 😀

His passing is good, he is often giving brilliant diagonal long balls to Balde. Also i dont remember a goal you concede after bad pass by Araujo. He was bad in passing until last season, but from 22/23 he is progressing visibly.

Nobody is paying you more than 40 for Pedri and if you sell Araujo - you are done.

I am the true founder for Pedri’s level!

He is your second/third best player this season. 10 G/A so far, all of them decisive. And thats while playing deeper to help with ball circulation.

Yeah, i am sure Laporta was offering him Zubimendi, Rodri or Tchouameni, but he chose Romeu.

Even great coaches are making mistakes, Xavi is far away from them. I never said he is great. But he is getting good results (good for the players he has) and players are fighting for him, all the comebacks and later winners are the proof.

And how many more top matches you expect with Felix, Yamal, Ferran, Raphinha and 35 years old Lewa upfront? You basically have 2 world class midfielders in Gundogan and De Jong, one world class defender in Araujo (being world class is mainly on Xavi) and world class GK, who is injured. What do...

Lol, Xavi was not your problem. Your problem was that the combined best 11 from yesterday’s starting line ups is all our players plus Araujo instead of Nacho. Xavi has only 3 defeats in 26 matches this season if we are not counting classicos. Thats pretty good with the players he has.

Told you years ago ;) Get him back now and you will start conceding much less and scoring more. It’s ridiculous how worse is that team without Busquets, i knew he was your best player by quite a margin, but even i wasnt expecting such a downfall.

Better than Vini also

Incredible, not only because of the goal, Atletico are heavily dependent on him. He is playing upfront, linking with midfielders, playing in defense, everything. Shouldnt leave Atleti in 2019 to go in Messi’s shadow and play on the wing. Dumb decision by Barca, dumber decision by Griezmann.

I wont defend Xavi anymore, because i dont like him as a person. I already said it, he is not great, but he is good coach. This “lost and tense players” narrative is just wrong. Lost and tense players cant make comebacks or score late winners every two weeks.

Is your boy FDJ looking list and tense? Gundo? Araujo?
