Don't take him home! Leave him in Madrid!

LaLiga, round 9 Real Madrid - Barcelona Real win: 2.32 Draw: 3.65 Barca win: 2.90

People are coming up with all sorts of solutions to save a coach who hasn't given us anything. Should be lucky to be an assistant, has no business being the coach anyway. Kick him out and bring Tuchel in. I don't believe Flick is realistic.

Trusting Xavi means losing time and slowing the rebuild down. As simple as that for me.

Last time we had a coach.

Still here?

This is a fair and sensible post tbh and I agree with the narrative. But don't you think is up to the coach? Dembele is an outstanding player but hardly known for consistency. He's been with the team for some time, he's not new. Psychological, physical, and technical form of the team are all...

So what are they? Already been said in this thread but Xavi did come in with a different approach. Wanted his wingers wide, and his FBs tucked in. Gave us some patterns and together with Auba produces some results. Then it stopped as he was countered. Has he adapted? No, he has not. Serghei...

You're clinging to a few examples of coaches who turned things around while there's a bunch of poor starters who didn't: the rest of them. So while it is possible that he's a new Cruyff in the making, the chances are not great. Besides, there are signs. Some coaches struggle but show good ideas...

You're clinging to a few examples of coaches who turned things around while there's a bunch of poor starters who didn't: the rest. Besides, there are signs. Some coaches struggle but show good ideas that might lead somewhere. Xavi has none of that going for him.

Another game he lost. Couldn't adapt to the changes made in the 2nd half and ultimately lost the match. Not saying he should've won, but even in Munich his flaws showed.

Football been bad since he was found out last season. Going into extremes here but it's close. Hasn't adapted one bit since.

At least it's not all bleak for us.

Laporta had a good instinct when he didn't want Xavi. One of the reasons I fancied him for the job. Shame he gave in and brought Xavi from Qatar.

And one of the best managers happens to be on the market.

Tough luck we faced a Mourinho led Inter with Etoo upfront. Or did we?

Would take Alba over him any day of the week and twice on Wednesday.

Other than being a Barca legend, has nothing going for him. I don't see any upside. Cut the losses and move on.

Let's call a spade a spade. A coached team doesn't play like Barca plays. Not to mention a well coached team. His tactics don't work, his subs are bad, has no flexibility, players don't thrive under him. What false hope are we clinging to?
