Bonkers xavi puts this guy on to close oht a game. What does he think he gives us? Seriously don't understand how a manager can look at this guy and get confidence from putting him on especially to ride out a game.

The fact that we are letting in goals this season DOES NOT equate to us playing entertaining / expansive / arsenal type football. We're playing shit football AND we're letting more goals. Did you even watch arsenal back then :lol: they were fast and direct and their games were open and fun as...

Sevillas 4 2 3 1 shapes up well for them against us tonight.

Interested to see how this lineup works. Seeing how often Pedri is injured, we need to have a couple of different setups where we are a cohesive attacking threat. I am optimistic about raphina in AM role , I can't stand him at rw although he's been important recently. He's a bit selfish and...

We should just play Roberto in that position. He will be better than Romeu, whatever that gives us.

Shit player.

He's a quality player. One of the best players in a treble team doesn't suddenly turn shit. He is a system player though - we saw in the games where we were playing well (other players with one touch passing, good movement and first touches) he was really good with neat 1-2's and fine passing...

Lol that makes a lot more sense.

It's weird that the opposition coach would come out to talk about this particular penalty of all of them. There's a lot of stonewall penaldos or at least 50-50s that you can argue one way or the other...This one IMO wasn't even a penalty, so it's strange. Regarding him going down on the slight...

- How is Roneu a professional footballer? And why does Xavi keep playing him? - toothless without fdj as a lot of people here thought we might be. Xaviball is dire. We've lost points to the likes of getafe and Mallorca ffs this early in the season.. Not like we're going to challenging grounds...

Ferret with 2 great chances missed and raphina with one .we need to take AT LEAST one of those . Ferran is garbage. Also not sure I saw gundogan touch the ball this half. Mats responsible for both goals too. Team has been garbage top to bottom.

Xavi prepping his speech about the pitch and grass 😅

If it's the usual Xavi-ball, you are right, that's overdose really for someone sleep deprived.

Damn, was hoping to catch up on some lost sleep from the weekend, late(r) kick off, 9:30PM :(

We have a pretty big fdj problem. There is not a player in the squad that can come close to filling that role and when he's out our entire team looks poor because Xavi hasn't shown the tactical nous for a clear and consistent progressive attack. Frenkies transitions and runs from defence + line...

Great come back from some of the players. Horrendous game but we get the 3 imp points. Xavi owes his players this one.

Can't believe people still backing Xavi. Shown for two seasons now he's tactically clueless. A big win against pleb teams and people start to go on about how he's figured this team out and making us to be CL semi final contenders.. :lol:

Missed the fact that it was an early kick off today. What's the summary of the half? What happened to fdj?

It's not just the marketing and the players though. It's also the overall product - that includes exciting commentary, exciting television coverage, exciting pre and post match shows....La Liga is absolutely horrendous at all of this. So even if you add the ability to have top players/managers...

Another poor European night out for la Liga. Soevilla and sociedad drawing home games they should have won. League is really low quality .
