These guys don't look like a professional team, wow how on earth are they playing in the CL :lol:

Predict a 2-2 draw. Haven't seen the Bayern lineup yet but I guess it's a bit weaker? That plus lower motivation + no pressure on our players means we can probably pull off a draw and Xavi will come out looking smug and talking shit about how we played well and deserved to win the game. Camp...

I think he went past his man down the line on the RW exactly 0 times if I remember correctly. Yeah, his favourite position indeed. One trick pony and still a shit player, wherever he plays.

Never ever ever ever going to be good enough to be a decent player for a top team. Sell.

Missed the game last night, just watched the replay. Like mentioned here, they had multiple 3v2, 2v2 situations where any half decent team (think Inter Milan) would have punished us and we'd be 2-0 down. Simple explanation for a simple problem - decent in league sucky in CL. We're just not a...

That he thinks that Barca dominated tells you everything you need to know about how clueless this guy is. That's the REAL scary part. It would be one thing if he knew they destroyed us and him not being good enough to do anything about it. Thing is, this guy thinks we dominated. Where do you...

0% chance Xavi gets sacked anytime soon. I think we would have to go into a freefall of maybe losing 10/15 games for that to happen, which could if we played decent teams. The fact that this piss poor team is currently on top of La Liga tells you all you need to know about the strength of the...

Poor lineup. Could have started FDJ/Kessie, put in Balde, put in Fati instead of Raphina, etc. Do the same thing over and hope it works this time - Xavi's mind.

We are just cursed with our backline. Even after making all these signings, a big match day arrives and our CB's are Pique who should have stopped playing at this level years back, Marcos Alonso, a mediocre LB playing out of position and Eric Garcia, well lesser said about him the better.

Yeah, the thing with Barca tickets is that if you are patient / not desperate, it's always easy to get tickets on the website as people keep putting opening up their abonos last minute. Problem is lots of people who plan trips around a certain game would of course, like to have everything sorted...

Second worst transfer in the history of the club. 80M+ loss. Staggering.

*puts on getafe game* *puts off getafe game*

I was wary of people hyping him way too much. I'm actually sold on Pedri genuinely being a world class talent, I think it's quite obvious to see, even though he obviously needs to add more in terms of goal threat and productivity which I'm sure he will as he gets older. Gavi though..I like him...

Had 0 chances come his way so can't really see any point in blaming him. If you want to continue bashing him for that piss poor Bayern performance though - that's okay in my book :lol:

While I've been sceptical of Xavi and completely agree that his tactics are basically awful, I think we also need to let Dembele go. I think both issues exist simultaneously, and I don't care who we get to coach us - Dembele needs to go (long term). He still has to start this whole season as...

Agreed - we need to get rid of Demebele (say for 50M + high wages) and buy another wide player. Don't see any way around it.

We really need to move on from Dembele. 5 years is a long enough time to judge. He's just never going to be a top player - it's just not going to happen. At best he might be a useful plan B or squad player to have and might be useful in a top team where he plays maybe last 10 minutes of a game...

It's amazing how much space he consistently had ALL game because Inter were flooding the box + double marking Dumbele. What does he do? Nothing. Absolutely friggin nothing. How is this playing for FC Barcelona? Not one decent run, not one decent through ball, not one decent cross. Just shit...

Very confused at how that handball wasn't given. Just dumbfounded. How? Aside from that, another insipid performance. Still seen NOTHING from Xavi against decent teams (and bus parking teams) to show he has any clue about how to tactically advance the play and create opportunities. Even if we...

Think he's average at best. But that's....okay. We've had defenders ranging from 'not footballers' to 'pathetic' and everything in the middle that getting someone who is about average is actually acceptable for now, until we somehow focus on building up solid defenders from a long-term perspective.
