People are only just recognizing how much of a carry job Messi actually did. I mean damn. Xavi fraudulent as hell. Listen I'm not a all time great midfielder but I can tell you he sucks at directing our midfield as a coach. I don't fault the defense because we have damn Alonso and Bellerin in there I mean I expect nothing from them.
But I swear this team needs a new identity. This Barca DNA stuff where we basically telegraph our playstyke to the world and do nothing to stop counter attacks is old news. We need a modern approach. Fresh ideas. 433 is fine but fix the high line to be less suicidal. Get a real midfield that relies more on creativity even if you have to copy exactly what Man City does. Do it. Tired of seeing this bullshit every big game is a guaranteed disappointment. We roll Villareal and Bilbao because we happen to have more skill but Bayern we need a real plan. RM we need a plan, etc etc.
See the difference in Xavi face when Busquets blasts it over (looks up gasping as if to say "oh god, why did you move the ball out of position of Busquets perfect toes") compared to when someone else blasts it or miss passes, and he looks like he wants to murder them.
Says it all.
Maybe in 20 years the club will realize that Barca DNA is dead.
Until then we need to get used to this shit.
This is the beginning of the real "Xavi out."
