The Xavi thread will be fun tonight.

When you realise that apart from the kids who were forced on by injuries and no replacements, his subs were.

Joao for Lewy at 60.
Bob for Pedri.
Guiu for Lamine at 115 after going behind.

Fuckin A.

All subs made sense to me.

Typical Xavi shitshow. No surprises here. He's lost the plot and the dressing room.
Another season wasted. We will have to get another manager, give him time and hope for the best. We probably won't win another CL in the next 10 years.
Add the fact that Madrid have the refs in their pockets and we are looking at hard time ahead.

Saw some strong phases by barca. Fatigue kicked in that basically means death for some players.

Exactly.

Bilbao a better team but we would go through if Lamine would score one of his chances.

Shit happens. Good learning experience for the kids.

Roberto is a fucking clown, always was. Him still playing here and entering a game to change it is a testament to how fucked up this club is.

And it's not even losing the fucking cup game. Who gives a fuck. But the manner in which it was lost, completely outplayed and made like clowns. And this is not a fluke game, but standard. That is the biggest fucking issue. It has become normal for Barca to get outplayed and humiliated from mediocre opponents. I think everyone at that fucking club needs to stop and think for a minute and after that start making drastic measures. The image of the club is in serious decline and every season getting worse and worse. From a powerhouse with a GOAT in team to a joke. Sad fucking times.
And it's done.

Bob for Pedri summed it up. It's a sub that should have happened about 20 minutes earlier coz Pedri was done.

And the option was, go for the experience to try and steady the game.

Summed up everything. Bob then gets dispossessed leading to the 3rd goal.

Imagine spending the Gavi money on Roque... then Xavi wont use him.

Surely better putting that towards a DM for remainder of season if thats the case.

How far does the two 17 year olds go to defend Xavi though?

He has signed Alonso and Inigo on decent money.. both of whom had injury problems before signing.

Dude. Bilbao had like 25 shots and we had 7. What are we even discussing.

Noone is mad at youngsters either. Lamine and Fort did great. That's not an issue.

Bilbao away is always tough. Could have won the game with better finishing on those huge chances in the 2nd half.
