I don't think Xavi is the man for the job BUT that today pre-dates Xavi. This is Bottlelona all over again in Europe, I'm only surprised we didn't ship goal #3 and #4. I knew this was going to happen after a solid first half, Bob should of put us 2-0 up but then it would of ended 3-2.
Ten Hag fucked up and corrected it at half time, United were always going to come out swinging as they know we have zero pace upfront to threaten with.
Dembele, Pedri and Gavi are such huge misses I can't really have many complaints, it was always a tough ask but the performances of some of the players; Lewa and Kounde in particular were fucking abysmal. Raphinha we already know is dreadful and Kessie is not Barca quality, he looked lost.
fwiw United weren't all that great tonight, it was just the crumbling Barca mentality once again
