EURO 2016 Qualifying

Koke wasn't impressive at all. A downgrade on Alonso for that role and obviously a downgrade in Xavi for his role.

 

[Hamzah]

Costa is a horrendous fit for this team.

I agree. They should play Cesc as a false nine.

 

[Alarcón]

Tiki Taka without prime Xavi is a waste of time.

No it's not. Xavi is not god.

 

[Sumlit]

FT.

Spain still in flux.

spain ...can't say I'm not enjoying this!

 

[Gnidrologist]

Glad for loss. VdB needs reality check (or better yet, retirement).

 

[impeh]

first defeat in qualifying since 2006

 

[raedkuwait]

many players shouldnt b playing for spain really

 

[SeloBarca]

No it's not. Xavi is not god.

He was. Part of why were struggling with our tikitaka now, is becouse Xavi has declined. He pretty much was tikitaka.

I'm happy Spain lost. Del Bosque needed this wakeup. Its not Spain, its him and his aversion to calling the next generation as well as being tactically aware.

 

[Sunny Mir]

Who lost the ball for the 2nd goal? Alba?

 

[Hamzah]

Paco up front is also a good idea.

It was a throw in if I'm not mistaken...

Del Bosque, no es tan complicado... Es shimples.

Cesc showed again he can't replace Xavi, and struggles in a possession based side. VdB needs to open his eyes. Spain need a different setup.

No Xavi, no party! Was and will always be Spain's greatest midfielder.
