There is just no way Barca can press from middle to front like did today with Gundogan in the team.

He is trying to find ways to prevent Lewa pressing.. one because he struggles and two to save his legs.

Last season Lewa was attempting to run about like a lunatic and Gundo was next up when beaten.

Tonight felt much more a Barca with intensity want to see even if still trying to cover Lewa.

Xavi haters won't like this, but like the commentary on today's game said, he's doing a lot of the same things as Xavi did,with a few tweaks.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he went with a box Midfield a few games, once everyone is fit, with yamal and balde giving width, that's where most of the quality in the squad is anyways.

But it's early days, in time more differences will start to show i'm sure.

Could he surpass xavi for you if he misses out on la liga?

No.

 

[JamDav1982]

There is always going to be elements the same but he is clearly doing a lot of things differently also.

The one thing i can tell so far with him as that we seem much more fit than the opposition.

We were far fitter than Valencia last week and the same against Athletic this week.

Very true. Bilbao looked finished after 50min.

Heh it looks like this.

Flick: is trying to communicate in Spanish.

EV: God what is this guy trying to say?

Let's see how they do first. First game, first dropped points so far.

Real is not the benchmark, Xavi's Barcelona is. He should deefinitely get more points than him, his squad looks superior (if we can register Olmo and he doesn't get fucked by injuries as much as Xavi).
