True. The guy has been overplayed. That's one good thing he seems to have, good endurance, but I am afraid we will Pedri him.

Good endurance because he is a hard worker. Given the amount of unnecessary mistakes he does on the ball and in front of the goal tells that he is fatigued though. But like you said, we will Pedri him which we shouldn't to. Memphis had a cruciate ligament rupture in 19/20.

Xavi probably believes we can win in Munich :lol:. Good for him.

That's the right way though. I really agreed with Koeman when he said the squad is not that good and that people need to be realistic. He overplayed that role though.

Accepting the role of the underdog, but making the team believe you can do it is a good thing tbh. Lucho did it against PSG. Klopp did it with Liverpool against us. I don't think they did believe themselves, but they've made their teams believe it and a strong mind can move mountains. I don't think it is realistic to win against Bayern in Munich. I fear the Ballon D'or made it even harder, because they are angry about the result and Barca will be on the receiving end of it. This doesn't change the fact though that Xavi seems to do a lot in terms of team building and the head is an important factor in winning these type of games as clear underdog.

I expect a stale game and Xavi throwing in Dembele, Frenkie and co after half time.

If we look good in the first half Xavi deserves a ton of credit :p

Just as shite as under Koeman. Gonna take quite a while for Xavi to turn this around, might need 4-5 transfer windows.
