Alternative, thinking what Xavi might opt for.

Looking forward to this game.
Certainly I care more about it than about the Bayern game. I was sure we were going to lose that one anyway. Now there is tension in every league game and true excitement after every goal scored.
Celebrated last year's Copa wins like crazy too.

Oh and pleeeeeease play three at the back with Frenkie in the sweeper role. Osasuna played with two striker formations in the last games and we should play Frenkie there anyway.

Even with the mess we're in atm, I don't see why we shouldn't be winning these type of games. The teams around us in the table right now, Rayo, Valencia, Espanyol, Bilbao, Osasuna etc. how much better are they than us as a team? They're not superior to us quality wise. Winnable game.

Maybe they train harder and players have the system down much more.

This is not true. We don't have better players than Ossasuna. People need to realize this.

They said he'd go for three at the back, partly because of Alba missing...
Dest was very criticized, but he could still be the RW in that case, with someone like Dembele or Abde on the other flank. So your players might show to be correct, but I'd think they would set up in a different way.

I think this is a moment where I'll maybe start to criticize Xavi - if he isn't able to dominate this game, and if I feel he has chosen the wrong players. I will probably be quick to criticize Pique, Araujo, Abde, Dembele, and even Nico if I see them not being at their best. I think Riqui Puig SHOULD get 90 minutes here. Other than Puig, I also think that de Jong could get some minutes, as well as someone from Barcelona B. Ferran Jutgla is apparently in the squad.
But the most important thing is that the team dominates the ball and show a lot of movement, that is a bit more synchronized than before.

Xavi decided to check everyone.
