Damian should have a yellow card at least for that. Some trigger happy refs would even show the red card.

Gavi with 10 passes at 80% accuracy.
Kessie with 13 passes at 69% accuracy.

Two players that have made least amount of passes for Barca in that half.

Have to be getting a lot more from CM than that. Xavi needs to put a rocket up their arse at half time.

Gavi has too many of these performances where can barely find ball.

If he or Kessie dont improve soon take them off.

Get Balde/Alba off is the first thing we need to do.

Gavi & kessie needs to get on the ball more.

That's it, then just hope the goal comes, always a chore playing against gefate

But we have to improve.

Its the tactics. Some strange sort of system where they are moving in between the Getafe CBs when team have ball and too advanced for anyone to find them when should be dropping deep and making things happen.

Well, we are watching the same thing pretty much every game now. The ironic thing is we are still almost guaranteed to win if we get a goal because we are holding them to nothing offensively.

We are all defensive now.

Looked like Busi gave up even trying to find Gavi and Kessie and started to by pass them as any time looked for where they should be they were off wandering somewhere else.

It isnt just the tactics.

The positioning of those two has been horrendous.

No coach sets up their team to have two players so redundant.

It is a common problem for both of them always in comparison to FDJ/Pedri etc not just today.

Has to change second half or changes made.

Need to increase the speed of play or else we're never going to create much chances. Too slow atm.

True as well. Gavi is pretty much always moving with his back turned and never open in space ready to receive the ball.

Doesn't seem to be very aware of where his teammates are or who has the ball.

Balde is clearly unnatural at winger. Caught offside plenty and doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball when he gets it.
Raphinha is playing a decent game and should've scored so hope he stays out there as currently only one attacking the space well and getting into dangerous positions.
