Used to be a time when these teams feared for their lives when we played them.

Do we have any fear factor at all nowadays?
Nah. We have that will do factor. RM lost, so fuck it, we don't care. 11 points is 11 points.

Clowns.

It's the same since... We should be OK with 3-0 against Liverpool.

The concerning thing is we are a team that seems wholly to be based on intensity.

If the opponent can match our intensity we are nothing special in the rest of our play. No patterns, no tactics, just press.
Rayo aren't amazing and have conceded plenty goals but we can barely create a chance.

Eric Garcia to win the game.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Subbing at CB and adding another liability. Great coaching, idiot.

Xavi hasn't made 5 subs since February. Losing, draw or even 4-0 over Elche.

But, today is the day lads. Eric Garcia for Frenkie. The perfect sub to secure the 2-0 defeat.

Honestly Laporta better not give Xavi an extension this summer. Wait another year at least. Who gives a fuck if his contract runs out next summer. If he's good enough and want to stay he will stay.
Unfortunately things don't work like that in football. It would be a clear sign that Laporta doesn't fully trust a title winning manager.

Apparent from those subs that Xavi has given up on this game, so why not just sub on Yamal? Tell him that there is no pressure and that the game is lost, go out there and have some fun. Instead we make him travel to away games to sit on the bench when he should be preparing for games he will actually feature in.

I don't think he ever trusted him to begin with. Almost had to be coerced into hiring him.
