Liga Round 13: Barca - Alaves 2-1

[delancey]

Didn't Xavi's contract just got extended?

FDJ will return, things will improve a bit and they'll think everything is fine again.

To 2025, I believe?

Xavi needs backing and the players need to feel the heat. The players are miles behind the level they showed last season.

Hard to bench them if your squad is so short.

What would it take for you to think Xavi should be sacked?

Players who are light years ahead of Alaves/Shaktar etc.

'Squadi is so short'.. there are 120m worth of attackers on bench.

The players are not very good mate... Only De Jong is great in this team.

I don't want to over simplify our issues but IMO we need a very vocal coach with a huge presence when our standard drops.
A Klopp (I know these don't grow on trees) but someone who you just know will BERRATE someone for a poor cross or a bad decision.
Someone who will be more animated.

I'd trade some fire for some theoretical ''Barca DNA'' just to get this team and our club moving again.

ETH, Xavi, Setien, Koeman (he was the most vocal of the lot) etc just too placid for my liking.

Nothing new about attacking though. Last season we scored either 0 goals or 1 goal in 20 out of 38 league games.

We have one of the best squads in Europe. This is not on the players dude. Leadership always starts at the top.

Players are good.

Much better than showing past few games.

The 'players are not good' fails when so poor v far worse players and behind Girona in league.

Imagine being this delusional.

Funny you avoid this question... but predictable.

Park the bus and counterattack is the best strategy and it works for every team that manages to stay compact.

Kounde is a constant danger for a goal. Today even more than his usual fuck-up per game.

How many times will Cancelo cross to nowhereland? He is doing the right thing until he does the cross.

 

[JohnN]

Well isn't this another shitshow.
what will it take?

 

[JamDav1982]

Imagine being this delusional.

Delusional is making it about players when Barca should be 4-0 down to Alaves.

This season? A disaster. Like not making CL spots.

 

[Birdy]

I see. You're one of those special fans who just likes hating everything.

Tell me the next great manager that is gonna achieve big titles in football. Easy to sit on your bum on the couch and hate on.

Don't play the stupid with me.
You know very well about which coaches I am talking about, but your pride issues don't allow you to take your huge L on Xavi like a normal guy
You should talk to your therapist about that and unblock it.
We are not your therapist room in here

This season? A disaster. Like not making CL spots.

So you would wait all season until dont make top 4?

High standards that...

Fair rules Xavi gets.

Why does is the 'title in 2 years' not relevant at that point?

If Xavis Barca ailed in top four it would be the worst Barca season ever perhaps and massively negate any title.
