Said before double pivot should be considered as major issue is protecting the defence while also offering options for quick balls out from defence... especially when have likes of Araujo there.

At moment have Busi as single pivot who cant move to get ball from CBs under any pressure and goes hunting ball any time a team breaks leaving defence completely exposed.

This idea have no option but to play Busquets is utter nonsense as is the idea he has 'unique skills' that team would die without. His passing has been shite this season when consider what his role is and that is what he should be brining and little else.

Everyone was swooning over Xavi and all I see is a failing tactical set up that he is beating like a dead horse.

He's kept Busquets as a starter and the only time we look decent and not vulnerable with him as DM is when Frenkie is playing and babysitting him. He always covers Busquets when he attacks (if you want to call it that) and is out of position. When Frenkie isnt there, like with Gavi and Pedri starting, the midfield is an even bigger unorganized mess. I dont care if Frenkie has been awful the past few games, we have been way worse without him prior, and he suffers from the following tactics.

Xavi is clearly telling our wingers to hug the sidelines which is ridiculous. Ferran doesnt have the speed to do anything from out there, Adama has no final ball and Dembele will beat his man once or twice a game and get a good cross into the box for a solid chance. Is this Xavi's master plan to win games? The odd chance a cross connects?

We need fullbacks creating the width so our wingers can actually get into the box and attempt to be a goal scoring threat. Isolating them against 2-3 defenders on the sideline is laughable. It's not working. I dont care if our fullbacks arent strong right now, send them forward and discipline Busquets so Frenkie doesnt need to cover him being out of position all game. Let Frenkie join in attack with the fullbacks and wingers while Busquets actually plays as a reliable DEFENSIVE midfielder.

Dembele instead of Adama and I am game.

My idea was rewarding players who had good cameo off the bench (Nico, Memphis, Adama) with a start in next game. Dembele didn't really look that good in last few games. Was much better at the start when Xavi still rotated him and Adama.

Not that any of this will happen, the only change in the lineup will probably be in defense with Alves starting instead of Dest and Pique (if healthy) for Garcia.

And then Xavi will continue to complain players are tired. Well, at least they can rest this week.

Have some respect for this player. He may not be a top tier striker but he knows his skills and he always uses them to 100% of his capacity. Great run, great goal.
