If Xavi will not completely renounce to this fucking clown, he will undermine himself. Cannot imagine that Xavi is not capable to see that this so-called footballer is totally useless.

He's junk. Xavi has a game analyst.
Consistently putting in bad performances against the top half teams and only shows up Vs relegation teams.
The one thing I admire is his attitude. He's so happy to be here and to play for us unlike some and took a massive cut to make it happen. He deserves respect for that.
Lost the ball 20 times against Betis, which we all witnessed. Memphis was the worst player on the pitch and his CF role or false nine whatever it is, is not working under Xavi. I bet swapping him with Gavi (as CF) would produce better results.
I like Memphis but he cannot carry an attack on his own. He's a player who will contribute in a fluid attack but never shoild be the focal point of one.
Can't expect much when he has bums like Coutinho and the Eazy Awful Moroccan kid as his teammates in attack.
Firmino is a level above Depay. His link-up play and creativity alone is something that Memphis could never reach. Depay might get you a few more goals though as he takes penalites which Firmino never has.
I do feel a bit sorry for Memphis though as he's being given too much responsibility that he's not capable of carrying.
