Not at fullback.

Kounde is not better than Varane or Araujo as of yet, and you don't just play players out of position if you have other options.

Peak Serghie.

Whos fault is it that Barcas best RB is worse than Wan Bissaka? When spemt 220m.... That would be Xavi.

Utterly clueless and 100% just mental gymnastics off back of todays game to try and deflect from point.

"Man City have 1 shot on target in their match against Manchester United. Ten Haga's team won with 29.7% ownership." We know this well. But Barcelona are much more dangerous in attack and have many chances to score. The main thing is to score.MJ will not be easy.

United spent almost 400. Still need to invest 200m. Keep 'em coming.

tbh Xavi gives me a Catalan Conte vibes

Good in league, bad in cups especially Europe, sucks the life out of the game, very demanding of his board, blame the players when it goes South and really passionate coach.
Not a perfect comparison obviously, but at this stage of the club I will take that as a positive. As long as he delivers Liga

With a big difference THOUGH:

Despite all this flaws Conte is a master tactician.
Is Xavi?

ETH didnt spend that.

And the fact that Pedri and Araujo cost peanuts for Barca is not some huge plus for Xavi when they are player already there. Same with MATS. Gavi, De Jong, Dembele etc. All there before he joined and would cost hundreds of millions those players.

Getting Christensen for free doenst mean it is 'poor Xavo' because Martinez cost 70 odd million.

Xavi spent 220m and has full backs worse than Shaw and Wan Bissaka according to you and he has 120m of wide players on bench he chose to sign and plays them in way didnt at previous clubs.

Usual Serghie excuses for Xavi.

No, his team did. Both spent 0. That's the point. United have the money to invest massively on all positions, Barca don't, and have to take it slower.

Conte has no clue about positional play. Different types of coaches. Xavi did introduce some good patterns in possession in his year, and his 3-2-2-3 idea shows promise for certain matchups.

Yeah, don't agree much about Conte in that regard, although it depends on your definition of tactics.
He sets his team well on the long run, but can be rigid at times and stubborn.
Xavi has that, although he is flexible at times.
Xavi biggest tactical weakness is his subs IMO.
