Haha aye he signed Csimero and Bruno was poor last season for most part also but he is one of few that worked out.

The squad ETH took over was far from great and players were not performing.

Even last few games he is getting most out of Shaw, AWB, Martial etc while Rashford was abysmal last season and ticking again now as is Bruno, Varane etc.

Rashford and Bruno had bad seasons but also had shown top-class stuff previously. It's not like Ten Hag developed them lol.

As I said.. players were not performing before he came in.. other than maybe Ronaldo who it was wrong to build team for.

The point is he has got likes of Rasford/Bruno ticking again after a slump and has improved near enough every player in team all while showing Ronaldo/Rashford etc who is boss and how it will be under him.

He came into a squd miles of likes of Liverpool and City even Arsenal/Chelsea etc.

It was largely reported to be a rotten changing room that was hard to coach... there is no doubt now who is in charge at that club.

But the reality is you could be 3/4th best coach in world and not even be in title race in that EPL. If levels drop at all that league exposes it.

Man Utd will be happy to see constant progress and be patient with him as long as shows that.

Serghei preemptively creating the necessary space of excuses to protect Xavi after a bad elimination in EL from ManUTD

Dude, cm'ooon... Man up a little bit and admit that ETH is doing a better job than Xavi
Utd's current squad is not better than ours, but they are coached 100 times better, you already see elements of a top modern game in pressing, intensity, attacking patterns

Exactly. You can see the improvement in the way they play. You can see the influence the coach has on them. They have structure, intensity and they are improving. Our team has shown none of that. Players have improved under Ten Hag and he's benched the non performers.
Which player has improved under Xavi?

No, I don't participate in these 10year old forum games. I'm keeping it realistic. This is a completely new stage in the club's path, one that is different from what any of us experienced as Barca fans. Most fans are in denial and have taken this change very hard, basically throwing a hissy fit because we're not the best anymore. Boo fucking hoo. Accept it and get behind the club.

Let's not kid ourselves, most of us became big fans during Ronaldinho or Messi eras, so we got used to a Barca that was the best, smashing teams left and right. Situation has simply changed.

Accept it or not, I don't care.

My opinion will not change even if Xavi is sacked. Even if Tuchel comes in the summer, without major investments he will not be able to compete with the best teams. Seems completely hypocritical to bash Xavi and Barca style, and at the same time believe Pedri, Gavi, Balde and the other kids at Barca are these superstars that aren't used properly by the manager. Fucking lol, did you go into hibernation during the whole World Cup? Our only players that got far were the worst performers in the final for France. :lol:

This tie is more of a 50/50, give or take. Maybe we are slight favourites. Either way easily winnable.

We are not a top team at the moment but at the end of the day, we are tied on points with Real in LL and Man U haven't been a strong opponent in Europe for literally a decade. They are showing great things under Ten Hag but they are still not a top club yet, we are roughly on the same footing with them when accounting for team quality (Barcelona+) and manager quality (United+).

However, United are very good at countering. This squad they have now has been changed a little but most of them have still been playing Oleball for the last 3 years and they have a lot of pace and dribblers up front. If we continue with a similar approach that we have been doing in Europe we will just lose again in an embarrassing fashion.

Busquets on the bench is the first change that needs to be made.

United are slight favorites and any person without an agenda will tell you that much. This Barca team would find it hard to make top 4 in EPL.
