Xavi is extremely fit even at this age. He's fine as long as he sticks to his play. You know, short passing, small movement. In Spain especially at barca play's not that physical so there's nothing to worry about.
Thiago = Future Xavi?

Despite all the awesomeness, I noticed that on a few occasions he was still trying to be too fancy and lost the ball. It wasn't even when we were up, it was at 0-0.
Not taking away from his MoM performance, but I really hope he gets rid of that annoying habit...

He is not yet the finished article. But he is sure as hell, talented. You are right to point out those things though.

thats so true. he is like a diesel SUV. every time i check the stats, he his the first (kilometers run) seems pretty unbelivable that he runs more than dani alves or alexis sanchez or pedro actually

He's been giving balls away cheaply with the first team with a bit of consistency in the past year...Hasn't hurt the team just yet but then again it wasn't long ago that Busquets was gifting goal scoring chances for the opposition as well
Hopefully, he'll remain focused for longer stretches

I recall him giving away only 1 ball against Villareal during the first half, though it was in a bad part of the pitch and Villareal almost punished us for that, thing is key players like Xavi or Busquets or Thiago who play such a critical role get noticed most when they give balls away since it leaves us so exposed and vulnerable to a counter attack when our opponents find themselves in possession in the middle of the pitch. IMO Thiago will naturally improve this area of his game especially with Pep being around.

The boy has some serious swagger, and he does add a bit of something to our midfield given the fact that he always dares to go for something "unthinkable" or difficult. And like lady Z said, that part of him giving away balls could possibly remain for an overly long time. Yet, the volume of balls lost might decrease. If you look at Thiago now, who does he remind you the most with his playing style?
This all due to the fact that he always will go for something bold, something other players might not even think of trying. He will definitely improve on that as the years pass by, tho, thus reducing the quantity of give aways.
