Xavi Hernández

Of course, nobody is saying we are a very well funded club, we are behind in transfer funding compared to the top Premier League teams, but not to teams outside of England.

Madrid? PSG? Please...

As said... some of you are ignorant regarding some key areas for reaching success in football in 2023.

Madrid dont have more money, they just manage it better, they only spend for top talents and build a top team that way.

PSG is the only exception as they are state run.

I just proved in one of my previous posts that you potentially can?

You are referring to Inter Milan?

My God, I wish we had Inter's luck of facing "juggernauts" of European football like Porto, RB Leipzig, AC Milan on the road to the final.

They got very lucky in Porto.

So when you said European you meant the CL specifically? Fairs, if you don't want to include inter how about Dortmund then?

Finances is an issue sure, but coaching is perhaps an even bigger issue, and I'm not sure I'd trust Xavi with a lot of money either when his first big money signing was Ferran Torres.

You think coaching is a bigger issue atm than our finances? Seriously?

absofuckinglutely, or should i say lack thereof.

Inter's route wasn't any easier than ours this year.

Well yes unless you believe Girona have a much better squad than ours.
Great coaches actually elevate their players.

One thing that annoys me about Xavi is his constant excuses of the team lacking maturity lately for our underperformance as if Yamal and Cubarsi our two youngest players haven't been among our best this season, even though Cubarsi's last 3-4 games have been rough.

Same manager preaching maturity that cannot stop getting booked on the sidelines or get sent off during crucial moments of a game.

Clueless fans...

I have seen Xavi set up the team great vs PSG and succumb to a bunch of stupid individual errors.

Those errors would simply not be there if the squad would've been properly improved. It's obvious really that all that was lacking for us to go to a CL final were 3 top players and some experience in defense. Even with Ter Clown in goal, which is a challenge in itself.

That's it. No tactical fiasco in sight as you claim. A fullback, a DM, and a winger. Oh and for a player to not sabotage the entire team.

Nah his coaching was amateurish.

Getting sent off mid way through the game instead of trying to get the team through with 10 men and 2 goals up was a cherry on the cake and shows how amateur he is.

Yes I am sure individual errors are only found at Barca. It's not like it happens at every team in the world.

Why not question the frequency of those errors or the collapses and why it keep happening all the time? What is Xavi doing about that?

Also I'm sure Xavi getting sent off like a fucking idiot helped a lot.

OK, the level is going down even more... I'm out.

in other posts you said our team is shit (players) but now it only needs 3 players to reach a final? getting a decent setup in one game compared to plenty of others where he didn't? how about his in-game adjustments being incredibly poor and counter intuitive?
