Xavi Hernández

[Hamzah]

Yup, what's the problem?

nothing i think you are one of the first to do it. carry on doing it it is good.

 

[ricknattery]

Xavi is more important than Messi against regular teams, but against bigger teams I think Messi is more needed, we wouldnt play the tiki-taka, but if we put a defensive line-up Messi could solve things in a counter. I don't see how we could win Chelsea or other big team in Europe without Messi

 

[evilhita666]

I think we didn't miss Xavi's talent per se, but we missed Xavi's calmness and mentality...

 

[nebeer]

It was really good to see Xavi and Villa in the stands sitting together like bros and talking about what was going on the pitch.

 

[El Mesías]

I hope now everyone finally realised that its Xavi that Barca needs more then Messi. WPOTY for Xavi is long dued and this match showed how different a Barca team with him and without him is.

 

[Gnegneri]

Yeah yeah, and if our strikers actually finished those gazillion chances that were created in the first half, Barcelona would have won with a comfortable margin of 10-0 and no one would have bothered about this game.

It's not like Bojan or whoever ruined chances yesterday is suddenly going to score because Xavi gives the pass instead of Iniesta. The chances were there, it wasn't a dull game at all in the first half.

Exactly, this is what I mean when I say we missed his calmness and mentality and not his talent, because before Mallorca's goal we all though we were in for a party, sadly things turned out differently...

Yeah there were plenty of chances in the first half. And by the way missing Messi is bigger than missing Xavi. Messi is more decisive.

now come on don't be silly

 

[10Rivaldo]

I agree that Xavi is the most important player for us but yesterday we missed Villa more than anyone. We didn't have a problem creating chances, we just couldn't finish.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Messi is our most important player. Xavi is numero dos.

 

[ricknattery]

I agree. Messi gives us a whole different dimension, he can be a playmaker, a striker, a winger,.... Xavi is the best at what he does and he defines our style of play, but Barcelona without Messi loses the surprise factor, the decisive factor. This kind of players are born once every 20 years

 

[Barca-4-Life]

Yeah yeah, and if our strikers actually finished those gazillion chances that were created in the first half, Barcelona would have won with a comfortable margin of 10-0 and no one would have bothered about this game.

Agreed 100% !

After watching the game from the stands the other day i hope he's found 1 or two tricks to break the bus

 

[Gnegneri]

Yes, train Bojan and Pedro.
