Xavi Hernández

He is lucky Tuchel was no avaiable. Xavi would eventually get here cause Tuchels snooze ball footbal would not last long here.

I meant first getting Pep and now Xavi. 😁

I am happy to take an L on Xavi. I didn't want him here yet and I didn't think he had enough experience. I am delighted he is proving me wrong so far.

TBH, a lot of ppl here thought Xavi would be a failure lol. The majority thought he is simply a possession-obsessed Cruyff-wannabe like Setien, Martino, etc. But guess what? Looks like many underestimated his intelligence and experience.

I didn't. Of course, it's still early to judge. If he gets top 4(this was the main objective), it's surely a good start to his career as a Barca manager. Something to build on.

If I get Xavi right I reset all my Ls with Arthur and the other flops I liked.

I didn't like him at first (before Jan) but he's really grown on me since we actually gave him decent attackers and a string of games to implement his system.

Right now, I feel like he's underrated. I would put him as a solid B+ tier coach at the moment, with an A- (most likely) to A (optimistic) potential. For reference, Guardiola and Klopp are A+.

If Xavi flopps too, then I accept my seat of shame next to the Jovic lover and Benzema basher.

Video picks up after initial 15 seconds. What a revolution in football that was, right from the onset. No team had a clue how to defend against it properly in 08-09

To be fair, no one gets things right all the time. In 2008 I was fuming we didn't hire Guus Hiddink

Beautiful, and he's only been here for several months. Thank you mister

Hm a nice looking chart from trollfootball.me, but without explanations of anything, would be nice with a link together with the pic!

Dodged a bullet that we got this mister instead of Poch or Ten Hag.

You already deserve the seat of shame. You were throwing Xavi under bus for every disappointing result even though he just got here.

Whaaat? I'm very demanding with managers.
