Xavi Hernández

[serghei]

Relax, the team tried everything, but the injuries and the referee of the first game fucked us badly.

Bad luck ?n the end with the group, the injuries, the uefa refereeing.

Has to improve for La Liga and win it.

 

[Barcaman]

There is nothing. It's resorting to crosses and crosses again (which I am not against btw.) as his plan is not working or he can't implement anything.

Yes, we are missing key defenders but Inter is missing 3 key players too so no excuses for this shit display.

 

[Rory]

Hhhhh if after Rome and Liverpool no one got sacked, u expect this guy to b sacked now.

At least they were the latter stages of the competition, whilst completely cruising to the league title. This is a new low.

Catalan Koeman

 

[serghei]

His subs were terrible. And his tactics don't really work.

 

[matbezlima]

Xavi is not a terrible coach, let's not overreact. He is decent, and let's not forget that Barcelona leads La Liga. He is just not good enough for Europe yet. Look at how Klopp won two Bundesligas in a row for Borussia Dortmund, but embarrassingly fell out of UCL's group stage in those same two seasons.

 

[serghei]

On to the Clasico. Oh and Laporta has to stop counting revenue for like CL semis or whatever pipe he is smoking .

 

[Porque]

Time to sack Xavi and replace him with Rakitic again.

 

[Barcilliant]

Relax, the team tried everything, but the injuries and the referee of the first game fucked us badly.

Bullshit. Those are just excuses. The fact that average sides like Inter and Eintracht scored three goals against usshiws how bad we really are.
Laporta 8s gutless. Who gives a fuck about EL? We might as well be out. Fuck Xavi
Right from the very start I said Xavi would flip and we would waste two seasons. Again I was fucking right.
An average Inter looked faster, stronger and more decisive. We looked poor again.

Busquets was an auto starter in big CL games for him...and it might just cost him his job mid season

Terrible

 

[JohnN]

Pique and busquets 100% at fault for me, which are xavis choices. So actually his fault.
Garcia could have done better for the second goal but it's still not on him.
Busi misplaced passes left and right today and pique cost a direct goal and many conceded chances.
Araujo and Kounde and Christiansen all missing are big loses for us since we have no alts there.
Noy sure what to make of this result. The team tried a lot, but the defense is non existent.

Good point. Went out of the Asian Champions League in the group stages too.

CL Group stage DNA. We move.

 

[Joan]

Let's call a spade a spade.

A coached team doesn't play like Barca plays. Not to mention a well coached team.

His tactics don't work, his subs are bad, has no flexibility, players don't thrive under him. What false hope are we clinging to?

 

[Givenchy]

His subs are terrible, his tactics are terrible, most of his signings have been terrible, playing Busquets in 2022 CL with Frenkie on the bench is terrible. His qualifications for the Barca job are terrible, his style of football is terrible.

 

[serghei]

Yeah, doom and gloom Barcaforum at its best.

We missed our full defense plus our best midfielder to injuries ffs.

Besides, don't think getting smashed in last 16 in CL is much more uplifting than going in EL.
