Xavi Hernández

[Porque]

Doubt it looking at the teams.

Well quite literally, looking at the bookies we are favourites.

Better players too.

Only thing that were to swing it in Utds favour is the managers. If we were to conceed that that is why Man UTD are better.

We are not leaders either. If the league was to end for any reason today it would be given to Madrid as the tiebreaker is H2H.

No.

Why not Arteta? Dude is absolutely killing it with an inferior squad to ours in a more challenging league. Currently first place.

Maybe?

He said he won't leave Arsenal. Why should he, he's reaping the fruits of a good work spread on 3-4 years.

I understand why he wouldn?t want to leave. I really do. I have always called bs on the argument that the best players wouldn?t want to join us, for Barca is still the club so many young players grow up idolizing. However, when it comes to managers, the picking is slim.

Arteta is in a good situation at Arsenal.

Huge financial backing, great youth players, very long leash by the board who trust him unconditionally, freedom to mould the project as he wants, supported by fans.

Barcelona is a more difficult and less attractive job at the moment with poor finances.

This is all true.

Have been saying for months: Absolutely forget about Arteta. He gets the team to play really well and gets out immediately right after? Hell no. Use your brain.

The wisest plan is to stick with Xavi until we see if the team finishes the season fighting for titles until the end. If not, best manager you can bring is Tuchel, nobody else seems like a sure improvement short term.

Damn, impressive Arsenal, Brighton away is not easy.

He looks like one of the best managers in the world, but he had plenty of time to work at this Arsenal team.

Last season they bottled a top 4 finish.

I am always in favor of giving time to coaches.
But the coach has to show signs we are going towards the right direction

Coming from the guy simping for Dembele despite showing zero signs of progress?
