Xavi Hernández

[JamDav1982]

Today we did (apart from one lapse in concentration).

No they didnt.

It was backs to walls and all over shop.

Girona didnt have quality to take advantage.

 

[Windhook]

Barca sat back and tried to defend game out.

Barca got worse when Girona came out and got forward.

Try again.

Try again.

Barca looked for openings all game. Girona just parked the bus against a mediocre Barca lineup and they went jihad in the last 10 minutes, but this version of Xavi's Barca is not taking BS in dying seconds.

Girona are a decent team with technical quality.

 

[jamrock]

Indeed... before 1-0.

As I said... Barca got worse when they applied pressure.

So making out poor Barca as teams never attack is nonsense. They did and Barca go worse.

No one said team doesn't attack, making up shit as usual.

They sat back & defended for 75 minutes.

Exactly

Another grinding win from Valverde.

Xavi wants Parejo like EV from 5 years ago so yeah, maybe Xavi learns from the mister.

Nah.. Barca tried to control game and invite Girona on long before lats ten.

Try again.

This is where defenders like Araujo and Kounde, and Christensen are helping out. They are usually comfortable dominating the 16m box and rather rarely get exposed in random attacks usually involving some sort of crossing.

Haha no.

They didnt look all that comfortable today. It was chaotic and last ditch.

Same as Sociedad who missed open goals and Barca were scrambling late on.

Same as Espanyol who scored late.

Same as Betis who scored late and went to pens.

 

[jamrock]

The fact that we conceded only 6 goals this season is 98% luck, 2% skill.

 

[vegitot]

Well Xavi will win the league but perharps will be humiliated by Ten Hag.

98% Stegen is on steroid.

 

[jamrock]

98% Stegen is on steroid.

Lol very well could be true.

About 55-60%.

 

[JamDav1982]

Mix of teams missing chances, MATS being best player in league to date and some good performances defensively from Barca.

Last few and today were not good controlled games bar Real.

But try again. Relax, folks.

We no longer have "miss you" players like Umtiti and Lenglet.
