Xavi Hernández

[JamDav1982]

We had 60% more shots on target than United, despite Pedri injury, no Dembele, and an atrocious (deliberately) back 4 to start with

We are the better team tbh, Xavi is just an arrogant clown at times

Once he stopped shiting hmself about losing and over thinking it Barc were the better side.

 

[JamDav1982]

So a shite attack, which most don't bother with.

Nah defence was bigger issue.

Stop pining for Messi.

His arrogance is hard to stomach.

Would be unwatchable/insufferable if not a midfield GOAT

I don't know how someone can think Alonso is viable for these kind of matches. I simply can't fathom what goes through Xav's noggin when he takes these decisions.

I actually believe him here. Because even if Barca had won 2-0 here it would have been very far from decided.

 

[JamDav1982]

How on earth did he not switch Aruajo and Kounde sooner?

Wild.

There was not one of the best back four in their normal position tonight.

Alonso is never a CB anyway.

When was the last time United beat a top 8 side in the world 3-0

Omission of away goal rule would have been a game changer.

Btw, we had Araujo and Kounde starting and again we have conceded 2 goals in a European game. Practically every time we have gone to Europe under Xavi we have shipped 2+ goals yet domestically, 7 in 22...

Are the usual suspects here ever going to admit the quality of LaLiga attackers just sucks?

The fact 3 of those 7 came against Madrid just strengthens the point. We concede a lot of goals whenever we face good quality players.

0 goals conceded tonight when it was Balde-Christensen-Araujo-Kounde…..

Both goals came from Alba and Alonso's side.

Was clear as day they would target that side but they were lucky not to concede from some of the poor Kounde and Araujo defending also.

You might have a solid point had we played the usual back 4 in their usual positions.

I see your point about LL attackers being noticeably weaker than top tier European attackers (ofc), but you're jumping the gun. If we play the usual back 4 at OT and ship 2-3 goals, then I agree fully.

Mistakes were made, but good result, take it learn from it & move on.
