Xavi Hernández

[Barcaman]

Xavi: "We have many things to improve regarding the offensive aspect of the game."

Xavi: "We need to have more patience and be more calm. We're having the same problem in every match."

Is it me or he sounds as if he's always blaming someone?
Weak mentality imo. and shows lack of character.
Maybe he needs to read Extreme ownership by that Jacko guy.

Jordi Cruyff: “You can protest all you want, but VAR does justice 99% of the time. Pity for Bilbao, but it was a handball. Congratulations to Bilbao for the pressure, but we got the 3 points"

Man said congrtualtions for the pressure

Handball rules updated in 2021 :

'If a player accidentally touches the ball with their arm or hand, and it is then played by another player before ending in a goal, the goal is legal'.

'If a player accidentally touches the ball with their arm or hand and immediately scores, it is not legal'.

Wasn't accidental. He got the ball with his hand raised high. Ref made the right call. Hand to ball, unnatural position all that stuff that frames it as not accidental.

Lmfao what

He got peppered in the last 15 minutes lmfao

We are playing like prime athletico Madrid atm

 

[Messigician]

No, it's a choice, and quite obviously one at that.

We score every game yet are regularly not finding a 2nd. If our offense was that bad we would be getting shut out sometimes but we always find the first goal, literally always.

Then it is obvious to see that we start shelling up a bit, and into the last 20 minutes there will be only one person in the other half of the pitch with the rest behind the ball.

The phases of game we have are very clear - looking for a goal, defending a lead, taking a break.

The Catalan Mourinho

 

[KingLeo10]

8 goals conceded in 25 games. On pace to concede 12 goals in 38 games, which is absolutely mind boggling

All time record is 15 goals conceded in a 38 game season by Mourinho's Chelsea

Xavi: "We have many things to improve regarding the offensive aspect of the game."

Xavi: "We need to have more patience and be more calm. We're having the same problem in every match."

He loves what he's watching. Its obvious because we are using the exact same approach practically every game, same players, same formation, same subs - if he thought there was a problem why keep doing the exact same thing every game?

He is being a little manipulative with his media image. Who knows why.

But Gavi kind of gave the game away a few weeks ago - 'Xavi tells us to focus on keeping a clean sheet, and goals will come'.

Put it this way. If we improve our efficiency up front and learn to pass better in the last third, take better decisions, we can build something important here. The main building blocks are already in place providing a solid base.

 

[jamrock]

A lot of us failing to score, is just us not taking our chances & poor decisions in the final 3rd.

If it gets to 65 minutes & we're up 1-0, it's not logical to push for the 2nd, you take one if the opposition opens up, trying to find the equalizer, but even then we fail to take our chances.

That's true. But I feel like im watching Prime Simeone Atleti at times.

You can see how much we take pride in the defensive aspect.

Which is both my greatest praise and greatest resentment.
