Xavi Hernández

1. that's CAP, we had more than enough experience in the squd to lead - oh wait those experienced players xavi is leaning on are the ones with a weak mentality
2.Yes we do need a better mentality and players like arujo and balde bring that - others not so much.
3.Xavi brought in a lot of those backup players (not as back mind you) himself i wouldnt trust him to bring in anyone - hes made too many mistakes as it is.
4.He's improved out intensity compared to where it was but yes definitely needs to be improved more.
5. That aint happening because he brought in deadwood and also renewed deadwood.

Our squad as a whole isn't experienced under pressure in knockout games due to 2 major reasons

1. A part of the squad haven't played/have played very few under pressure in knockout games for a club of the stature of Barcelona (Kounde, Kessie, Balde, Gavi, Fati, Ferran, Raphinha, Garcia)

2. The ones who've played in them aren't really relevant bcos their mentality is shit, and they can't help the inexperienced ones cope in them (Busi, Alba, Roberto, Alonso, Ter Stegen, and to some extent Lewy)

This makes no sense.

Blaming him and the board for Ferran signing is valid cricitism. Saying he happens to like players that cost very little or nobody wants like Roberto, Alonso, Kessie is completely retarded.

It's much more likely that these players are useful for us because they cost very very very little money, compared to top ones, who cost a lot of money.

Use your logic ffs.

Xavi rates all those players you mention and he rates Busi as you claimed he wouldnt and he will want Messi as you claimed he wont.

Setien level manager.

Only difference in these players actually believe he is good and play for him.

 

[Porque]

The difference between top players and bench players, especially cheapo bench players like ours that nobody wants, is also their inferior mentality and ability to deal with pressure. If all of these attibutes were so easily coachable, you wouldn't have players costing 100m and players that you try to sell for free like Roberto but nobody wants.

I don't agree that this particular game was lost because of anything else than our team having too many inferior players at once on the field, in key positions.

Madrid for example had their best 11 available. Don't tell me they missed Mendy lol. It was a massive difference in quality based on what they had, and what we had. If this happened with our best 11 also available, then yes, you can blame the manager first and foremost.

Well the difference in quality is the perception based on alot of our players underperforming despite leading the league (Fati, Ferran, Alba).

Even so we setup well initially and had a better first half. Just because of who was missing doesn't mean we simply endure what is happening during the match and stay static and inshallah.

We did that and lost 4-0.

There was alot that could have been attempted to atleast try and shift the momentum back our way.

Nonsense.

The players with most experience were just as bad.

It's normal for young teams like ours full of youngsters to take time to build confidence and experience in these games. Especially when multiple main players are missing. It's all normal and obvious.

 

[JamDav1982]

Haha fucking hell.. Gavi gone from mentalty monster to a youngster who needs to 'build confidence'.

The mental gymnastcs out in force again.

Barca had two young players tonight. One was the best player in team.

More excuses.

Nah you make bad points.

Barca dont lack experience.

 

[serghei]

Common story around here to confuse logical explanations with excuses. I already told you that it's our fault for not being able to build a solid squad and having to rely on multiple subpar players in these types of games.

Our fault we elected that Bartomeu bum, our fault in most of it, for the failed signings that cost us hundreds of millions in the past and triggered this financial crisis and so on.

These are not excuses, but explanations and repercusions of our past mistakes in the last 5-6 years, which are affecting us dearly today. You just want and demand miracles. And that's not possible.

Nah more common to make excuses to fit each game.

Such as Gavi Barca are young and need to 'build confidence'.

Or completely ignoring the disaster that 'elite' mentalty players such as Gavi was tonight.

I didn't mention Gavi. You're trying to somehow make it about him just like you do with your Puig shit and whatever you come up with like a broken record.
