Xavi Hernández

Instead regretted that one after clicking post. Sergi gave him a few games though

@serghei most the youngsters were already established in the first team by Koeman.

Torre or Estanis should get a crack at AML ahead of Alba. Who knows, they may even surprise.

Nah he wants to win this one and get back in a grove, then he'll give a few B team Players chances.

Although he's done that already this season in games that matter with alcaron.

It's looking like Barcaforum just got Torre wrong & he's just not good enough.

So it's definitely Balde at LW.

Alarcon and Estanis have both played this season but would think what is being


Over stating it there.

Who does Gundogan start for that adds more experience?

This is a real question though. If Busquets stays (and we all pray he doesn't), Gavi has to drop to the bench and Gundogan will be used as Pedri's sub, or starts in games where Pedri needs to rest. I would have also added him as Frenkie's sub, but he doesn't have the legs to babysit Busi week in week out. If Busi goes, I think he would start, but Xavi has to figure out how to make a 3 man midfield work consistently with FDJ as the pivot or if it's a 4 man midfield, he'll start in a double pivot with FDJ. I know some people here might not like a Gundo-FDJ double pivot, but considering how the likes of Roberto, Kessie, Pedri and Gavi perform better when playing higher up the pitch, it's the best option we've got.

So bad

I watch both ours and Man United matches at the same time. The difference in football level between 2 matches are HUGE.

 

[vegitot]

Pass to Alba and pray.

Great ball control though.

[Birdy]

If Laporta has any balls left in him,
he should pack him back to Qatar, together with Jordi Cryuff, the moment the season is over,
irrespective of league win or not

They will renew him for no logical reason whatsoever.

Some solid joy around here I see .

I asked for an improvement, I did not arrive.

Xavi: "Yesterday we tried training on a dry pitch in Barcelona. The grass really hurts us. It's bad, not only for us but also for Getafe. Look at Munir, who couldn't even shoot the ball..."

Omg The meme has returned.

They cannot be renewing him at this stage, it would be so unbelievably short-sighted.
