Xavi Hernández

which is what exactly?

Enlighten us with examples from today's game

You cant be enlightened.

Dont worry about it you would just argue until blue in face to be proven wrong again.

He has brought Balde and Lamine thru and given them a lot of trust at really young ages, tbf to him.


Now the challenge will be to see if Raphinha takes him out of the team instantly or Lamine rightfully keeps the spot.

I feel that we were set up better last year especially defensively and that so far we are showing some decline over time. Feels like a regression is going on not a progression.

We are 3 games in...

Also played really well in two of them.

No argument. Thanks
You can FSO then

 

[Birdy]

You can't really say he trusts Yamal, then it's the only choice he has that fits the RW profile:
wide winger that holds the width and is left footed
His only other option was Ferran there who doesn't fit as it's not his position

Wait to confirm that when Raphinia is eligible to play

Next

Plenty but you are a cluless waste of time who makes same shite arguments about Dest etc while claiming FDJ is not good enough.

Utter shite time and again.

I think we are forgetting the fact that Villarreal could've been 3-0 up in the first 10 minutes...

Away vs Villarreal.

I would put it like this - last year we played like shit but we were very good at shutting opponents out of games. We gave up few chances.

This year seems we are way more vulnerable defensively and regularly giving up big chances.

 

[JamDav1982]

He will have issues if keeps repeating same mistakes despite the good parts.

Cant keep over rating Roberto/Alonso and shite like Romeu.

Have you seen our defence? As soon as our first choice fullbacks are injured our defensive depth crumbles in every area.

He's dying for us to get Cancelo.

 

[Barcaman]

Noone from top clubs would hire him.

Such a chaotic football. Hands down worst since Charly Rexach famous for his "go out we are Barca" tactics.

Yes and relying on players Xavi has chosen to keep.

Birdy simping for Setien who got destroyed at home on xG by a Barca without Pedri, Araujo, Christensen (one half) etc etc.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Our goals today were inshallah, pushover dispossessed in box, lucky ferret shot deflection return, and pushover tap in.

None of them came close to the quality and composition of Villa's second goal, much less their first and third goals.

Black magic.

 

[Barcaman]

Balde only played because there was no one else at the time. Xavi saw he was great and kept him. Clearly remember his comments of surprise.

Same could be said about Lamine. Xavi pined for Demebele to stay and for new winger forward. We failed to secure either plus Raphina got injured. No one else to play. Enters Lamine.

I am oversimplifying it but had Xavi got his signings we could have had much different outcome.
