Xavi Hernández

[BJJ]

Six points lost already this season and we still have to play the big guns. Not to mention how badly we played against a shirt Porto side.

 

[serghei]

Just relax, and support the team. Even if you sack Xavi, this is gonna achieve nothing except probably make the team worse. He's the right man for the job, provenly so by now, so... best thing to do is be patient and stand by the team.

I understand wanting to sack him if the team sinks low, but atm we're undefeated into the season, while ridden with injuries. Not the time to throw the towel lol.

We will accept you back into the fold when Xavi has won the League. Bunch of non-believers here. We played a quarter of the season and are 3 points of Last year it was 5 at this point

Barca should go close to winning the league. That is an expectation.

Being three points behind when had much easier run compared to Real isnt great at this stage.

The team are not set up well or playing well and scraping by too many times v average/poor sides.

Lot needs to improve for Barca to win league.

Xavi shouldnt be sacked but he needs to improve on a lot.

Needs to find balance in that defence and DM area big time and stop with favouring certain players not playing at level he seems to think they are.

Like who?

 

[serghei]

Literally the only player that can feature more in midfield in current conditions is Sergi Roberto .

Last season after nine games Barca had dropped less points and been away to Sociedad and R Madrid.

This season have dropped six points and not played one of better teams.

 

[serghei]

Last season Barca exceeded expectations, now they didn't so far. Move on. We are not Manchester City to produce league title after league title. Every season is a difficult fight.

Fake news and not relevant to point made.

Go tell us how Barca cant win and Xavi is 'easily fooled and under a delusion' again.

Then when Barca scored claimed 'only joking lads'.

'Support the team'

Next two games are vital. Bilbao is a must win. And if we don't lose vs Madrid we are golden.

 

[serghei]

Barca should finish 2nd in the league. If we do end up winning it, it's called beating expectations once again. If it's 2nd, it's not great, not bad. If it's 2nd with a big difference behind Madrid, then we can enter into bad season territory in the league.

These are reasonable metrics.

Wouldnt say 'golden' as if draw with Real still 3 pts behind with game in Bernabeau to come and them having played all the better teams.

 

[serghei]

Madrid are better than us, so they should finish ahead. Especially after spending over 100m. on Bellingham who seems to be a big hit. That's on paper. In reality we can always produce another surprise win.

Not quite. The expectation is to challenge for league.

If winning it is exceeding expecataions then finishing second is falling short.

Depends on how would lose it how much pressure Xavi would be under but if Barca dont win league and dont have run in Europe then it is season that hasnt been a success.

Finishing 2nd within a small margin is expected result.
