The amount of injuries are also due to the type of games we create for ourselves. Instead of taking care of these ordinary games through sensible yet cynical attacking play, we do a whole lot of nothing and then have to overextend ourselves in the final stages to fight for a result.

The best football is played in a state of composed aggression. We can't seem to find that state. We go directly from perfunctory ball moving to desperate overaggression.

I expected our style of play to be at a different level by this point under Xavi. Understandably so many key new additions that it feels like another pre-season is needed to develop rhythm & understanding of playing together.

And winning is obviously better than dropping points but performance has to matter at Barca. We are not a fluid team in attack or defense, very chaotic buildups in attack & when trying to recover defending.

If 1v1 isn't working, combination play can dissect a lot of defenses - we saw it for years when Xavi was a player when it wasn't simply Leo taking everyone on. Team plays with personality of a warrior but a sloppy one

Well, when even the most diehard Xavi stans come to acknowledge this,
it tells something...

I don't know, is there anyone left other than Serghei who is not a doubter by now?

Its only 3 points lads, we can still do it!

And of course Barca's expectation is nothing than the title win! Even the Atletico fans are disappointed if they finish on second place which is a success for tier 2 teams like Sevilla, sociedad, bilbao, valencia, villareal, not for a top club like Barca! Believe!

The Lewa, FDJ and Kounde injuries are freak accidents early in games.

Raphinha and Pedri are muscle injuries but Raphinhas was early doors.

Bit harsh to be claiming this injuries are all on style of play.

Yes, title is the expectation. But not much we can do if those fools, scrubs all lay down for Madrid.

8/9 wins. What a fucking joke!

That team is rubbish!!
