Xavi Hernández

Yes but the point is he is making out fans are not unhappy when that clearly has not been the case.

Yeah, he's feeling the pressure of course. This season has been a disappointment for him too.

In the cups they didn't do as amazing as in Serie A.

Yes but they were a better side last season regardless and it is current quality that matters more than last seaons results.

Could just as easy say 'well they were shite in CL even when good in league let alone now'.

Be another gigantic failure if go out to Napoli.

Gigantic is pushing it. Maybe 60-40 for us.

Xavi: We lack Gavi's leadership, his heart. The injury to Gavi is a dagger in the heart. He is the soul of the team. That's the reality. The loss of Ter Stegen as well, one of the captains. It's not an excuse, it's the reality

De Zerbi could also be an option. He is managing Brighton and not some top CL team.

Stable EPL job is great position for a young manager. Don't see him leaving that for a high-risk job at Barca.

Nah it would be gigantic failure to go out to Napoli in last 16 and would be added to a string of failures.

An 18 year old is the soul of the team????

Textbook Xavi excuses.. but he may well believe it.

Napoli will be up for the tie. We of course will be our ususual choking selves.
We are the weakest big team in Europe by far.

Gavi just throwing himself into reckless tackles and running around like a headless chicken is the soul of the team? No wonder we are in shit Street.

I agree with you on gavi, he has ways to go football wise. But I have started to believe his grit rubs off on rest of team and does have an important impact against certain oppositions. It helps to have a teammate fight like that.

Gavi brings something to the squad but he is not the soul of the team. There is no soul in this team. Totally bland and lifeless,even with Gavi. The manager is supposed to give structure and soul to the team. Xavi does neither.

Xavi still, after ALL these matches, continues to insist that the team lacks running and energy. It was his comments to the team after Madrid too. Would make sense he holds this demented view.

Another disasterclass post from the turd of BARCAFORUM.

Gavi is definitely the soul of this team cause he is the only player in this team with any heart and soul.

Gavis soul in last two games v Real.. 6-1 across the two games at home.... one of them the worst home defeat in 60 odd years.

That is not all on Gavi but just shows Xavis excuses time and again.
