The important thing is Thiago actually defends, which Xavi didn't do much of even before his injury.

He should take all the time he needs... There's no necessity to rush him, especially if his performances are hindered by his health issues...

Does anyone have statistics as to how many passes arrive at the team mate by each player? Would be interesting to see as I think the only thing Thiago has to learn right now to get a starting spot is not giving away the ball easily.

Thiago infact has got Dispossessed more than Xavi , but his defensive contribution is much higher than that of Xavi, he's made more tackles and interceptions than Xavi in less than half the games. I think that should be the reason why Thiago should start, because Xavi hasn't got it in his legs to track back more often, and that can cost us dearly.

It's time for Thiago to get his deserved place. I wasn't even happy when Xavi signed the extension till 2016. one thing being that Thiago would have to wait much longer and also the likes of Roberto and Samper would be vying for a place aswell, i really thought he'd retire by next season. It's best to leave the game on a high, rather than being pushed off, as was the case for Madrid Legend Guti.

Xavi has done so much to this club and probably one of the best mids we've ever had, but he should know his time to call it off, one more year max, and after that it's always going to be difficult to stay at a top club like Barca.

I hope Xavi recovers soon because he is the boss, but it gives us a real oppertunity to try something new:

Iniesta - Busi - Cesc
Villa - Messi - Pedro

2 proper wingers alongside Mr. 4 Ballon.

Xavi is 33 not 37. One more year? He still has more to offer if they save him against cannon fodder. The issue is they start him every game, and rush him back from injuries even though there are capable subs. If anything,their mismanagement of his match accumulation is probably what will make him leave the game earlier than someone with his playing style should.

Yeah, the problem with our coaches is they overplay Xavi tp the point that his gave can no longer take the fatigue. Now Xavi is injuresld again just after a fee weeks he got one. Instead of trusting Thiago Tito plays safe with Xavi as if he's 25 yrs old. We need to save Puyol & Xavi for big matches.

Great stuff. He was rushed back, and now is injured again... Why they didn't play cesc and iniesta in md, with villa upfront, is beyond me.

Tbh I guess Cesc might be an injury waiting to happens as well. We should keep him for Milan game. Thiago is the man for the job now.

seriously everyone is talking about a defender or an attack or neymar BUT the thing we really need is a COACH... you guys might have forgotten but i dont think we will contine with tito next season barca cant risk to have an other season without a coach... perhaps we will see XAVI sooner than expected on the bench
 
Inb4 Xavi becomes coach and leads Barca to 6 CL titles in a row.
And then Thiago becomes coach 15 years later and leads Barca to 10 CL titles in a row...
