Xavi Hernández

Involved in 3 of the 4 goals. Created another good chance for Neymar. Only player to be completely unphazed by that chaotic game (91 % passing accuracy: Cesc 80 %, Song 76 % ). He's playing like old school Xavi when rotated.

Xavi with fresh legs is looking mighty fine. I hope he has several more years at no more the 3000 minutes a year.

It's incredible how great he still is, even though he's past his absolute peak. Still just an incredible player and probably will be until the day he retires.

Xavi in 2012-2013 not the same Xavi in 2011 , 2010 , 2009 and 2008 ,, I miss the old Xavi .. We need him

Xavi can have huge impact on this team if properly rested.I would still like to see more S. Roberto replacing his place when he rests tho.

He was good vs Rayo but his free kick crosses and corners wasteful. Needs to stop taking them period.

You know when it's so annoying when someone takes a corner and it never gets past the first man ....... why don't we make the first man one of ours

 

[barcanuck]

No clue Zinc. But he just needs to stop taking them corners.

He looks so much better than last season, the rotation sure is helping him...

I agree. If we play him like this we can still get another good few years out of him.

The only thing missing from having the best of his last years is quitting NT this summer.

I still think that he could play less, but tonight, after a long time, it was like I saw the real Xavi again.

That would be the best thing for everyone, but I don't know if Xavi wants to do something like that.

Haven't seen Xavi play this well in about 2 years with the exception of a few performances(Euro final and Milan 2nd leg last year). The slightly more direct approach and the rest is helping him a lot. Let's hope he keeps this up.
