Xavi Hernández

[Blaugrana Bull]

He did well.

Age has caught up with him. Anyway, where is usual complaining about grass length? "Football has lost" etc?

Ironically there is a picture of him during warmups checking the grass lmao.

He also made some complaint about Real Madrid scoring by counters that annoyed me. Made it seem like we were dominating the whole time and they just got lucky by randomly scoring a couple of times.. I love him and want him to manage Barca one day but he is a bit too stuck in the old ways to truly become a tactically flexible manager.

he will never be a good manager. and if barca continue with the mentality of hiring such bros for the job, then we will always be behind.

Can't we just play Xavi like Pirlo does for Juve with Masch and Rakitic being Pogba and Vidal in midfield would be an instant upgrade on the current midfield Lucho is trying to make

Not the greatest of games from him tonight.

Really? Doing his best to tie together a disjointed team, thought he played well.

 

[CatalinR10]

he was ok but nothing special

 

[te amo barca]

he was ok but nothing special

a midfielder can't be special in our current system

The tactics do that midfield absolutely zero favors.

Rakitic playing like a wide DM, Xavi all alone with no linkup help but Alba.

I don't blame him for not standing out, it's really hard to stand out like this.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Very good defensively. He did what he could've done, can't blame him for the lack of creativity .
Thanks Xavi.

 

[DonAK]

I think he was good considering the circumstances.

So you already see it. Understand the meltdown now?

And I haven't even watched the clasico and celta games yet.

Watch celta 1st, somehw it'll make the clasico look better.

 

[Barcaman]

I really admire how he takes it all in a stride. Playing midfielder without midfield and abandoning possession football.
