Xavi Hernández

Can't say heads will roll & we start from zero after the bayern lost and still start
Pique & busquets.

Gotta go all in, drop pique, busquets, alba, Jessie smollettt and go with youth, we suck we won't make the top 4 anyways.

 

[serghei]

I think he's scrambling because he realized that with the players he has, high press football is suicidal. The best thing for us atm would be to lose any chance to top 4. Maybe with every objective out of question, we'll finally start to behave like it's ground zero.

 

[DonAK]

Good option.

Changes that can be made.

Neto in goal.

Garcia starter more often than not, instead of Pique.

Try midfield 3 with no Busi in it for once. Please.

If we are still shit, so be it.

Yes.

I understand wanting some experienced players in the team when almost every player starting have under 100 or 50 games at this level but the only experience Busquets, Pique and ter Stegen bring on right now are experience in taking Ls.

 

[Nazario1985]

Let him bring his Qatari squad !! put with them nico/abde/gavi/busi(bench) we might be more decent.

 

[mc_lovin]

So far we have seen the opposite: that youth played are playing better than veteran senior Amigos.

That doesn't mean every youth player will be a better choice. And ffs, a third of our team is under 20 But sure, more (random) U20 players will help.

That's NOT a winning formula.
(neither is what we see right now, but at least it's close )

Yes, it does not mean, but as i said, the veterans SHOULD NOT see the pitch again the way they are playing.
It's simple as that.
Better take a gamble until you can bring in top players with some good prospects, RATHer THAN see us sink deeper every day with some entitled bums getting paid millions to have no shame playing like they do

Honestly this. Don't think that we will suddenly be playing for top 4 and win the Europa League if we bench these veterans but I'm also fairly sure that wouldn't be doing any worse without them.

There is no gamble without quality. It's a miracle we uncovered Gavi, Nico, (Abde)...

I am all for a radical cut, with the best case scenario in January, but not just blind opportunism.

It's really bizarre to see one of the most anti-BBZ posters (mc_lovin) take a very unilateral BBZ-esque stand of "proven shit veterans are still better than a team of U-20 year olds". You could be right, but what's this absolute resistance to even trying out the idea? It's not like we're making top 4 either way.

Yeah, at this point, It'll be a very pleasurable experience to just see their grins on the bench. The highlight of the season. I would trade an 8th place finish for a 10th place finish just for that.

I am all for youth, but it's absolutely insane for me to go for >50% U20 players. It's virtually impossible to win like that - and the club hasn't given up on top 4 yet. The veterans are shit, but they still give structure. Not everyone is Gavi either.

I will bet you if Xavi played a roster of young legs and got them to play some semblance of modern football, we will be top 8. Possibly pushing even 6th or 7th.

And that's not praise on some of our youth. The quality in LL outside RM is shocking. Even today, Osasuna were abysmal.

 

[Devils]

Hate that it has to be Xavi dawg.

But this is exactly what I predicted. He wants to play Busi, Pique, Akba every game and renew Roberto.

Brendinho Rodgers was always the man for the job. Joga Bonito Professor.

Even RM would struggle to get 4th in the prem. At this point La Liga is basically to RM what Bundesliga and Ligue1 are to Bayern and PSG.

Big final next game guys.
