Xavi Hernández

[fergus90]

People forget where we were when xavi took over. Everyone is an internet manager but xavi is a Barca legend collecting millions as a manager. He might not become the best but he is miles better than all previous ones. We just didn't turn into a bulldozer team in one summer with some good transfers.

I think the worry is and yes it?s only one game so shouldn?t get too concerned, but bar the change of kit - it looks like the exact same team as last season in terms of the tactics and positional play.

Make Frenkie take 50% and spend money on fullbacks.

Thin ice xavi. No benifits of the first season narrative

Same tactics as last season, team plays too far apart, midfield adds nothing.

I am shocked how bad our midfield always looks.

That's supposed to be his biggest strength

Relax guys. We'll go undefeated this season. We will pick a draw here and there obviously.

Would have said the same, but I don't trust some of our hyped up players.

Not when he starts 17 yo Gavi just because he's a Masia guy.


Xavi should stop being a fucking moron and start De Jong already.



This is getting ridiculous.

agreed. If Frenkie leaves and Kessie gets regular playing time we done.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

if barca isnt first or near the first place after 10 ll matches xavi needs to go

RB is the most glaring hole in the squad right now. There are other issues too but Xavi needs to do better after all the spending. Same tactical issues from last season carrying over into this first game.

It is always something lol. When are we going to have a decent balanced squad ffs.

Regardless of the RB situation, Barca's bench contained Fati, Torres, De Jong, Depay, Aubameyang, Pjanic plus Kounde in the stands. Every manager in world football would kill for that squad depth.

'Ansu Fati, Aubameyang and Frenkie De Jong are coming on from the bench'

What team in the world could say that? The amount of talent we have is ridiculous and yet we get stonewalled by Rayo.

 

[Horatio]

We just need to win next 2 games to get into good groove.
