Xavi Hernández

[Barcilliant]

Here comes the crybaby making all the excuses in the world for United despite us outplaying them with key players missing of our own.

If excuses are made for United, so can the ones for Barcelona.

Forgot all the big losses after we won at home? A draw 8s almost as good as a loss. We need to win now which will be almost impossible. Shit result brough about by a clown manager who has no idea how to win in Europe.

He rested the Backline because he knows the league is the priority.

Fake news.

When did we outplay them though? First 10-15 mins?

Fred dominated our midfield all game.

 

[serghei]

Busi was starting to gell better with De Jong. If he is back I would take him ahead of Roberto and Kessie no doubt. Especially with Gavi out.

Steady on.

Fred marked FDJ quite well but he had 30 passes and 70% accuracy.

Wasnt dominatng anything but did his job cutting off FDJ well.

 

[malvolio]

Just hope this won't affect us in La Liga. Don't want Ter Stegen doubt to rear its head.

Then whole team should pull its weight and stop relying on Stegen being outstanding every game.

 

[te amo barca]

Fake news.

It is. This Utd fixture is Europa League at the end of the day, and not even the round of 16 at that. Still all to play for in the next 90-120 mins

Xavi: ?We have many games in the next few days and we need to rotate, that's why there are 2 changes in defence. We need to prevent injuries.?

Lol he said this before the game. Why are we even debating this? He was rotating.
[MENTION=6099]JamDav1982[/MENTION]

Then he should rotate so that Ferran and Fati play more often too, and Lewandowski plays less. Rotations after all.

Also, how ironic that he always plays Pedri and Gavi. Because he decided not to rotate these players tonightC they will both miss the return leg.

Well, Gavi will. And assuming a Pedri will too?

 

[Porque]

Xavi got it wrong. UTD will be a better side in Old Truffle while we will be weaker.

 

[Barcilliant]

We have a good buffer in the league. Clown could have rotated in the league,not Europe. It's win or bust now for this serial loser. His European record is atrocious. Fuck him.

 

[serghei]

Stegen and De Gea were decent, not amazing.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Busi was starting to gell better with De Jong. If he is back I would take him ahead of Roberto and Kessie no doubt. Especially with Gavi out.

I don't know. They are seriously intense.

With likes of Sabitzer back for return also they may completely run us over in midfield if we play Busquets. Fred already had a great game with his intensity.

Its difficult though considering the alternative is Kessie who doesn't seem to do much. He is also really passive but at least has legs to press a little.

Fred dominated our midfield all game.

Over the course of the whole game, we had 8 shots on target to their 5. We were a little better, despite the lineup fuckup

No it isnt.

Would be rotating more if that were the case.

Not playing 18 yr old Gavi week in week out for 90 mins.

Europa league is worth a lot of money and Barca need every penny.

 

[stb_1]

So Gavi, Pedri and Busquets all out?
