I agree with those saying he was tactically outmatched by Benitez for most of the game. We were a shapeless mess towards the end, the subs were desperate and all over the place... And it was against Celta not a freakin CL knockout game.
I like the guy, he was a legend as a player, now as a manager I want him to be the next coming of Pep as much as everyone. Last couple of games pre-Celta were promising but this is back to the usual business, wrong line up, wrong tactics, anti-creative "Xaviball" right until these desperate subs. We had more luck than brains and managerial insight today. Some individual brilliance from players, namely MATS, Lewa, two Joaos, Gavi won us the game, meanwhile at the back thanks to this set up we were more vulnerable than a 4 yo kid walking through a city after dark :/ Sorry to say, most of the time Xavi looks completely clueless. I still hope he will turn into a great manager one day, but I'm not holding my breath.
And yeah, I'm worried about our European campaign too, lol
