We praise him because he would score goals with both feet and was arguably the most technical winger last year being able to make chance after chance but with raphina we don’t have that since he can’t provide what dembele provided for Lewa.
Xavi is not in the wrong here.The only coach that i believe can bring back barca to the top is Xavi.Look what happened with klopp at liverpool the management and fans kept hope in him and he won them everything and liverpool is the only contender strong enough to go face on with man city.Xavi has that love and passion for barca and he will surely bring barca back to the top of europe❤💙
Lewandoski has never been a "pressure" style player... especially now that he is older, Xavi asking him to run is ridiculous... it's the same thing that happened to Ronaldo with Ten Hag... and look Ten hag still can't manage the team because he gives his players roles that they can't fulfill... the same thing could happen to Xavi.
If this was Ernesto Valverde or Luis Enrique, everyone would have demanded the SACK. Just bcoz XAVI is seen as a generational Manager and successor to Pep, people still back him. Honestly speaking he needed way more experience for this JOB.
Atleast everyone can see Barcelona's problem. The ones that you mentioned had Messi and Busquest who was still running. Xavi has players that can't convert 1v1s
Valverde inherited a treble winning team, Enrique inherited a team that had won La Liga with 100pts just a couple years ago with prime Messi, Neymar and got peak Suarez too. What did Xavi inherit? A team that couldn't beat teams like Benfica and genuinely belonged in Europa League. On top of that, Xavi can't sign anyone that's worth much because of all the financial and institutional chaos. Different circumstances warrant different treatment.
@@BlaugranaEverything Cant sign anyone worth?? Gundogan, Kounde, Lewa, Ferran, Cancelo, Felix, Christensen, Raphina, Alonso and the LaMasia players which they dont have to pay for. Felix and Cancelo might be loan signings but quality wise worth every penny. Gundogan , Christensen all came on a free. Problem isnt just the team, its mainly the coaching here.
@@mr_j9207 Joao Felix is not good enough, same for Raphinha, Alonso, Lewa and Ferran. I don't deny that defensively the coaching has let us down this season, but the thing is you have to look at all the factors that go into making a coach successful and you will realise that currently at Barca those things are non-existent. Stuff like stability, patience and letting the manager have final authority.
@@BlaugranaEverything Bro, lewa is not good enough? He is one of the best strikers in football. Either he doesn't fit the system or can't be used properly. Either way if the profile didn't match then why they bought him?
In my opinion, Barcelona’s biggest problem has been not just the attack and defense, they’re lacking a defensive midfielder and I’ll explain why that position is so important and so sought after in world football right now. As elite as a team Manchester City are, there’s one thing that’s very noticeable in their team which is that they seem to struggle every time Rodri has been unavailable as they’ve lost every game in his absence this season and you’ve seen the transformative impact that Declan Rice has had on Arsenal and in terms of consistency he’s arguably been the best player in the premier league this season. I don’t think anybody has mentioned how big of a miss Sergio Busquets has been for Barcelona because you look at the profile of their midfielders, Pedri Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan excellent players but none of them fit the profile this team needs which is a pure ball winner and Oriol Romeu is the only player that fits this profile but he has been in poor form and just imagine if they had a very good defensive midfielder if Pedri was next to a player like Rodri, or Frenkie de Jong was next to Declan Rice they would absolutely flourish because off the ball that’s not their game. What Xavi needs is the right profile of the players he wants for example a proper defensive midfielder or a prolific goalscorer. I think people need to start following football games from a tactical perspective and have a better understanding of the game and their roles to their team, because Barcelona just doesn’t have a quality CDM who’s not just defensive minded, they can also contribute to the attacking aspect of their game.
Very Good Analysis my friend, might i just add, Barcelona and Xavi's tactics both rely on a good CDM. this season xavi has been forced to use a weaker squad with the departure of busquets and dembele who were key players for the team. Also to add on your point of the goalscorer, i dont think the team lacks a goalscorer per se I think that we lack wingers who prioritize the assist instead of wasting chances shooting from miles away much like dembele i think his presence is missed a bit more than most fans realize. I believe if we used attacking midfielders on the wings like pep used grealish and silva we'd be able to create more chances and clearer chances for lewandowski.
If you are a coach,not a great one just an average coach,you build your team strategy based on your team/ player’s capabilities,qualities,and not trying to force the players to play in your style if they not capable or they losing they strength. The current Barca have no proper replacement of Busquets. So what could be a solution,either buy one ,if you can’t or don’t want to buy one than change the system. Play a double pivot. Frenkie used to play as double pivot,Romeu played in a double pivot system,Roberto could do the same..etc… not difficult. If you have no proper wingers ( as it is the situation now at Barca ,since Xavi get rid off two youngsters ( Ilias and Abde) ,actually three of them since he get rid off Collado as well. We struggling also with a main striker who can’t score,but always starts the game since he have no competition. He get rid off Dest,saying he is not understanding the tactics ( Dest is not the only one,actually maybe none of the players and fans understand the tactics,if we have any tactics) . Xavi already spent around 300 millions,he also still crying for Bernardo Silva,but the team have zero quality single pivot player. Everyone knew the fact ,if Sergio leave ,the team will need a high quality pivot to fill the hole what he will leave behind. But what we got ? Lewa instead of Aubameyang ,we got Ferran,we got Alonso,we got Gündogan,Kounde,Inigo,Raphinha,Bellerin…..and finally Romeu…. At the moment the team have problem everywhere. The front line unable to score ,doesn’t matter how big chances they have. There isn’t even a tiny sign of improvement there comparing to the Koeman ‘s era. The same slow clueless attack,and we spent around 150-180 millions on attackers to strengthen that area. The defence is not better than it was with Pique,Roberto Alba and Araujo/Eric Garcia.. And we got Inigo,Christensen,Kounde,Alonso to strengthen the defence. Xavi said the team is lacking of creative midfielders ( after he forced Puig out,let Monchu and Nico gone and sent Pablo Torre on loan) ,and he kind of forced the club to get more midfielder,so we got Gündogan,and the team is still lacking of creativity. Even more than before. That roughly 300 millions what the club spent,could have been spent on high quality players ,From that money the club could get Zubimendi and Moscardo as pivots,Get Victor Eoque as attacker,get a young talented lef and right back and a cb as well. He forced Fati out also,not giving proper time for the youngster to regain his form,while he gave plenty of time and chances to Ferran,and he is doing the same with Raphinha,and Lewa. So shortly he could came up with a new idea,spend the money more wisely…. The form of the team is bad,and still some starter players are untouchables,that’s a joke. What will the new generation learn? You could be shit as hell,but if the coach likes you ,you gonna start every game?
Sergi Roberto can definitely play as a CDM when he's playing at his usual position, RB, he barely does anything but him as a midfielder performs very good and he was apart of that Barca Tiki-Taka era he definitely knows every tactic and Pedri, De Jong and Gavi can focus on the attack, and Sergi can definitely contribute to the attack. With that said, now we need a right-back, Dest is playing amazingly at PSV, so a player like Arnau Martinez will contribute to the team as he's very cheap and knows how to play this Tiki-Taka style cause Girona are playing like prime Barca and we need to sign Felix, and Sergi, MATS are the captains we need, last match Sergi Roberto motivated the team at half time to win against Almeria, MATS does the same too
@@GoatEditzYTno sergi isn’t a CDM he is a box to box midfielder. Big difference my friend, exactly Why the guy said people should follow more tactical football and understand players strenght and weakness and not blame them for everything
Barça needs to realize it's not 2009 anymore. They don't have the same talent or depth, and so if their big names start underperforming, they should give way to those who are eager to do so. Marc Guiu has scored in both his debuts and helps enforce a press onto the opponents, but is never given playing time. Of course they shouldn't rely on a singular player, but rather collectively incorporate players into the squad with playing time to see if they can build chemistry or better fit into the manager's ideal playing style. For example, Pedri has created over 5 big chances in LaLiga this season, but has 0 assists because his ability to suddenly create isn't understood well by his forwards. They need someone who isn't just clinical, but can understand when to make runs. That's what made Suarez linkup with Messi's rapid playmaking so well
Napoli from last season would slap Barcelona from this season silly. But Napoli aren’t playing well since Spaletti left so you definitely have a chance
Xavi is not the problem. Not the coaches problem the team can not convert the chances. The issue is ffp, money and not getting the players we want cause ffp doesn’t allow it. Lewandoskis juice is just finished he can not run like he used to. U can say switch him for guiu but putting the weights on the shoulder of a teenager is just not it. To much pressure to handle. I’m sure Xavi is going to experience with Vitor roque on different position he can play as a striker as a winger and as an defensive midfielder. Cause yeh like you said we miss a explosive player running behind every ball. Our problem is the defense is out of form, not playing as strong as they could be. Our problems are also that the fullbacks we have are attacking minded players leaving a lot of space for counter attacks. Our problem is also that we lack a player like busquets. Romeu can be very good but this year he has been disappointing in every game he played. Our problem is also that no one can provide a decent assist. Our problem is lewandowski playing out of position a lot. Our position is that our goalkeeper is not great. That’s why he is our second keeper. Could be very good in the future tho. Our problem is we lack drive and passion As you can see we have lots of problems. Don’t act like the coach is the blame for every one of our bad performances. Ppl forget Xavi is a relatively new coach. And it’s very good he can progress here, ppl wil be more patient with him cause he is a legend. Ppl need to be patient. It’s not like peps man city became one of the best teams overnight. He had 7years to get where he is now. And Xavi will do the the same. Bring back the glory we lost together with deco and Laporta. Only plastic fans are saying Xavi is the problem. We real fans trust in Xavi, the team, Laporta and Deco ❤ visca Barca y visca catalunia ❤
I was actually waiting for you to analyze all this. Barcelona is really performing poorly but we shouldn’t put the blame on Xavi because we lack goals in front of the 18 box
But we can blame him for starting lewandowski. I understand that we don’t have another 9 that is in form but Gundogan can definitely play that false 9 position
It may not be obvious when u look at it talent wise. But the team with the best players and the best team are 2 different things. Its just like how it was with the real madrid galacticos. Considering how barca progress from the back and maintain posssession, the pivot is the heart of our team. This is something cryuff himself has said. And we had the best pivot in the world till last season. Xavi has been forced to use the double pivot or some version of it for the entirity of this season. The double pivot however makes it extremely easy for the opposition to mark and thats why u see a lot of haramball this season. To top it off, busquets was also that guy who could release pressure from the oppositions press. The closest player to that today is pedri. But hes often higher up and thus we lose the ball very easily. Gundo is the closest thing we have to busquets. But when we play gundo, pedri and frenkie, we lose a ball winner like gavi or fermin who can bring in that intensity. So basically, pedri and frenkie are untouchable and when we play those 2, we often have to compromise on either our possession game or on our ball winning abillity. To top it all out, all 3 of our forwards have been pretty poor. Nobody makes those runs behind the defense. The only 1 that does is ferran and hes often brought in as a sub at the final moments of the game which makes it useless. Theres a solution to the defense and midfield problems though. It is to just play Christensen as the cdm with araujo and kounde/inigo as cbs. Christensen has the best press resistance amongst our cbs and is the best progressive passer too 2nd to only de jong. And cancelo has to play up top like balde. He often plays like a midfielder or even a 3rd cb when he plays in the right and hence his best games this season has come when hes unleashed while playing as lb. We need 2 attacking full backs, both our wingers cutting in and 2 of our forwards who are good runners. The lineup is simple 433 Felix Guiu/ferran ferran/raphinia Frenkie Christensen Pedri/Gundo Balde kounde araujo cancelo I really dont understand why this lineup isn't used yet.
xavi is now paid on par with other ELITE managers, and he is worse then the farmer setien, and KOEMAN FFS. Look at madrid, they have a fucking hospital, they dont have a striker and MY BARCA, cant do crap against them. Just shut up
@@Shitposting_IHMN bub the only relevant players in madrid who are injured are vini and courtios. The rest are literally irrelevant guys like camavinga and arda guler who barely even start any games. Whereas in barca we have our best winger as a 16 yr old kid. Our most aggressive midfielder gavi out. And I bet u haven't watched matches lately. The defensive errors are horrible. That's not a system problem. That's individual players messing stuff up. And we have the most big chances created in the top 5 leagues this season. U really think that's possible if the tactics were bad?? Our forwards just can't finish. Xavi can't finish for them. And don't even bring koeman up. Koeman had messi. Weve created way more chances and scored more goals than the 1st half of koemans 2nd season despite him having messi.
At the start of season gavi-Frenkie pivot seemed like the answer to the busquet problem. But alas, luck is not on their side to have them again for most of season. But still I think Barca has enough quality to overcome this season, just need a couple of good performance, a spark from where they can build again. We have seen it couple season before barca was SHIT under Koeman but still caught up at the end of season.Mind you this team is young and very so, has generational talents. Even if they fail this season they will get more experience for next season. The only reason why Xavi is in hot water rn, is cause he won the league in his first full season. They are forgetting, this was a long term project. And i am not saying this cuz i like xavi but cuz if he being such a club legend can't get atleast 2-3 full seasons then who else can you trust?😅
@@m.rgamehub9378 half of barca squad is full of spanish overrated kids who will never win any major trophy Vétérans win y titles. Pedri yamal gavi demir baldi ... will never win big trophy If barca wants to get serious they need to bench them kids like real madrid does
🌪️🐷 “I want you to run like pigs!” According to Diario AS, Xavi was very angry during the half time against Almeria with Barça players… 🍶 He broke several bottles and shouted heavily at the players by saying: “I want you to run like pigs!”. 🇵🇱 Xavi was also telling Robert Lewandowski: “Let’s see if you can run the hell for once…”.
Barcelona problem isn't the coach... it's the same issue Man United are having since 10years.. Barca are going through it now if they don't fix it soon.. It's the Players are not constant and not good enough.. just Big names and hyped players like Raphina/ferran torres/fermin/Romeu/S.Roberto.. The list goes on.. it's just you are not going to win with this squad even with Zidane.. sorry.. Lewandoski is 35.. Victor roque is promising kinda.. but ya.
I really don't think xavi is the problem. We can see his vision and intention very clearly, it's just the unfortunate timing of multiple players under performing at the same period of time, also plus injuries. Like against girona, we played well, create a lot of chances and Xg, but multiple players did an error and wasting chances at the same time. #xavistays
Every one performed badly under Xavi . GARCIA AND DEST performed bad under Xavi too . Look how they play now . GARCIA was a nightmare for the whole Frontline of Barcelona. Even KOEMAN was way better than Xavi even with a weak team.
@@roysnabilie8345 what r you on Abt? koeman had messi, and when he lost him, we were 9th in the league. Xavi is a mile ahead technically. Koeman was spot on at finding young gems I give him that.
@@roysnabilie8345 Way better?? Yeah that's how he got to 9th place right? Enough with this Koeman revisionism, he was an awful manager and as soon as Messi left he got badly exposed. Garcia is not even as good as you think he is btw, you can count the number of Girona have kept a clean sheet on one hand lol. And Dest is a player that isn't meant for a big club, you forget he also flopped for AC Milan when he went on loan there. He can't handle the pressure of a big club and only thrives when the eyes are off of him, if his loan expires and he comes back here he'll start playing like crap once again.
@@ipc2082 But Xavi has many more quality players other than Messi, his lack of tactics and strategies just makes the team look poorly and underperform.
@@dragonmz9514You can’t blame him when the team can’t put the ball in the back of the net. I’ll say this, against good teams he needs to improve tactically, but in La Liga the team has been horrible at converting great passes into goals.
Great breakdown of the multi-system issues facing Xavi now. They are not all his fault, but the disorganization of the defensive line and his inability to make timely substitutions are. I hope Ter Stegen returning will help sort the defense. Any news on that?
I swear barca fans just never know what they want. They wanted Frenkie in 2019 and now he’s a problem, they wanted a better striker and they got lewa and now he’s a problem, they wanted better defenders and they got kounde and Christensen and now they’re criticized all the time. Just support ur players in these hard times ffs
@@dylanverstraete5323you are making statements about things you don’t understand clearly. Who in hell wanted FDJ out besides tabloids who act against the club? Lewandowski is great but he’s reaching the end of his top flight days and at Barça we cannot settle for subpar that’s just not Barça, how can that be a bad thing lol…
@@dylanverstraete5323not to mention Christensen and Araujo are loved here, if anything Kounde is the only one who gets stick but that’s cause he demands to play cb but the team suffers when he does compared to how good he can be at right back. That’s a problem in the player not wanting what’s best for the club and arguably his own individual stature in the game.
@@dylanverstraete5323lastly Lewandowski may have been top scorer last season but that was LAST SEASON… we can’t rest after 1 La liga title and ultimately the fact is we have a 17 year old from the academy who scored every 22 minutes in his competitive debut season and another 18 year old prospect coming from Brazil. If they are performing better than the Legendary striker then that’s just going to be the curtain closer on him at Barça. It’s a shame we don’t have a ready DM and Gavi is out because our problems at DM (Romeu especially) are the peak of what needs remedial work at the moment. With any of this being brought up Barça could easily end up in a Europa league spot and yet you think culers are wromg for complaining about poor performance, get a grip.
Barcelona player's are predictable none of the midfielders ever take a long range shot Raphinha can't dribble a cone Joao felix is highly inconsistent not worth 50million No clinical threat in front of goal Look at real madrid their player's are warriors
I think Xavi is the core of the problem. He just needs to keep consistency in the squad and to manage player morale and emotions. He is treating players like chess pieces and it doesnt work that way. Tem Dynamic demands consistency.
Nahh keep xavi. We sacked valverde and look at what happened And i dont wanna hear the budget argument since marto sabatoged him. As for lewa,start guiu xavi ffs🥲
Xavi don't know what is wrong with the team, let him buy all the best players in the world we still lose from the time he come up to now he has failed to come up with a wining team
People often underestimates crucial players leaving from midfield, we saw Liverpool struggled, city are struggling and Barcelona lost a goat level CDM, it's natural to lose quality when the orchestrator is replaced. I honestly think that Lewy never improved the team, Xavi had to adapt for his playing style. If Auba hsd same amount of matches, he would have had similar stats if not better. The OG Xavi ball suits a explosive runner type Striker, let's hope Vitor can provide that.
Kane and Benzema are great examples of being a mix between a pure striker and a false 9. They linkup well with their wingers and can create from a deeper position. Lewandowski is used to just finishing chances and getting service, which is definitely not the type of #9 Barça are used to. Eto'o and Messi as false 9 were lethal
Hey man, Catalan and culé guy here, I recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying all your content. Nice point regarding Busquets and Dembele, we here used to joke that Dembele was like giving a penguin some cocaine and an AK-47: he would surely miss most of the shots, but damn was it entertaining to watch and all eyes would be on him.
Barcelona facing the same issue United is facing since the post-Fergie era. The only difference is that La Liga is 3 horse race and the Premier league is a 6 horse race.
Nah u cant change my mind its pep fault that he cant find the performance when rodri is out its xavi fault when he cant find the performance when fdj and pedri is out, what about girona and leverkusen u think they are the biggest club rn? they have unknown players last season they were also unknown and still manage to perform absolutely stunning performance their coach is crazy they always take risks they always tell players what to do these 2 clubs in other hands clueless embarrassing to say the least
Every manager except xavi had Messi people don't mention that that's why they had a better record then xavis team xavi don't got a player that can carry a team and win you a game like the last mangers did with Messi 🤷
Not a Barca fan but honestly none of the forwards are just not performing and the lack of a pivot is killing them. Xavi isn't the problem. Will be interesting to see what Vitor Roque can do.
xavi is now paid on par with other ELITE managers, and he is worse then the farmer setien, and KOEMAN FFS. You're not a fcb fan, or even a football enjoyer, stay at us football because you dont know SHIT. Look at madrid, they have a fucking hospital, they dont have a striker and MY BARCA, cant do crap against them. Just shut up

Xavi need better wingers we have too much midfielder wingers Raphina and jaoo felix who cut inside everytime we need explosive wingers who can take on defenders 1 on 1 or 1 vs 2 like dembele did we play good football but when the ball comes to the wings they just pass the ball and it kills the momentum we need attacking presence jaoo felix and yamine is the only attacking treat in the team who can beat defenders one vs one
Since Dembele left the club, our attack has been thrash and that's one thing a lot of people are ignoring. Don't get me wrong Dembele wasn't scoring 10,20,30 or assisting either but his pace, movements, tricks and flair made us open up low block teams and also made us very effective on the counter but now anytime we get a counter we go all over the place
What the team needs is just a prolific CDM. Also Lewa needs to ignite a fire within himself...We know He's 35 right now but *ffs* he's the bloody terminator..We don't ask him to score 50/60 goals a season..35 will work just fine as long as he's in a good rhythm. Perhaps the arrival of Vitor Roque will help him do so.
Lewandowski is clearly regressing as hes aging and gundogan simply doesnt fit barcas play style hes just on the team , he doesnt make the better or worse.
He has an amazing group of players. Other managers would have won 3-4 titles per season, if they had the talent Xavi has. But he is just not a good coach, as we see.
Lew is so bad at the moment that Sergio Roberto is out scoring him... Players go through these phases and it is normal but what pisses me off about Xavi is why not go for Marc Guiu and bench Lew... If Marca misses then atleast he would be learning to improve his finish while Lew can start his arabic lessons.
lmao all subjective nonsense how much did madrid spend? How much did barca spend? Xavi's barca is la liga champion, just in case you didn't know. He lost busquets, no replacement for him. He asked for a pivot DESPERATELY during summer, now signing. He had dejong and pedri injured for most of the season. And for some fucking reason, the changed the backline and kounde doesn't want to play as leftback. Even AFTER ALL OF THAT, if you check the stats, it's still FAR BETTER than koeman WITH MESSI! All of you guys are so unfair and toxic that I will just assume you're not barca fans. You just want to see barca fail because they kicked out messi ( great decision since they had NO MONEY and messi wanted MONEY )
Wishful thinking video. Smh. This UCL is 200% out of reach for Barça. That last comparison between NAP and PSG is subjectively bias and wishful. PSG is NOT a UCL team yet, they have never won the tournament even with MNM; hell, they barely made it out the group stages this season. There is Real threat in the UCL for your wishful dream of Barça getting the UCL that you chose not to mention in this video, PSG and RMA are not the ONLY teams a Barça team should be looking out for. But hey, to each it’s own I guess.
Are you hearing yourself ? Barca outplayed Real Madrid for 70 minutes? Real Madrid only needs a few minutes to turn games completely around. Focus on winning Champions League ? If you think drawing Napoli gives Barca a good shot, you’re sadly mistaken, bordering on being delusional. Leadership starts at the top. Coaches are expected to produce results. Just because Xavi was a legendarily great player doesn’t mean he’ll make a great coach. Any other coach in a similar situation, would have been sacked long ago.
I think Xavi s only problem is that he starts a little bit of wrong lineup in every match and need to stop trusting old players like roberto and lewa But during the transfer window Xavi needed dembele, we didn't have funds, so we sold him & he also betrayed xavi no doubts in that, but I'll criticize xavi for letting fati out Xavi needed one of Zubimendi or Brozovic, we didn't have funds, so we went for a cheaper option oriol romeu Xavi needed a LM or LW, who can control raphinia's crosses, but we got felix on loan, but he wanted carassco and Barca could not buy him due to lack of funds At the same situation with koeman, barca were at 9th position, and all the above three i.e rma, girona and atm, spent more than us, so they will get better results
Why in the hell just Premier League clubs deserve the chance to keep a coach eventhough they aren't working? Even Gasperini in Atalanta have a lot more of patience than any other professional in the world. Ferguson didn't win all the time although he was one of the greatest coaches of all time. We had Guardiola and Luis Enrique in the past and just in one bad year we sacked them off. Don't make the same mistake with Xavi this time, less if he demonstrated already that he can win trophies with the Barça style.
Woah, woah, woah. Be a little more cautious when making claims about the napoli game. Sure napoli isn’t having the greatest time in the serie a at this very moment but to be honest overall in the past couple seasons including this one napoli has assembled a crazy squad that has been doing pretty well. I’m not saying a Barca win is out of the question, but they really need to pull themselves together quickly if they want to win. They just aren’t playing at Napolis level of futbol.
Even the greatest managers have bad seasons though. It’s unfair to turn on them for it. Really they should be given time to address the issues and if they can’t then you can start questioning things, but like I’m a Liverpool fan and last season we did awfully, barely finished in 5th after challenging for a quadruple the year before, Klopp addressed issues in the squad over the transfer window and now we’re going for the title and have already won a trophy. I think this is important because not every season is going to be perfect, my manager is unanimously accepted to be a great manager and even he has bad seasons.
Barcelona never win the Champions League without La Liga are u dumb, Barca have never been a sporadic cup team, they're a team that strives off of momentum and consistency, this team won't win a single trophy this season
Honestly I don’t know if xavi is going to get the sack I mean he didn’t bottle the league as the manager like Ole gunner & Mikel Arteta, like if Barcelona get a new manager I still think they can’t win the champion league
Who wants to sack xavi? man barca fans are so irritating and desperate. Barca post messi era won league and supercup title under xavi as a manager, showing great football and winning by a big advantage on points. The club is under financial problems too, so thats another problem to analyze. Premiere league teams like liverpool and arsenal spend millions and have had time to stablish their proyects. It will take time to return...
the more and more problem started when gavi got injured, he might do foul but atleast use to steal ball away from opponent . in recent matches its fell like no one pressuring even a low division team in copa del rey applying pressure on opponent... due to lewendowski failure we dont see players scorinfg a goal..
Take players on ...carry the ball run with the ball interchange positions..adapt to changes in matches track back come on guess barca is bigger than this
imagine you are beeing sacked for winning the league last season and now beeing on a CL spot in the league. This whole vid is madness they are not the best this season but form is a fragile thing next year Girona won't be that good because their form will be worse that is normal and Barca will be "better" because even right now they are not that bad
Xavi was a brilliant player but Coach he is not so good he is to bias also we go for the same players we have no intensity or speed we play to slow and boring soccer has evolved and we still living in the pass we are going give Sergio Roberto a one year extension shows where we are we have become to Spanish while Madrid buying players from all over the world we need more black players in Barcelona with no fear and speed time to think out the box different game plan
Bro about that beating Madrid for 70mins sorry bro that’s abit delusional to think that’s ucl winning there are things needs to be done to actually win real knows it only one player in Barca knows it and isnt a starter
Bro about that beating Madrid for 70mins sorry bro that’s abit delusional to think that’s ucl winning there are things needs to be done to actually win real knows it only one player in Barca knows it and isnt a starter
lol, we don't have that mentality to even beat napoli. this team is just messed up, no tactical switch, no positional play, always repeating one idea again and again.
They lack in possession the players dont try they have shit mentality they feel not inspired its like there not interested in football we need new cdm and Rwg and they dont know how to counter attack
At the moment it seems 1 step forward and 2 steps back and not the other way around. And that’s bad. I really don’t care about the league title or even champions league, I’d love to see a consistent improvement. And that’s not happening and that’s frustrating. Let’s hope they get there … with or without Xavi
I just don’t think Eric Garcia is the profile that Barcelona need. Girona is not a good defensive side, they just put score everyone, so I don’t put too much weight on Garcia’s performances there even though he is showing his impressive ball playing abilities. As for Riad, I think the club has more confidence in la masia players like Cubarsi so I would be surprised if he comes back.
i think a change in Coaching staff might be the first step to give Xavi a different perspective Óscar is family i get it, but let Rafa Márquez sit next to them give him the opportunity to speak his opinion. he might not be as experienced but i might have a different point of view to help the team.
This is a great point, but I just don’t really see it happening. He could use the support of a more experienced coach, but Xavi may find his footing because he has shown brilliance at times, just not enough.
Patients how Xavi has 3 years with only garbage football . Koeman was 8 points behind the leader he got sack . XAVI 9 points and stays . If stays Barcelona won't qualify for next year UCL.
It always makes me laugh when I hear cules talk about replacing Xavi with Arteta or Rafa Marquez. Firstly, look how much time and money Arteta needed before he started cooking at Arsenal, he'd never get that at Barca and he'd have zero respect because you know that the first time he drops points to a Granada or Alaves, Mundo/Sport will start circulating a fails comp of Arteta in his time at la masia lol. Honestly I hope for his own that Arteta stays away from the job at Barca. As for Marquez, have y'all watched Barca Atletic play? They're worse than the first team and rely on individual brilliance way more than Xavis team do. For better or worse rn, Barca needs to be patient with Xavi and for Laporta to stop interfering with team selection because right now I am 100% convinced that the reason Xavi starts Felix and Lewandowski is because Laporta has demanded it, if you look at what Xavi has historically said that he wants from his number 9 and wingers, Lewandowski and Felix aren't it. Anyway to add just one more thing to the list of stuff that has shit mixed Xavi this season, he asked for Kimmich and got Romeu and he had to wait until 12 minutes past midnight on deadline day to find out his team for the season. Half of his current starting 11 played less than 90 minutes of football in preseason this goes a long way to explaining why sometimes these dudes play like they've just met for the first time.
Very nice to say the opposite. You talk like MU Go see more of their own club, stop watching the news just want to get views. If like you said , their players could have feel depress like MU and do everything on media to leave , specially the younger.
