The red cost us the game. We deserved to go through. After going up 1-0 we should have been more cautious instead of playing such a high line against that front three. Thats what led to the first goal. Poor judgement from Araujo aswell.

Fun fact. He has more goals than Dembele this season. :p I think we need to be patient with him. He's come in the middle of the season and deserves at least a full pre season with the squad before we write him off.

Doing his CV a world of good atm. The red was waaay too harsh, not sure what he said to warrant it.

Huge W. Feels like we're peaking at the right time.

Strong team. Cancelo out is a huge blow. Hope Fort has a good game.

Would keep him unless the offer is insane. We don't have anyone else with his profile. He is easily the most athletic defender we have and compliments everyone else that he's paired with.

There seems to be no clear patterns of play in attacking. The players are left to figure things out on their own.

Feels like the ref is allowing Bilbao to be very physical with us.

We looked gassed in the final 10-15 minutes. They had us pegged back and we couldn't even come out our own half for a pretty long spell. Hopefully we can fix this in time for 2ng leg and beyond.

Pedri is neat and tidy and good at circulating the ball but Fermin just seems more aggressive in the final third, making runs into the box and looks to shoot from outside. Think he will compliment Gundo and Fenkie well. He just seems to have a bit of edge to his game in the attacking third.

Seems like he's ditched the 433 and gone back to the box midfield.

Club should appeal the second yellow if possible, way too harsh for a sending off. Pretty ok game otherwise, Alaves were horrible at finishing. Not sure what was the point in playing Christensen at DM unless for extra height at set pieces. Also why play all three of Frenkie, Gundo and Pedri who...

Feels like his camp played us and used our interest to get a better deal elsewhere. Scummy move.

Osasuna is horrible. We should win this comfortably.

This is new territory for Xavi. For most of his playing career he was idolized. Now instead he is being scrutinized and not in a way he is accustomed to and not in a way that he can handle.

How will he motivate the players for the remainder of the term when he himself has already 'quit' and acknowledged this season as a failure? He apparently broke down in front the team before training today. Do they even respect him now going forward? What a mess. What's to say that we won't...

Time to get rid of him. Team needs a fresh start. It's one thing to finish trophyless but missing out on top 4 will be a disaster.

He won't be sacked even though he should be. Laporta is deluded and probably thinks Xavi is the 2nd coming of Pep. Time to let go of this Barca DNA nonsense. Sentimentality is ruining this club.

He seems out of ideas. The team looks disjointed and frustrated. We're not that far from dropping down to 5th in which case he's gone. Nothing would scare Laporta more than missing out on CL revenue next season. When you look at the table Bilbao are closer to us than we are to Girona and Madrid...

Eric's case is interesting but it shows what happens when you have a coach that knows exactly what he is doing and how he wants his team to play tactically. Its clear we have the better individual players but Michel knows how to setup to get the best out of the players he has to work with...
