Team look an absolute disorganised mess again with players second guessing what role being asked to play.

Relying on having the vastly better individual players to try and win but even they all look low on confidence.

No wonder crowds dont turn up to watch this shite.

Look like they are not even coached and 11 names picked and told to get on with it.

There is not an inch of coaching being shown in these Barca sides.

Im starting to think that our success under Xavi was a result of being feared and psychological factors rather than actually being a good team.
We never really were convincing at any point. It seems like now teams aren't scared anymore and want to play their game against us we're crumbling.

We can maintain control when we're given it but we can never earn it. If a team is up for it against us we look lost.

I think it is very obvious that Gavi is actually the key midfielder to Barca. No I am not joking. These other midfielders are out there sleepwalking. Or worse like Pedri cannot be counted on.

Also Lewa is useless I promise you Marc Guiu scores that goal 1v1.

Araujo is quickly going from best defender on the team to Maguire.

Joao Felix only scores vs Porto/Atleti useless otherwise

Inaki Pena blows

Raphinha scores a tap in so still useless

No Ferran? Xavi special

Bolded started happening in Europe around 2016.

Now it's come over to LL in 2023.

If a team is up for the fight, Barca fold. It's become an institutional rot, similar to United's (just not as bad).

These crowds going to cost more money the club cant afford to lose.

Already lost out on a ton of European money under Xavi and his failings have contributed to Barca missing out more tens of millions in Club World Cup.

All this while pulling levers that board said were essential to maintain being competitve and gather these type of funds.

Even if sack him this season... more money wasted on him and his teams new contracts.

Laporta has no plan at all and winging it and mortgaging future of club on levers and instant success that hasnt arrived.
