Serghei has tried too hard to keep Xavi afloat. man you have become to Xavi what Birdy is to Dembele. That last season voodoo spell has worked on you. Snap out of it.

not sure about this one. Judging by last game, 4th-3rd division is our current level. we will need a miracle to win over a la liga side.

I see this discussion is derailed to financial issues. Are you guys high? We played a 4th division mid-table team. We should be able to field Barcelona B team and win this easily. Instead our first team starters get dominated and almost draw. At the end I was wishing for a draw. This is abysmal...

I second this. Pep's Barca reached the top. keeping that is much harder, almost impossible. Xavi's barca show clear signs of decay without achieving much. the league was a surprise surely but we can all agree we were lucky af too.

this all sound like excuses. Joao isn't playing in dembele's place. he plays for ferran. could be argued they are equal so we have more depth there. Romeu is shit. Busi could not help in big games and was also a liability, but not even in his 50s will he be as bad as romeu. I give you that. we...

we were one of the top teams at the time. but, we were surely not better than Liverpool. The 3-0 was absolutely due to messi and suarez. all ev and the team needed to do is play at their best and don't conced 4 goals in the return leg. way lesser teams with way lesser players did it against a...

Voted iniesta but could have voted xavi too. no point in the comparison. generally this concept of who is better is pointless. everyone is unique and have their own traits. these two have also the same achievements, played in the same teams and were a duo, so, why even compare them. Both were...

Screw all professional football players and coaches that hail WC as the toughest competition to win. Ignore the fact Messi managed to reach two finals for said competition and win one as an mvp of the tournament at 35 yo. ignore the fact that this WC was in the middle of the season with players...

barca service for crosses is bad. lewa also missed plenty of open and easy headers from perfect crosses. on top of that, if we wanted a player that can only score from headers when served on a platter we could have kept lukk. lewa had been our worst forward and we have no great player playing...

struggling to watch current barca is normal.

Setien literally was a shepard before joining barca. EV can't land a big club after barca. Lucho is clearly better. A CL winner. Ev is a good coach but nothing more. Better than Xavi surely.

if he wad in another club we would kill to get pedri. players don't just get worse here, we just scrutinise 1000% more. Heck, certain posters believed Messi was our problem in 2019, so what else is there to be said. Pedri is just fine, just stop getting injured.

Bad periods do happen, especially after golden periods the margin seems even larger. just a decade ago we had astonishing teams and talent. things will turn around

because its hardly the case a manager improves after the team gors downhill. Once downhill that road you need a change. not talking about periods of inconsistency or not in form, but a gradual, steady decline as we are now. A regression that cannot be attributed to players since we improved in...

it's a simple question you need to ask yourself. Does xavi (after 3 years) look like the manager that will get us to (or any team) playing beautiful coherent football, competing for a CL title, be a top 5 team in the world again? Does he show any potential at all towards that goal? that would be...

WOW.. such troll. very funny. lewa has been shit this season.

hope we won't get stuck with him fir another 4 years or something.

it means that apart from the obvious football talent other factors do exist. When Messi emerged we sold Ronaldinho because he was a terrible influence. Xavi, iniesta, Puyol were great influence. As was messi for neymar.

ketchup can work on pasta in certain circumstances...

funny thing.. our best player last match was Sergi Roberto, aka the worst of the golden generation only used as a stop gap rotation option for 15 years. Also, heavily impacted by recurring injuries and pretty old. And he clearly has a better football iq than 80% of our current crop of players...
