Xavi hasn't did it for me the past 2 seasons, great passer of the ball but really is missing some cutting edge in his game since 2010/11 and even then he was declining but he was such a great midfielder you didn't notice it much, now you are.
An early 2 goals would really have the Camp Nou buzzing, and the players would really feel we could pull it off, however we will have to believe right from the start too if we are to manage this, even then it's very difficult.
I've been thinking that Barcelona need to show balls to get rid of some players and reshape the squad a bit, and looks like they are taking the initiative.
Apparently we are going to make 4 or 5 signings, and we will be getting rid of some players as well, I hope and think Thiago will be one of our stand out performers next season and hopefully the signings we make are good ones to enable us to compete with Bayern too.
Played good at times offensively, defensively was utter garbage, I chuckled at the end at what he did while knowing that it was extremely naive of him, pretty sure he knew at that point we were down and out however.
Nice speed Croqueta there and a nice finish, although keeper should have done better. Great talent, and is definitely developing into a great player, hope he gets the nod against Levante.
He really is improving and doesn't seem afraid any more, and it's really showing with his performances, he is such a hard worker and his hesitance was the only thing that was letting him down. 3rd best player behind Tello and Thiago.
Couple of great finishes and some excellent runs, we need a speedster like this in the team to really take advantage of the passers we have in this team, Thiago kept finding him with ease.
Had more freedom to run up and lead attacks while Xavi did his normal role, don't recall him missing a pass tonight, a goal and 2 assists and came close to setting up some more too.
