    Xavi Hernández

    Last season with Xavi we were playing much better and more entertaining football than this. I remember 3-0 vs Valencia, 4-0 vs Bilbao, 4-0 vs Madrid, 4-0 vs Osasuna etc. We conceded more but scored way way more and were taking a lot more risks. Now this season we seem to have sacrificed quality...

    Xavi Hernández

    It could be better if we had a dedicated director to make transfers instead of Xavi. Ferran and Raphinha look totally out of place in this team, but he hand picked them and spent 120m on them. Maybe if we spent that on profiles that fit the team our team wouldn't look so talentless. They were...

    Xavi Hernández

    Well, it is nothing new. That is how most of the games have been to watch this year except with 1-0 instead of 0-0. We play a very English style of football, we genuinely wouldn't look out of place in the EPL. It is very intensity and physicality based and our greatest strength is our...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Have we actually dropped points without him in the team? I don't think so. I am seriously worried about this signing going forward. Looks finished and like he's lost a yard or several of pace and quick thinking.. He also isn't near as good as he used to be for Poland either. Their fans...

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Yep. It also says something that the winners of the last 3 LaLigas (Atletico, Madrid, Barca) had by far the best keeper in the league that season for their wins each time (Oblak, Courtois, Stegen). Having the best defense seems to win you the league as opposed to the best attack. Attackers in...

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    We really have to be seeing more than this in terms of quality of football at this point. Raphinia and Lewandowski maybe are not the best in the world but they can look better than this that's for sure.

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Our defense is good for LaLiga. We have a lot of fast and strong players and we press aggressively so average Liga attackers find it hard to retain the ball in the final third. Its clear to see why we have issues against talented attackers in Europe though who can deal with that type of thing...

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Commentator just said this is Girona's first clean sheet away from home in the entire season.

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Reality is we have been watching this for most of this season. The only difference would be we scored a goal and made it 1-0.

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Ferran is actually pretty fast. Seems to be an idea he is slow because he can't dribble past players. They are two different but linked skills. Think he clocks like 33/34kmh at top speed which is fast enough for any winger..

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Ferran can be a good winger. His skills are fine, he's fast, decent frame, just has some serious mental blocks he has to get over. Stuck in his own head.

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    Its at the point where you could give any team except Madrid in LaLiga an open goal against us and I would bet on them to miss.

    La Liga Round 28: FC Barcrelona - Girona 0-0

    League is already won at this point so might as well go super attacking, play the kids and tell the team to have a bit of fun/try out new things. No point continuing to grind out 1-0s like this.

    Xavi Hernández

    Even if he doesn't, it doesn't mean a failure. We have already won this one and who knows maybe we do well in Europe next year and don't win the league even if it is unlikely. The only thing I want to see first is some better football.

    Xavi Hernández

    I feel the same way because the football isn't good. So many of these games are coming down to fine margins, so many... Keeping 1-0s against Getafes and Gironas can't work forever even if they suck at attacking. We need to see a greater development of the football next season if we want to...

    Xavi Hernández

    To an extent its a club culture thing as well... over the last two decade or so I think we've won way more Ligas than Madrid right? We tend to do much better domestically and of course, as we know, much worse in Europe. Not taking anything away about winning the league obv but I think it plays...

    Nah. They managed to scrape out a point whilst being absolutely dominated.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    That performance by Arsenal can easily be a 5-2 or 6-2 loss. The fact they even managed to get a point on those numbers is remarkable. Total domination by Liverpool.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    Liverpool 5.05 xG - 1.41 Arsenal. That is absolutely wild. An average game with those numbers ends up 6 or 7-0 Liverpool.
