    People won't wanna hear it but Raphinha been more productive than Vini recently.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    We have a perfect phrase in Spanish : Que los arboles no te impidan ver el bosque (Don't let the trees block your view of the forest). Meaning, don't let small details block your view of the bigger picture. This 7-0 is embarrassing but as long as the objectives are achieved in terms of both...

    Premier League 2022/2023

    It was an awful showing, no denying it, but 7-0 is maybe a bit too much for what we saw today (Liverpool has 2.7 xG). It is a terrible result, but in a league with that much attacking talent, it can happen. The important thing is what happens at the end of the season, if he ends with top4 and a...

    Premier League 2022/2023

    Mentioned this at the time. Seems like he always looks to big up the opponent in Europe and talk about how good they are. I want to be charitable and say it's him being humble or maybe trying to prevent complacency but I actually think he just does it because he expects to lose and wants to...

    Premier League 2022/2023

    United also beat City and Arsenal this season too. Don't think he is 'out of his depth in those games' but agree to disagree. Xavi has benefit of managing in a league where almost no team has the quality to compete against Barca or Madrid, even a shitty Barca like this that grinds out results...

    Premier League 2022/2023

    You're literally the one who presented them like that!!! Lol. The rest of us were telling you they're not as good as claimed and easily beatable, despite having a good manager.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    It does make your statement about how hard a task it was to beat them a bit laughable, yeah. United are good and have a great manager in ETH but as repeatedly mentioned their squad is not good. They are playing guys like AWB, Weghorst, Fred, McTominay who are mid table level players yet you...

    5-0. And we created almost nothing over 2 legs. Lol..

    Premier League 2022/2023

    Yeah. Kind of puts into perspective how hilarious it is that you claimed this team is some unbeatable super squad that we did well to even compete with.

    Xavi Hernández

    Anyway, we really need to win this league. I have a feeling that a season like this is probably not coming around again. Almost everything is going right and we've won so many of these games where could have easily dropped points. The general play has to improve for the future or it is only...

    Xavi Hernández

    Soft pen in our favour + clear pen not given against us. It genuinely baffles me how there continue to be people who proclaim the refs are all against Barca and trying to rig the league for Madrid.

    Liga Round 24: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 1-0

    Valencia have gone with a double right back...? Both Foulquier and Correia are playing. Apparently they tested this idea in training as well. I think it might be to go for broke on our left side because Balde gets very high up the pitch, but it could be less effective now we're playing 433...

    Xavi Hernández

    We have a 7 point lead and only a few months to go, so we can afford to lose 2 games and draw 1 without going behind. 7 points doesn't sound like that much but it really is hard to cut down. Should be able to get LL this season given Madrid have been less than consistent too.

    8 - Pedri

    The same Transfermarkt that tells you Fede Valverde is worth 100m. Lol. Its ok if you know nothing about a team and just want a base level indicator of strength but beyond surface level it's useless. Especially if you're a dedicated fan of a team you should no way be using it to judge the...

    Xavi Hernández

    Roberto already belonged in several elite squads. And belonged well at that. You can't really improve these type of guys for the bench because no great players come to be bench players. You are mostly just going to have B tier players for your bench, even getting players like Kessie or Raphinha...

    Xavi Hernández

    The bench is fine, it could do with a couple more additions but in general we should work with what we already have and get the best out of it. After all, a guy like Ferran was a rotation player at City despite how supposedly terrible it is to have him on the bench. If he's good enough to...

    Vitor Roque

    Well, last summer we got : Kounde (50m) Christensen (free) Kessie (free) 2 world-class starters and one good squad player for 50m combined. 40m is still a lot of money. Just because EPL teams are dumb doesn't change the fact you can still get quality for that. Just need to look a bit harder...

    Copa: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-4

    You can bet Xavi will go with a similar defensive idea even if we have our players back. Madrid looked like had run out of ideas and clueless on how to create anything whilst gave up plenty on the counter - imagine Dembele and Pedri were there to counter. Could've scored 2 or 3.
