    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Not today, but usually he finds goals against bottom half teams. It's just more noticeable when he doesn't do it because he ghosts against big teams every single time..

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Needs service to score and a lot of it. Other than that, doesn't generate play at all, hold up the ball, create much, just a poacher. Similar to old CR, but CR had more even in old age. However, his bumcrushing abilities are still likely going to lead us to a LaLiga win, so he is being very...

    Xavi Hernández

    He will likely be sacked if he loses LaLiga. Trust the process, even if Laporta wanted to, isn't possible at the moment with the terrible financial situation and we need as much revenue as possible. He won't keep going with Xavi after being out of Europe by February and throwing LaLiga as...

    Not sure about that. Madrid have always historically been poor in the league. Only way they crawl back into it is if we lose at Camp Nou against them.

    Xavi Hernández

    He's not trying to, lol. His tactic is far more defensive than any Barca DNA philosophy ever is. He prefers to manage games and grind out results. He is much closer to Allegri than Cruyff.

    Xavi Hernández

    True. Have seen so many games like this where we have played awfully and converted the one good chance we had, then grinded out the result. Girona, Celta, Getafe, Villarreal, Mallorca... How many points were won just like that? Playing shitty football and relying on opponents incompetence...

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi's old 5 at the back nemesis strikes again. 2nd half was awful to watch. Just cross after cross after cross after cross. How many in the end, 50?

    Xavi Hernández

    Have you seen how Bayern are doing in Bundesliga? They don't even have a lead anymore. They've dropped points 9 times in 21 games, in that so-called farmer's league. I'm not seriously convinced they are so many levels above that we lose 5-0 to them over 2 games. Even if they have a better...

    Xavi Hernández

    They also have Stoke reject Choupo-Moting up front... There is no such thing as a perfect team, you can find holes in any team and injuries and suspensions happen to everyone. Having 2 or 3 starters out is pretty common and happens to every team in large parts of the season. Guys like...

    Xavi Hernández

    Bayern we didn't have any players out 1st game and 2nd game they had half their team out. Still lost 2-0 and 3-0, though 2nd game was meaningless so doesn't matter if it was affected by absences either way. Inter we had first choice CBs out but they also missed 2 of their best players, Brozovic...

    Xavi Hernández

    A lot of what you put is right honestly other than this repeated BS about how the teams in Europe just have better squads. They really don't. Inter, United, Frankfurt etc don't have better squads and could even say not that close either. Even if they did (they don't), is it impossible to ever...

    Pablo Torre

    Is he that bad that he can't even get a few minutes when we have Kessie and Roberto starting in midfield? Not even a few against teams like Cadiz? I'm really starting to wonder what is the case here because by all accounts Xavi is the one who spoke to him and convinced him to join, yet seems to...

    11 - Raphinha

    Coutinho barely even been worth 20m for Aston Villa if we're honest. Doubt any team even pays that at the moment for him and his wages other than Middle East teams. 140m for him is one of the worst transfers of all time, obviously. Transfer terrorism by Barto.

    Xavi Hernández

    So if their best players are bums how did we lose to them? Just admit Xavi isn't so good in Europe. Credit for great job he is doing in the league even if a little lucky but have to equally criticise his European record.

    Xavi Hernández

    United missed Eriksen, Antony, Lisandro, Martial in first leg who are all key players for ETH and starters when fit. We missed Dembele. Didn't hear ETH crying about injuries then and they probably deserved to win at Camp Nou. Fact is injuries and suspensions are something every team in the...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Paid off but gave that soft penalty in our favour when could've easily let the play continue. These ref excuses are so boring.

    EL: Manchester United - FC Barcelona (4-3)

    We have definitely been lucky with opponents missing out chances and grinding out wins. 8 points is maybe too much for what we've shown as we could easily have dropped many more points. But I feel the grinding out wins is by design, Xavi has recognised (or I'd like to think) that the quality of...

    EL: Manchester United - FC Barcelona (4-3)

    I don't think he's terrible. He's average or above average - great in league terrible in Europe. We shouldn't sack him without an A tier manager stepping in for him, but it's a shame we didn't wait for ETH.

    Xavi Hernández

    To be honest, players like Kessie and Raphinha for backups are probably the best you can possibly find. If you're expecting better than them it probably won't come because top class players don't arrive to be backups. A team like United has backups such as Weghorst, McTominay, Garnacho. There...
