    Xavi Hernández

    We differ on how much blame Xavi deserves for the 2 "failed" forward signings. A considerable degree of culpability has to be on the board and sporting department because its their job to find the right players that fit the team. If Xavi is misusing those players, then he would've gotten the...

    Xavi Hernández

    Ferran Torres isn't worth the money. He sucks and even if he was a Xavi picked player, the board deserves criticism for greenlighting that deal and not having their own scouting vet the player. A quality wide player at Barca was needed. Fati, Depay, and Torres aren't that guy. Dembele- injury...

    Xavi Hernández

    I agree on that. Xavi needs to do better and good chance he gets replaced in the summer if he struggles in Europa and doesn't win the league.

    Xavi Hernández

    Its poor planning, but that poor planning isn't all Xavi's fault. The previous board mostly and the current board are responsible for squad planning. All holes cannot be covered this quickly. And wide players were needed at Barca and the money thrown at Raphinha was market value. Barca needed...

    Xavi Hernández

    Not 100 % Xavis' fault, but he should take considerable blame for the CL exit. I just don't think it was a bad enough performance that it warrants an immediate dismissal as manager. The Bayern games were both expected Ls- though the performance in the 2nd game was less than stellar. Xavi also...

    Xavi Hernández

    How is poor planning, as you say, only Xavi's fault? He isn't a money printer that can procure funds for top class fullbacks. Barca were going to have to spend to bring in a few great players and then penny-pinch in certain areas. Better to spend big on some top players and pennypinch on others...

    Xavi Hernández

    The squad depth issue is primarily due to multiple failed transfers from the Barto era. The money was pretty well spent this summer before the season began. A majority of fans were happy with bringing in winger like Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Kounde. Plus Christensen and Kessie on free...

    Xavi Hernández

    Other coaches, besides Koeman which was down to board politics, were not trashed earlier for results. Setien and Martino lost the locker rooms which is why there were let go or mutually decided to resign. Getting booted out of the group stage is something that Xavi has some blame in like the...

    Xavi Hernández

    Folks are being very aggressive in bringing out the pitchforks against Xavi already. Still half a season left to see how he does in the rest of the league campaign and Europa. Barca have a good enough starting XI when healthy, minus RB and occasionally DM, but lacking in quality depth and that...

    Camp Nou

    I thought all the major clubs use pitches that are 105x68 m. Wonder if it something with how the stands are constructed that makes the pitch look bigger.

    CL Round 6: Viktoria Plzen - FC Barcelona 2-4

    Need a Barca victory here. 2.8 Million Euros in prize money for a CL group stage win. Need the money.

    La Liga 2022/23

    Not 100% sure if this is accurate, but a quick glance at Wikipedia shows that would be the 1975-1976 season which RM won but lost both Clasicos.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Neymar was playing well, but the whole reason he moved to PSG was to be the man on his own club and lead a team to Champions League victory. He failed to do that and was criticized for it (though, there was certainly some bitterness from Barca fans). Messi has very little to prove in his career.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    None of the trash that you posted disproves my post about this being the best age 35 season by a player in the history of the sport. Find me a better season.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Agreed. Even with a completely healthy squad, the DM and RB are clear weaknesses in the team. Would've liked to see how Xavi and the team performed if those 2 issues were patched up.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    An amazing season so far. No one in the history of this sport has had a better performance in their age 35 season.

    Xavi Hernández

    Struggling to score goals outside of Lewandowski. The other 2 other big money forward signing by this new board haven't been lighting up the scoresheet.
