It was Font that was backing Xavi. While I was not on board bringing Xavi, I am not necessarily skeptical of Font due to that, I mean sure maybe he backed the wrong guy(IMO) but that's just one decision. But if his other decisions, plans etc are good and he has his heart in the right place I'd...

Yeah I haven't been following him closely post elections tbh, not sure about you, but I wasn't particularly convinced by him even earlier when he was a front runner. I've been at a couple of events of his at a couple of different locations - his pitch seemed centered around - 1) he's a...

Yes, institutional stability is probably our biggest issue. I wouldn't even call it stability - I'd say we need a complete overhaul right from the top. We are never going to be a stable and successful club in the long run with guys like Laporta (not to mention rosell and barto) running things...

'It's not mentality.'... Yeah, no, it's been proven once again.

I don't disagree about the quality bit or that our team is mediocre at best. Having said that, how many teams have we seen teams make it REALLY difficult for the opposition after going down to ten men? The likes of sporting gijon, getafe, etc.. Intern Milan in CL... Once you have a brace...

Another bottle job and European humiliation complete. It feels like no matter what the situation is, we just cannot escape a CL humiliation. We are TWO goals up, playing at home against a shaky midfield and defense. How much more of an advantage does this team need to take it home? If you...

Much stronger lineup from PSG this leg. Really nervous about the game. Good buzz about the city. Let's go!

Good stuff! Really wanted to go but in a tight financial position atm. Should be the best atmosphere at montjuic this season!

Really nervousabour the game. Hakimi is definitely a huge boost for them. If we somehow manage to hold on with 0-0 until half time, we can get Pedri on and he would be able to exploit the space left behind with some good through balls I reckon.

This is the big overarching problem that we've always had. With the advantages that are intrinsic to this club, the president and co could build something great that doesn't have us with these huge ups and downs. The problem is that culturally, we just don't have that cut throat approach to how...

I'm glad he isn't changing his mind. I don't think he was the long term answer for us, and the fact that he's hopefully leaving with a bit of positive momentum, that's good for everyone. I just hope Laporta has been scouting in the background and not relying on xavi changing his mind + Marquez...

To he a useful squad player you have to either be always fit and an average player or a good to very good player when available but not always available. You can't be both injury prone and mediocre. That's just a waste of space in the squad.

Yeah I would go with a complete second string 11. Highly doubt Xavi does that - I think FdJ, Cancelo and Lewa will start again. I get that a loss wouldn't be great for morale and sort of puts a dampener ahead of PSG, but we really should have enough with the second string team to beat Cadiz.

Good first half, we defender really well. We screwed up golden chances to get 2-0 up, but Lamine is young. Cancelo is sometimes truly a 0 IQ player. Let's keep this up and worst case we take a draw back, accounting for at least 1 counter goal from Mbappe.

Araujo, FdJ and Lamine (and Sergi Roberto) on yellow cards...Damn. There's no way all of them make it without a yellow, seems impossible given the pace we are playing against.

Really excited for a barca game after a very long time to be honest. Quite nervous we are going to get thumped. A draw here would be a great result. A one goal defeat is acceptable. Anything more and I think we're 100% out, we are terrible at Montjuic. @Horatio you always mention pizza before a...

Even if Xavi doesn't go for a high line strategy per se, I feel like our default line in games is already too high. We need to be WAY deeper against PSG, for obvious reasons. This is one of those games I would happily take us playing boring, dry, side to side football. With Mbappe and Dembele up...

That is the kind of goal you expect roque to score. A fairly straightforward strikers goal. He hasn't shown much since arriving tbh, not even in terms of just potential. But let's give him some time and hope he gets better.

The number of chances we need to score a goal... Shocking finishing and decision making.

Lewandowski spending most of the half on the ground once again.
