Fact of the game is he played RW for like 5-10 mins, he was surrounded by 2-3 Inter players with no help, got the ball out, played a key pass in space, and in those 5 mins we had by far the biggest chance of the game.

Rest is noise. Guy is in his first season, and instead of giving him a run of 4-5 games in his natural position, we're trying our best to block his ascension.

Terrible management. We're using our wingers to hide the mediocrity of our midfielders and the limitations of Xavi. And as if that is not bad enough, we're using our best winger in all sorts of stupid positions.

Xavi is panicking a bit. Pressure is on and he seems phased about it. Time to wake up fast and cut the shit.

Dembele - Lewa - Raphinha. Stop screwing around and start this formation in all next 5 games if you know what's good for you.

The way Xavi is using him makes me question his future at the club. You can't be this inflexible and stubborn if you want to improve your tactical game.

Its clear to everyone Serghei stop trying to act like its not obvious. You have different energy for both, even during the match chat.
Dembele provided a ball to lewy early on which was scuffed, they were both shit due to the system and being double and triple marked without assistance.

I'm not disputing xavi's set up was extremely poor, in fact I've outlined its the main issue on why the entire fucking team performed poorly.
Your take on player performances is very subjective.

It's not as simple as that, because Dembele is also better on RW and lost on LW.
But you have a subjective love for Raphinia and antipathy twds Dembele, so you misinterpret the issue.

The problem is tactical is both the fact that both wingers are RWs AND the fact that Xavi has his LW play in the half-space and not on the flank.
The latter, especially, is deadly: we play with 1 man down when either of them is on the half-space

It's annoying that we played badly, but the clear decisions not given is even worse with VAR and all cause we're now in a really bad position. Plus the news now is that the VAR official yesterday was the same guy that didn't call the penalty against Dembele in Munich, there's supposed to be a way to punish clear wrong referee decisions.

Dembele played like shit on RW and is at the club for around 5 years. The man is clearly not cut out for the top level.

Dembele on RW had the record for most assists since January.
Your subjective lenses are too big to let you see what's going on on the pitch

Dembele is a player of deceit. He is, shows something, but he can not give anything. Big mistake Xavi believes in him. Any striker is better than him, because any striker does his job, scores goals. But not Dembele. Dembele shows potential . 6 years.

lol, so why aren't we seeing the other players scoring? You can use Ferran, if you trust in him

He runs like idiot, right side of Celta always had player more.

He can't be starter, De Jong/Kessie must play big games
