Constantly winning whilst playing shite and winning with late goals comes back to bite you in the arse. However, as we have got through this first half of the league season with a great points total despite that, we now have time to fix it.

Struggling with teams like Celta/Valencia/Osasuna is not a good sign. But the good thing is we got 9 points from those games and got away with it so now we can improve and make sure we put any issues behind us.

Starting with removal of Busquets from the lineup.

We didn't play too bad tonight. Played some lovely football before the send off. Then it was a fight obviously, but I thought him delaying the subs was a smart move.

The fact that we continued fighting until the last minute is on Xavi. That?s a positive.
Just felt like saying something nice as I have been moaning about Xavi and Biscuits for the last week or so. :lol:

Barcelona have earned 37 points after 14 games in LaLiga, their joint-second highest tally at this stage in the competition after the 40 points earned in campaigns 2012/13 & 2013/14 (also 37 in 2010/11). [@OptaJose]

Considering the club is in a rebuilding phase, this is actually very positive and surprising regardless of whether we end up winning the league or not.

Sitting Ansu is ridiculous he's going to want to leave soon and I don't blame him. Ferran is trash. Alonso is trash you could have used Pique anyone is better than Alonso. Then there is Busi. Busi is washed up Pique is better than Busi and he flat out sucks...
How could you not start Gavi. Gavi Pedri and Ansu are the only ones that CARE. How do you play with 10 men and not substitute earlier? Xavi tried to get rid of FDJ. FDJ is the best player on the team after Lewa. Xavi is utterly clueless.
At one point Xavi has a FB and CM playing CBs (Alonso and FDJ). Then he brings on an uproven Chadri. What is he doing.
This team win in spite of Xavi's blunders all game long.
Xavi is an amateur who doesn't get it. At least he finally realized how good FDJ and Alba are SMH... moron tried to get rid of both of them.

PS Yes the ref cheated them today along with VAR... clear double yellow and other yellows for Osuana were not given. No yellows for their playacting and time wasting... meanwhile Lewa gets 2 yellows really (That was mandated by REAL MADRID and TEBAS and the REF is an RM supporter like the rest of La Liga). And that was not a goal there was a CLEAR FOUL but whatever RM La Liga cheats FCB every year year after year this never changes...

Means shit in a bankrupted la Liga

Except RM every other team is non exiting.

1 year rebuilding we have to wait 3 years to have a team that can go through group stages ?

He had ALL the money to make a great squad.

The only problem is Xavi and his decisions and non-existing tactics

Xavis Europe record is very concerning. He should have done better for sure.

Look at Klopp in Borussia Dortmund. In the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 seasons, he won the Bundesliga.

In the 2011/2012 season, he also won the Pokal final against Bayern by 5-2. In fact, he defeated Bayern five times in a row in those two seasons. And Bayern was a great team, who reached the UCL final in 2012, knocking out Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

But look at Dortmund's Europe record in those same two seasons in which they were so good domestically, winning Bundesliga twice, had a good team, and beat Bayern (one of the greatest teams in Europe) five times. In the 2010/2011 season, he was third place in the Europa League group stage, which had PSG and Sevilla, and fell out before the KOs. In the 2011/2012 season (remember, the same season in which Dortmund won the double, and beat Bayern three times, with Bayern reaching the UCL final), Dortmund was BOTTOM of their UCL group, which had Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiakos! An embarrassment!

Europe is different, and even Klopp took some time before learning how to play in Europe, even when he had good squads. Xavi still has to learn.
