Xavi Hernández

[Horatio]

Is this guy lucky vs Atletico or finally got it right? Baffles me.

Simeone got bamboozled

 

[Birdy]

You still think FDJ is shite?

I never said that you truth-distorter
I said he can't play lone pivot or interior. And that was the fact, whenever he played either position he was below par.
Since Jan 22, we play double pivot, and since then, he has always been good, something I never denied

 

[Birdy]

No one here is calling him Pep.

We're just praising him after a nice coaching job vs an elite manager like Simeone

Simeone might be elite, but he has a bad history against Barca in LL at least.
He never gets results not matter who is the coach.
Always lost against Xavi, against Valverde, against Lucho, against Tito, etc

The only two times when Simeone hurt us in games that mattered were the two CL eliminations

Haha pipe down.

You went on at length about how over rated he was etc,

Clueless as ever.

He was best mid before went double pivot but dont let truth get in the way.

No, you are lying again.

My points are always in context. And all that I was writing when was playing shitty as an interior.
Since Jan. 22, I haven't written a bad word on De Jong

horrible substitution. his decisions got the teams game down.

Keep at it.

Not like he had much options. Squad is super thin, especially with Gavi out.

We needed fresh legs and had our fair bit of chances to finish the game off.

 

[JamDav1982]

He is going to need to get creative to protect those legs in middle of park.

 

[jamrock]

Way more fermin, oriol will play in the lesser Games.

Big game XI he played today, was pretty much exactly the one I said a few months ago, we have to protect them since we have no gavi.

That 10 plus blade, gavi, and Martinez, is pretty much our core 13, we can't afford to lose anyone else.

Hopefully roque adds something and we can sign a midfielder to add to the racks.

I'm not down on Roberto as some here. But he's never fit, would be a great body to have in midfield for the rest of the season.

 

[Temptation]

Brilliant management today. 👏


Also, thank you for showing immense faith in RL9 mister!

Tbf he was very good, but not at DMC. Gundo there and the Golden Retriever to roam free. Otherwise he is wasted.

 

[JamDav1982]

There wasnt a clear DM really they took turns and for most part both sat deeper.

It was like an old school Barca 4231 where both full backs got forward and wide players came narrower on ball.

We should be fine until January.

Week of rest before the Girona game then can rotate a lot against Antwerp before visiting Mestalla. And probably some rotations for last game vs Almeria at home if needed. Then two weeks off over Christmas/New Year.
