Shocking stats

Xavi: "Of the 3 matches I have managed so far, this is the one where we least deserved the win. But that's how football is."

I agree.

He knows his onions. Like someone rightly said beforehand.... "Football can be really crazy"

Xaviball

Villareal is a Champions league team. Perhaps, I shouldn't be too harsh on us.

We're building. You need these lucks to keep going. Koeman's defeatist attitude drove all the luck away from the team.

Saw this and I couldn't but laff..

Yet distasteful. Vital human organs are sacrosanct. You've got to draw the line.

I watched Xavi post match comments with Jamie Easton. He spoke quite fluently in English. I was kinda proud.

Xavi was poor tactically last night

Hope to see better in the next game

3 points in the bag,
that's the only thing am happy about.

This team needs time, let's not slander Xavi on a day that results don't go well.

We have a lot of talents right now, and am sure 3 or 4 years from now, we shall dominate again.

Certainly. The team needs time.

How was he poor tactically Oga?

Xavi brought in a sub that won us a PK that was converted.

Xavi achieved our 1st back to back win in La liga this season.

Xavi is here to fix the error caused by Koeman, Sieten and Valverde.

Xavi doesn't owe you a "better" next game.

Even the great Guardiola didn't win his 1st 2 games as Barcelona coach.

So cut Xavi some slack.

FirstbornWds:



Personally, I still criticize after he lose that ball way Danjuma later no score. He did well but I won't be carried away yet. Make he continue that run of form for us abeg

Lol.
Knowing myself, I still won't be bought over by his recent performance. If he like make him score 100 goals na observe I go still dey look am.
That £145mn still dey pain me up till today.

Anybody

I'll not deny... I like that comment sef... That boy na real mad man.

I swear. Na ment.

I was slightly surprised when I heard him speak English during the days leading to his employment in one video. I was doubtful if it was him but then again it was his voice.

I didn't give much thought to it sha, cos I know Spanish people are well versed in English. I might say they're are the ones more fluent in English amongst non native speakers in Europe.

Dunno why. I've seen and heard enough Spaniards speak especially during that their agitation for independence that year. Also our female hosts at Barca YouTube channel/TV speak English so fluently you'd think they're one. So no surprises there.

I nearly slapped one of my weyrey Barca fan. Dude was saying Xavi wasn't a good coach cos of him leaving Eric Garcia in the pitch. Baba dey shout why him no use Dest. Person wey just dey recover from injury, besides this isn't must win match like UCL that we had to force Dembouz in.

Dude didn't know there's fewer options.

I think 90% of all the Barcelona squad during the time of Enrique can speak English.

Lionel Messi's children went to an English school in Barcelona, he has always say times without number that he is taking an English class and that was when the papers now thinks he was coming to England.

There are videos of his wife and children on Instagram singing English songs, infact most of the songs his wife and children sings on Instagram are in English.

Just few days ago, he was seen with his children watching harry Porter and on the screen you could tell it was English.

Started Eric at RB when he could have okayed araujo or dest.
Brought in a struggling RB mingueza to play LB, like WTF
Basically brought in Dembele to play RB.

We were very lucky to escape with a win

Villareal also had 2 penalties claim declined

Mehn the kind of ref decisions that has been favouring barka ever since Xavi came is making this league look like a complete joke.

From dubious penalties being given to barka, to bending offside rules to favor barka and give them a goal, to denying clear penalties from their opponents.

I can see what aspect Xavi is similar to pep……cheating with ref

How in the name of gentle Jesus did the ref not award the penalty...

This is really sad...we are going back to the days of UNICEF

Mingueza came in to support Alba cos Xavi doesn't want him injured cos we need him to be fit for other matches, especially against Bayern. Man knows his onions and just decided to want to try out Mingueza. Balde has been relegated to the junior team and wasn't brought with the team and Dest is still not matched fit but should be ready for Bayern.


And Dembele... Bro, would you have trusted an overlapping and out-of-position Garcia to combat the ever-pacy Villareal wingers? The pressure was on Araujo and it was only a matter of time before he got injured cos of covering Eric's defensive error.


Cut Xavi some slack abeg!!!

How some peeps dey analyze match sef funny.

Balde was called back by Barca B cos they gave an important match and they lost the last match. Losing Abde and Akhomach with the left back was a blow for them. The plunder of Nico and Gavi ain't made it easy.

How Araujo no get injury for all those runs he was doing Covering Eric time and time again and also helping out Pique Occasionally.

Your tears go full basket

Upon your ojoro last season you could not still win Laliga

Clown

Madridpigs crying about ref will pretend not to see that Danny Parejo tackle on Busquets that deserves a red card .

Mingueza came in to support Alba indeed

Did you watch the match

Because if you had , you won't say the bolded about this match, Xavi was outsmarted tactically by Emery

He would you put the lowest defender in our rank at right back when he has Araujo on the pitch

Mingueza also came in for an injured Alba to play lb a position he hasn't played in his career, when Xavi could have sub in lenglet to play a back 3

Note this is not a slight at Xavi ,he is a person I respected as a legend of Barca, but tactically last match he was poor.
