Omo we don waste money ontop ferran Torres and raphinha.

Lahoz for don give raphinha red card, Lahoz wey like respect with him life.
Good win though, super cup next.
I don Dey fear for Ansu now, he looks lost.

OhBritannia:
True Sha perhaps xavi needs to be putting him like in 80 minutes or from 75 minutes in the second half, and little by little he might start regaining his confidence.

Xavi is not an Elite Coach, he doesn't know how to manage players and bring the best out of them.

It's obvious that Dembele has a problem with shooting, his shooting lack force and accuracy, the same goes for Raphinha, gavi, pedri even ferran Torres.
Now the question is what's the coach doing about it?

What sorts of training does xavi gives to these players?

Any good coach will help his forwards and midfielders to be brutal when it comes to bullets and xavi has failed In this aspect.


It's one thing to have talent, it's another thing to have a good coach that will help your talent, this is why i say xavi is the problem.
He is making the players lose value in the sight of fans and in transfer market.

Have you forgotten the powerful bullet of iniesta?
The powerful bullet of Rakitic.
The powerful bullet of Suarez.
The powerful bullet of Messi.
The powerful bullet of Neymar.
What of people like Alexi Sanchez, griezman and co?

See bro!! Xavi is the problem here, what these team needs are forwards and midfielders that can take bullets outside box 18.

pedri, gavi can't even take shot, their legs are too weak, same goes for Dembele and Raphinha and fati.
Only lewadoski and Demphay can take shots.

This is where xavi is lacking, he isn't an elite coach. Football has passed Tika taka.

At a point your players have to take dangerous shots when tikataka don't work.

Xavi is lacking on three things.

1) 90% of his players have weak shots which means his trainings are not improving the players.

2)He has no counter attack tactic.
Your team needs to be good at counter attack, fast and good, take a look at the Argentine team especially their 2nd and 3rd goal against France, fast counter attack.

3)He loves Spanish players too much.

Xavi needs to learn more with a small division team, let him go, he doesn't have what it takes.

Or he needs to send a spy to the training sessions of man city or Arsenal or Bayern Munich or PSG or even Roma and Napoli so that the spy can teach him how the coaching staff trains their players.
Our players are too fragile, like what the fork!!! Only lewadoski, Gavi and Memphis and aruajo are strong, the rest are bananas.

Xavi is the problem. Do the players even Carry light weigh lifts?
I doubt xavi have that in his training.

Haven't y'all noticed how huge Halland has become since he came to man city?
Man has turned into a giant, look at the biceps he has developed, Guaidiola has turned him into Hercules.

This is what an elite coach will do to Raphinha and dembele and ferran Torres and fati.

Turn them into Hercules.

Na to Dey play basketball and volleyball for training dem sabi. Say dem Dey build team spirit.
Na that dembele Dey vex me pass, dembele shoots as if he doesn’t have bones, so lackadaisical.
Abeg let’s improve oo, important matches ahead.

What is Alonso doing in CB, what is he even doing in this club?
This is Bad jare.

Kilishihunter:

13 shots. Only 2 on target. With lewa out I don't honestly know what to think about our impending games and why busquets still played in this game is what I don't understand, Only us will still be doing egbon adugbo in this time and age of modern football when other more recognized teams are prioritizing taking cold decisions and recruiting for more success
Blud used to be unreal, he's not again

Shebi dem say na
“More than a club”
Doesn’t give them the right to prioritize personal relationships over the club’s well being.

After spending 5 years in Barcelona, and after playing football for more than a decade. Ousmane dembele still doesn’t know how to shoot the round leather ball, I tire for that guy.
Xavi should also give Pablo torre more game time, the boy has good movement.
Araujo mehn, baba too good.

OhBritannia:
Dear cules.
Don't y'all think that if xavi start giving this man chances again, perhaps the goals will start pouring in again.
I mean we can't be so over dependent on lewadoski and it's obvious Fati, Raphinha, ferran can't give us goals.
Maybe xavi should give demphay playing time and let's see if the team can finally have a balance between Demphay, lewadoski and dembele. (LDD or DLD)
Perhaps that's what the team is missing.

I agree with you on this, what Barca lacks is a smart, direct winger with good movement off the ball. Ferran shows glimpses sometimes but him too dey Bleep up. Raphinha and dembouz are too unstable and chaotic with poor finishing.
Sometimes I wonder if they watch their previous matches.

It’s quite sad that a top club like Barcelona doesn’t even have at least one good winger, midfield zero, attack zero. Na only defence we get.
I just tire..

Omo Ronaldo sef, of all the clubs wey dey Europe.
Money was hard to turn down sha.

This moment, I don put hand for head already.
After that save, I knew Argentina was going to win it.

andrewbaba44:


Let’s not forget that dembele started all France game and was superb ,he was only bad at the finals

If you can’t calm down at the big stage then you aren’t ready. Same thing he does at club level.

Bimmarlykay:
While we're celebrating our GOAT...we gats talk about Dembele's performance niqqa ain't improving.

Kounde also,imagine Di maria dismantling our defender like he was non-existence.When he faces someone like Mbappe what will be of him

Na dembele own worse pass, Imagine an undisputed starter for a big club like Barcelona being subbed off in the first half of a world cup final, and na one small boy replace am.
He has the talent, but maybe his mind isn’t capable of handling such talent and he will never become the world class player he was meant to be.

coded01:


I have never seen anything like this in a World cup final...

Has to be one best matches of 2022

Dembele don go disgrace himself for world stage.
I hope this causes him to change.

Omo kudos to Morocco, dem really try.
If Argentina can win the midfield game against France, then they can win. Fouls go choke for that match sha.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
So xavi gave City 60m 4 lord of movement...City carry 20m go buy Alvarez..

i can't wait 4 dis useless coach to leave barca.

alvarez even said dat his fmr club & barca are his favourite club. a barca fan he's. Useless xavi was more interested in buying spanish frauds like, Azipi, Alonslow,Inigo Martinez,Flop Tores.

I don’t even understand mehn, and now the werey is trying to convince busquets to renew for one more season. Anyways, xavi’s tactics has always been cross and nod/shoot( if chance dey)

Please why is xavi hell bent on busquet’s renewal? I no understand again.

Lahoz officiating rubbish as usual, the guy is always too emotional.

tesppidd:
Lautaro must be possessed with the spirit of Higuain.

I tell you
He better not cost them in the future.

The Argentina team I watched today mehn, impressive.

Why exactly is xavi pushing for busquets renewal? Which kind coach be this na?

Fati still feel he is a kid, him no sabi say time dey fly…

Busquets for follow pique like that, then alba at the end of the season..

This Pablo Torres go sabi play smooth one touch football

OhBritannia:
If the board refused to sack xavi before our next match on Saturday, then they have no plan for the club.

Chelsea sacked lampard.
Jeventus sacked pirlo.
Ac Milan sacked Gatuso.

If Barcelona refused to sack xavi today then the club is doomed.

A football club is not run by sentiment and Barcelona is the only club in the world that is run with sentiment, emotions and friendship.

There is an old saying that says, never mixed business with pleasure or don't mix family and friendship with business and Barcelona failing to honour this life principle is why we are where we are today.

No Club willing to perform at the very top will still keep xavi because clearly he has failed and not just failed, he failed historically.

There shall be no excuse, Xavi must be sacked.

We need a breath of fresh air in the club, we need to win the league and Europa but before we can, Xavi must go.

Laporta won’t sack xavi now, who go
replace am? Another problem is this obsession with ‘signing a coach or player familiar with the ‘club’s philosophy/style’ football don change, even pep that brought the style self don edit am, create new one. We just have to manage xavi until after the World Cup. What I watched yesterday was the same thing I have been seeing since, recycle possession them give it to dembele, same thing that happened when Leo was here. Na why him be king of assists last season, he is our only creative force. I won’t blame dembele as he gassed out early yesterday, only few can beat a player Alphonso comfortably.
Make we just focus on la liga, meanwhile this season’s Europa league is going to be interesting.

udatso:

With the way we have been highly unfavoured in key refereeing decision in uefa this season, I think there might just be an agenda against us. How the hell was that not a penalty?

That’s not a penalty…

Omo disappointed, na only dembouz Dey try.
The rest of the team is disconnected.

Omo you cannot be recycling possession then giving it to the best winger to create na, same thing everytime and it’s so predictable. Might work in la liga sometimes but not the UCL.
Omo..

Trevor012:

Most Balon dor and golden boot due to la Liga tax and playing his entire career in farmers league facing Eibar and Elche. In the highest club competition in the world where the best teams collide for supremacy who has the Most goals, assists, records,top scorer awards, most free kicks, most knockout stage goals etc. It's not by statppadding every weekend against Eibar/ Getafe and calling yourself Goat.

Okay
But who has the most ballon d or?

michigang:
So Dembele has been likened to neymar in his prime. Yet some nincompoop here thats never played soccer their entire life keeps castigating him

That’s an outrageous comparison abeg, and na xavi start that rubbish. Dembele is just a very weird player, no doubt talented but I doubt he will reach top level. Him go Dey like dem quaresma.

Ikennablue:
What happened to Ansu??���

Omo man seems like a shadow of his former self, I really hope he gets back to his best soon enough.

Dembele consistency is all I ask, no be say you no get this talent.
Araujo+Kounde is our future defence partnership.
