During his playing days, Xavi was nothing without Iniesta. E reach coaching, he's still nothing without Iniesta. But that's another talk for another day.

Meanwhile, how's Pedri's performance? Usual activity without precision. AM with zero creativity. Just hype.

Kilishihunter:
Lol, Biko no mind oga debroslink, e be like e still retain him agenda during the [b]puig vs pedri Chronicles under koema[/b]n
E get reason why nobody for this thread don agree so far, Our football is wing play dependent rather than mostly through the middle so most of our midfielders play the final pass to the wingers (Dembele inclusive) Reason why he has lots of assists, If pedri is put on sale today he'll have no shortage of suitors

Are you kidding me? I'm talking about our uncreative midfield, but you dey talk about Puig. So the reason why we play Pedri and Gavi is to pass to wingers? When will you face facts and stop this mediocrity?

Pedri and Gavi have played a combined 1700 minutes, but have ZERO assist this season. Just passing the ball around and accumulating possession without precision. No wonder we haven't played UCL KO since those two became regulars.

Those sissies are overrated, and I'll always call them out.

In fact, look at this season so far, zero assist in 12 games, yet Lewa has scored tons of goals already, even Dembele the fraud has scored and assisted too.

But Pedri keeps forming activity and less creative. He is a pussy on the field. Tackle, he can't tackle. Assist, he can't assist. Zero assist this season in 900 minutes. 1 assist in almost 3000 minutes played.

Fraud.

Baddestguyp:
while I still believe De Jong is our best midfielder...
I refuse to believe Pedri and Gavi are solely to blame...

Yes they aren't creating but who will they create to?
Xavi makes Dembele and Rafinha play like LB and RB
All they do is cross and pray...

Our wingers are supposed to make runs to the box so midfielders can create for them...

How can Pedri and Gavi create chances when Lewandowski is the only forward in the box

Aubameyeng scored like 13 goals, and even Depay scored double digits last season. But where is Pedri's contributions to those efforts?

Stop defending an average midfielder. Just 1 assist in the whole of last season after playing 1800 minutes as our AM.
Pedri is an overrated fraud.

airmark:
Truth finally revealed.

What truth?

A serious club would have sent Pique and Busquets packing since 3 years ago, but not Barcelona. They keep accumulating more average Spanish players like say dem swear for them.

We just postponed the inevitable.

Shey una dey see say this Pedri na scam.

We chop just one goal for La Liga but dey drink goal like water for UCL. Just know that La Liga is trash.

Majikman:
See as Barca dey shame me … Mtcheww.
Last season, Chances plenty but conversion rate was poor . This season person wey go convert dey but where the chances ?
Bayern go win Barca for Camp Nou no doubt .

Abeg, help me ask Pedri fans here. If I tell them that De Jong is more creative than Pedri, dem no go gree.

Skimpledawg:
Na you really post this thing?

Seems hacked

Hacked bawo? My bashing of Xavi's career is well documented here.

Only Madrid is doing well. La liga is bullshit right now.

Jpmoriarti, come and defend this team na.

michealdeco:
If Pique, Roberto and busquets doesn't leave this club after this season I might just stop supporting Barca

No o. Xavi must keep them o. Pedri is also the greatest midfielder of this generation.

Xavi has no Iniesta to bail him out this time around.

WhoDeyHause:
Why didn't he then selected for African best? They had to take Mikel who was Nigeria's best player in afcon. They know who carried who. Even sunday mba was better. Emenike was not even in the team of the tournament.
African best player >> afcon golden boot.

Drogba = Salah-lite = FRAUD

Look at the list below and point out Africa's best with ZERO trophy for their country.

TLona1:
I'm not changing any story

Iniesta was also a controller even though that wasn't his main attribute. He was still top notch in that department.

Xavi stopped being a starter after 2015 yet we still saw Iniesta's effectiveness on the pitch.

Your nonsense agenda is DOA.

The guy wants us to visit Lamfraud's career once again. Even the Xavi he hypes was a passenger for Barca for 10 years before Iniesta helped his career.

WhoDeyHause:
Drogba won African player of the year two times with no trophy. What is emenike's award with 2013 afcon cup?

Emenike won golden boot while dragging his country to the title. Drogba was a virus. The NT won the title immediately he left.

Like Drogba like Salah. Drogba is Salah-lite

TLona1:
Pep was carried by Messi.
Messi was carried by Xavi and Iniesta
Iniesta was carried by Messi and Xavi
Busquets was carried by Messi, Xavi and Iniesta
Pique and Valdes were lucky to be in a star studded team.

It goes on and on and on..

Pathetic agenda full here. It's so unfortunate.

WhoDeyHause:
Drogba has more goals in finals than iniEsther has strands of hair on his shining head. Drogba >>> Dead barka.

As far as NT is concerned, EMENIKE >>>>>>>>>>>> drogba

Only Madrid is rep La Liga in this UCL.

jpmoriarti:
We only see you around when we lose, so you come and tell us "I told you so".

Everyone knows we struggle greatly against a team that put 10 man behind the ball and was fortunate to get a goal. Even when Messi was at his prime, we always struggled.

Sincerely, I'm tired of watching the same script every now and then for years. 68% possession but just 2 shots on target. And I'm also tired of stressing this same issue. I can't be celebrating wins against minnows and then lose to real teams.
Bayern didn't put 10 men behind the ball, yet we lost. Madrid won't do so later this month, yet I'm not optimistic.

Until our wingers start producing goals and our midfielders start shooting for goals instead of passing around like stooges, the same cycle will continue.

brandon180:
I don talk am and I go talk am again, that midfield no be am, zero creativity, predictable play.
Just recycling passes and then give it to dembele to try and create something, same thing that happened when Messi was with us.

My people don dey see wetin I dey talk about Pedri.

BlaqFaze:
The spaces are not getting freed up because the wingers are always going wide in addition to the passive uncreative midfield.

Na small small but eyes don dey clear.

udatso:
Learning Points based on today's match
1. Our attack is useless without dembele
2. None of our wingers can cross.
3. Xavi over thinks when selecting squad for game
4. We are not ready to compete in Europe.
5. We don't have a 10, no attacking midfielders just bunch of passers
6. We can still qualify but we won't go far.
7. I am not confident in Xavi.
8. Raphinha and dembele should never start a game together.
9. Half fit Fati is better than raphindiot

Huh... Are my people seeing the light so soon?

enoch273:
Who owns the Xiaomi follow come 33w charger and wants to sell pls?

I have. 7.5k. Lemme know when you are ready.

jpmoriarti:
See, I don't know how we lost that Bayern game.

I just don't know

We lost the game from midfield especially in the 2nd half. Bayern brought in Goretzha, and that was the end of Pedri's dominance.

A40:
Football is not till you turn 360 like steering

Musiala schooled Midri again. MFJPM

When I say Pedri dey form activity for field, dem say na lie. That he hit the bar doesn't count for an overall good display.

People call him young Iniesta. I laugh.

The way Sane ran through our defence for his goal is a cause for concern.

ThierryJay:
Pedri played well today. Disappointing players were Lewy, Dembele, Raphina, MATS & Christensen.

Pedri wey go dey form activity for field. By season's end, we'll count his G/A.

At least, Gavi is a fighter.

I've never been convinced with Pedri in the 1st place.

Xavi's preference for Spanish players will cost him his job.
