And I'm telling you everyone deserves to be thrown under the bus.
The team is bad and Xabi doesnt know how to fix it.

Tbh I am just seeing a team wasting away good years of their prime.

We need to win something to at least raise the mood but the season is just starting.

With the way we are going...

pu7pl3:
Vini slows our build up down, doesn't play with his full back but prefers to take on 2 or 3 defenders which is mostly unrealistic with the poor form he has been on for months. He doesn't know how to shoot the ball clinically and misses very good chances every game.
He doesn't know how to track runners defensively or how to win the ball back high up the pitch.


I could go on and on.

The team should be more balanced? Guler/Bellingham can create from the middle, someone from the right, and a good striker will help the press.

Some of these were used in CWC, where there is an extra player who will switch play.

I can't explain all this.

I am only talking about Vini because everyone is throwing him under the bus

Melvyn11:
Everyone knows what happened in the dressing room this season. Rodrigo, Vini, valverde, Endrick ganged up against Xabi and destroyed the team cohesion.

He is coach, he can adapt.

We have good talent in the team, there is no need to fix himself on one single idea.

The match against Barcelona was so chaotic, you have to tell me he planned it that way?

Melvyn11:
Some of the players you are defending are the issues in this team.

Sorry apart from Rodrygo at the moment, the problem I see here is Perez.

Do you guys really think Xabi alone makes all the team selections?

You think Perez doesn't influence it?

Ancelloti could not use Academy players now you are seeing the same with Xabi.

I said it before, we only need a striker after Benzema and we will be unstoppable.

We saw it when Joselu played and even when Garcia played.

Why is everyone now like ooo Vini should do more?

What else do you want him to do when his position can't even be fixed??

Melvyn11:
Who cares about what vini did in the past against Dortmund and Liverpool when he has been rubbish this season. For the past two seasons he has been below expectations. You are letting nostalgia blind your reasoning.

It is you who should think, is Vini a goal scorer? No?? Why are we expecting more from a creator?

He is not Ronaldo or Messi.

pu7pl3:
Fans are looking for one single person to blame when the blame should be on everyone.
Every single one of those players have been bad except Courtois, The coach has been the worst too.
Blame everyone.

Brother don't exclude Courtois, he has been in the team for how long?? And you mean he can't bring everyone together??

Someone should tell me the exact problem, not all these reactive blames

nonny1212:
SACK XABI ALONSO!

For what??

Losing??

What about the players?? Can you handle all the negative news from the media?

Look at what is happening with Rodrygo?

Something is happening in that dressing room but nobody is telling us the truth.

Melvyn11:
Imagine blaming your top scorer and top creator as the problem of the team when your defenders and midfielders are playing like trash plus an incompetent coach.

Blame who you want to blame

Not my concern, something is wrong with the team and it needs fixing ASAP

jpmoriarti:
That PSG got infinitely better without Mbappe, should be all the pointers you need to know he was never going to be good for your team. You have to get get rid of Vinicius. Even then it might not be enough to restore balance in your team.

Signing of Mbappe was a thing of pride for Florentino Perez and to assert authority and prestige. He clearly disrupted a team that won UCL.

And we in Barcelona are loving it 😀 😍

Why get rid of Vinicius?? We have seen what Vini can do time and time again.

No matter how many goals Mbappe scores, he can't replace Vini vs Bayern, Vini vs Dortmund last year, Vini vs Liverpool.

Perez is at fault for all this, no one else can take the blame.

Devvy4:
I don't mind losing 5-0 to city so that Alonso will be fired immediately.

And what is going to change?? The players will remain the same, the team will still have no balance, egos... Mbappe will hug all the lights, hiding all the things going wrong with the team.

Bacteria8:
Two or three weeks ago, I saw his interview where he said his job in our team is to score goals

Ronaldo and Messi will often say their own job is to help the team, which is why you will see them all over the pitch, marking, defending, even doing throwing in
But our Prince of Paris said his own job is to score goals. He doesn't mark, he doesn't track back to help the team... He just wanna score 50 or 60 goals a season even if those goals gave Madrid no silverware, it doesn't matter. He just wanna score goals!!!

That's why he will sit in front and wants everyone to pass to him.

Guler pass to him every minute like the world would end if he doesn't..
Valverde pass to him rather than shoot (can't even remember the last time I saw this guy shoot at goal)..
Bellingham became a ghost and a ball recovery merchant only to pass to Mbappe again and again..
Vini became assist provider..
Rodrygo ? I don't even know what to say about this one.

Bellingham was top scorer in Laliga, closely followed by Vini and Rodrygo. But the Prince of Paris came and suddenly nobody knows how to score goals again... except pass to the him. And what happens when the Prince couldn't score, the whole team suffers.

I mean, just look at PSG right now...where everybody mark, and everybody scores. That was Madrid two seasons ago without the "goal merchant" from Paris.

There's so much to say, but not enough time.

In conclusion, the two headless horsemen of the apocalypse (Mbappe and Alonso) need to leave my club asap!!!

Someone pointed this out the last time that Guler was passing to Mbappe instead of shooting.

We were playing like a team with a goal before Mbappe but now??

Tbf to Xabi, everything is on Perez, look at most teams with right wingers (Saka, Yamal) they are doing crazy good, a club of our caliber should be able to build a better right wing for good balance but no (Perez wanted Mbappe)

We have gotten Mbappe, the club has more money, the fans are now more miserable, who is really winning and who is losing??

Is Mbappe really for the team??

Even if Garcia or Endrick become our main striker, with Mbappe in the team, are they going to get the play they deserve.

How can we have Vinicius, Guler and Bellingham in a team and not score even a single goal?? It has become too common under Xabi.

Why I don't support his actions so far, at least he was winning and I am the hater but what now?

Is this the start of a trophy less season?

English teams!!!
Damn
I can't believe this
Is this the end??
3-0 not even 1 scored

I no know where to direct my anger
Damn it
Liverpool
Will Premier League start making mouth soon with the way they are winning?

monerozi5590:
What are you saying?

Not a fan of Mbappe simple!!!

What is going on with Endrick? This guy wants to score goals, I don't really understand Xabi, are we doing the right thing supporting all this?
Damn, we should never have gotten Mbappe... How long are we going to keep struggling?

Bacteria8:
Everybody eye don dey clear

I'm just we gonna ruin Alonso's career. He came home too early.

Which coach apart from Klopp you know that you are sure of?? Besides, any coach need the players to cooperate.

We still have a long way to go... This English teams!!!

Beyond tactical system, Xabi should build better relationship with the players and let the players express themselves more, we need goals.

pu7pl3:
Make una pour me water😭😭

There is still national games again?
Omo this players are trying oo

Berankis:
If we are not foolish in Nigeria, what we (the South-westerners and south-easterners) should be planning now is how these criminals will not run into our territories.
Obviously the US Military action is coming... This is not the time to do fake brotherhood but to take a stand and act. THESE CRIMINALS (TERRORISTS, HERDSMEN, BANDITS, KIDNAPPERS) SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED INTO RUN INTO OUR TERRITORIES.
Let them stay in their abode to finish what they started.

First thing that came to my mind... We can't allow them to go beyond the north or everything will worsen for the whole country.

Xabi is playing with a "system"
That's why he keeps losing against teams that suddenly wake when facing us.
Guler passing instead of shooting "Xabi system"
Put players in the game with the mindset to score, he is playing favourite with Mbappe.
I am still watching.
Hala Madrid

Xabi just saved Slot career
Well done

Potvalor:
With Masta out, who do you all prefer to start vs Liverpool tomorrow between Camavinga (using the same setup vs Barca) or Brahim at RW? I think Xabi will go with either of these two, as it is unlikely he starts Rodrygo at RW or tries something even more different like Valverde at RW and Trent at RB (seen some Madridsta from MM clamoring for this option too).

For me, I think Camavinga starts, but Brahim in a 4:3:3 would be more effective as Liverpool's backline has been struggling lately (especially that left side of VVD and Kerkez).

Endrick, at least another player that can score especially if they close off Mbappe

Good scoreline

Still watching Xabi Ball

Hala Madrid

I really want to see what Xabi can do with this is hard-line authority management.
To me, substituting Vini when he is having a good game is uncalled for and his reaction justified. Mbappe is just not the guy for me, Vini every day on a good or bad day
Hala Madrid.

Devvy4:
We attack like a primary school class

Too disjointed and disorganised, we should be smashing this guys at least 5-1

My fear, injury
Injury destroyed this Barca team, when I saw Xabi sub I just knew he was trying to use players with more energy in the game.

Any injuries to key players (right now, all players are key players self) we will be in trouble if anyone gets injured.

monerozi5590:
Not justified no matter what!

Pick the positive brother
He is playing for the team

Xabi should work on this attack
Yamal should go and sleep
Hala Madrid

Rajmeista:
A player who was creating chances, spirited, pressing and supporting Carreras massively in defence, you removed him. That Vini's reaction is justified.

Absolutely

High expectations men!!!
A loss is unacceptable
The 11 is solid
Hala Madrid

usbcable:
As long as Xabi does not overthink the formation we will be fine. Barca has not been spectacular. Sadly, our attack too has not been spectacular.

Net overall, I expect nothing less than a win. Else these boys should cover their heads in shame. That Carvajal should not disgrace his lineage with stupidity today. Ineffectual captain.

Lol, have you confirmed he is the captain?
