Pol van Boekel, the VAR referee tonight, was also in charge of VAR during Bayern vs Barça. In Munich, he refused a clear penalty on Dembélé, and today he made two atrocious decisions.

udatso:
Any time inter has the ball, you could feel the way they move the ball and always almost scoring

BlaqFaze:
We only played one ball in behind in this game...the pass from Dembele to Kessie which resulted in a free kick on the edge of the box

Kilishihunter:
Inter will want to die for a draw and probably ride their luck to a win which will be the final nail in barça's coffin, Outside shots, Long range, Curlers, Anyone even if it's too high is one of the potent ways to beat a low block, we might even be helped by a deflection, not wanting to pass or cross the ball into the net everytime, Now we have to win every single game left and hope bayern give inter the same kind of treatment they gave us last year

As in I still dey wonder whether Xavi go coaching school or na old Tiki Taka system wey dey almost impossible to apply in modern day football without major tweaks na him he dey stuck to.

cliqtips:
Yes, he did.


But they can be rotating nah just like ETO and Henry did that year when we had Messi as the Top 9

You see low block and a box 18 that's populated with about 7 to 8 players everytime you attack and you still try to be building passes around them. It's gonna be intercepted as there's little space to exploit since almost all critical points are covered in so small space.

This is where long range or outside box shots work perfectly. I just dey shout and curse since the first half they should try shots. I come dey sound like mad man for centre cos it's like na only me dey see the obvious. Forcing shots on them will make them on the edge and want to move the ball out their box quickly thus causing errors. When shots start to dey deflect off players nonstop, nobody go tell them to use sense and fight for the ball, thus more space to exploit.

This match totally removed all hope I had for Xavi. Now na just look and observe mode I dey for him style of play. We win, I celebrate. We lose, another in the life of Xavi.
At this point Xavi na premium amateur and adamant to learn and adapt apart from his preconceived doctrines. What he sees in Gavi every match day starting dey begin to baffle me. Na like this Koeman overuse Pedri before he come dey get fitness issues last season.

I even like as we lost both matches now sef make him head correct and bring him back to earth cos man's ego is becoming inflated.
Even almighty Guardiola who is infamous for his stubbornness and rigidity was forced to play tit-for-tat haram football against Atletico.
Why this Man go dey think say same tactic go work because you get top players everyday beats my imagination. So predictable. Na only our backline dey dynamic. Asides that, Xavi grossly underutilises our so called "overly large and spoilt for options attack".

abduleez1:
This man has a secret mission.
Is he Belgian or Austrian?

Chasicolis:
Xavi has no clue at all.
Lose this game and we head to Europa.

You guys are getting this thing wrong.

Our problem is not the players, our problem is xavi.

Have you seen Raphinha plays for Brazil?
If dembele was not good, i remember even Guadiola wanted him during the opening of the last transfer Window.

Number 1, Dembele is more effective when you sub him in the second half, because of his pace and dribble he brings to the game, the defenders of our opponent would have already been tired.

Why is xavi using Raphinha in the wrong position?

How do you expect Lewadoski to function when Raphinha is not in his position and we don't have a mildfiel?

The players are not the problem, The problem Is xavi.

He wants to be Guadiola by all means possible, overthinking nonsense.

Someone should go and tell him that there can be only one Guadiola on earth as there can be only one Messi and only one Ronaldinho.

If he doesn't come up with his own plans and tactic then he should leave the club.
How can you be losing one goals to zero and you still play the same tactic that made your opponent scored you?

Any good coach should know how to change tactic and formation in the Middle of the game.

Xavi need to win a trophy for barca lamasia first before he can be considered as a first team coach.

Since Luis Enrique left Barcelona, all the coaches we have been signing have Always been out of desperation.

why oga jp wan use var dey do cover up. we did not deserve to win/draw dis match. na so messi dey drag our @ss before 4 match wey we no deserve to win only 4 us to chop 8~2, 4~0 wen we meet europe big boys.

coded01:
Xavi a football legend...not so promising as a coach...

coded01:
Europa League here barca comes...

brandon180:
God bless you brother..
He over thinks, and he can be very stubborn.
If we falter next week, he is definitely going to be under pressure.

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.

Kilishihunter:
Raphinha performs best as an inverted winger cause of his stronger Left foot, for the meantime I hope I don't see him on the left flank again except maybe cause of injury or minute reasons, See the ball he gave dembele after both switched, Not everyone is as adept as Sane on both wings, That one was surely on xavi

jpmoriarti:
He came on after 60mins. Besides, Ansu Fati is not playing his best games yet.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Chai i dey miss Adriano & his outside 18 shots. dis alonslow & roberto na scam. i no knw why we refused to buy mazaroui...


i think haaland made d right decision going to city. xavi plus his cross & nod fc no dey too bother me. city is there, argentina is there. however, it is a sackable offense that after we sold our assets xavi cross & nod tactics will take us down to europa.

Debroslink:
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.

Bimmarlykay:
That's because Busquet is slow ASF and weak alongside Roberto tueh!!!

na here wahala dey. e go affect our revenue. lets assume as a fan i'm a season ticket holder. devil knws dat i won't come to d camp nou to watch barca play in d europa 4 two consecutive season...i will rather log-in to my pornhub account & watch Jada Fire's latest video.

coded01:
Barca isn't winning bayern at home

Inter game at home would decide if barca qualifies for the next round or drops to europa league...

I do NOT see barca in the next round except a miracle happens.

Barca winning "any trophy" this season is almost slim...
