Barca's play under Xavi has been too heavily dependent on wing-play. Yes it may have worked in Liga pushing us to the top but when we face more physically savvy opponents like Bayern & Inter, our wingers are rendered sterile.

Xavi has to create a balance so we can find alternatives. Barca used to be a team that was dangerous through the middle, now it's almost non existent. He needs to leverage on Pedri, Gavi & FDJ to improve our central attacking play at least so we wont be as predictable as we currently are with Dembele and Raphina. At least before, it was the UCL latter stages where we stumble. Now we are struggling in group stages. Something needs to change drastically.

Omo psg don Dey play ball sha, haven’t watched them this season.

ThierryJay:


Lol, I've already resigned myself to the realization that he will likely break it. In fact, I could have said Pep also had this in mind when he took Haaland off at half time, maybe to help Messi's record. If not, the machine fit go score 5 goals yesterday . Na only injury and Pep fit stop Haaland from clocking 70goals this season.

That said, Haaland may score more goals but he cannot match Messi's quality level. Case in point yesterday vs Benfica and I'd rather watch that kind of magnificent goal from Messi over and over than moping at multiple 6-yard tap-ins. Pep himself has concluded it on Sunday saying that Haaland needs all of his teammates to perform but Messi can do it all alone.

That our midfield no be am, gavi still doesn’t know when to release the ball, no be everything be marking. [b]There was an instance against inter where he had a chance to release dembele with just one pass but he wanted to continue driving and then he was tackled. [/b]Pedri and fdj suppose Dey handle that our midfield. We have no creativity and that’s why we depend on the wing(dembele)

Ballzproblem2:
as a long time Barca fan I think we where fooled by Chelsea , all the players we took from them ,all the deal we hijack, have been backfiring,my fellow culers we should demand the sack of xavi ,for his incompetence

chai leeds united don scam us. dis raphinha no worth 30m. even ordinary corner kick dey hard am. he no sabi dribble too. dis thing wey we dey play no carry us go anywhere.

Kilishihunter:

Lol, xavi's play has always been wing dependent firstly reason why we're good on transitions, I think our midfield is not yet matured enough to fully penetrate ultra defensive shapes perfectly through the middle probably why he wanted Silva all summer long, I think FDJ will start alongside pedri though if he's fit next week, Xavi must have been reading the bile and vitriol thrown towards him online after the game example is the news leaking out that he plans to play Raphinha more in his natural position
I have little qualms we'll beat inter at home if we take advantage of the half spaces they'll leave while defending, my major worry is Bayern with all our new injuries included, A draw will have been helpful considering our fixture congestion but for now we must not forget we still have a league to fight for,On to Celta

Bimmarlykay:
This match na Eyesore walahi

Xavi no sabi work

Lewan always hiding against big team

Busquet...make i no talk cus him thunder is waiting for him

Why not move Alonso to the right and take Roberto off the Bleep out he's brain was only on pass to Dembele .

Men i dun move to P.S.G/Man city cus this team ain't ready we go too collect with likes of Raphinha,Dembele, Ferran and Depay... Make i focus on league.

dis inter dey give me 2017 juventus vibes wit MSN....we played 180mins yet we no fit score a goal.


u see why i wanted roberto to go...y'all gave excuse dat he's on low salary & all dat sh!t. Roberto is done & dusted playing 4 barcelona cox of la masia tax. I watching d replay...roberto game was pass to dembouz...d few times he attempted a pass/cross to lewa, dey were all easily intercepted.

mirinder:
their problem is defence. By the way, i hear say messi is coming

what's d point of keeping roberto & fvcking bellerin...but wen u face big teams like ATM, PSG, CITY , MADRID & BAYERN you deploy araujo & kounde who are both natural CB to RB.... it's not like we have a prime joldi alba dominating the left flank as a LB. u still dey experiment with alonslow & balde.

Kilishihunter:

Mazi no vex bro but if barça don taya you, free am go support other clubs na,



Only you ferran, Only you Raphinha, only you xavi, only you Roberto, Very soon e go touch everybody
Shey na only you this loss pain ni?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I don't know about you guys....i don't want barca to qualify. Barca made a big mistake by not matching bayern contract offer to mazaroui. Besides, xavi sef na learner... Whats d point of qualifying only to go chop anoda basketball score line.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



I'm sharing my honest opinion about the state of the team & how management failed to re~enforce key positions. Then your reply is if barca don taya me make i port to anoda club. What a foolish & stupid comment. You must be high on mkpurumiri 4 you to post that trash up there as comment.
