I swear!!! Man.
Anybody that will defend Xavi is clearly an enemy of Barcelona.
You look at this team with good players that suddenly becomes giants on international duties and you will just know that the coach is the problem.

There is no sugar coating it, Xavi needs to leave.
No second chance should be given, Laporta should develop balls and sack Xavi this evening.

We need a man like Roman Abramovich as our president.

Laporta too is ruthless ooh, someone that sacked koeman on the airplane after this same rayo game, I think he might still want to give him the benefit of the doubt cause of last season, where I think pressure would really start to be on xavi's head is we don't beat Porto, I never wished for this kind of pressure for my legend but it is what it is
But in the instance xavi is laid off, who would then become our head coach?

oliverano:
I wish he could just resign and go with his ineptitude!

Xavi no fit set up midfield to play positional game. What a shocker!

If we carry this kind of positional play to go and face Girona they'll smoke us, Remember last season's 0-0 at the camp Nou? That match provoke me die, see Girona toying with us in the midfield, even romeu turn busquets that day, if not for castellanos missed chances we could easily have lost that game

They won't smoke us coz of the quality that we have but we'll lose or draw.

Xavi's ineptitude needs to be studied...

It seems we will have to go and get garcia pimienta back cos this job was supposed to be his

If at all Xavi is sacked, we need a world class coach pls. I love Pimeneta. He's doing well but he'll be another Xavi.

Hahaha. I am glad we all see xavi for what he is. I said it in last two games and since then, I don't expect us to win any match anymore or trophy this season. We are worse than shit.

He who is down fears no fall that's why I don't even get angry anymore at these matches.

I advise my fellow culers to stop hoping for anything positive from Xavi. We actually have a squad that's above average. We just have a bad driver. Give him the best squad and he would underachieve at best.

oliverano:
Poor goal keeping. But a good shot nonetheless!

Can you even rember the last time someone took a shot like that for Barca for the past 10 years?

Yes, Romeo against Real Madrid pre season, struck the bar

Raphinha today, hit the post.

Fermin Lopez twice this season, scored one, the other struck the left bar.

Fermin against Madrid pre season scored.


That's about seven instances. Changes nothing though. Xavi is inept!

Do you remember that time wey comrades dey talk say: " it's another three points, just pick it and run"

No more three points to pick and run. 😂

My brother, I was one of those comrades who believed we should cut him some slack but I didn't voice it sha...
As we progressed, I realised that we are actually in a one-chance situation.

Laporta needs to act fast.
I don't even care who our next coach is, all i want is for Xavi to go.

The team needs new energy and a breath of fresh air

Bro they are the highest scoring side in the league if I'm correct, this season is different, if we give them the chance to hijack the midfield otilo niyen

For me, we are a team that don’t take their chances, and concede from very little.

Barca don’t make any difference in set pieces, individual brilliance and a general lack of quality in the final third continues to frustrate.

This is how it has been all season

Franktom247:

You are really a good student of history of this club but how are we sure Pimienta would still want to coach us considering the way Laporta let him off from Barca B after he was literally begging for the first team job?
Like this sef I can't even think of anybody that can salvage us right now atm, Shey na three at the back conte or flick who was disgraced out of the diemanschaft? My tired is tired biko

Blame your gaffer. We've become the definition of STALE!

I'll rather just watch paint dry....

Another thing that needs to change whether xavi stays or not is this so called closeness and bond between the leaders, coaching staff and teammates, we need more ruthlessness, people that should be reminded daily that they are paid hefty sums to always try and put in positive results for the club not all this nonsense friendship FC and club de amigos
Once you fúck up you get scolded or get your ass stuck on the bench, this ain't love island

My own is we should just win Porto (I just checked myself to actually believe I'm saying this) as for the next two fixtures im not really emotionally invested, I've already given up on laliga for the meantime

Na you go tire. I no join you in any blame game merry-go-round🙁

oliverano:
but Gavi is light years ahead of Pedri on football matters.....

Some people here will have your head on a platter for this bolded comment.

Tire? Lol!

We couldn't pick it and run today sha!

On to the next one chief!

If this wack team plays in the EPL, they won't make top 15. Xavi and his wack tactics is just lucky that he's playing La liga in an era when the league is poor in quality.

Debroslink:

But Gavi is "currently" better nah. Pedri now plays like Arthur Melo. Holding on to the ball with zero penetration, average work rate, average intensity.

Name one thing he's better than Gavi. Only pausa.

Rayo has been a somewhat bogey of a team for us , for about 3yrs now. We haven't beat them in over 6 attempts. We were closer on this occasion but we have to try and win against Porto to forget about this disappointment

Sure.

All my ranting na based on disappointment. Xavi has really disappointed me. I swear!

That's what injury does to a player. It keeps chipping away on your pace and quality each time you are away until there's nothing left. Each time you are out, you come back a bit less.

You have to be patient with him and hope he recovers his pace and vision on the ball.

Pedri is destined for greatness but you have to worry with all these injuries he's had to suffer.

Sure but Gavi is currently better than Pedri and I love them both.

We have found ourselves with a limited squad. Limited in quality for the level expected consistently at the club.

Romeu is not a player with our level nor is Torres nor Raphinha. Lewandowski and Gundogan are way past there best. Our key players are consistently away with injuries.

Can you remember the last time Xavi had a fully-fit squad to choose from?

It was the super copa win in January last year.

Since then, its been from major injury to one or another key player or several ke players.

The limited squad continues to be plagued with more misfortune.

Dembélé’s exit continues to affect the squad. No player can stretch the defence in wide areas and unbalance the opposition in our favour.

No matter how good a coach is, you need a quality squad who are consistently available, to carry out your tactical plans

oliverano:

Well, you'll have to wait until August 2024 to see Gavi on the field of play.

These are what makes the work of Xavi increasingly harder. The small squad, quality-wise, continues to grow smaller.

no world class coach will manage barca without world class signings something we cant give for now
