Awesome01:
The bolded is against your earlier position that he brings out the beast in already established players.

This is what i said

udatso:
I have been angry with xavi for a while now but I finally get it and I agree with you. Xavi would do well with above average players. He is not the kind of coach that builds and improves players. He is the type that allows already made players to unleash their inner beast.

jpmoriarti:
When literally your entire squad is underperforming, you hold the manager accountable.

Setting the team up in a manner that maximises your personnel is the fundamental basis of a good manager.

Not a single player has been there better self. Christensen, Araujo, Balde, Kounde who all had an astounding season last year, have all been underperforming and alarmingly out of form

Literally everyone in our squad today is grossly underperforming. This has to be on the manager

Like I said, xavi doesn't make anyone better. Now I am not even sure he doesn't make the already better worse

Bimmarlykay:
Only a deluded Barca fan or 'em
"Xavi is not the problem geng" will think we even stand a chance tonight against Madrid.

Any Barca fan who expected that we had a chance should have sense flogged into him. You see this beating wey we collect so, that's our fate whenever we meet a better opponent that don't play with chances.

The worst pain you can give to a headless troll is to ignore him when he is trolling. E go taya lol 😂💯😂💯

E don reach 5 abi e remain small

I am a culer but this is so funny. I have to laugh abeg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆

How are doing guys? We dey collect bah....?


" A man must accept his fate or be destroyed by it". I have since accepted our fate this season. Going trophyless is the way.

jpmoriarti:
I believe if Xavi has all the necessary tools, he can build a very good team for Barca. Look, no matter how you bash him, a coach needs a DM, a competitive frontline and all the good players in their right places.

Why we struggle to get a full good 90 minutes from the team, is because of the lack of quality in strategic positions. I know it is the job of the coach to get the best out of the players he has under him, but it is difficult to operate on a shoe-string budget for a club as big as Barca and still be expected to deliver results.

We'll see what happens on Sunday. But I don't see how our team can come out on top against a much more balanced, rampaging Real Madrid side.

Wow I never knew I could miss nairaland like this. Imagine life without gisting and get angry and sometimes happy about Barca with like minds and fans to share it with

nice

I remember not too long when I wished for Copenhagen and someone said they belong to Mancity. I am sad it is now the reality. Where do we even start from in facing Napoli? If we are creating 100 chances and only scoring 1 or 2, Napoli go create 10 score 5

It actually hurts that our match was on Saturday. It makes the pain of the defeat last longer. If only it was on Sunday as I have gotten used to. Watch the match, get angry, go to bed, resume work on Monday and forget it like it never happened.

Before you go about correcting me it was a draw, kindly shut it cos it was a loss to me

Done watching for the night.

What are your expectations for today's game?

Kilishihunter:
E go hard, Winning a court case against UEFA who's also heavily backed by Nasser Al kheilaini who's the president of ECA, those Arabs go use better amount of money to bribe those judges, but let's just keep holding onto hope sha, Let us see the booby trap rules tebas would initiate this time around to stop us from buying and registering players if the ruling somehow manages to be favourable, But also prepare your mind for incoming bans from UEFA

Why should we prepare our minds for ban. What has Barca done?

Culer:
The present girona manager Michel is good. Sociedad manager is good too but it'll be very difficult to get him as he's a native Basque just like zubimendi.
There's also hansi flick who I know you'll talk about his shambolic stint with the German national team, but nagellsmann isn't getting results with that team either.

If Xavi is sacked before the season ends, the only logical one would be flick as he's currently without a job. The other wouldn't come mid season, they are both doing well with their teams, so they can only be poached at the end of the season.

we can't even poach anybody. We are not financially strong to do so. We may not even be able to pay the severance package of xavi if we are firing him. It's depressing.

Culer,
Bimmerlykay,

we have a new member.

Update your list. We now have Brandon Stark with us

jpmoriarti:
Xavi is the Barca’s coach with the highest percentage of defeats in the Champions League: 6 losses in 14 games. 42%.

Horrible level for a Barcelona coach!!

And if you check, he got this horrible record with fewer games played

brandon180:
I apologize for defending Xavi here and blaming the players, I was blind but now I can see.
Xavi has to go, I legit feel before every match Xavi just tells the players to go out and play and figure out a way to get a goal. Because I don’t understand what I watched today, no drive, no clear idea, players playing anyhow they like. This man fit no get tactics sha…
I can’t even describe Barca’s style of play this season, na just vibes.

I know a certain culer here would ask if you it was xavi that asked our players to make those mistakes that led to goals or stopped our attackers from scoring. Sometimes I just feel like slapping sense into him

jpmoriarti:
I thought the team took a good step forward last season but we have erased all the progress. This team is looking like the Koeman's rudderless team. No belief. No structure. No purpose. No intensity. They concede from the smallest of chances.

This is the song I have been singing but some super coaches without club here would tell us we are broke, xavi is doing well, he won us lalilaga, we have no right to complain.......

Debroslink:
We can't beat any of these teams right now, but February is still far away and let's hope Barcelona will get better by then, even though I know we won't get better as long as Xavi is head coach.

I get hope.

jpmoriarti:
Xavi cannot lead this team.

I have completely lost faith in him. He doesn't have a winning mentality. He's been unable to transfer it to the players.

He doesn't have a structure in place. None of the things he's done with the team seemed to work. Error prone team.

Nothing works. Once an individual makes a mistake, it's a sure goal. A broken team. Every player gets worse in it.

I'm sorry but it is this night I confirmed that Xavi is not the coach for Barcelona.

Welcome 🤗

Lazio
PSG
RB Leipzig
PSV
Napoli
Copenhagen

All our potential opponent in the next stage.

Abeg make them give us Copenhagen make we manage

Ref abeg blow whistle. You want make royal antelope score us more?

I don complain so tey I don tire. Make we just see as the tide dey carry us dey go.

jpmoriarti:
Eric García will do better because the system was built to protect everyone and not expose a single individual.

What does Barça's system do? It isolates individuals and make them prone to errors. This is why each individual mistakes results in goal against us. If you bring back Eric García to our team, you'll see how poor he'll become again.

So what's the issue really here? Poor coaching? Incondusive environment?

If not that I am at work, I for carry placard go Cituat Esportiva. That performance of yesterday gave me headache all through the night.

I blame Xavi for not building a more cohesive unit yet 2yrs down the line. We can't be seeing such embarrassing performance from this team again.

God bless you for this analysis. People keep shielding xavi with complaints that we do not have players. A good coach can build a good team with a bunch of average players. They may lose in a game but clearly you would see a philosophy and a game style that you can beeat your chest with. Then you would know that the icing on the cake would be to get very good players and the coach is winning trophies....
Andrew has zeroed his mind not to look at the faults of the coach too. His first instinct is to defend him always.
Andrewbaba44 two truths can coexist; we have shity coach and players. The earlier you face this reality the better

One thing that stuck out for me yesterday was the beauty Girona moved the ball from their defence to attack. They transitioned so quickly. They knew when to release the ball and to whom? They hardly misplaced pass and every of their attack was a danger. We on the hand pass to an empty place, attempt to dribble when we should pass, attempt to pass when we should shoot....Gundo shoots like a pregnant nanny, Lewa....I don't even want to get angrier than I already am......

I knew we would miss Busquet but I never thought it would be this bad. Where's Aubameyang to permanently retire this FRAUDowski. At this point any striker is better than him. I would take old Adama Traore over Raphidiot

I was truly impressed by Frankie. That guy dey ball abeg

Kilishihunter:
I no even know where to start from
See domination

Start from the awful defence to clueless and disjointed attack to wasted chances by Lewashitski, Goatdogan and pregnant Raphinha

jpmoriarti:
There has to be an inquiry. We can't just be this embarrassing and awful in our own home, infront of our own fans.

No inquiry needed. Xavi is shit. He has a hard time reading the game. We have too many over pampered players lead by Lewashitski.

andrewbaba44:
Lewandowski if you like miss clear chance tomorrow

We need this 3 points to close the gap abeg

Him go miss, make we start with ferran
