PJtech:
rest bro... Setien, Valverde and Koeman did nothing spectacular in europe and also struggle in laegue

So why blame Xavi wey still dey give us hope for league

Did they sell our stadium for these coaches to buy players?

Lewandoski
Ferran
Kounde
Christensen
Raphinha

How much altogether did the coaches you mentioned spent?
Did they have the quality Xavi has now?
Xavi is mid.

Barca did well tbh.

They stayed in the game till the last minute

I no just understand why you fans are blaming Xavi for any loss.... 3 previous coaches were immuliated in europe with our almighty Messi(a shameful score margin)

jpmoriarti:
We have a real chance of winning the league, last won since 2018 or so. We need the league title, more that this nonsense Europa.

I wish ManUtd best of luck. They're used to winning the Europa league. As for us, it is a strange competition and title

Yet you played your strongest team and your coach was beaming with undiluted joy when you got a dubious penalty.

Keep deceiving yourself!

Debroslink:


Bleep La liga! The quality is poor. Just look at how our players were falling all over the place because of pressure. Those guys were too slow and sluggish all over the place. But they'll turn to lions and tigers when they meet the likes of Elche and Almeria.

Once again, Bleep La liga!.

Take it easy Debroslink. You’ll give yourself HBP.

It's match like this where you see Xavi for what and who he is. Clueless. You could literally see it in his face anytime trouble happens in the field. You coulysee him shaking when Araujo had some discomfort.

This man should start learning to play even when your best players are out against top team.

Roberto was totally anonymous in the match and still left him past 70mins before he made a change. United had too much rest in defence and too much time to cos trouble at our defence.
We know the midfield is suspect and weakened with the loss of Gavi and Pedri. But why still stick with Roberto. Person wey don they wey him play midfield and you had bothe Torres and Fati on the bench.

This man won't take us anywhere in Europe. People that take Europa League with levity, I dey wait Una next season when this man start to dey perform the same rubbish against teams wey we suppose dey clean up. If you can't prepare and use Europa to train your team how it works, na champions League wey dem give you elite teams you wan go perform miracles against.

And this is why I was very angry with Xavi for that first leg goof.

The only team that can beat Real Madrid in the UCL is not even playing in Europe.

Outdone and outclassed in every department by manyoo.

PJtech:

They were also blamed and cursed when they messed up. Xavi won't be any different. If you like make you be legend, you mess up, you collect.
Koeman is a Barca legend but fans still disrespect the man when him no fit respect himself.

DeadPresidents:

hmm... not really, they couldn't match the intensity in the 2nd half. Like nothing nothing at all.

Debroslink:


7 goals conceded in 22 matches in La liga
16 goals conceded in 8 matches in ucl

Even if we win the low quality league, f.uck Xavi

I love Xavi actually but he has to win a major title to be able to continue.

We have a very good team. Building foundation is there. If we can win the league, it has the potential of making the team more robust in Europe.

Forget about your numbers. Matches and circumstances surrounding play is not always the same and we have been very lucky in the league to get lots of 1 - 0 win. Its not like we're brushing everyone aside in the league effortlessly.

Losing the likes of Dembele, Pedri and Gavi tonight showed in the lack of quality we had going forward.

Which major title? Is it La Liga where we can’t even concede a goal and have to deal with only Madrid? Madrid are the only Spanish team in the champions league. That’s to show you the major title he is winning

Having Messi in your team beats all these players... no dey cap rubbish

Which winger on our bench would have been capable of causing trouble to Man Utd defence?
Ansu is still having PTSD, raphinha Dey run around like chicken, ferran Na still lord of movement.
The only winger we have in our squad is dembele who is now injured.( that one sef for dissappear for today match, we all know how he can be) This summer we should be making plans to get one more quality winger and a back up striker, plus a Dm and Rb.
We played a good game abeg, poor individual performance just let us down, make una leave Xavi.

This thread is full of toxic fans that can't accept the fact that football is about win or loose(reason why i hate chelsea fans)everytime complain

Adiwana:


We can’t just sack him now. The league is practically won because the rest of the league are very bad that they can’t even score us. We just won a trophy and Copa del Rey is another trophy we can win to make it a domestic treble

We’re in a more positive place than we have been in 3-4yrs. Just that Laporta needs to take the initiative and see that without Xavi, it will only be upwards from here. A new coach can come in the summer and build upon what we already have

The painful thing about all this is that, winning the league is a good thing but it'll only prolong our suffering in where it matters the most...Europe

Raphinha Is not a game changer, he is not the type of player that wins a match for you.
We indeed missed pedri, Gavi and dembele.

There are two reasons why we lost the match.
1) Roberto is useless.
2) Raphinha is overrated.

I won't blame xavi, he can only work with the players he have and yes injuries did us bad.

Honestly we tried, the only thing we lacked are goal hungry forwarders which Pedri, gavi and dembele would have offered us.

So many times we pushed the ball up front but no players to do the final damage.
Balde even as a defender, tried his best too but he is not a striker.

Raphinha has been hiding under the hard work of pedri and Gavi, and today the fool was exposed.

Like i said, injury did us dirty and i have no complain.

Ansu with his head cut off from his body is better than Roberto...

There was a chance in the first half where De Gea committed a blunder...Roberto couldn't square a simple pass...2-0 up in the first half and this would have been a different story.

It's the little things that counts

we will not suffer in Europe. All we need is to buy more players to add to our squad debt.

Be like we (Chelsea) dodged a bullet on that one or maybe it's just the barca effect?
He has regressed ever since joining your team.

But nah, you lost THIS match because you couldn't match the intensity of manyoo. Pure and simple.

we are saying the same thing.
A dembele, pedri and Gavi in the game and the game would have been different.
Injury did us dirty and Manchester united took advantage and yes Raphinha is overrated. Even In the World cup, you can tell he is overrated.

Next season will be worse because he never learns

So guys is Aruajo injured?

PJtech:

Mtcheeeeeew, na small pikin I dey follow argue ball.

Xavi's record in Europe:
16 matches 4 wins 6 draws 6 losses

once again Barca is mediocre taking advantage of a weakened Madrid

OhBritannia:

We have players already....all we need is to bring in a proper coach

We don’t need a back up striker, we need a good starting striker…Lewanghostki isn’t it at all.

True, you can say individual players had more hand in our loss but Xavi can't be excused for the nonsense he played at Camp Nou. European games are played and judged in two games and you can't take away his premium goofiness in the first leg at home when you had more control and fans backing to change atmosphere into your favour. But weyrey decided to do it the hard way. That's why fans would continue to blame him for this loss.

Fati and Raphinha fit play rubbish, fine. You could see I didn't complain much and was fine with Roberto starting before the match began. But with the way the match progressed, it was very clear Xavi lacks anything called technicality or tacticality.
Everytime Balde bombed forward, you could see how Man Utds defence was really shaky. He could have exploited this with a proper winger in that position. If Balde was enjoying in that position, why won't Fati or Torres do the same if they can just do the basics. The main reason Ten Haag removed that Wan Bissaka. Na there you know coach wey Sabi read match.


Balde is probably the only player and De Jong I could say can raise their heads up after this annoying game.

Anyways, it's clear with things seen in this match that we need a proper RB next season and Kounde isn't cut for it.... He'd struggle over time as that ain't his favoured position and might be outclassed by faster and wittier wingers.
As for Lewandoski, it's clear he needs a replacement or someone to take off his burden ASAP! A left winger is badly needed and to some extent CDM. So I'm glad we're going for Marcus Thuram and Amrabat.

Of every European night heartbreak I've had to endure, na this one pain me pass, We literally had this game in the cusp of our hands but of course ETH outsmarted Xavi in the 2nd 45 once again
If anybody dey troll us for Europe outing recently, e go just dey advisable to lock up cause we are shit

Lost to Benfica
Lost to Bayern
Lost to Frankfurt
Lost to inter
Lost to Bayern twice again this year
Lost to United that had no bearing or footing a year ago
Arghhhh
No be we say we no get players oh

Eth made the difference in this match...first half united were a waste, Eth saw this and only needed halftime break to turn things around... making early game-changing subs.

I wonder if Xavi talks to the players... he's just the Spanish version of Potter.

You can clearly see the dynamics of the game has changed but you're chilling... because you don't know what to do...first thing first, take Roberto out...who is clearly struggling
