Vitor Roque needs to stay and he needs playing time, we need competition in attack, Lewandowski is allowed to get away with playing average just because of that. Even though we have players, we are not using them

[@pq9076]

In my opinion xavi is protecting roque...he know that roque is not ready and adapted yet..he just don't want to put many pressure on roque... imagine roque start a lot of game and he didn't score people would compare him with real madrid player(just my opinion tho)

[@thepigglywiggly1625]

If we're going to talk about useless wingers, Ferran is the one that needs to go. Raphina isn't that flashy Neymar like profile. But he isn't useless either. When xavi started playing him to his strengths, he shines. He's the winger that makes runs behind the defense to go on through. It's just that most of our midfield is too scared to launch that through ball. Too scared to lose possession. On top of that, he tracks back insanely well. Presses well. He'll press all the way to the goalkeep to prove him into a long ball that ends back in our possession. Felix isn't doing that. Ferran isn't doing that. LEWY isn't doing that. Yamal actually does this so I'll give him that. Raphina has only been getting better. Why would we let him go when we can see his progress is evident

[@blaqcvts]

Raphinha isn’t a useless player but he is useless for Barca, as you said he’s good running in behind the defense which is good for teams that counter attack like Leeds in the prem but barca plays 95% of the time against teams with teams parking the bus which makes raphinha’s strengths disappear and he contributes to nothing offensively, can’t believe barca bought him for 60M when it was clear as day that he wasnt suited to our playing style, same shit with ferran, Felix and vítor Roque

[@LoL-yz9pi]

Yeah ferran should leave ....

​@@blaqcvtsuseless he is one of the key players for this season If I remove his performances we could have been kicked out of the group stage ...

[@blaqcvts]

@@LoL-yz9pihe hasn’t been really differential, whenever he was injured no one missed him and lamine has proved to be better than him despite being just 16, raphinha has obviously had good games where he scored important goals or gave important assists but that’s normal in a 40+ game season, for 60M he hasn’t done anything to prove that he was worth it and like I said in the other comment he isn’t suited for our style of play since his main strengths are better suited for a PL style team that counter attacks not a possession based team that relies on wingers that can dribble statically and win 1v1s. He’s still better than flex and ferran tho

[@frankievasquez5641]

Spot on we need at least one pressing forward in modern football and he does that well

No idea why you wanted to attack Raphinha out of all people his goal and assists output is incredible. Ever since that 2nd leg Napoli Game in every game he has started he has Napoli - Assist Atelti - Assist Madrid - Assist PSG - 3 goals Valencia - Assist He is not the guy to blame

[@ravenblackops]

My dude, Raphina has good numbers, but so did Paulinho while playing for Barca, that still doesn't make him a suitable player for Barcelona. From a Barca winger you expect Neymar level, not a player that is struggling to complete a dribble.

[@milanger17]

@@Granglife when xavi had the board somewhat behind him in his first and a half season, he do wonders. He got the players that he actually wants, he won us a league, gave chances to La Masia kids especially Gavi and Balde, all is good. But then this season started and everything changed. Alemany resigned, Deco comes in and had his own plan on who to sign even though xavi didn't want it, Laporta choosing favours to Deco more than to Xavi in terms of signing players, Xavi didn't even want Vitor Roque in the first place yet they choose to bring him in anyway. For me, Xavi has so many disadvantages from injuries, referees, financial situation, and even the board themselves. Yet he still tried his best with this squad and reached the quarter finals of the champions league. But going trophyless for one season can be labelled as failure.

[@Granglife]

@@milanger17 we all know that Laporta and Deco also shoulder some of the blame But can this really be an excuse to Xavi's lack of tactics and system 🤔 We literally have one of the best ball holding lineup in the world yet Ter Stegen keeps being one of our players with the most touches We crumble under pressure every game Yes Laporta and Deco needs to be held accountable but shouldn't Xavi also be held accountable for his poor and passive tactics too right ?

Fermin Lopez is a prime example. There is also Marc Cucurella and Rafinha... definitely not an elite list but I think it also has to do with the way barcelona sign players. Roque is young and talented, but if he isn't in Xavi's plans, then I really don't think it'll hurt him to go on loan. He is a lot different than the likes of Nico Gonzalez, Deulofeu, etc.

@@bobblylou but the thing is, Xavi’s plans do not make any sense… he claims that if players do not perform they will get benched.

But if we want Barcelona to be on top again, we need an experienced coach, and not someone as stubborn and clueless as Xavi.

He reads the game so slow. He only makes up with his speed as a merit. This might sound funny but If he could train as a keeper for some time he would improve his focus and boost the team in the event of possibilities of a GK conceeding a Red card at the same time

[@edmondszilagyi2802]

Chill out bro, i feel you but don't be too harsh. Araujo had made pretty serious mistakes nowadays, but he still one of the world's best CB. If we find a proper pivot this summer, it will help the deffense line. Trust me, Puyol also made crazy mistakes sometimes. (I'm a fan from 2004 and currently reliving that area by watching matches, reading news, even playing with FIFA and PES from that year. And sometimes it's a shock, how differently people remember things from that area. I could talk about this trough hours...) I think Laporta is the best option for us right now. He does everything he could, so he can pull the club out of this situation. I understand Xavi not likes Vitor, but i don't care. It's his job to use him and rotate the squad well. The results are terrible, there is nothing to lose kinda... I think the problem is more like Xavi. I love him, i always loved, but i think he must have to be more creative. It's clear what he wants to do with the squad, but this is not working so we need to change. We need to change mentality for the whole club. That's a nonsense we play Lewa instead of Vitor. We always had these "old and experienced" strikers as a second option, but Xavi need to slowly replace Lewa with Vitor match by match, minutes by minutes. Sure, Lewa can be still great, knows how to score goals sometimes, but we need somebody who can run fast and create opportunities for himself. Maybe Vitor will miss a bunch of chances but he deserves a chance. The truth is, we still know nothing about him because we barely saw him play... Remember Eto'o.. that man had the worst ratio by scoring goals. He missed the net sooo many times, but still he scored a bunch of goals because he could create chances for himself. Ho got the chanse and he was the joy of football next to Ronaldinho.

Barcelona FC biggest problem is not Xavi out the players. Or biggest problem is DECO. no showing director should be so powerful and so visible. He doesn't take orders from Laporta and doesn't confer with Xavi. Araujo has been solid for Barca for 4 strong years, we can't crucify him for two mistakes in one season. Let's learn to build our own. He has saved us countless times. Every player makes mistakes. Last session with Alemany as sporting director and the team having a decent pivot like Busquets in the team our defence was solid. This season Xavi asks for a pivot Deco was busy with his own agenda. With Gavi injured Xavi once again asked for a pivot, but Deco rushed Vitor Roque in. We had a decent backup for Lewandowski in Marc Guiu. Without a pivot our defence was constantly in trouble. First leg against PSG we had Christensen second leg we didn't have him. Someone should pot Deco in check so the team can be built. NB. This does not however excuse the immaturity and favouritism attitude of Xavi.

We can only hope that the moves that the club is making today or yesterday will provide a foundation for a successful team in the future and maybe we have a chance to be great again.

Giving vitor for loan can again prove his quality as a striker. Buying Niko Williams and using him as a left winger and keeping yamal as a right winger and also keeping vitor as a striker can really help barca.

[@popi590]

The easy answer is a new coach, even a younger cheaper coach with a point to prove. Several points you made proves this, one of which is Xavi's inability to adapt to tactical changes made by the opponents in the second halves. Even if he gets the players he wants this problem will remain. The worst part for me about all of these is that in several of his post match interviews he seems to think barca have been the better team and its all down to individual mistakes and to me this is a delusion. If a coach is unwilling to accept that his team played badly I do not see that he has any incentive to improve except to change the players who made mistakes. I mean take Girona game for example k we made mistakes but there was at least 40 minutes to remedy that, mistakes are part of the game and they happen occasional, good teams respond by pressing their opponents but that's not our team. We are simply not playing well overall forget about individual mistakes. I think if he stays on, this will be our level.

I think Barca's main question for Xavi should be where exactly is Pedri good at? Is it on the wing or midfield? Cause I remember he was a winger last season and a midfielder beside De Jong, in this. If that is sorted out, I'll accept that Xavi knows what he is doing. Then we can be thinking of signing an experienced winger that can bench Raphinha, and a distracting 9 that doesn't just wait when not supplied like Lewandowski. Roque obviously can't do that. So, there is really no debate here. If he wants to leave, he can just leave with Ferran and Felix. We need our Fati back too

Our goal is to make 85 points every year with this roster and let the team reconstruct until we can buy what Xavi needs. Laporta was the best option and he had to make risky moves, but ultimately is the best president we could have right now because he has experience it before, same like Xavi, both arrive in a difficult situation in the past and present and manage to take us out the best way possible.

I agree 100%, the problem with Laporta is that he’s not putting first the club but his image, he just doesn’t want to be that person in charge of getting rid of Xavi, he doesn’t want to sell, to me the only few players that should stay at the club next season are; Ter Stegen, Cubarsi, Faye, Gavi, Jamal and Tigrinho, there should not be a discussion about keeping the rest of the team, and once in for all (with all respect to Xavi’s legacy) fire Xavi and give the chance to Rafa Marquez, sign him for one year, he has proven that he can lead Barsa’a new generation of players

[@zayaan7573]

why should pedri araujo and fermin not stay at the club?

[@pr0ism]

I disagree with you about Raphina, and I don't think he should be sold, but we do need the money... I just don't know who we can bring or will want to join Barza that is better than him for a reasonable amount we can afford. But you can see in the last few games he's been the hardest working winger going up and down to recover balls, and probably best threat player have in the squad. I do like Lamine but not over Raphina. Lamine, to me isn't consistent. Some games he puts really good performances and at some he struggles to take players 1v1. And don't like his flops and how easily he goes down. He will be getter better so that's a good thing for us. I also don't think Vitor should be sent out on loan. Most players that go on loan don't get better or work out for Barza. He also didn't get treated fairly and the little amount of time he's been playing isn't enough to show us how good of a player he can become. It's a tough situation with him so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Someone tell Xavi to sub out old Lewandoski instead of starting him or letting him play all game long. He isn't creative, he isn't fast, and worst of all, didn't even hustle in the games where he needed to do more.

[@kaskovic1993]

Ale Moreno is always on point when Barca was very good defensively last season he was the first to tell us!

[@l_a_capone1366]

Xavi has made the the team somewhat like a family and they are supposed to support each other through thick and thin. It is a good but they feel too pampered and feel they’ve done enough for the club but that’s just too naive of them. They should know when to own up to their mistakes and prove them on the pitch but not in post match interviews. They don’t actually know what it means to play for Barca and I don’t blame them because there aren’t those legends and veterans who would have thought them that. I’ve accepted this team would be back but now maybe in 4-5 years time but now is just not it.

[@AbdulRahman-qm7pb]

When Girona scored the 2nd goal i turn off the TV, we don't have a winning mentality, and you can see that after Arujo got the red card against PSG,i mean i got this feeling that we already lost 4 before it even scored.

[@ivangarciaferrer4921]

Individual mistakes had cost us the season really, we have seen it the whole year. Against PSG i though the same, he was our best def player and we didnt have any other defensive profile available in the roster. Our team is not made to defend behind, but that is the point for next season, he have to aquire solid defensive players in the midfield that can play more agressive if we need to, especially now that Gavi is expected to return past the middle of the season

[@jerrys5589]

Barcelona convincing Xavi to stay will not end well next season. Xavi has repeatedly shown that he does not have the level head to manage at this level. He is way out of his depth.

[@its_master_Roshi_Fkrs]

See the major issue both the coach and xavi needs to understand ucl is very far away . I can assure they might make it into semis next season but theyll crash out because they don't have winning mentality or that hunger to bounce back. The players are losing hope and trust with each other. Most importantly xavi should understand what his team lacks and how he can make them better whatever they've. At current state barcelona cant make high profile signing so theyve to make it work with whatever they've. Make the best out of whatever players youve instead of cryijg about it. Give the outfield player the captaincy how can ter stegen gove commands from back. Give it to gundogan he is a ucl winning captain ,he knows how to lead. Also you brought a player from brazil train him to the way you need him to be . What is xavi thinking ?! His job is to make the best out of whatever olayers he have not cry about what he lacks

above anything else the money situation in this club drives me absolutely nuts. never have I seen such irresponsible spending and buying from a club. over 30 million dollar wages for a 36 year old inconsistent striker who can't even pass the ball to his own younger teammates who have a better chance of scoring? buying a young prospect and benching him and completely ignoring him? barca could build a completely dependable team if they were to sell away with the many washed players they have currently and buy or get loaned players that would actually complete their formation of the team but nope xavi laporta and deco would rather pay a washed lewa to do tiktok dances. they deserve to be broke at this point.

[@Ryan-tl1oo]

Respectfully ur comments on Araujo just spoiled the whole video and it also shows the clear issue in our fanbase. I don’t understand how Araujo can do so much for the club then you as a main Barca content creator is gonna come online and foolishly criticize him. To say u don’t see him as a leader anymore because of one single incident is absolutely ridiculous aswell, Araujo is one of the only players in the squad who isn’t mentally weak. As a fanbase we can’t just switch up on our players so quickly. Ppl are so short minded it honestly amazes me.

[@TheOutlierToday]

Real Madrid rarely has any bad signings. Even if they don't do well initially, they eventually find a way to integrate them into the team. I think we should take notes.

[@ivangarciaferrer4921]

Just in the last years: Jovic? Mariano? Hazard?... Everyone has bad signings. The only one bad we had is Ferran because he costed 55M, but at the time it was a good trade he was only 21, excellent for Spain and Pep trusted in him, like a Julian Alavarez type of signing. He just didnt perform well enough. Koundé has been excellent almost every game as a left back and Raphinha showed this year he is a very useful player, the type of player we dont have and has been very consistent despite having some injuries this season, he is now much better adapted.

[@TheOutlierToday]

@ivangarciaferrer4921 those are literally the only ones. We have coutinho, vidal, dembele, traore, malcom and others I don't remember. Also, our current players like de jong never really lived up to his potential. Romeu, alonso, both jaos and now roque. At this point, it is more likely that our signings fail than succeed.

[@ivangarciaferrer4921]

@@TheOutlierToday Bartomeu destroy the club with a terrible administartion, but this one is doing what he can, we would like to bring better players but if your only options are to bring free players and loan players of course you are going to struggle because is not what the team needs, is what we can afford due to the financial fairplay we still suffer from Bartomeu.

[@bibekmaharjan9014]

gavi is such a huge player we realize after the disaster

[@joelmilambo7850]

What this club needs to do is good decisions which they don't A great or even a good coach will use what is at his disposal to the fullest and adapt to that. Xavi has not quite adapted to it. If you see Madrid they brought Joselu for free and he's being used not all the time but at least consistently for him to have a god chemistry and also at the end possibly score goals. What does Xavi do with Roque? Nothing. Also young players treatments are becoming annoying in the club. If you have 2 players younger than 20 play the same position why not rotate them so that they don't get tired for their age but they also get experience and become happy. Only using Cubarsi is not ideal when you know you can rest him and play Faye at the same position and give him chances to get better. Also another problem is the way Xavi acts when something doesn't go according to plan he doesn't keep his composure which reflects to the players directly. the same guy who never received a red card as a plater is receiving more than 5 red cards in one season more than Sergio Ramos and that is worrying. it is not good for the team and everyone. They also really need to have a winner mentality and stop making stupid mistakes. There is so much this club needs to make to be at least a good club again. but where would we start. Xavi is trusted for everything and he's not living to the expectation.we kill our games ourselves and it's not even the opponents who are just plain better. the same defence last season that was resilient is now weak and fragile and constantly makes mistakes during games. And worse is their transfer strategy. they can cash in Garcia but noooo Xavi wants him to stay.. for what to be a backup and never play just like last season? And at the end of the year it will be the same all over again. we don't buy players at the right time and we don't sell them at the right time which is something really annoying and shameful for a big club like this. Xavi Simons could have come on a free and be sent on loan but Xavi didn't want him to be at the club. Now we're hearing Xavi wanting him for next season after he has signed a new contract. A lot to change

[@ethanpenaranda5518]

We’re running out of time, we make poor inflated signings and waste resources chasing name players instead of snatching up tactical/developmental signings when they appear, not only are we going broke but we’re losing our appeal from our glory years which makes less star players believe in Barca

[@ibrahimsaeed0521]

You are absolutely right about raphinha. I think raphinha should be sold in any case even if xavi leaves or not, raphinha is so shit at dribbling its actually annoying to watch, we need fast players who are wuick and counter attacks and know how to fucking shoot a ball, raphinha cant shoot if his life depended on it, its annoying af. Only thing i could give him credit for is the fact that he creates, but his decision making is so shit he crumbles under pressure and tbh if he cant beat his man wtf is the point. Sign nico first and then bring up a winger from la masia asa back up, way better option than raphinha, the way raphinha creates chances any winger given the same space would be able to ddo the same. Its not outstanding whatt he does. And for sure it isnt upto the quality barca should keep. If dembele didnt leave yamal and dembele on that side, dembele doesnt know how to shoot for shit but atleast we would be an attacking threat. if an offer for de jong arrives above 60M sell him and buy simins and nico williams, other than these two we really need a cam and cdm, cdm like zybimendi or onana would be great, and ANY CAM (other than simons) who is cheap and reliable and has the ability to shoot outside the box. One thing ive learnt is that raphinha and lewa cannot be trusted to score goals. Both of them are shut down by any top defense only preforming when chances are handed to them (like the psg match, raphinha scored sitters, playing bad the whole game but ill give him the benefit of the doubt because he scored). We need players who can change the game on their own. Nico should be our first priority along WITH a top class cdm, and the other thing we should do is not sign both jaos, they are too expensive, and both of them are not worth it. Cancelo u can argue he is worth the price, but we all have seen how bad he is defensively, im not just talking about the psg match or the matxhes after. Ive watched the whole season teams exploit the side where cancelo plays. He cant mark his man and that leaves space open for goals, only thing he can provide us is artacking threat but in that too he is too selfish. Speaking of selfish lewa needs. To be sold asap. Last year of his contract get him out and never thinking of buying a player above 27 again. Our focus should be to make a squad that dominates in the years to come. Buying players who can only assist u for 2 years isnt going to help. Real madrid buys players going to their prime and we buy players who are pushing 30 and are in their decline. They shouldnt even of bought lewa in the first place, instead if they would of gotten halland or someone who was cheaper back then where would have we been. Dumbass people are in charge of this club and it shows. U had aubaymeyang, and u sold him for lewa. Aubaymeyang is 3rd top scorer in europe for marsielle. And where is lewa. The whole season he didnt do anything when it mattered most. Scoring a hattrick against valencia but dissapearing when it matters. Honestly banter club man.
