This loss is on Xavi more than it is on the players. His inexperience really showed in this game playing Raphinha out of position, predictable plays involving Dembele’s crosses, Lewa isolated in the middle, not subbing off Gavi early, it was all a mess last night
Xavi isn’t ready yet,now I see why laporta was hesitant to appoint him in the beginning,zero experience at the highest level,zero backup tactics,zero pragmatism
Xavi is predictable & that's a problem like we have enough players to change the kessie should have started it doesn't make sense you have all this players yet some are not given a chance.. Had we taken our chances this video would not have came.
Yeh and should avoid favouritsm of some players because it affects us in certain moments because we should have used Kessie instead of busi and Alejandro for Alonso they just don't seem to have life against big teams
Exactly, I absolutely 100% agree with you But you know what's unfortunate, (I am usually praiseworthy of xavi, but this time I'm critical) the unfortunate thing is that even if de Jong was fit, xavi would have still started gavi. And I'm not saying that gavi is the reason for our loss, but de Jong makes a huge difference against these kind of oppositions
@@hkar4385 You are delusional. Both Pedri, Gavi and Busquets have higher average rating than De Jong. There is a reason why Barcelona wants to bring in Bernardo Silva to the team. De Jong doesnt bring anything special to the team.
Look how Vitinha is playing at PSG. The passes he makes, absolute phenomenal. We need someone like him in the midfield which qualities Gavi does not possess. Only high press is not enough. We need midfielders who can shoot outside the box against low block teams.
We had riqiue puig who does what vitinha does but xavi didn't want play him. Sad. Idk if Kessler can do much better then gavi but Frenkie definitely can and does hope he is clear starter next to pedri
I don’t want us to beat them at home, I want us to crush their hopes and dominate them. If we can’t respond like that, our moral is just going to tank.
My main problem in this game was Xavi’s decision of playing Gavi instead of Kessie right from the beginning and gambling with Raphinha’s position. He had that all wrong. Hope he learns as soon as possible and make the necessary changes that will bring us victory come Wednesday next week. About being robbed, I really can’t say much. Football can be messy at times to your own detriment. We just have to move past these, focus on winning and all of this will be behind us. Visca Barça 💙❤️
Then who will do the job of hounding down the ball ?? A dismantler should be there in the team and bc our CDM doesn't do it and is too slow. This is the reason Xavi plays Gavi over Kessie.
I also prefer Kessie or DeJong should be the right interior. But to pull it off Busi has to do job of hounding down the ball which he is unwilling to do bc he's too slow.
@@pemzg That's why Busi shouldn't play games like these anymore. Also Balde should've started on the left and Raphinha should've started on the right wing. Ansu on the left wing would've been a better option. You shouldn't gamble with positions when you're about to play a Champions League game, just use your best available players in the starting 11.
@@ModernLove100 I concur with you on every point. I just want to add that we don't have any other CDM at our armour. The biggest mistake the board did was to not look for a CDM in the summer window and use Busquets for another season.
@@ModernLove100 I genuinely wish that the board shouldn't wait for another summer and immediately bring in Ruben Neves in the January window. And if we somehow get through the group stage , we can immediately use Neves in the knock outs .
Bro we literally hype up our players so much but none can turn up for big games everyone bar Pedri and lewandowski are average and wouldn’t start for any top club atm
Xavi won't take the blame on himself just like Koeman, he is just taking about the robbery of the game. But what would have change if the official gave Barcelona a goal or penalty? Xavi should drop Busquets and gavi, and should introduce a double pivot into midfield for De jong and Kessie....... and should speak to Dembele, he doesn't let the wing back on his wing overlap !!!
@@Sasquatch10 really? With this strong squad there no explanation about a defeat. First of all Xavi should have lost the game against bayern Munchen and Inter Milan. It because of his poor decision of always player Gavi and Busquets........!!
The international break is still a problem Xavi needs to fix because the same scenario happened last season. I hope this is the last match we loose this month and going forward. Kessie should be starting this kind of games
I love Gavi but we have got Kessie in the squad who is a monster to me as a physical specimen. We need to use him more also de Jong. Gavi has time in his hand to improve let's not put him in the big game everytime.
This is what a lot of people are saying, but xavi is not seeing it. Kessie needs to start in games and gavi be a replacement. I truly don't get why he doesn't get a lot more play time
Focus on qualifying????bro we are going to be eliminated.. No way we are going to beat bayern and I don't see we beating inter also in home game.. The best we can think of is a draw.. Somehow I am getting the vibes of last year... When we were beaten 3 0 by benfica.. Somehow fear it will repeat next week
In the first half Dembele was all alone. They just gave him the ball and just left him, no overlapping from the fullback. On the right side Raphina tucked in and Alonso just wasted the chance.
that is the challenge we have had for some time, we have the players & we have to play as a team, these are games we learn & develop. We need someone to be in that middle who could be firing at long range
Dude hats off to you even after the craziest of nights where we were humiliated you still came on did your production hats off💜💜💜💜 it's only your energy that keeps me motivated x optimistic about future barca💜💜💜💜💜💜
The game we played at last weekend and the game we played yesterday was both decided by the magic of a single player. In the last weekend's match, it was Lewi's magical goal which won us the game, and in yesterday's match, it was Calenhalu's magical goal that give us second straight defeat in champion league this season. Yes we were robbed in yesterday's match but we have to also accept that we were also not so good in that match.
Man Onana was goated yesterday he made so many important saves I’m Cameroonian 🇨🇲 and he should play for us like that during the World Cup. VISCA BARÇA 🔴🔵
That's why xavi needs to change his game plan. Put players in who can go against that. He needs to find a solution soon, because now every team will start using this against barca and it will just feel frustrating every single time!
@@olujuwonolawoyin3067 That is the main point. Pedri is the only player that can create and he played deeper against Inter. Gavi should be the one playing deeper since Inter didn't even come out.
I think we have come to a stage where Ansu HAS to be starting in the LW position for us..we need to give him the run of games and that confidence again.. Never start raphina in the LW again..he and dembele should be competing for the RW
I don't know why he started Gavi instead of Kessie who is a physical beast in the midfield! The man has probably the most experience playing against Inter come on, he literally beat them out to the Serie A title last year! And no disrespect to Gavi he was awesome in Bayern match but he had a bad match, he lost lot of balls and was ineffective going forward. We missed De Jong and if he wasn't there you had to play Kessie..not in the last 10 minutes of the game! Only Pedri and Dembele really delivered for me
We have to remember that Xavi is still very inexperienced , for me there isn’t anyone better for us but I hope that he can learn a lot from nights like yesterday to not make the same mistake again , people make mistakes but doing them over and over is a what our previous managers did and if destroyed us 🇪🇸🙏
Raphinha is great but he needs to play on the right wing, that's his natural position. You can't judge him when Xavi constantly forces him to play out of position
Raphina was out of position . He’s a natural left foot he should be on right wing , Dembele is comfortable on both feet idk why xavi didn’t put him on the left instead
I think Xavi also really needs to put trust in the players he has and give some of them game time. Because I believe if Kessie came in earlier he would have made a difference.
I hope Xavi learnt that a midfield of Pedri and Gavi simply doesn't work. You meed a more physical presence like a Kessie and also Lewandowski needs to turn up in big games. Also relying on Dembele to create by doing cross and hope neefs to stop
Believe me or Mark it the next game will be Pedri and Gavi in midfield. Did xavi looks like someone that learn or ready to learn from yesterday even before yesterday? NO. I have been saying this since last season padri and Gavi can't play together. I let go of last season because I thought he think nobody to rotate the two not knowing his inexperience and favouritic has over shadow his judgment. I miss Pep
Barcelona allowed Lewandowski become isolated from game but did not adjust its game .Inter quickly found out that there is no any threat from other players of Barca except Lewandowski .Inter marked Lewandowski with 3 defenders and cut him off passes and that was it. Barca was toothless because noone stepped up to help Lewandowski or used the space he created by his constant fight with defenders. Barca's midfield was lost There were not piercing passes forward only side ones .Tens of fruitless passes that only slowed Barca's game and gave Inter momentum to prepare defense. Barca should play faster 1-2 contacts game. Tiki taka is obsolete because posession doesn't win games only goals do. Playing with one striker against italian team is a great mistake since these teams play better defense then most of the teams playing in CL. Bayern defeated Inter by playing high pressing and 1-2 contacts game without tens of passes and fruitless dribblings.
May have been robbed but it was also shooting yourself in the foot. Honestly was surprised kessie didn't start inno considering he know inter inside out. When i saw the lineup ik it was a L. Alonso stay chasing shadows cause he's slow af so that means raphinha was gonna have to pretty much play deep to support him instead of high in attack leaving that left side dead. Which all means it was down to dembele alone for pace n creating out wide resulting in men just easily doubling or tripling on him leaving lewa frozen. If you're going to cater to height play pique instead of alonso n put balde next to him for the legs. Leaving the lw to be free allowing more space for the front 3 to work n pedri to slot in any holes as a attacking 4 with the late runs 🤦♂️
we simply struggle really hard to break down 10 men defenses! against bayern we created alot of chances but as soon as we dont get alot of space our attack has no plan and then the non stop crossing starts without any outcome...
Carragher opened a new world of controversy when he said the Var is Dutch and Dumfries is Dutch lol.. it should be looked into though but can't deny Dembele/Raphinha/Lewandowski were very underwhelming!
I felt after that Pedri goal, Barcelona would tear Inter Milan apart,so much so that their entire season would be wrecked. But they were very passive. That hurt the most.
Kessie know inter quite well so was surprised when he didn’t start yesterday. Doesn’t matter anyway, even if we scored again the ref would have found a way to make it disallowed. You could see the ref panicking when we called for a penalty for handball, it was like even before he viewed the VAR, his decision was already made
Xvai is using the club as a practing ground for the Spanish National Team and so he constantly consider his spanish brothers even when he knows that most of them play but lack the experiences and most of them are physically not good enough for certain games, example, comparing Frank Kessi to Gavi iñ starting lineup for the inter game was just a mess. Benching Kessi for Gavi.
Xavi should use Kessie more often.. Its a poor treatment considering his quality & tenacity.. Xavi should try Kessie & FDJ as double pivot with Pedri as the AMF.. One of the pivot could make great runs to the box
Robbed? 100% But we cant rely on ref decisions to draw or win, tactically we were awful, no idea at all. This one is on Xavi, I know we lack some players due to injuries, but we struggled in attack mostly, because there was no idea of what to do.
Jamie, the last minute of this video was truly inspiring to me.. Your analysis were on point.. If we had played our best we do not have to rely on referee decision You are a true fan ❤️💙
Thank you Jamie for exposing the VAR official from the Netherlands who was in charge in the UCL back to back Barca games against Bayern in Munich and against Inter in Milan.Perhaps the guy is a Bayern fan and want's to punish Barca for having lured Lewandoksi to Barcelona. UEFA have to ensure that they do not have this kind of thing otherwise it will be seen as a scandal to ensure some teams like Barca are eliminated unfairly.
Shout out to Jamie, seeing all his videos since 2016 I was a college student in culinary. Now I’m a sous chef. TalkFCB has come a long way. Much respect!
I'm not angry because of the defeat I'm angry because the referees and the var officials are all against barcelona in back to back games and no actions has been taken to end this shit... this really hurts me i can't get this off my head 😫 😭
@@hkar4385 ur missing the point lmao I dont care you say we played bad or not it still wont change the fact that we were robbed 3 times today and we should have won.The refs and var cost us an important 3 points we deserved the win
Watching this game.....I think we really need the return of Messi to create for us to score many goals....because I feel like we needed someone like him in this game
I'm angered by the way we perform I'm angered by the the way it seems our coaches never seem to get it right after pep/ Louis and I'm angry about our team always getting robbed by these....I can't even find the words for these bad bad officials
One of the problems that we have is tht apart from Pedri,we dont have midfielders who can create chances for our forwards.We dont have the kind of midfieders who can navigate thru tight spaces to create opportunities for iur forwards especially when our opponents sit back.We end up rotating the ball or playing it wide to wingers who just cross the ball into the area
They didn't get a chance, they created one. Our midfielders can't create a combination with an ultimatum for a goal nor do they see a shot, inter took a shot just outside the box which we could have done several times - Busi, Gavi, Pedri, Raphi, Dembele. We also want to play possession but we passed at the same rhythm and expected a different outcome. We need to learn to play without the ball. And when we are on the ball we need to be able to switch gear not just in the last 8mins of injury time.
Jimmy I think our players need to be mature in this competition including xavi because this competition is not just there.we need midfield runs pedri tried We need midfielders to unlock such defenses plus we need creative wingbacks Balde was taking on defenders
I feel that Fati’s handball, as inadvertent as it was, slowed the ball up for Pedri’s easy tap in. Even putting the earlier dubious Inter offside call and Eric Garcia handball aside, yes a handball should have been called against Inter towards the end. While a PK is not a sure thing Barca should have had a chance for the draw. That said, Barca did not play well and Inter actually played well and their defensive tactics were excellent, so I’m not surprised by the outcome. Lewandowski only got 4 touches and when he did he was instantly mugged by Inter defenders. Dembele was making good runs & penetrations but, no Barca players were making runs towards goal to receive a pass. Overall, midfield play was poor. Kessie, with his Serie A experience, should have been subbed in so much earlier, and really should have started. While I can see Barca avenging this loss to Inter in the rematch, I don’t see this team beating Bayern, even at the Camp Nou. Clearing the group stage is not impossible, but it will be difficult.
How on earth handball was given in the case of Fati but not in the case of Dumfries. I still can't belive it. But we tactically outsmarted by Inter's Tactics. Xavi surely took a risk of playing Alonso over Balde. But now there is no room for error. We only have 3 games and we need to win all 3 to make sure that we can proceed to next round.
@@hkar4385 Yes. And I think we face this issue every time when we face defensively very good team. I hope that Xavi will find a solution for this problem, because if we can't break them down next week then I think a draw also can be a very bad result for us.
Regardless of the calls someone other than Lewa has to start consistently scoring unlike Man City, Barca hasn’t shown any real secondary scoring which will make them easy to defend.
If we took our chances in the first half, or even earlier in the second, If the Right decisions were made, the goals they robbed us of wouldn't have mattered.
What I've been saying! We can whine all day long about the nullfied goal and bad penalty decision, but if we have to stoop that low just to get a win, we are fucked.
@@adityawillie1533 well we did score a goal and were robbed of the goal. its like what more can we do. we definitely were not good enough but we also had a completely fair goal we were robbed of. and yesterday even a draw would've been crucial to qualify.
@@bobthesqu1d620 Like I said, if Barca performed better, we wouldn't really care about the one nullified goal, would we? What more can Barca do? Perform better.
Barça had 34 crosses. 24 from Dembele alone. Lewy was in the box, everyone else stayed on the edge of the box. Like Jamie said, what can he do when the defense is on him. Barça had no answer. The game changed a bit when Ansu came in. Barça always struggle against defensive teams. De Jong would have been a good option if fit
Xavi mustn't fall into the trap that Koeman did, letting one tactic be our game plan. We need to see individual brilliance by each player. P.S i completely agree with your scandalous point. It definitely seemed like a "calculated mistake" as well as it being the same official in charge of VAR
Xavi has one advantage over Koeman in that he's still a new and inexperienced coach, but having been backed so well this summer in terms of transfers he needs to learn, and fast.
This game had glimpse of city chelsea final... Where Pep did some so obvious mistakes and took too long to correct them. Game was over by then! And even thr goal was conceded on half end if I'm not wrong. We have made errors on managerial level
Bc Busi is only for ball distribution & nothing else. Gavi has to do his dirty work of hounding down the ball bc Busi is slow. So the creative work falls on the shoulder of Pedri. You should be thankful that even being positioned deep to help lazy Busquets he was able to create chances for the forwards.
there are very big advantages playing against a team back to back that I think favor Barca. if we learn from our mistakes and work to get the first goal, Inter will need to throw numbers forward and I think the flood gates will open. I can honestly seeing us scoring 4 or 5 goals next week...once the dam is breached, we will see what barca is capable of
After Having Robert Lewandoski And Ousmane Dembele And Raphinha This Is Possible! Totally Annoying And Disappointing Performance By Barcelona! I Am Really Missing You Barcelona Legend Lionel Messi! I Love You Very Much Barcelona Legend Lionel Messi! I Love You Very Much Barcelona! Better Luck Next Time To Barcelona! I Hope That Barcelona Should Make A Comeback Soon! Love From Bangladesh And Barisal.
Your text is almost unreadable because you capitalise every word, why do it? It wastes time, looks terrible, and is difficult to read. However I appreciate your optimism!
Dembele was dealing with 2 inter players, where is the Full back supporting him? If the flanks don't work, why team not playing through the middle through quick passes? Zero penetrative passes. 50 crosses and 13 corners not took advantage of?
The Purist Football’s channel analyzed this game perfectly.. Against Mallorca when Barcelona were finding no space on the wings.. what did they do? They kept pushing on the wings.. Barcelona made no adjustments! And the same happened in this game! Unfortunate.. next game we gotta be better
We're gonna beat celta by 3 and still loose in the ucl because we lack intensity, movement and also clinical finishing..even lower teams take their chances and we loose ..xavi needs to act now.
Yes we deserved to get those decisions in our favour with var... But that doesn't take away the fact that we were absolutely pathetic... Its not just ystrdy.. The game against mallorca was also the same... There were hints in that game also that we had dropped our levels.. Honestly I don't see this team improving now.. The signs are there to see .. It will be the same as last season. Europa and a top 4 finish.. We can't expect much more especially with all the injuries that we have.. won't be surprised if we get defeated in home games against both inter and bayern... Cant understand the excuse of not scoring against teams that sit behind.. What do u expect then.. They will attack and give advantage to us.. They defend well and when they get a chance they score and win.. Thats the game play for them.. If u can't break them down with ur normal game change ur game plan and not wait for them to give us a chance to score
Any time we move the ball slowly: 1. the performance of the whole team drops, 2. players become lazy, 3. The opponent becomes more confident 4. We create less chances 5. and fans feel that the game is boring, 6. In the end, we draw or loose the game
I’m pissed. Yeah, the officials messed up, and I believe that cannot keep happening, surely there is something to do about it (in general). But I’m more pissed because of our performance and this is the thing I'd rather focus on, because there we have any impact on. So yes, Xavi has lost the plot tactically (this loss is on him more than on players IMO), our wingers are either not being used how they should (Raphinha) or their work is meaningless (Dembele’s crosses), and there is also important fact that ppl keep ignoring as we are too focused/reliant on wing play/wingers: the midfield ain't creative enough to make something happen in attack, as well (Look, how many goal contributions they have in this season vs. how it looks for example in City...). Then, there is literally half of our squad being injured. How are we supposed to turn this around? The draw is enough for Inter to send us back to Europe, you just know they will do everything to make this happen. Then, even if we win against them, the situation is still tough, considering there is a possibility that Inter could take some points vs. Bayern as they will be already qualified. We're in a very tough spot in UCL, and in the LaLiga important matches with so many players injured. Uhhhh. I'm mad. No hope left in me, just want this season to end.
I stated from the very beginning that Xavi will need to learn on the job. He is doing well overall but making mistakes here and there. I think he will do well over time. Barca is also doing well overall One game does not make a season. People have a tendency to overreact when Barca wins or looses. They will beat Inter and get a point or three against Bayern at home and go through to the next round. I also think the midfield trio of Busquests, Xavi and Pedro is not working. They do not have balance. The four players that disappointed me most in the last game were Lawandoski, Gavi, Raphina and Alonzo. Dembele was our only offensive threat. Statistics like how many times one loses the ball sometimes makes no sense. Messi loses lots of balls because he is the one trying to make things happen. If you do not take chances, you will not lose the ball. Dembele made some good crosses and tried to mix it up with dribbling that were almost successful. It is not his fault that you had no players in the end of the crosses. He was the one that created the disallowed goal and hit the post. I think him and Sane of Bayern for whatever reason get critiqued a lot even though they are probably the best attacking option for their teams. Makes no sense.
Our injury list: Araujo, Memphis, Kounde, Frenkie, Christensen, Kessie and Bellerin. We need to face an Inter side who simply has to park the bus and get a draw at Camp Nou. We have never played well against teams that sit deep and have a low block under Xavi. We simply do not have the creative players who can work in tight spaces and break such teams down. We need acres of space. Winning alone against Inter will be tough, but doing so with multiple goals for head-to-head record is gonna be a pain in the ass. Then we have to get a result against Bayern at home. I simply cannot see us beating them without a fit Araujo and Kounde. And people think Viktoria Plzen away is a guaranteed 3 points. It never is, not on the final day if we desperately need 3 points, and the home team has nothing to play for and the crowd is behind them. We are absolutely fucked. I'm mentally preparing for a Europa League exit, cause I can't go through the disappointment of last season again, where I believed till the last second.
Xavi got the tactic all wrong yesterday! Gavi, Busquet, Alonso, Raphina shouldn't have started. The team is well balance with Ansu on the right! Xavi need to trust him. Memphis Depay is another great option. We need to stop forcing Raphinha and Dembou playing together, it doesn't work. Xavi also need to consider giving Dembou the free role. The guy is so creative, and we just tuck him on the side wasting all of his creativity, he needs the freedom to roam where the game takes him.
angered me too bro ,i have been so miserable since the loss and the robbery . i honestly also feel like the injuries has a impact as we lost confidence in losing our cb duo and fdj . we need to come back stronger .
I still don’t understand well what Gavi brings to the table more than Kessie and Frankie. He has the fighting spirit and is strong but I don’t trust him to create especially over De Jong
We want players who have guts to play the ball forward.. In la Liga the pressure is not that much the one at the UCL stage... Biscuits only chooses safe option... And we can point out many more things
What i still can't understand about this team is why do we always have to wait for the opponent to score before we get serious We see that everytime especially against big teams i don't understand. Why not hit them immediately from the start
even if Frankie was fit to play, together with kessie. xavi would still play gavi Pedri and busi.. it's just today that people now see it.. and Mark my words next game he will play them again...
I feel like Xavi is playing too cautiously with his players. Constantly looking to rest them instead of making necessary changes to the squad in order to make a difference. He needs to learn when to go all in for the win.
Any team that sits deep against us, we are in able to find solutions. Xavi' plays a predictable system. But his choice of players are not unpredictable. That is the problem. If when are face with such defence line Fati and Memphis are the only two wingers who can bring unpredictability. We saw this against Mallorca from Fati. Even Ferran can be little unpredictable. Between Rhaphinhna and Dembele one must be playing from the bench or both. Then Gavi is good but he is not dynamic. He needs to learn that. I have always said Frenkie and Kessie should be chosen over Gavi.
I don’t understand why xavi started Alonso. I could kind see why against Bayern because we knew Bayern will come out us, so Alonso technical ability would help. But in this game, we knew that inter will sit deep. We needed a Lb who is explosive aka balde not Alonso. Also, the position that xavi put raphinha is far better suited for ferran or fati.
Look at this backward trend: 2018/19: Semi-finals 2019/20: Quarter finals 2020/21: Round of 16 (2nd in the group) 2021/22: 3rd in the UCL group and Quarter final exit in UEL 2022/23: It surely can't be worse
gavi is a monster playing against spanish teams but that game was vs italian team we needed 1 creative player (pedri) and an italian experienced ex-player ( f. kessie) i hope xavi will realize that b4 the next stop
The real Barca style of play of late used to beat any opponent team who intends to defend deeply, this was because of a sensational midfielders and fearful attackers. Anytime the attackers are left with no by opposing defenders, the MDs comes in to cause danger but this thread is no longer the same with Busi,Gavi, and Pedri. Xavi should be dynamic with that midfield option anytime the arise since he have squad depth.
“They thought it was Fati” but Christina Unkel said it was because “they didn’t have the footage that showed it yet”. They can’t even get their excuses together. She really tried to defend both Pedri’s goal being disallowed and Dumfries penalty not being called until she was backed in a corner by the post game cast
8:44 the answer to the question “Whats the point of VAR?” Is: now we know UEFA or at least referees can be corrupt. These decisions were not innocent. This is what VAR is showing us.
I think the constant dependence on Dembele was a major fault in our lack of effectiveness in the final third. Kessié should have come on much earlier if not started the game. We needed players who could cut in and play directly into the defensive wall. Dembele goes on the outside around the defender to create space for a cross or cut back. That generally doesn't work when players are stacked in the area. Attackers who cut in and dribble through the defensive line force errors and can win free kicks and even penalties. Pedro should have played with Kessié instead of Gavi.
For how long Busquets is starting for Barcelona and we are planning to renew him We all know the fact he is getting old now Frankie or Kessei can play his role
This is the second time i dont watch talkfcb video as soon as he uploads it, the first one was against bayern, because it really pains now to lose but before i was like used to it
I said it before and will say it again xavi decision making will cost us this season, as Barcelona fans we all love gavi and he's a great young players, but you can't convince me that he's the better option than de Jong or kessie even busquet should be drop period.
The serious issue is, Xavi midfielders don't create opportunities for the forwards except Pedri......... and "PLEASE" gavi is still young to start over Kessie or De jong if he was fit. Is he there for Barcelona or the future of Spanish players ?
@@badttwpenphis1327 it's true , the sporting director for Barcelona wanted to sign the Brazilian right back Dodo for Barcelona but Xavi just wanted Azpiliqueta !!!
Questionable tactics. Crossing and insha'Allah doesn't always work. Goals should come from all players From defenders to midfielders. Attempt shots from outside the box. Ball over the top. Sergi Roberto was so poor yesterday
Maybe dembele is not as good as we think. He's been pocketed in back to back UCL games now. In hindsight, i think raphina would have been better at RW last night
Sincerely speaking , Xavi messed up yesterday. How on earth will he wait till that odd hour to make a key change. It was as if he was not watching the match. Again, the referee was just a fool big time. What stop's him from going to check the hand ball himself just as he did to Barca . I see the game as fixed.
We were denied a penalty and a clear Pedri goal.. That should have won it There is little much you could do if the ref is against you. Same referee over saw the Bayern game and denied a clear penalty for a foul on Dembélé and Lucas admitted it after the game. Inter overloaded their midfield and defended deep so you don't expect a game with so much goals these little details count. I am gutted by the result anyways Xavi has his share of work to do. At Camp nou we stumping them.. Can't wait 🤏
We need time to create a solid structure. The system and structure the team is trying to build will take time.. We all hailed the team while they won, we hailed the coach so well for every win game. We have to stand by the team now ND support them. Games can be emotional, let's understand this is a matter of building into the future.. Visca!
You're right my fellow culer. But Xavi has to shoulder majority of the blame for our loss against Inter Milan yesterday. Gavi wasn't in the game yesterday and it was clear for every Barca fan yesterday but he played for over 80 minutes. Why didn't Xavi subbed off gavi after first half and bring on Kessie who could match Inter Milan in terms of physicality and experience for having played for AC Milan in serie A and has even won the scudetto. Then there's a certain slow Alonso guy who Xavi thought deserved starting ahead of a young, exciting,strong etc Alejandro balde who in all aspects of football is better than Alonso except age. Xavi should stop being racist and egoistic and do things the right way.
If anything this game showed it's that Frenkie needs to be in the starting 11, Kessie should've started, Raphinha should only play on the right wing and Balde should've played as the LB. Putting Alonso in the starting 11 of a Champions League game when he has hardly played with the team is just stupid. Roberto could've started as the RB Busi shouldn't make that many minutes anymore, especially not in Champions League games. Kessie gave more stability. Dembele should learn how to make better decisions.
Please stop complaining about the referee decision. We lost it in the first 65 minutes when we decided to play slow possession game. Inter knew exactly what they were going to do whereas we were found wanting in our game plan. That Xavi brought the substitutes very late is what frustrates me
Why shouldn’t we complain? Isn’t the referee’s decision part of the game??? Yes, Xavi made mistakes but still, those decisions cost us. So, stop saying we shouldn’t complain about it🙄
Still can't believe what we saw last night...
Disgrace
Don’t know how we are going to come back from this
JAMIE I agree with you 100 percent. And what you are doing is fair critisism after analysing the game. Ita not ESPN and their bullshit observation.
Totally Disappointing Performance By Barcelona! Love From Bangladesh And Barisal.
didnt fifa change their rules to like if there is an accidental hand ball in the build up to a goal from a player who didnt score, its not handball?
This loss is on Xavi more than it is on the players. His inexperience really showed in this game playing Raphinha out of position, predictable plays involving Dembele’s crosses, Lewa isolated in the middle, not subbing off Gavi early, it was all a mess last night
Agreed
Agree
Thank you for speaking the truth. This is the most sensible comment here. That Barca was robbed is sheer nonsense.
Xavi isn’t ready yet,now I see why laporta was hesitant to appoint him in the beginning,zero experience at the highest level,zero backup tactics,zero pragmatism
Yep. He's slow
Robbed, yes, but we were tactically outsmarted by Inzaghi. That's what we must remember, Xavi has to improve on this.
Well taught... you're right bro
Xavi is predictable & that's a problem like we have enough players to change the kessie should have started it doesn't make sense you have all this players yet some are not given a chance..
Had we taken our chances this video would not have came.
@@mutakalilumoadvancy3460 I agree. If we're going to play high press Kessie should be starting over Busquets.
Yeh and should avoid favouritsm of some players because it affects us in certain moments because we should have used Kessie instead of busi and Alejandro for Alonso they just don't seem to have life against big teams
@@lRydeRdiel Xavi is also to blame if you're seeing that your game plan isn't work make changings right away improve ur game & play.
We missed de jong in that midfield🔥
Exactly, I absolutely 100% agree with you
But you know what's unfortunate, (I am usually praiseworthy of xavi, but this time I'm critical) the unfortunate thing is that even if de Jong was fit, xavi would have still started gavi. And I'm not saying that gavi is the reason for our loss, but de Jong makes a huge difference against these kind of oppositions
De Jong provides that balance in midfield
Pedri Gavi Busquets is not a good trio
@@hkar4385 You are delusional. Both Pedri, Gavi and Busquets have higher average rating than De Jong. There is a reason why Barcelona wants to bring in Bernardo Silva to the team. De Jong doesnt bring anything special to the team.
@@krowaswieta7944 you should be ashamed of writing this
Shut up
Look how Vitinha is playing at PSG. The passes he makes, absolute phenomenal. We need someone like him in the midfield which qualities Gavi does not possess. Only high press is not enough.
We need midfielders who can shoot outside the box against low block teams.
We had riqiue puig who does what vitinha does but xavi didn't want play him. Sad. Idk if Kessler can do much better then gavi but Frenkie definitely can and does hope he is clear starter next to pedri
Frenkie De Jong is perfect
Xavi should have let Kessie start the game because he has experienced such physical game before.
I don’t want us to beat them at home, I want us to crush their hopes and dominate them. If we can’t respond like that, our moral is just going to tank.
You already lose to both of them lol
My main problem in this game was Xavi’s decision of playing Gavi instead of Kessie right from the beginning and gambling with Raphinha’s position. He had that all wrong. Hope he learns as soon as possible and make the necessary changes that will bring us victory come Wednesday next week.
About being robbed, I really can’t say much. Football can be messy at times to your own detriment. We just have to move past these, focus on winning and all of this will be behind us.
Visca Barça 💙❤️
Then who will do the job of hounding down the ball ?? A dismantler should be there in the team and bc our CDM doesn't do it and is too slow. This is the reason Xavi plays Gavi over Kessie.
I also prefer Kessie or DeJong should be the right interior. But to pull it off Busi has to do job of hounding down the ball which he is unwilling to do bc he's too slow.
@@pemzg That's why Busi shouldn't play games like these anymore.
Also Balde should've started on the left and Raphinha should've started on the right wing.
Ansu on the left wing would've been a better option.
You shouldn't gamble with positions when you're about to play a Champions League game, just use your best available players in the starting 11.
@@ModernLove100 I concur with you on every point. I just want to add that we don't have any other CDM at our armour. The biggest mistake the board did was to not look for a CDM in the summer window and use Busquets for another season.
@@ModernLove100 I genuinely wish that the board shouldn't wait for another summer and immediately bring in Ruben Neves in the January window. And if we somehow get through the group stage , we can immediately use Neves in the knock outs .

Exactly
Exactly! Play well, score goals and win games. Then VAR decision will be inconsequential. Barca needs to stop crying and improve. Simple as that
@@ManOfGod89 yep if we were up 2-0 then a VAR decision shouldn't matter
Bro we literally hype up our players so much but none can turn up for big games everyone bar Pedri and lewandowski are average and wouldn’t start for any top club atm
Xavi needs to take blame tho. He messed up and he is under massive pressure
Xavi is so Stuck in his ways and wouldn’t listen or well come new ideas to enhance the johan cruyff philosophy
Xavi messed up but i don't think he's deserving of "massive pressure". We're first in LaLiga and the UCL is still in our hands.
Xavi won't take the blame on himself just like Koeman, he is just taking about the robbery of the game. But what would have change if the official gave Barcelona a goal or penalty? Xavi should drop Busquets and gavi, and should introduce a double pivot into midfield for De jong and Kessie....... and should speak to Dembele, he doesn't let the wing back on his wing overlap !!!
@@Sasquatch10 really?
With this strong squad there no explanation about a defeat. First of all Xavi should have lost the game against bayern Munchen and Inter Milan. It because of his poor decision of always player Gavi and Busquets........!!
@@Sasquatch10 If we don't beat Inter or Bayern we are out. And playing like this...

It's a barca issue bro. Remember March 2021 break under Koeman as well.
The pattern after the international break is becoming clear!
Kessie is out injured now
I totally agree with you on this👍🏽
@@dabeluchukwuisaac This is an opportunity for Xavi to step up.
I love Gavi but we have got Kessie in the squad who is a monster to me as a physical specimen. We need to use him more also de Jong. Gavi has time in his hand to improve let's not put him in the big game everytime.
Gavi is too young and he can't play big games always
In 2019/20 our squad was too old and now its too young
This is what a lot of people are saying, but xavi is not seeing it. Kessie needs to start in games and gavi be a replacement. I truly don't get why he doesn't get a lot more play time
Xavi will always play Gavi ahead. He’s Spaniard. Absolutely rubbish 😡
Fuck me Now Kessie is out 🥲 What the fuck is happening to our players ????
Kessie should have started considering his experience in Serie A and his physical abilities too
I genuinely want us to put this behind us and focus on qualifying from the group stage
You won't like this, it's demoralizing.
@Joseph Uwimana I hope Bayern beats Inter. More chance for us
Where and how? Bro forget qualifying. Do you think we can win Bayern and inter in cramp nou? Hell No
Focus on qualifying????bro we are going to be eliminated.. No way we are going to beat bayern and I don't see we beating inter also in home game.. The best we can think of is a draw..

@@williamcastro649 there's still hope, we've just played half of the matches, it is still inconclusive
They cheated to win but what's done is done
In the first half Dembele was all alone. They just gave him the ball and just left him, no overlapping from the fullback. On the right side Raphina tucked in and Alonso just wasted the chance.

The game we played at last weekend and the game we played yesterday was both decided by the magic of a single player. In the last weekend's match, it was Lewi's magical goal which won us the game, and in yesterday's match, it was Calenhalu's magical goal that give us second straight defeat in champion league this season. Yes we were robbed in yesterday's match but we have to also accept that we were also not so good in that match.
Man Onana was goated yesterday he made so many important saves I’m Cameroonian 🇨🇲 and he should play for us like that during the World Cup. VISCA BARÇA 🔴🔵
Watch him concede 4 goals at the camp nou next week 🤣
When we take a look at the games we struggled, almost all of them were against teams using a back 5. Something to look into.
That's why xavi needs to change his game plan. Put players in who can go against that. He needs to find a solution soon, because now every team will start using this against barca and it will just feel frustrating every single time!
@@FabriciaA Exactly. Ik that a 433 is classic Barça, but experimenting with new formations in the Copa del Rey or smt like that could work as well
it will continue to be so. we do not have quality creative midfielder. pedri can't do it alone and gavi and bosquet are not in any way creative.
@@olujuwonolawoyin3067 That is the main point. Pedri is the only player that can create and he played deeper against Inter. Gavi should be the one playing deeper since Inter didn't even come out.
I think we have come to a stage where Ansu HAS to be starting in the LW position for us..we need to give him the run of games and that confidence again..
Never start raphina in the LW again..he and dembele should be competing for the RW
I don't know why he started Gavi instead of Kessie who is a physical beast in the midfield! The man has probably the most experience playing against Inter come on, he literally beat them out to the Serie A title last year! And no disrespect to Gavi he was awesome in Bayern match but he had a bad match, he lost lot of balls and was ineffective going forward. We missed De Jong and if he wasn't there you had to play Kessie..not in the last 10 minutes of the game! Only Pedri and Dembele really delivered for me
We have to remember that Xavi is still very inexperienced , for me there isn’t anyone better for us but I hope that he can learn a lot from nights like yesterday to not make the same mistake again , people make mistakes but doing them over and over is a what our previous managers did and if destroyed us 🇪🇸🙏
He’s fucking stubborn like Koeman give me a break

Raphihna didn't play in his natural position.
But dembele is not 100 effective
Raphinha is great but he needs to play on the right wing, that's his natural position.
You can't judge him when Xavi constantly forces him to play out of position
Raphina was out of position . He’s a natural left foot he should be on right wing , Dembele is comfortable on both feet idk why xavi didn’t put him on the left instead
@@thetrickster4526 he didn't try beating players. He was just passing back and standing there
Man these injuries just killing us Christensen and kesssie are the latest victims
Nowadays each time we concede a goal first I always get the feeling that we won’t come back…😢
I think Xavi also really needs to put trust in the players he has and give some of them game time. Because I believe if Kessie came in earlier he would have made a difference.
I hope Xavi learnt that a midfield of Pedri and Gavi simply doesn't work. You meed a more physical presence like a Kessie and also Lewandowski needs to turn up in big games. Also relying on Dembele to create by doing cross and hope neefs to stop
and Busquets with Gavi and Pedri doesn't work
Dembele doesn't come inside enough and also tries skills instead of scoring
Believe me or Mark it the next game will be Pedri and Gavi in midfield. Did xavi looks like someone that learn or ready to learn from yesterday even before yesterday? NO. I have been saying this since last season padri and Gavi can't play together. I let go of last season because I thought he think nobody to rotate the two not knowing his inexperience and favouritic has over shadow his judgment. I miss Pep
Barcelona allowed Lewandowski become isolated from game but did not adjust its game .Inter quickly found out that there is no any threat from other players of Barca except Lewandowski .Inter marked Lewandowski with 3 defenders and cut him off passes and that was it. Barca was toothless because noone stepped up to help Lewandowski or used the space he created by his constant fight with defenders. Barca's midfield was lost There were not piercing passes forward only side ones .Tens of fruitless passes that only slowed Barca's game and gave Inter momentum to prepare defense. Barca should play faster 1-2 contacts game. Tiki taka is obsolete because posession doesn't win games only goals do. Playing with one striker against italian team is a great mistake since these teams play better defense then most of the teams playing in CL. Bayern defeated Inter by playing high pressing and 1-2 contacts game without tens of passes and fruitless dribblings.
@@williamcastro649 Xavi won’t learn anything. He will keep starting Alonso in big games, even the Clasico
May have been robbed but it was also shooting yourself in the foot.
Honestly was surprised kessie didn't start inno considering he know inter inside out.
When i saw the lineup ik it was a L.
Alonso stay chasing shadows cause he's slow af so that means raphinha was gonna have to pretty much play deep to support him instead of high in attack leaving that left side dead.
Which all means it was down to dembele alone for pace n creating out wide resulting in men just easily doubling or tripling on him leaving lewa frozen.
If you're going to cater to height play pique instead of alonso n put balde next to him for the legs. Leaving the lw to be free allowing more space for the front 3 to work n pedri to slot in any holes as a attacking 4 with the late runs 🤦♂️
we simply struggle really hard to break down 10 men defenses! against bayern we created alot of chances but as soon as we dont get alot of space our attack has no plan and then the non stop crossing starts without any outcome...
Carragher opened a new world of controversy when he said the Var is Dutch and Dumfries is Dutch lol.. it should be looked into though but can't deny Dembele/Raphinha/Lewandowski were very underwhelming!
I felt after that Pedri goal, Barcelona would tear Inter Milan apart,so much so that their entire season would be wrecked. But they were very passive.
That hurt the most.
Kessie know inter quite well so was surprised when he didn’t start yesterday. Doesn’t matter anyway, even if we scored again the ref would have found a way to make it disallowed.
You could see the ref panicking when we called for a penalty for handball, it was like even before he viewed the VAR, his decision was already made
Xvai is using the club as a practing ground for the Spanish National Team and so he constantly consider his spanish brothers even when he knows that most of them play but lack the experiences and most of them are physically not good enough for certain games, example, comparing Frank Kessi to Gavi iñ starting lineup for the inter game was just a mess. Benching Kessi for Gavi.
It is time to take a hard look at Gavi's performances of late.
Gavi should not start if we have kessie or dejong
He’s been trash all season except sevilla finally someone sees this
Xavi should use Kessie more often.. Its a poor treatment considering his quality & tenacity.. Xavi should try Kessie & FDJ as double pivot with Pedri as the AMF.. One of the pivot could make great runs to the box
Robbed? 100%
But we cant rely on ref decisions to draw or win, tactically we were awful, no idea at all.
This one is on Xavi, I know we lack some players due to injuries, but we struggled in attack mostly, because there was no idea of what to do.
Jamie, the last minute of this video was truly inspiring to me.. Your analysis were on point..
If we had played our best we do not have to rely on referee decision
You are a true fan ❤️💙
Although we were robbed,Xavi got everything wrong but I know we’ll bounce back stronger

Thank you Jamie for exposing the VAR official from the Netherlands who was in charge in the UCL back to back Barca games against Bayern in Munich and against Inter in Milan.Perhaps the guy is a Bayern fan and want's to punish Barca for having lured Lewandoksi to Barcelona. UEFA have to ensure that they do not have this kind of thing otherwise it will be seen as a scandal to ensure some teams like Barca are eliminated unfairly.

Now I understand why Xavi needed Bernardo Sylva
I'm angered by the way we perform I'm angered by the the way it seems our coaches never seem to get it right after pep/ Louis and I'm angry about our team always getting robbed by these....I can't even find the words for these bad bad officials
One of the problems that we have is tht apart from Pedri,we dont have midfielders who can create chances for our forwards.We dont have the kind of midfieders who can navigate thru tight spaces to create opportunities for iur forwards especially when our opponents sit back.We end up rotating the ball or playing it wide to wingers who just cross the ball into the area
Actually we do...Frenkie DeJong
You've said it all!
@@karlmtinsley8297 no, Frenkie is not a rounded midfielder
We need a REAL middle fielder like Kevin De Bruyne who can clinically pass, fire from long range and dribble into box to score.
They didn't get a chance, they created one. Our midfielders can't create a combination with an ultimatum for a goal nor do they see a shot, inter took a shot just outside the box which we could have done several times - Busi, Gavi, Pedri, Raphi, Dembele.
We also want to play possession but we passed at the same rhythm and expected a different outcome. We need to learn to play without the ball. And when we are on the ball we need to be able to switch gear not just in the last 8mins of injury time.
Jimmy I think our players need to be mature in this competition including xavi because this competition is not just there.we need midfield runs pedri tried
We need midfielders to unlock such defenses plus we need creative wingbacks
Balde was taking on defenders
I feel that Fati’s handball, as inadvertent as it was, slowed the ball up for Pedri’s easy tap in. Even putting the earlier dubious Inter offside call and Eric Garcia handball aside, yes a handball should have been called against Inter towards the end. While a PK is not a sure thing Barca should have had a chance for the draw. That said, Barca did not play well and Inter actually played well and their defensive tactics were excellent, so I’m not surprised by the outcome. Lewandowski only got 4 touches and when he did he was instantly mugged by Inter defenders. Dembele was making good runs & penetrations but, no Barca players were making runs towards goal to receive a pass. Overall, midfield play was poor. Kessie, with his Serie A experience, should have been subbed in so much earlier, and really should have started. While I can see Barca avenging this loss to Inter in the rematch, I don’t see this team beating Bayern, even at the Camp Nou. Clearing the group stage is not impossible, but it will be difficult.
How on earth handball was given in the case of Fati but not in the case of Dumfries. I still can't belive it. But we tactically outsmarted by Inter's Tactics. Xavi surely took a risk of playing Alonso over Balde. But now there is no room for error. We only have 3 games and we need to win all 3 to make sure that we can proceed to next round.
we weren't outsmarted
We couldn't break them down
@@hkar4385 Yes. And I think we face this issue every time when we face defensively very good team. I hope that Xavi will find a solution for this problem, because if we can't break them down next week then I think a draw also can be a very bad result for us.
Regardless of the calls someone other than Lewa has to start consistently scoring unlike Man City, Barca hasn’t shown any real secondary scoring which will make them easy to defend.
If we took our chances in the first half, or even earlier in the second, If the Right decisions were made, the goals they robbed us of wouldn't have mattered.
What I've been saying! We can whine all day long about the nullfied goal and bad penalty decision, but if we have to stoop that low just to get a win, we are fucked.
@@adityawillie1533 well we did score a goal and were robbed of the goal. its like what more can we do. we definitely were not good enough but we also had a completely fair goal we were robbed of. and yesterday even a draw would've been crucial to qualify.
@@bobthesqu1d620 Like I said, if Barca performed better, we wouldn't really care about the one nullified goal, would we?
What more can Barca do? Perform better.
Barça had 34 crosses. 24 from Dembele alone. Lewy was in the box, everyone else stayed on the edge of the box. Like Jamie said, what can he do when the defense is on him. Barça had no answer. The game changed a bit when Ansu came in. Barça always struggle against defensive teams. De Jong would have been a good option if fit
Xavi mustn't fall into the trap that Koeman did, letting one tactic be our game plan. We need to see individual brilliance by each player.
P.S i completely agree with your scandalous point. It definitely seemed like a "calculated mistake" as well as it being the same official in charge of VAR
Xavi has one advantage over Koeman in that he's still a new and inexperienced coach, but having been backed so well this summer in terms of transfers he needs to learn, and fast.
This game had glimpse of city chelsea final... Where Pep did some so obvious mistakes and took too long to correct them. Game was over by then! And even thr goal was conceded on half end if I'm not wrong.
We have made errors on managerial level
I was honestly sick watching that second half… all that talent and no creativity other than pedri. This team needs to gel together a bit more.
Bc Busi is only for ball distribution & nothing else. Gavi has to do his dirty work of hounding down the ball bc Busi is slow. So the creative work falls on the shoulder of Pedri. You should be thankful that even being positioned deep to help lazy Busquets he was able to create chances for the forwards.
@@pemzg The midfield trio of Gavi Pedri Busquets doesn't work in big games
@@hkar4385 Yes. And it will never work against stronger teams.
there are very big advantages playing against a team back to back that I think favor Barca. if we learn from our mistakes and work to get the first goal, Inter will need to throw numbers forward and I think the flood gates will open. I can honestly seeing us scoring 4 or 5 goals next week...once the dam is breached, we will see what barca is capable of

Dembele was dealing with 2 inter players, where is the Full back supporting him? If the flanks don't work, why team not playing through the middle through quick passes? Zero penetrative passes. 50 crosses and 13 corners not took advantage of?

#XAVIOUT
Moza
The Purist Football’s channel analyzed this game perfectly.. Against Mallorca when Barcelona were finding no space on the wings.. what did they do? They kept pushing on the wings.. Barcelona made no adjustments! And the same happened in this game! Unfortunate.. next game we gotta be better
We're gonna beat celta by 3 and still loose in the ucl because we lack intensity, movement and also clinical finishing..even lower teams take their chances and we loose ..xavi needs to act now.
Yes we deserved to get those decisions in our favour with var... But that doesn't take away the fact that we were absolutely pathetic... Its not just ystrdy.. The game against mallorca was also the same... There were hints in that game also that we had dropped our levels.. Honestly I don't see this team improving now.. The signs are there to see .. It will be the same as last season. Europa and a top 4 finish.. We can't expect much more especially with all the injuries that we have.. won't be surprised if we get defeated in home games against both inter and bayern... Cant understand the excuse of not scoring against teams that sit behind.. What do u expect then.. They will attack and give advantage to us.. They defend well and when they get a chance they score and win.. Thats the game play for them.. If u can't break them down with ur normal game change ur game plan and not wait for them to give us a chance to score
WE NEED TO WIN ALL our games now!!!
Any time we move the ball slowly:
1. the performance of the whole team drops,
2. players become lazy,
3. The opponent becomes more confident
4. We create less chances
5. and fans feel that the game is boring,
6. In the end, we draw or loose the game
I’m pissed. Yeah, the officials messed up, and I believe that cannot keep happening, surely there is something to do about it (in general). But I’m more pissed because of our performance and this is the thing I'd rather focus on, because there we have any impact on. So yes, Xavi has lost the plot tactically (this loss is on him more than on players IMO), our wingers are either not being used how they should (Raphinha) or their work is meaningless (Dembele’s crosses), and there is also important fact that ppl keep ignoring as we are too focused/reliant on wing play/wingers: the midfield ain't creative enough to make something happen in attack, as well (Look, how many goal contributions they have in this season vs. how it looks for example in City...). Then, there is literally half of our squad being injured. How are we supposed to turn this around? The draw is enough for Inter to send us back to Europe, you just know they will do everything to make this happen. Then, even if we win against them, the situation is still tough, considering there is a possibility that Inter could take some points vs. Bayern as they will be already qualified. We're in a very tough spot in UCL, and in the LaLiga important matches with so many players injured. Uhhhh. I'm mad. No hope left in me, just want this season to end.
I stated from the very beginning that Xavi will need to learn on the job. He is doing well overall but making mistakes here and there. I think he will do well over time. Barca is also doing well overall One game does not make a season. People have a tendency to overreact when Barca wins or looses. They will beat Inter and get a point or three against Bayern at home and go through to the next round. I also think the midfield trio of Busquests, Xavi and Pedro is not working. They do not have balance. The four players that disappointed me most in the last game were Lawandoski, Gavi, Raphina and Alonzo. Dembele was our only offensive threat. Statistics like how many times one loses the ball sometimes makes no sense. Messi loses lots of balls because he is the one trying to make things happen. If you do not take chances, you will not lose the ball. Dembele made some good crosses and tried to mix it up with dribbling that were almost successful. It is not his fault that you had no players in the end of the crosses. He was the one that created the disallowed goal and hit the post. I think him and Sane of Bayern for whatever reason get critiqued a lot even though they are probably the best attacking option for their teams. Makes no sense.
You said it right
Our injury list: Araujo, Memphis, Kounde, Frenkie, Christensen, Kessie and Bellerin. We need to face an Inter side who simply has to park the bus and get a draw at Camp Nou. We have never played well against teams that sit deep and have a low block under Xavi. We simply do not have the creative players who can work in tight spaces and break such teams down. We need acres of space. Winning alone against Inter will be tough, but doing so with multiple goals for head-to-head record is gonna be a pain in the ass. Then we have to get a result against Bayern at home. I simply cannot see us beating them without a fit Araujo and Kounde. And people think Viktoria Plzen away is a guaranteed 3 points. It never is, not on the final day if we desperately need 3 points, and the home team has nothing to play for and the crowd is behind them. We are absolutely fucked. I'm mentally preparing for a Europa League exit, cause I can't go through the disappointment of last season again, where I believed till the last second.
Xavi got the tactic all wrong yesterday! Gavi, Busquet, Alonso, Raphina shouldn't have started. The team is well balance with Ansu on the right! Xavi need to trust him. Memphis Depay is another great option. We need to stop forcing Raphinha and Dembou playing together, it doesn't work. Xavi also need to consider giving Dembou the free role. The guy is so creative, and we just tuck him on the side wasting all of his creativity, he needs the freedom to roam where the game takes him.
What a genius idea,I wonder why these coaches with all these training sessions don't come up with this ideas
haha all I'm saying is at some point Xavi is gonna have to be ruthless with his starting XI if he still wants to keep the job.
angered me too bro ,i have been so miserable since the loss and the robbery . i honestly also feel like the injuries has a impact as we lost confidence in losing our cb duo and fdj . we need to come back stronger .
I still don’t understand well what Gavi brings to the table more than Kessie and Frankie. He has the fighting spirit and is strong but I don’t trust him to create especially over De Jong
We want players who have guts to play the ball forward.. In la Liga the pressure is not that much the one at the UCL stage... Biscuits only chooses safe option... And we can point out many more things
Xavi biggest mistake was to let Kessie on the bench
Hope he learns From it 💙❤️
What i still can't understand about this team is why do we always have to wait for the opponent to score before we get serious
We see that everytime especially against big teams i don't understand.
Why not hit them immediately from the start
Facts.
even if Frankie was fit to play, together with kessie. xavi would still play gavi Pedri and busi.. it's just today that people now see it.. and Mark my words next game he will play them again...
I feel like Xavi is playing too cautiously with his players. Constantly looking to rest them instead of making necessary changes to the squad in order to make a difference. He needs to learn when to go all in for the win.
Any team that sits deep against us, we are in able to find solutions. Xavi' plays a predictable system. But his choice of players are not unpredictable. That is the problem. If when are face with such defence line Fati and Memphis are the only two wingers who can bring unpredictability. We saw this against Mallorca from Fati. Even Ferran can be little unpredictable. Between Rhaphinhna and Dembele one must be playing from the bench or both. Then Gavi is good but he is not dynamic. He needs to learn that. I have always said Frenkie and Kessie should be chosen over Gavi.
I don’t understand why xavi started Alonso. I could kind see why against Bayern because we knew Bayern will come out us, so Alonso technical ability would help. But in this game, we knew that inter will sit deep. We needed a
Lb who is explosive aka balde not Alonso. Also, the position that xavi put raphinha is far better suited for ferran or fati.
Xavi needs to be blamed at the same time
Déjá vu feelings to be honest😩
Feelings we really didn’t want to experience from past embarrassing defeats
Look at this backward trend:
2018/19: Semi-finals
2019/20: Quarter finals
2020/21: Round of 16 (2nd in the group)
2021/22: 3rd in the UCL group and Quarter final exit in UEL
2022/23: It surely can't be worse
@@hkar4385 honestly going into the europa league AGAIN would definitely feel worse to me.
gavi is a monster playing against spanish teams but that game was vs italian team we needed 1 creative player (pedri) and an italian experienced ex-player ( f. kessie) i hope xavi will realize that b4 the next stop
The real Barca style of play of late used to beat any opponent team who intends to defend deeply, this was because of a sensational midfielders and fearful attackers. Anytime the attackers are left with no by opposing defenders, the MDs comes in to cause danger but this thread is no longer the same with Busi,Gavi, and Pedri. Xavi should be dynamic with that midfield option anytime the arise since he have squad depth.
“They thought it was Fati” but Christina Unkel said it was because “they didn’t have the footage that showed it yet”. They can’t even get their excuses together.
She really tried to defend both Pedri’s goal being disallowed and Dumfries penalty not being called until she was backed in a corner by the post game cast
8:44 the answer to the question “Whats the point of VAR?” Is: now we know UEFA or at least referees can be corrupt. These decisions were not innocent. This is what VAR is showing us.
I think the constant dependence on Dembele was a major fault in our lack of effectiveness in the final third. Kessié should have come on much earlier if not started the game. We needed players who could cut in and play directly into the defensive wall. Dembele goes on the outside around the defender to create space for a cross or cut back. That generally doesn't work when players are stacked in the area. Attackers who cut in and dribble through the defensive line force errors and can win free kicks and even penalties. Pedro should have played with Kessié instead of Gavi.
For how long Busquets is starting for Barcelona and we are planning to renew him
We all know the fact he is getting old now Frankie or Kessei can play his role
This is the second time i dont watch talkfcb video as soon as he uploads it, the first one was against bayern, because it really pains now to lose but before i was like used to it
I said it before and will say it again xavi decision making will cost us this season, as Barcelona fans we all love gavi and he's a great young players, but you can't convince me that he's the better option than de Jong or kessie even busquet should be drop period.
The serious issue is, Xavi midfielders don't create opportunities for the forwards except Pedri......... and "PLEASE" gavi is still young to start over Kessie or De jong if he was fit. Is he there for Barcelona or the future of Spanish players ?
Xavi has a thing for Spanish players kinda like Koeman did for Dutch players
@@badttwpenphis1327 it's true , the sporting director for Barcelona wanted to sign the Brazilian right back Dodo for Barcelona but Xavi just wanted Azpiliqueta !!!
Questionable tactics. Crossing and insha'Allah doesn't always work. Goals should come from all players From defenders to midfielders. Attempt shots from outside the box. Ball over the top. Sergi Roberto was so poor yesterday
Visca El Barca! Love From Bangladesh And Barisal.
Maybe dembele is not as good as we think. He's been pocketed in back to back UCL games now. In hindsight, i think raphina would have been better at RW last night
Sincerely speaking , Xavi messed up yesterday. How on earth will he wait till that odd hour to make a key change. It was as if he was not watching the match. Again, the referee was just a fool big time. What stop's him from going to check the hand ball himself just as he did to Barca . I see the game as fixed.
the way we just force croesses into the box reminds me of koeman era.
We were denied a penalty and a clear Pedri goal.. That should have won it
There is little much you could do if the ref is against you. Same referee over saw the Bayern game and denied a clear penalty for a foul on Dembélé and Lucas admitted it after the game.
Inter overloaded their midfield and defended deep so you don't expect a game with so much goals these little details count.
I am gutted by the result anyways Xavi has his share of work to do.
At Camp nou we stumping them.. Can't wait 🤏
We need time to create a solid structure. The system and structure the team is trying to build will take time.. We all hailed the team while they won, we hailed the coach so well for every win game. We have to stand by the team now ND support them.
Games can be emotional, let's understand this is a matter of building into the future..
Visca!
You're right my fellow culer. But Xavi has to shoulder majority of the blame for our loss against Inter Milan yesterday. Gavi wasn't in the game yesterday and it was clear for every Barca fan yesterday but he played for over 80 minutes. Why didn't Xavi subbed off gavi after first half and bring on Kessie who could match Inter Milan in terms of physicality and experience for having played for AC Milan in serie A and has even won the scudetto.
Then there's a certain slow Alonso guy who Xavi thought deserved starting ahead of a young, exciting,strong etc Alejandro balde who in all aspects of football is better than Alonso except age.
Xavi should stop being racist and egoistic and do things the right way.
If anything this game showed it's that Frenkie needs to be in the starting 11, Kessie should've started, Raphinha should only play on the right wing and Balde should've played as the LB.
Putting Alonso in the starting 11 of a Champions League game when he has hardly played with the team is just stupid.
Roberto could've started as the RB
Busi shouldn't make that many minutes anymore, especially not in Champions League games.
Kessie gave more stability.
Dembele should learn how to make better decisions.
Can’t agree more with your assessment of taking so long with Kessie. That was the first sub I wanted to happen.
Please stop complaining about the referee decision. We lost it in the first 65 minutes when we decided to play slow possession game. Inter knew exactly what they were going to do whereas we were found wanting in our game plan. That Xavi brought the substitutes very late is what frustrates me
Why shouldn’t we complain? Isn’t the referee’s decision part of the game??? Yes, Xavi made mistakes but still, those decisions cost us. So, stop saying we shouldn’t complain about it🙄
We have complained enough 😅
such a shame! what's crazy is that no one shot from outside the box!!!
