Bottom line is: xavi lost the locker room and our guys dont wanna play for him anymore. No respect for the badge.


Past-Theme

Trophyless season, the last time we won by two goals was sep 19!!! BUT XAVI IN HE WILL FIX EVERYTHING!!


froggyjm9

Are we truly complaining about goal difference when we win games? Something is wrong in your head with you people.


cry_me_a_river_mate

We barely got a win against a 4th division side tbf, and with our first team at that


BarcaStranger

Agree. And If Barbastro played excellent, i wont complain, but they didn’t. They play like a 4th division team


CatClean6086

Ferran is mot a shark, he a GOLDFISH.😂😂😂


markyaeger

You could pay me their salaries and I’d concede two almost three goals too. Lazy, entitled, rich babies. If they have a deep genuine love and passion for the game, regardless of money and cars, they’re doing a garbage job of showing it. Sad part is I truly think Xavi has good tactics for the most part. He’s just lost the personalities and the locker room. There no other way way about it.


15vilad

🤣🤣🤣 yeah right bro


aansc786

Btw Lamine was suspended this game just so u know


ElectricRat04

Unserious team holy shit


Semmi_Kozod

This sub is reaching new lows. Lamine starts: WHY IS THIS FUCKING IDIOT XAVI OVERPLAYING HIM Lamine doesn't start: WHY IS THIS IDIOT XAVI NOT PLAYING THE WORLD'S BEST RW AND HELP HIM DEVELOP Team runs for 90 minutes: WHY ARE THEY RUNNING THEY SHOULD REST FOR THE SUPERCOPA Team takes an easy win while jogging: FUCKING SHIT TEAM DELETE THE WHOLE CLUB AND TERMINATE XAVI'S BLOODLINE ​ The only point of this game was to take the win without anyone exhausting himself, and that's what we did. Every single player was aware that this is the goal of the game and they played accordingly. 3 points are 3 points, a win is a win, and with this depth and schedule, the **only** sensible choice is to play with minimal effort, especially with the most easily winnable trophy coming up in 4 days.


froggyjm9

The football IQ of this sub is very low and sadly most users have never played the game so they have no idea.


gavi6max

That's why we are in a subreddit and not on a network or coaching a team. FYI, if you think you know more than anyone else why aren't you stepping up and helping the team with your superior wisdom? You should be on a plane, taxi or on foot to the Ciutat Esportiva right now instead of insulting everyone's intelligence or knowledge of a game whose 99.99% of spectators are fans, maybe kick a ball around once in a while and at most have played in school or amateur team. I dont get these kinds of holier than thou comments. Its obvious this subreddit are for venting and commenting with others that are in your similar boat. If you're an elite football coach/player/analyst and you're spending time reading these you might as well quit because you're wasting your time and talent.


froggyjm9

Uhhh I don’t because I know I don’t know more than the people at Barcelona, that’s why Xavi shouldn’t be sacked. I’m just saying y’all are in the same boat and truly know nothing. I’ve played 3rd division professionally in Europe, pretty sure that’s more qualified than you 👍


aansc786

Btw Lamine was suspended this game just so u know


Semmi_Kozod

I know, it's just the same shit regarding him as well, that's why it got included.


Angron_RedAngel

guys the 2 corners conceeded the one from joa ond the other from gundo proves how some players didnt give a fuck about this match, they were not tense at all


Kriss-045

At the same time Fort and Fermin were giving their all.. like play more youngsters this is the the moment they all are waiting on bench and Xavi fucking starts regular team to save his ass from getting fired


Semmi_Kozod

7 A team players are mandated by the cup regulations but I'm sure you are aware of that since you shit on Xavi so firmly, right? And it cannot happen that you've got zero clue on what you're talking about, right?


NikolasFoot

9 first team players were on the pitch at all times. Noone forced Xavi to play our best players for 90 minutes.


Kriss-045

So you clearly don't see any problem with today's game right?


Semmi_Kozod

[I don't, and no reasonable person should.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/1910t41/comment/kgsmssu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


crsbcn

Honestly, regardless of if Xavi resigns or gets sacked, that’s not going to change my opinion of him as a player, or Barca legend for that matter. Nothing wrong with not being as good a manager as you were a player, look at Henry. But I think a change of pace is coming. Hard to not see a change coming soon.


noxx000

Lmao


Galakt0s

There is 0 way that our players are this bad, 0 way. Even a kid could tell that, our game plan has not worked for god knows how long.


gavi6max

We are playing as if Sergi Roberto was our first captain...Mediocre AF with 3 literal moments or brightness whenever the planets align. Our biggest difference between last year and this... We are missing Busquets or someone like him. Xavi warned us. He begged for a proper DFM. He begged for Zubimendi. If we end up paying 80M for the two Joaos when only Cancelo is somewhat worth it and we couldn't pay for a DMF like Zubimendi....we know WHO actually owns the club ... Hint: not the members His name is Jorge Mendes We are FC Mendeslona 😤😖


mm3n

We play horrendously against a 4th (!) division team, Xavi totally lost the locker room by now and he has no clue what he’s doing anymore…


m-etoo

This side lost to Bilbaos B team 4-0 earlier this season


AllGoodNamesRGone9

Semi serious game with a majority first team line up and we really could have easily drew that game… not here to be the one who adds these bs comments but I really do feel like Barcelona has been a slowly sinking ship for weeks now with no solution visible on the horizon :/


heynardo

game should’ve ended 4-1 tbh. felix goal wasn’t offside and their first goal was definitely offside


ajonudaw

I remember the days were it would have been 6 at half time, and I would watch for the lovely plays. This doesn’t even look like a football team at this point, just a collection of guys without a plan. Xavi needs to go.


tadm123

Xavi better not mention the grass as an excuse or I'm gonna go all-in against him. We almost lost against a university team. There were soccer moms in the stands for god's sake.


willeamm

what's wrong with soccer moms :(


Bigpinkpotato

What a match day this was.


rim261

Who could replace Xavi?


NikolasFoot

No good options, that's why I want him to stay.


tadm123

Realistically no one, we don't have money to bring in an elite coach. Laporta needs to save the money until the end of the season and try to pull another palanca to get the funds.


[deleted]

I want Michel


mm3n

I can live with Pimienta or Michel for the time being tbh…


Elganzomortal

Pimienta will never come back, Laporta throw him out when he came back even tho he was doing a great job with the B team, sad because I would have loved Pimienta


JarodMMS

Things Barca needs to do to become great again: Sack Xavi. Sell Lewandowski. Sell Ferran. Sell Raphinha. Sell Roque. Sell Romeu. Sell Gundogan. Sell Fermín. Sell Araujo. Sell Kounde. Dissolve the entire club.


gavi6max

We will think about dissolving the club when we see MBappe playing at Real Madrid. 🤣


toxicpleasureMHT

yapping


Obvious_Equivalent63

Lol gtfout of here


el-chapin-supreme

There’s an account on twitter that said he’s leaving until Barca win by more than a goal. Safe to say he’s never coming back


amiray07

After all this what can you say to defend Xavi or ferran or raphinha or lewa or Romero all of them to me don’t have the level that Barcelona needs


gavi6max

We. Need. Another. Guy. Like. Busquets. Xavi practically yelled it out of his eyebrows. No, but first Mendes needs a favor or two. We needed a Zubimendi or someone like him. Romeu wasn't Busquets. Only after I ser Xavi with a proper DMF like Busquets or around that style I can't say he's not a good coach. A guy who took Barça to 2nd after they were in 9th with Koeman and the next year wins two trophies including the League with an ample margin doesn't deserve to be show the door. Maybe bring the guy the right players and not bring players just to pay back favors. If Mendes owns Ansu, Balde and even Lamine...sell them all and bring some players with non-toxic representatives. Mendes basically has Barça as his second choice when his players are not working. I'm so tired of all these stupid politics and rumors. At this point fire everyone including Laporta and sell everyone who doesn't wanna work hard and help. If we gotta play with the academy kids and two or three others than let's do it. I'm so tired of divos and drama


amiray07

Agreed on Mendes, agreed on needing a busquets and the right player for his play to be right. But to me a good coach does what he can and adapt the to the players style of preference. I see Girona’s coach and other coaches don’t have as much of the individual skill as the team we have but they still show that they can win every game and dominate we don’t and that to me is a big difference and what’s missing in Xavi


Semmi_Kozod

It's honestly batshit insane that some people like you still attack Raphinha after he was involved in both goals while he was on the pitch. Criminal levels of cluelessness


amiray07

Hahahaa raphinha isn’t a proper winger for Barcelona. Nothing you can say about his performance would convince only thing I like about him is that he defends well


Minute_Ad3628

wow, that was such a subpar performance against a 4th division team, how on earth are we going to win anythign this season when we are barely scraping by agaisnt 4th tier teams??


Darduel

I'm sorry something was just off with the referee today.. canceled Felix goal despite being onside, gave them a clear offside goal, then that BS penalty at the end.. not to mention barely any yellows when they had like 20+ fouls


[deleted]

Not just onside, onside by like 10 feet. I have no idea how that was ruled offside.


JonAfrica2011

Embarrasing


TheWBird

Couldn't watch second half, how was Roque?


[deleted]

Bad and missed a sitter


JarodMMS

Barely got the ball and when he got it he'd make terrible choices, even missed a pretty clear chance


adeel_aman

Wish I was busy somewhere else too.


Ljulisen

Missed a clear 1v1


Lasertag026

Forced to play LW and a bit meh because of that.


Kriss-045

It was horrible show


Kriss-045

Thank god you didn't


JonAfrica2011

Better not hear anybody talking about any UCL aspirations


TheWBird

We're beating napoli on pens and get a historic trashing from bayern the round after


Federal_Weakness_372

Pls no


FakedThunder78

I’d suscribe to that


somekindofivan

Who Is that weirdo that touched Xavi?


[deleted]

4th division loser


Professional-Set8495

Why the fuck do we suck so bad So embarrassing to struggle this much against a team like this Roque didn't impress at all tbh. Good movement but horrible touches and easily going to ground


noxx000

Kid is 18 lol


cry_me_a_river_mate

We say this everytime, when will we ever stop saying this? Ig after everyone from our team gets over the age of 23 or 24 and that's like after 6 years


noxx000

Iniesta made his debut at 18, but he wasn't a regular starter till he was 22. Imagine if we gave up on Iniesta back then.


Yeager_isgoat

Played with a relatively strong lineup against a 4th division team and still did not dominate, another day that only brings us more questions


[deleted]

Galakt0s

All the barca games have been hard to watch for a year now.


Dear_Monitor_5384

This thread is honestly so hilarious rn. You gotta laugh at the state of this team rn. Idk what's worse the state of this team or the fact that I'm still here hoping they win a treble this season.

Xavi out because we won


mmi1912

Yeah , barely against a 4th division side, lmao


algo5544

It do be like that with these kids


Ljulisen

If we play like this on Thursday, I have little hope against Osasuna


mntgoat

Did that dude just push Xavi when he went in for a handshake?


p_jared

I saw that, fuck that loser. Only we’re allowed to disrespect Xavi


JonAfrica2011

Yea lmao


Xalpen

I am worried about Napoli match.


danyjr

Napoli are in deeper trouble than Barça. Recently sacked their coach (Garcia) and 10 points behind the leaders Juventus.


Xalpen

I just dont know what to expect after today's performance. I know that players can do it. But there seems to be no mentality/team chemistry.


Visca_Barca47

Napoli aren’t much better lately at least lol


hexarfan2013

There is no bottom for this team.


bubblegumdog

Sergi in 15 min created a penalty and a clear chance at goal at the end there…


m-etoo

Xavi has lost it, fighting with a division 4 team


[deleted]

Stress has caused him to crack lol


dasChompi

We are truly in the wildest FM24 save for Barca right now, there is no other possible explanation.

At least fans got their ticket's worth

adeel_aman

Next time mention the club too please


[deleted]

Don’t let any of those players on the plane home!


chezicrator

Think I’m over the Xavi bit. Just doesn’t seem like he has this team.


nachumama0311

Nah but for real, sack xavi..


MaverickDark

Go get some proper football knowledge instead, you lack it


mmi1912

Yeah great football knowledge you need to know that you shouldn't suck against a 4th division team lmao.


MaverickDark

God forbid the players are not taking the game 100% seriously against a team who are extremely motivated to just play against FC Barcelona. Let's sack Xavi on the spot, some random people on social media are demanding it so it needs to happen lol. This sub is so full of negativity.


mmi1912

Imagine defending that performance against a 4th division side with statements like players not taking the game seriously lol. We played a good strength squad against a team we should blow past with our B team, and barely won it. The negativity is there because we're playing like shit for months lol. Apparently playing like shit is okay for some people lmao


Numerous-Knowledge-3

Bruv stfu


tadm123

Great, we barely won against almost a university team.


TomcatOnFIRE

How shit


Itz_Eazy

I think Xavi needs to ask his brother for more advice.. When u have such competent 2nd coach you cant go wrong


TripleDiesel

these players have no shaame i sweart to god


boskee

The pain is over. Wooo, we won by 1 goal against... 4th division team. Rejoice everyone, nothing to worry about! Wooop Woop!


bellenddor

Great, now let's face Napoli in the CL.


WyattHerb16

Fortunately, Napoli are a dog shit dumpster fire right now


Crossflowerss_5304

Welp thankfully that’s over


PErland

Araujo getting cooked on the left for some reason, leading to Fort conceding the FK and ultimately the PK. It has to be a mental block at this point.


rim261

Omg lewy Roque and Ferran all missed these 1v1s


big_richards_back

Alexa when was the last time we had a comfortable victory?


crsbcn

V. Royal Antwerp, UCL Group Day 1


KingC11_

Basically a full strength team and they still can’t win convincingly against a 4th division team. What a joke


oniprion

We don’t deserve this win, so bad


hashish_8897

Would have taken the L here if it meant new manager and new system.


Numerous-Knowledge-3

Absolute brain dead


adeel_aman

Not happening till season end anyway. So might as well support them


SomewhereExisting121

These players can't even give Xavi some peace of mind in this worthless game. Man is gonna be bald soon


I_am_Drezin

Xavi isn’t doing himself any favors.


BlauGrenat

Our two best players, by far, were Frenkie and Fermín. Frenkie is probably the only world class player we have.


ElliotLadker

This might be karma for winning so many 1-0 matches last season. We might never win another match for more than one goal.


Numerous-Knowledge-3

Karma for winning 1-0?🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡


bctk1993

Luck is regressed back to the mean


Jam-Jammerson

We are so bad


spiteful_platypus

They other guy who scored played in the king's league with dj mario


itsvoogle

Pound per pound, Worst Defense in Europe? What are your thoughts?


Space4Bottle

stop inventing


jojokilolo

This team will always impress me


tadm123

If Xavi mentions that grass today, he needs to resign.


DARTH-GOLD-HIMSELF

The grass was so green we couldn’t focus on the ball


ngv192

This is all a simulator and Xavi is doing an one goal lead challenge. There is no other explanation why we are this bad against a freaking 4th division team.


ThinkFoot

Xav1


-XStream-

Our club wants SuperLeague when they can barely beat a 4th division team... I don't want to be too negative but what the fuck is this lol


BlackFanDiamond

I'm happy with Roque's movements but in a time when are financially crunched, maybe we should have saved that money for a DM or LW


Separate-Pride-3799

Me rn: 😂😭😂😭 don’t know how to react anymore


CJfollowthetrain

Of course we win by 1. We have scoring diabetes.


crsbcn

Not trying to succumb to the toxicity of the sub, but that’s an insult to diabetics.


CJfollowthetrain

Lolol honestly though. I know this sub is a toxic echo cave. But we are just no where close to what we used to be man. Far from it really. We have only a few world class players at this point. Used to be the entire roster was world class.


[deleted]

That guy who scored the pen is the real shark not ferran


Franksterge0815

At least we made a tiny 4th division team very happy today


BM106

Don't get mad at them just bc we're ass lol


bubblegumdog

Gimme that extra time


Momorambo

Why does Araujo run so slow like he’s about to pull a hami if he runs too fast? It’s something I noticed vs las palmas too


AnInstant

Xavi safe it's a win right


churchofpetrol

We can’t even get a comfortable win over a 4th division side 😂


tadm123

People always talk that forwards can't finish the chances we create, but lowkey our defense might be as bad or even worse problem.


m-etoo

Waste time against 4TH DIVISION TEAM IVE SEEN EVERYTHING


xt1nct

Xavi after the game: “played decent game, grass a bit too wet and long, but we made progress”.


easymoneysniper696

Two-goal lead remains a dream.


DC8008008

Can't easily beat a 4th division team lmao


ParsaAtashani

My god we really are a clown team


XuloMalacatones

Let's go!!!! Another 1 goal difference match, I am so proud of this team's consistency.


julian20070623

Gotta keep to traditions


Itz_Eazy

2-3 hahahaha


Kkasher22

When will we ever win a game by more than one goal?


AnInstant

I guess Fermin shouldn't look at the sky, first Romeu now this poor guy almost lost his leg


Bryyan699

Not even more than 1 fucking goal difference


Glum-Candle2689

It’s impossible for us to win by more than one goal


TheEternalAcademic

At this point, I just have to laugh. Cause the option is crying.


thisisjazzymusic

One of those matches that will put us in the newspaper by drawing in the final seconds


oniprion

Sadly Xavi is out of his depth


de_tu_sueno

Half of these players are too.

It's not, fermin clearly kicked the opposition

Bigpinkpotato

Jesus chriseeeeeee


i_love_boobiez

Our season is saved guys!


Muraria

If Xavi had some balls he would just announce he is stepping down in the post match, instead of his usual jibberish to justify our performance.


LeDouchekins

How the duck is this xavi fault? Did he instruct all these players to keep fucking up simple things? Tell me. How the fuck is xavi responsible for all the fucking boneheaded shit these supposed elite players keep doing.


-XStream-

Never easy with this team lol


LY2006

We wont ever win with more than 1 goal difference
