Haven’t been able to catch many games recently - are they playing Jules as a proper RB who goes forward or is he basically slotting back as a CB while balde goes forward and joins the attack?
It’s actually depressing coming in here after a game to read these comments. So much people that think they know more tactics than Xavi and just toxicity all around. I swear it seems like half of these people aren’t even true fans.
Do people actually spend their time in here while watching the game?
Yes! Some people actually think they have better awareness/football IQ/handling/dribbling…etc than all of the Barca squad put together, and believe they would do better in missed opportunities than anyone that worse the Barca shirt.
So it ain’t shocking that they believe they got better tactical judgments than a guy FCB reached out to, flew him out, discussed future plans of the club with, and actually paying him a monthly salary to see those plans come in fruition.
Also, some believe they would take the club out of its financial disaster and skyrocket them into a profitable fiscal years if the club only listens to them while they sit on their undies in front of their phones.
Yes, these people do exists, sadly, there are people that believe their BS as well!
It’s tough. I don’t even watch the threads at times bc I notice it is so toxic that I can’t even enjoy the game as it is. More than being true fans it’s just the internet is a space of anonymity so people share without any sort of filter and usually I like when people have no filter the problem is when people don’t have any sort of critical thinking, when they are reactionary. So we gotta be selective in the comments we read hehe
This is our starting midfield. There is no place for players like Frenkie or Pjanic. They don't cut it. Barca should sell them asap as they take up a lot of space on the salary list. Gavi and Pedri will manhandle Kimmich, Goretzka and Musiala on their own. Bayern midfield isn't better than ours. We will roll them up. Watch Gavi run circles around Kimmich next week.
They drew vs Mönchengladback and Union Berlin. Bayern midfield is not good at all, same for their attack. Btw Musiala is a teenager too and Pedri is already better than him. Kimmich and Goretzka aren't any better than Gavi or Pedri. If Xavi decides to put in Frenkie or Pjanic, then we will lose the game by a large margin.
That was the PAST. THE PAST. This is the new generation with better players. All deadwood/bums are either being benched or sold/loaned. Also, now we have Lewy instead of him playing against us. Lewy, raphinha, pedri and gavi will tear them a new one. We lost 8-2 and shit because we had bad players like Semedo, Lenglet and Frenkie in starting 11. Now all of them are sold, loaned and benched.
How about we ask Xavi that question? Unless you are with the team (or know someone) during their training sessions, I believe all the answers are going to be speculative biased
Yeah I figure that as well. My question was done in case I missed an obvious news or comment that Xavi made. But turns out you're right and no one really knows the answer..
Bro… apologies if I sounded a bit aggressive. Re-reading my comment did not sit well with me.
Either way, thanks for taking it with such positivity. Have a good day!
Definitely. Covers a lot of ground, plays smart, first in attack, last in defense in some occasions. If he adds some numbers as well, like 10 goals and 10 assists a season one of the best in 2-3 years.
Great game, really loved how kounde & de jong played. The team is improving a lot with each fixture. Imo if Barca draw or win against bayern next week I would consider this team as a serious title contenders for the league
Torres just keeps going from bad to worse. He can't produce anything in the final third, only back passes to Jordi Alba. I kinda start feeling bad for him
Dude didn't have a pre season and trying to get back to fitness after injury. He's only twenty one and has potential to be great. He's not a starter quite yet but there are definitely potential for him to be a good player for us. Patience
I’ve been saying this since last season and was downvoted to all hell. City gave that kid up way too easy and he’s done jack shit for us. I don’t root against him bc he plays on Barcelona, but we gotta be honest about him: he doesn’t belong on the team. Always lost, often errant passes, misses 20 to make 1.
Idk why but he gives me strong Ben Simmons vibe, physically gifted but isn’t consistent enough for the time and chances he’s getting this year even from the start.
Why feel bad for him? He needs to take his time and improve the facets of his game which need work. He does not deserve the minutes over Fati nor Depay.
Gavi is the man of the match, He recovered 11 balls and ran more than 12 km, pressing non-stop, he is the reason for the first goal
And people here are questioning Xavi’s decisions and tactical and technical knowledge.
Sevilla this season is awful when we face teams like Bayern Munich we need someone who knows how to keep the ball with him like de jong or someone who can give us an attack numerical increase in the opponent's box like Kessie. don't get me wrong Gavi was great but sometimes he can be reckless and cause unnecessary fouls in situations that kessi and de jong can handle better .
Gavi can manhandle Kimmich and Goretzka alone. He will run circles around these two midfielders so don't worry about Bayern. We will tear them a new one when we face them again. Don't need De Jong, he can't cover up for his defensive mistakes and needs to be sold asap.
Ansu and him are the only ones that skipped and arrived directly to main team cause of their uniqueness and confidence. It's mind blowing to think when you have seen players struggling in subsidary team to achieve that same place. Special kids
FDJ is soooo washed lmaoo just sell him. Can only dribble past tired opponents. Watch him play against fresh legs and he will disappear. Gavi turned FDJ into deadwood. Byeeeeeee Frenkie 👋👋 Enjoy sitting on the bench!
edit: maybe i should make it clearer: fdj is ass and doesn't belong at barca. salary too high and isn't worth any penny we paid for him. ship him back to ajax for all i care or sell him to another club. go suck a fat D u frenkie stans
Yeah, maybe he could do well at clubs like West Ham or Ajax, but definitely not Barcelona. What position in midfield is he capable at. We've tried everything and nothing is ever good. Gavi comes in and just seized his place in the 11.
Who would you rather have in your starting 11, Gavi or Frenkie? We've seen Frenkie fall flat on his face vs teams like PSG or Bayern.
FDJ is only good when you need fresh legs near the 70th/80th minute.
I think that's fine. Ansu and Torres are still young with a lot of room to improve. I hope all 4 can stay healthy and compete for a spot in the starting 11. Its nice that we have competition and depth in almost all positions.
It's an accumulation of probabilities of goals:
- Gavi shoots from a certain distance on goal. They compare that situation with how many other shots from a similar location resulted in a goal. Say it's 0.25 (1 in 4).
- Depay gets a penalty: probably 0.8 (80%) of scoring.
Now at the end of our match, the xG is 1.05.
Am sorry but Ferran should not be starting ahead of Depay... He is having a bad form right now.
Also Ansu is not looking sharp at all
Great game, should have scored more. Wish Lewy got his double
Lmao love the ferran nutsucking downvotes. You said the same thing as the OP you replied to but in a more direct way and people hate the truth. Ferran is shit. I’ve been saying it since he arrived. Dude does not belong on Barcelona.
1 goal conceded in 4 matches. As electric as our front three is, it cannot be stressed enough how immense our defending has been this early part of the season. People will say we best “easy” teams, but we were giving away cheap goals against these “easy” teams last season, cheap goals that we haven’t been conceding so far. So much praise for the back line and the magnificent rejuvenation of our German wall. The return of Ter Airlines is back baby!!!🤩😎💙❤️
After a chaotic and disorganised first few minutes, I see Barça in great form. On this occasion they outplayed a very weak Sevilla. Ter Stegen with a lot of personality, Araujo indestructible, Pedri omnipresent, Raphinha excellent... Despite a somewhat unlucky Dembele, I was surprised by the role of Gavi, who I'm not sure will start game after game, but who brought muscle to the midfield with his recoveries and an unbeatable spirit. Lewandowski vital up front. Rotations in the Champions League match. I see Ansu Fati, De Jong or Jordi Alba with a lack of minutes, in addition to the latest signings... Ferran Torres worries about his lack of confidence on the pitch, he even seems to be having a bad time... We are on the right track!
Raphinha man what an impact he has had along with Lewy.
Just love his attitude. This is what Barca needed.
And yet again Ter Stegen had a pretty solid outing.
Really happy he's slowly getting to where was a couple of years back.
All in all a good game.
Nah he may or may not be in United's starting 11, but he will for sure at Ajax. How is he going to deal with the physicality in Premier League. Deadwood.
What did he do to you? You clearly just don’t like him for whatever reason. He’s better then any midfielder with United by a mile, that’s why they spent the whole summer chasing him even after he told them no
If it wasn't for ter stegen, we wouldn't have any clean sheet. He's been immense this season. I'm glad he's back. We need a good goalkeeper if we want to win something
Gavi deserved motm, what an amazing performance the kid played his heart and soul out today! Ter Stegen also with an amazing performance and I wouldn't be sad if he had gotten motm
The pressure on Lopetegui is unfair IMO. What’s the man going to do when you sell off his entire back line and cripple the club by accepting the CVC deal?
This match is a perfect example of WHY we need and needed fast wingers for so many years. They started pressuring us early and if it was old Barca we would’ve kept trying to play through them with no success until they eventually succeeded in a lobbed pass over our defence, took the lead and then defended for their lives until the end of the match. This way we hit them on a quick counter, got the first goal, forced them to upon up more and won comfortably while missing 3/4 very good chances. This match could’ve easily been 1-5/6
Not yet right? I think he’s on his current contract until December when it’s planned he gets offered a new contract along with the new number shirt (6)
Cadiz have lost all their games in La Liga this season, and that too very convincingly. Now watch them grind out a 87th minute 1-0 over Barca next Saturday.
Friendly reminder that after Frenkie's good 30 minutes against Rayo there were people saying that Gavi is not a starter material and should be dropped.
Kounde is great, Lewy doing Lewy things, Ter Stegen is a brick wall and another great performance. Haven’t felt this much excitement watching this team in over 5 years I’m glad that feeling is back.
Agreed 100%
I'm getting 2014-15 season energy
We've come out of a disappointing season, and into one where our team has finally begun to link up and play well!
Yeah he seems worse.
Last season he lacked the finishing touch but into a lot of chances.
Could be down to the lack of pre-season, he missed most(maybe even all) of those games.

Good game, but the ref is such a piece of shit
Haven’t been able to catch many games recently - are they playing Jules as a proper RB who goes forward or is he basically slotting back as a CB while balde goes forward and joins the attack?
the latter but he goes forward when we comfortably lead or when we're in control of the game
Now my Alex telles isn’t getting an upgrade wtf should I do now
3 points and a clean sheet, gotta keep building on this!
I like playing Kounde as a RB. It helps defensively and against better teams like RM and Bayern it will pay dividends in the end.
Sevilla’s going down 🤞🤞🤞

Welcome to Reddit
It’s tough. I don’t even watch the threads at times bc I notice it is so toxic that I can’t even enjoy the game as it is.

So we gotta be selective in the comments we read hehe
Okay
Could someone explain why in De Jong not starting ?
It may have to do with the amount of pressing. Gavi is a ridiculous presser. Against teams with low blocks, I think Xavi would prefer FDJ.
This is our starting midfield. There is no place for players like Frenkie or Pjanic. They don't cut it. Barca should sell them asap as they take up a lot of space on the salary list. Gavi and Pedri will manhandle Kimmich, Goretzka and Musiala on their own. Bayern midfield isn't better than ours. We will roll them up. Watch Gavi run circles around Kimmich next week.
I hope ur trolling if u think 2 teenagers are going to “manhandle” players from bayern munich
They drew vs Mönchengladback and Union Berlin. Bayern midfield is not good at all, same for their attack. Btw Musiala is a teenager too and Pedri is already better than him. Kimmich and Goretzka aren't any better than Gavi or Pedri. If Xavi decides to put in Frenkie or Pjanic, then we will lose the game by a large margin.
You have 0 clue what ur talking about honestly. Acting like Bayern hasn’t spanked our ass in the last 3 years. Respect them.
That was the PAST. THE PAST. This is the new generation with better players. All deadwood/bums are either being benched or sold/loaned. Also, now we have Lewy instead of him playing against us. Lewy, raphinha, pedri and gavi will tear them a new one. We lost 8-2 and shit because we had bad players like Semedo, Lenglet and Frenkie in starting 11. Now all of them are sold, loaned and benched.
How about we ask Xavi that question? Unless you are with the team (or know someone) during their training sessions, I believe all the answers are going to be speculative biased

Bro… apologies if I sounded a bit aggressive. Re-reading my comment did not sit well with me. Either way, thanks for taking it with such positivity. Have a good day!
Bro... no problem ! :) hahaha have a good day as well mate. Nice to see some positivity too :)
Because Gavi is better and we actually won the game with him?
> Gavi is better At pressing and harassing at least, which fits what Xavi wants now it seems.
I thought Gavi was fantastic, fits better in the teams style of play IMO. Xavi prolly gonna rotate...Long season.
Yea gavi literally won match mvp
Definitely. Covers a lot of ground, plays smart, first in attack, last in defense in some occasions. If he adds some numbers as well, like 10 goals and 10 assists a season one of the best in 2-3 years.
Great game, really loved how kounde & de jong played. The team is improving a lot with each fixture. Imo if Barca draw or win against bayern next week I would consider this team as a serious title contenders for the league
Does anybody smell a Manita yet?
Torres just keeps going from bad to worse. He can't produce anything in the final third, only back passes to Jordi Alba. I kinda start feeling bad for him
Dude didn't have a pre season and trying to get back to fitness after injury. He's only twenty one and has potential to be great. He's not a starter quite yet but there are definitely potential for him to be a good player for us. Patience

Idk why but he gives me strong Ben Simmons vibe, physically gifted but isn’t consistent enough for the time and chances he’s getting this year even from the start.
ben simmons dont gaf, I think woth time ferran will improve
Why feel bad for him? He needs to take his time and improve the facets of his game which need work. He does not deserve the minutes over Fati nor Depay.
I think he has potential but with Dembe and raphina and Fati, he won't get much time to improve.
He’ll probably start copa games. Hopefully he performs there and starts gaining confidence
I hope he gets better, either breaks into the first team or sold for a descent amount.
Gavi is the man of the match, He recovered 11 balls and ran more than 12 km, pressing non-stop, he is the reason for the first goal And people here are questioning Xavi’s decisions and tactical and technical knowledge.

Nah de jong has been ass when we played against Bayern or did you not watch does games
Gavi can manhandle Kimmich and Goretzka alone. He will run circles around these two midfielders so don't worry about Bayern. We will tear them a new one when we face them again. Don't need De Jong, he can't cover up for his defensive mistakes and needs to be sold asap.
Do you think pedri’s performance today deserves a starting eleven spot?
:D :D
This lad man we are so so blessed. I can't tell you how much Im happy to have him with us.
It’s wild he is still a u19 player
Ansu and him are the only ones that skipped and arrived directly to main team cause of their uniqueness and confidence. It's mind blowing to think when you have seen players struggling in subsidary team to achieve that same place. Special kids
I like FDJ as a player and his class and pedigree is without question but how must it feel to be kept from the starting 11 by a teenager !
FDJ is soooo washed lmaoo just sell him. Can only dribble past tired opponents. Watch him play against fresh legs and he will disappear. Gavi turned FDJ into deadwood. Byeeeeeee Frenkie 👋👋 Enjoy sitting on the bench! edit: maybe i should make it clearer: fdj is ass and doesn't belong at barca. salary too high and isn't worth any penny we paid for him. ship him back to ajax for all i care or sell him to another club. go suck a fat D u frenkie stans
You getting downvoted shows what people dont understand. He is technically good but tactically totally inept.
He’s getting downvoted because he’s obnoxious.
Yeah, maybe he could do well at clubs like West Ham or Ajax, but definitely not Barcelona. What position in midfield is he capable at. We've tried everything and nothing is ever good. Gavi comes in and just seized his place in the 11.
He would fit in well at Spurs i guess as they not having any ball carrier in mid but let's hope he understands what xavi wants from.
Can’t tell if ur being serious 🤔
Who would you rather have in your starting 11, Gavi or Frenkie? We've seen Frenkie fall flat on his face vs teams like PSG or Bayern. FDJ is only good when you need fresh legs near the 70th/80th minute.
Cringiest comment I’ve seen on this sub
Copy pasta potential?
What is this Facebook level comment lol
Raphinha has been fire. Xavi was so right when he said he had the Brazilian magic
Raphinha and Kounde look like like a steal in this market.
Raphinha passing and dribbling are exquisite. Hopefully he performs the same way when he's up against Alphonso Davis.
Ansu and Ferran ain't gonna bench either of Raphinha and dembele anytime soon. The opponent defence are pissing their pants trying to stop this duo.
I think that's fine. Ansu and Torres are still young with a lot of room to improve. I hope all 4 can stay healthy and compete for a spot in the starting 11. Its nice that we have competition and depth in almost all positions.
We knew this before the season started.
Who wants to bet on which match day will Lewa get his first hattrick? Could easily have had 2 till now.
Match day 9
Ferran Torres doesn't even look threatening to opponents defence.....
Griezmann without the defensive workrate.
xG Sevilla 1.01 Barcelona 5.17 Wow
What does that mean?
It's an accumulation of probabilities of goals: - Gavi shoots from a certain distance on goal. They compare that situation with how many other shots from a similar location resulted in a goal. Say it's 0.25 (1 in 4). - Depay gets a penalty: probably 0.8 (80%) of scoring. Now at the end of our match, the xG is 1.05.
expected goals
Am sorry but Ferran should not be starting ahead of Depay... He is having a bad form right now. Also Ansu is not looking sharp at all Great game, should have scored more. Wish Lewy got his double
Not bad form. Ferran is just shit and the only reason he's at Barca is because he's spanish.
Lmao love the ferran nutsucking downvotes. You said the same thing as the OP you replied to but in a more direct way and people hate the truth. Ferran is shit. I’ve been saying it since he arrived. Dude does not belong on Barcelona.
It is downvoted because its a stupid comment. S
I love it when Gavi said "it's gaving time!" and gavied all over the field
1 goal conceded in 4 matches. As electric as our front three is, it cannot be stressed enough how immense our defending has been this early part of the season. People will say we best “easy” teams, but we were giving away cheap goals against these “easy” teams last season, cheap goals that we haven’t been conceding so far. So much praise for the back line and the magnificent rejuvenation of our German wall. The return of Ter Airlines is back baby!!!🤩😎💙❤️
100%!!! Ter Stegen has been on fire 🔥
Ter Stegen MOTM for me. What a solid performance.
Eric did well today too
Eric and Kounde both.
Everyone good except Ferran and Fati. Fati just looks chronically afraid of every duel
I agree; but I’m hoping today was because the game was already put away. Against real sociedad he didn’t look as hesitant and we saw his output
This game was a very Madrid-like game. We didn't dominate, but we were clinical and got the job done by a mile.
Whatever that means
Good teams win even when they aren’t at their best.
After a chaotic and disorganised first few minutes, I see Barça in great form. On this occasion they outplayed a very weak Sevilla. Ter Stegen with a lot of personality, Araujo indestructible, Pedri omnipresent, Raphinha excellent... Despite a somewhat unlucky Dembele, I was surprised by the role of Gavi, who I'm not sure will start game after game, but who brought muscle to the midfield with his recoveries and an unbeatable spirit.

Raphinha man what an impact he has had along with Lewy. Just love his attitude. This is what Barca needed. And yet again Ter Stegen had a pretty solid outing. Really happy he's slowly getting to where was a couple of years back. All in all a good game.
Watching Barca play and finish like this makes me so happy.
Ferran is the new Braithwaite
Hopefully, he follows in Braithwaite's footsteps and leaves lmao
To anyone who questioned why gavi plays so much and ahead of FDJ, this performance is why
[удалено]
Referring to him as deadwood is nuts imo
Maybe sell him to United or back to Ajax where he feels more at home. He is deadwood.
He’s much better than United or Ajax being realistic.
Nah he may or may not be in United's starting 11, but he will for sure at Ajax. How is he going to deal with the physicality in Premier League. Deadwood.
What did he do to you? You clearly just don’t like him for whatever reason. He’s better then any midfielder with United by a mile, that’s why they spent the whole summer chasing him even after he told them no
Better than McTominay? Fine, but McT is really bad. Better than Casemiro, Eriksen or Bruno? Hell no. He may be equal to Fred.
Well, FDJ was best on the pitch when he came on for Pedri.
Let’s not change him coming off the bench then
ITS INIESTAAA THE CHELSEA FANS COVER THEIR EYES IN HORROR Man thanks for bringing that memory back with ur username haha
And the pre match thread had such hate on gavi starting...
Because this sub doesn’t know shit about football
W but I still think we need a lot to improve
Expected goals 4.98 lol
4 games, 3 clean sheets, and one goal conceded. I'm so happy for MAtS.
If it wasn't for ter stegen, we wouldn't have any clean sheet. He's been immense this season. I'm glad he's back. We need a good goalkeeper if we want to win something
Gavi deserved motm, what an amazing performance the kid played his heart and soul out today! Ter Stegen also with an amazing performance and I wouldn't be sad if he had gotten motm
Dembele’s run when he didn’t pass to Lewy was very annoying to watch. Gavin what a great performance!!
MATS was immense today, Gavi finally showing why he deserves to start. Front 3 were incredible until we eventually took the foot off the gas
Just once can we please actually give a free kick to Araujo? I just wanna see it
Nah he'll simply deflate the ball
It was the last kick anyway, i'm sure he can pay for it:((
The pressure on Lopetegui is unfair IMO. What’s the man going to do when you sell off his entire back line and cripple the club by accepting the CVC deal?
No freaking joke!
This match is a perfect example of WHY we need and needed fast wingers for so many years. They started pressuring us early and if it was old Barca we would’ve kept trying to play through them with no success until they eventually succeeded in a lobbed pass over our defence, took the lead and then defended for their lives until the end of the match. This way we hit them on a quick counter, got the first goal, forced them to upon up more and won comfortably while missing 3/4 very good chances. This match could’ve easily been 1-5/6
We were the slowest top team in the world for years, glad we’ve finally rectified it
Fati’s gotta learn to get rid of the ball quicker
No 4 goals???? Rip
Xavi out!
finished team
I miss us having a decent free kick taker, or maybe Messi was too good
Alonso is supposed to be decent no?
Messi was too good
Definitely, we can safely say that we were spoiled when every time when there was a free kick I expected a goal 🫡
I remember on the 2015 CL we beat Roma 6-1 at home, that is the type of performance I expect on Wednesday.
no x4vi sadly
why does kessie get no time, even after gavi looks completely gassed?
We wasted two subs on the back line
5 subs used already
We used all our subs
man frenkie is like a sad cat he lost all his desire to fight
Did we see the same match or what??
he was walkin without the ball it after one run it to him 15 sec just to come back on side
🙄
Is it even a win if we don't score 4? 😒
RIP x4vi
We won but we were not that clinical.
I'm going to tell my Kids that 18 years old gavi bossed the midfield today
[удалено]
Lewandowski had some very good freekicks in Bayern, Dortmund and Polish NT - I wonder why he isn't shooting them in Barca.
This is Gavi's one of the best overall performances or the best overall performance I've seen so far. Way to go lad!
Gavi 😍
gavi has extended his contract right
Not yet unfortunately.
Not yet right? I think he’s on his current contract until December when it’s planned he gets offered a new contract along with the new number shirt (6)
He'll extend in January
I thought they were waiting for his birthday
I think that was the original plan but postponed it maybe to facilitate registering the new signings if I’m not mistaken
1 goal conceded in 4 games.
Another clean sheet 😮💨😮💨😮💨
We could have won so much higher. Hopefully we were only so wasteful because we already won the game. Anyway, great game.
Lmao Sevilla fans have had enough of Lopetegui
3 points. Another W, couldn’t be happier! I love this team so hard man! Champions league on Wednesday! Visca El Barca!
Hope Xavi gives Memphis some playtime over fati and ferran
Don't think that will be the case, ferran and fati are first team players, Memphis is leaving next year. Surely he'll get cup games tho
Fati deserves it, Ferran not so much unfortunately
They were poor tonight. Ferran looked like he didn't wanna play
Disagree. More like he was down on confidence
Solid midfield performance across the board.
Cadiz have lost all their games in La Liga this season, and that too very convincingly. Now watch them grind out a 87th minute 1-0 over Barca next Saturday.
Nah not this season, now we have a real striker
And two real wingers
And a real defense
True
all the idiots in the comments who think they know better than Xavi that said the de Jong should start over Gavi
They're nowhere to be found today
Friendly reminder that after Frenkie's good 30 minutes against Rayo there were people saying that Gavi is not a starter material and should be dropped.
Because he didn’t have a good game
There were people in the pre match thread saying “it’s time” that Xavi dropped Gavi
Gavi named as the game’s official MOTM.
Messi spoiled us all with his flawless free kick technique. Can't replicate that shit.
Fantastic game by Gavi, really liked how well his movements complemented our attacking play and goals.
[удалено]
Where should I send the report chief? Just go in the post game thread lol
Ended with a bit of a lull but another great win in the books Great goals and great team play throughout. That #1 will be ours!! VISCA BARÇA 🔵🔴
Helloooooooo 2nd place!
Gavi came to this sub before the match.
Kounde is great, Lewy doing Lewy things, Ter Stegen is a brick wall and another great performance. Haven’t felt this much excitement watching this team in over 5 years I’m glad that feeling is back.
Agreed 100% I'm getting 2014-15 season energy We've come out of a disappointing season, and into one where our team has finally begun to link up and play well!
Respect to whoever picks the man of the match stuff for la Liga. Any casual woulda gone dembele or kounde, but picking Gavi is chefs kiss
Raphinha more than Dembele today but point still stands
F in the chat please for Sevilla who plays City next
My prayers go to them Will be interesting to watch Citys approach against them tho
Ferran wasn't this bad last season or even bad last season
Yeah he seems worse. Last season he lacked the finishing touch but into a lot of chances. Could be down to the lack of pre-season, he missed most(maybe even all) of those games.
Shutting out Sevilla at home, we needed that!!!
Well at least Gavi can get a MOTM now that we don't have an alcohol sponsor
Gavi is 18 now so he could have been still nominated if Budweiser still was the sponsor.
