Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
I don't understand Xavi insistence on playing Ferran Torres who has been under performing. I cannot believe he is a starter over Auber. His preference of the former Barca products will be his undoing.

He has done better than I felt he could do. I will be watching his progress with interest.
Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
Auber has been starting but his form dipped a bit. He might have an issue we don't know about.
Otherwise, I also don't get the Ferran Torres hype either. The guy routinely gets in good positions but wastes them yet he still gets numerous opportunities.
Memphis has been more dangerous but doesn't start as much. It's got to be the Spanish bias.
Xavi could be playing him to help work through his mental block since the team has basically wrapped up the season.
Ansu is back, so let's see how much more game time Ferran will get.

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
I am surprised you think Auba's form had dipped a bit and just to prove you wrong he scored a brace. How many goals did he go without scoring ? Welll, when a striker is very prolific and goes 3 matches without scoring then it might be considered a dip. But then he wasn't given ninety minutes or alot of minutes.
Xavis stock are high because of Auba and not showing confidence in Auba will only backfire on Xavi.

Seems you dont know who you are speaking to. That slave will do whatever it takes to stand behind his master! He even threw an African brother under the bus, lying, just to defend the master
I tell you! Cybereagles just continues to reveal how dead many Africans are in the brain and how alive slavery still is.

We are waiting for the full baked stats.
Seeing and understanding is one thing and you have proven over time that your understanding of the beautiful game very shallow, like you rubbishing the golden boot at the afcon.

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
I knew this was about that Cameroon waste-pipe who scored about 33% of his chances.
Go and compare Toko Ekambi's AFCON stats to your golden boot boy. Any good coach will tell you who was the better player.

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
You have also shown that kiddy level arithmetic is above you. It is not the question of who was the better player but who was the highest goal scorer and it wasn't Toko Ekambi.
Serious comprehension problems. We are still waiting for the full baked stats. I won't bother asking you to provide a source or numbers to back the 33 percent because I know you can't.
Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
I always stated, during the tournament, that your golden boot boy was NOT even the best player on the Cameroon team.

That is a mark of a sore loser.
You throw around stats without thinking, then argue with someone who saw players in action, when you did NOT.
To put it kindly, that is not intelligent!

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
Barcelona is meant to be broke and struggling with wages, so where is this money to buy players coming from
So far €60m for Raphina and now Lewadonski for around €50million
More importantly what kind of team is Xavi building at Barcelona
