You don't seem to understand the problem of Barcelona. Barcelona has ideology problem and coaching problem. Barcelona team has great individual players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Dembele, Fati, De Jong and many more that I cannot mention. They have players that can match Bayern Munich and other clubs but Xavi got it wrong. Why do you want Dembele to leave? Is Dembele the problem of Barcelona?
Barcelona has good players they need Xavi to change method.
They are obsessed with tiki taka but they did not realize that tiki taka has already been decrypted by so many coaches and teams. If they keep continuing to obsess with tiki taka, they are self-damage their progress to rebuild the club.
Not mention their player quality nowadays is worse than years ago and they should accept a fact that Barcelona nowadays are no longer belong to most powerful clubs in the Europe. If they accept it, they will have a more relevant approach, use a better tactics for their players.
Additionally, a club can not rely solely on attacking to win matches and titles. They can if their attacking system is dominating in all matches and can cover weakness of defense. In reality, it is not what Barcelona attacking system have in this season.
Barcelona have the required players to meet up Bayern Munich strength in UEFEA and the both team players have the finished strikers with skillful wingers. There's absolutely nothing wrong with barça players, it's just that Xavi always start with the wrong lineups.
I disagree with this comparison. Barcelona have a lower quality than Bayern Munich and they are completely at different levels. Bayern belongs to Tier 1 and Barcelona belong to somewhere in between Tier 2 and Tier 3. That is why they will join Europa League soon.
He should start the good players other than the familiar ones, like Frankie de Jong who have the strength to defend and he's also creative. There are also some players in the team that he give them insufficient playing time like Ansu Fati, I believe Fati is one key player because he's versatile and always good with forcing the ball to his opponents box. It's time for Xavi to drop the old players and start with the young ones who are eager to play games.
I agree that both De Jong and Fati should be given more opportunities to play. They are both good players especially De Jong who was a very important player for Barcelona before the return of Xavi.
Fati actually needs chance to play and improve after a long injury in the past season. I don't expect an outstanding performance instantly from Fati but Xavi must give this player more playing time.
@hd49728 Xavi started well, but he’s trying hard to please the board by taking decisions like keeping
De Jong out of the team or playing him in defence and when a coach does that it effects the entire team’s morale.
Furthermore even though they’re out of the champions league they can yet challenge for the La Liga title if Xavi choses player’s on their merits and tweaks his system to accommodate his current set of player’s, but if he choses to repeat his mistakes then he’ll not win the league title this season too.
