1. Raphinha is trying too much, needs to calm down

2. Why Araujo is playing LCB?

3. I’ll never forget somebody said “We got the only Brazilian who can’t dribble past somebody” and every time I watch Raphina I chuckle

   Clarity: I like him

4. Oriol sticks out like a sore thumb. Movement is so bad

5. is it me or do all our forwards have a bad first touch , atleast atm

6. lol @ Lewy making all those runs only to end up without service

7. Offside ig

8. That’s some great play

9. Malcom was better than Raphinha ngl, he just never got any backing from Valverde

10. Come back LewanGOALski

11. Gundo’s passes are beautiful to watch

12. How are Shaktar even in this competition? Isn’t there a war in Ukraine?

13. Nice link up by ferran and gundo

14. Very good run by Ferran

15. This is what happens when you have 2 useless fullbacks and wingers.

16. He is so bad and slow now.

17. Araujo please don’t make long balls, thanks xo

18. why araujo…

19. what is lewa doing

20. Ugh Lewandowski could have kept that in play if he didn’t flop

21. Christensen 🙏

22. Lewy is trying to do too much, just hit goals sir

23. Araújo is straight up built different

24. Once everyone is fit, what’s stopping us from playing Gundogan as a DM? Is he a bad DM?

25. Shark should only be a sub from now on

26. Sharp pass romeu

27. Who misses times when 2 Joaos were ballin on UCL matchday 1? Don’t know what happened to them after that

28. 23 minutes, zero shots on target

29. Hard game to watch

30. Why was romeu kissing the ref there in transition

31. Our offense is kinda ass I am afraid

32. Gavi is so invisible. He needs to play defensive to shine

33. Our away fans have been non stop, I like it.

34. It is just me or we have quite some Culers in the field today? (Judging from the crowd’s responses)

35. Yeah we’re not making it passed RO16

36. Ship Xavi off to Saudi, I’ve seen enough. Attacking football is dead

37. They playing on ice ?

38. I don’t know why this team is so ASS at pressing. Even Valverde’s team with much older players was way better.

39. Ferran needs to do those one touch wall passes. How are you a professional and miss those? Not acceptable.

40. Raphina is so fucking frustrating to watch

41. I’m starting to suspect that many of the players in the squad don’t have the quality to play the style of football Xavi coaches.

    What I’m seeing in many matches is just poor quality – bad first touch, inaccurate passing and lack of awareness.

    It makes sense, because the transfer policy gas been extremely constrained by club finances.

    But it’s quite obvious that if this is the case, Xavi will die on his sword

42. So bad at pressing
