  1. Dest is better than Xavi. I hate barca for treating players like trash. Imagine what Hansi is doing with these young players. Xavi would bench all of them and call them trash. Dest was right i watch him going forward with the ball which is his position of strenght. Leadership is everything

  2. He was never good enough to be at barça to begin with 😂 can't defend 😂 he was their because his from USA and they knew they would sell shirts and benefit off him 😂 to help barça financial situation

  3. All I can say is, as much as dest needed improvement, Xavi had his favorite players even when they sucked out there and gave no other players a chance

  4. I was never a fan of xavi, here’s more proof. People saying he just wasn’t good enough don’t watch enough Barca to know he never got games

  5. if u are good at going forward as a defender u have to good enough like marcelo or jordi alba…or legend enough like dani aleves who does both very well..

  6. He can't recover when he leaves spaces behind and he isn't that decisive to sacrifice the fullback on the other side (to be instructed to defend). Talented player, but he isn't the total package, he could've been a rotational piece though, but money is an issue. Xavi said he had good qualities that he needed to show consistently. Barca needed to reduce the wage bill so it's jot just Xavi, maybe he didn't justify his salary if he was paid like a starter.

  7. Just not good enough at either defending or attacking. Xavi likely wanted to give him a chance and not ruin his confidence, but he just didn't perform, so had to go. Not to mention, Barca needed money.

  8. So many people criticize Dest because they think he’s American because he plays for the USMNT but he’s actually Dutch. He’s basically like Frimpong but doesn’t get criticized like him. People do the same with Antonee Robinson where he was probably in the top 2 of Premier League left backs last seasons but people call him overrated because he plays for the USMNT. He would easily be England’s left back if he would have chosen to play for them instead.

  9. a player doesn't suit the manager's purpose and tactics. of course, the player will voice his unhappiness. but let's get one thing straight right off, xavi's primary concern and i dare say, loyalty should be to the club and the fans, not dest. the manager is not obligated to keep his promises to just one player if the club's interest is at stake. do we know why xavi changed his mind about selling dest? we all know that barca has problems with their books. it may just be he is forced to trim the squad by the accountants. that's the way it goes, dest. sorry.

  10. If dest, Tyler Adams, gio rena, Tim weah and balogun did not play, how do you think we're gonna look, and their absences brings back a loss against usmt. These players that are missing are superstars and well respected in europe
