Could Xavi STAY as Barcelona coach, despite rumours linking Rafa Marquez to the job? This comes after Jude Bellingham scored a last-minute winner for Real Madrid in El Clasico, meaning Barça followed up their UCL loss to PSG with defeat against their biggest rivals in La Liga.

How do you feel right now?
Ship Cancelo
Let him stay cause he's d only one can help d team so legend xavi carry on boss
Joao Cancelo must be let go; he is liability in defence!
Try faye lb please cancelo dont care about defending fr
I see Cancelo as the same type of player as jordi Alba. He is incredible in la liga, but cant be relied on in Champions league or Huge games. Offensively they both are fantastic, but they both always costs goals and gets very nervous in the Big games.
I don’t understand why people want Xavi to stay. We have never played good football with him. Last season was pretty much catenaccio. So many 1-0 wins.
This year has been defensively atrocious, and we still can’t hold the ball against good teams. PSG dominated possession and created more chances against us.
Xavi is only the answer if we need someone cheap.
As for Cancelo, he has been doing it all season. It’s just that he wasn’t getting caught out against so many mid-level teams. But now the elite are punishing him. And now everyone knows to target him. It’s laziness. Puyol would never have made those mistakes.
In my opinion. The Cancelo issue shouldn’t even be a debate at all. The man should be kindly sent back to Man city.
Don’t get me wrong, not that I hate the man, No that’s far from the point. As a matter of fact, I love and respect him for all he’s done for the club so far and his passion is second to none, but
same mistakes in back to back matches is no coincidence and this types of mistakes can’t be accepted in a club like Barcelona.
There’s a reason why the best coach in the world doesn’t want him in his team. The man can’t defend for shit. I bet you, even Pep himself, still won’t keep him when he goes back to City
The defeat against madrid was so embarrassing. Madrid didn't need the win but they did, madrid also used 3 unnatural defenders. Furthermore, they used kroos and modric together which they don't due to old legs and we couldn't overrun them with athleticism. In truth some of the referees decisions were wrong but madrid played way better. Some players need to go while others need strong competition.
U r becoming quite the "politician." Stop with the daftness. People like Xavi don't have a "caretaker" mode. They are champions. And I said it then, and I'll say it again now, you we're one of the 1st to jump on the fire Xavi train. This kind of reactive, chaotic, A.D.H.D fandom is embarrassing when we made it to the quarters of C.L. with 17 yr olds, he is doing an impeccable Jon integrating the new talent, and there is no reason to even consider changing Xavi, given current circumstances. Now, next year is a different conversation, but if you're going to lobby for a coach, do so with an understanding of the entire situation. No catalan or spanish would suggest a German, no matter how many translators, especially when you're working so intensly with La Masia upcomers. It's about the culture, not the language!
I think Xavi should leave. I had a firm belief in Laporta after he became President for the second time. But some of the Barca decisions shocked me to a level where I am confused whether we will see Barca where it belongs to or not. 😢
I am All for xavi staying but there needs to be major squad revamp for me it could be:
1) Frenkie De Jong (good player but wrong profile for us)
2) Ferran Torres ( mediocre at best bad finishing)
3) Sergio dest alonso etc
4) Raphina ( he has been good but we need someone more better 1v1)
5) Romeu
All of this would bring around 260 mil to this club out of whichwe get to spend 100 mil this summer. Priorities this summer:
1) Kimmich (50 mil)
2) Leroy Sane (60 mil)
3) Bernado Silva (50 mil)
This should patch up the team and make it more balanced
Actually when I was watching el clasico and the unjustice, I had the feeling that he would chsnge his mind and stay to fight against this propaganda and unjustice in La Liga. He will fight with his heart he will fight for Barça!
We lapsed back into terrible defending and Cancelo is main culprit in PSG and Real
Might need to go back on Right
Back up LB for Balde and Kounde and has Fort
We need to address Lewy to cause he can’t be starting next season
xavi needs expirience, he should come back in a few years when he learned about coaching, but the biggest problem is his "mentality" 3 red cards, and idk how many yellows thats just not acceptable
We should not waste any money on cancelo. When he was playing rightback our right-wingers suffered because he kept holding onto the ball and not passing to them. His a liability and his old now.
Cancelo is way too casual. He should not be on the team. Not reliable for big games.
Cancelo is a RB! If anything, we can convert him into a LWF, as he's more of a threat in that area. He's horrible at defending, and even worse at LB! Whats going on with Balde?? Still injured?? The club needs to get a grip, and fast, otherwise, this mentality might ruin us. Anyway, Barca till my last breath!!
Here is something you Barca fans don’t want to hear… but are obviously are in crisis and can’t accept it. The fundamental problem with this club derives from your financial issues and until that is fixed, you guys are no longer a big club in Europe. I mean in name sake you are, but the big clubs and even the smaller ones in Europe no longer fear you guys. You can babble all you want about referees but don’t sit back and act like these decisions are going bad just for Barca bc that’s not true. Madrid had the final whistle literally blown in the midst of a goal agaisnt Valencia which is something we have NEVER seen before in football and other clubs in Spain have also experienced poor refereeing. And even the fact that you guys have the audacity to blame the refs while being investigated by the literal Spanish government for refereeing corruption is wild to me. On another note, you claim Madrid, city, the big clubs, etc… all get their players from having big budgets and while some of that is true, you guys have a bigger Net Spend than Real Madrid in the last ten years 😂😂😂 let that sink in… so to go pointing fingers saying “Madrid bought their success” is just crazy and insecure of you guys. It’s not anyone’s fault but yours that your transfers didn’t pan out and it ruined your club, that’s barcas fault and as soon as you realize that, you guys will b better off. Also… of the 20 teams in the first division of La Liga, only two teams voted not to raise Tebas pay, which was Real Madrid and Bilbao. Barcelona and everyone else voted to increase his wages so don’t go complaining about not having goal like technology if you’re voting to raise the man’s wages who doesn’t want it in his league 😂😂 Unfortunately, we live in an era of football where big transfers and higher transfers are happening and you need money to help boost your rosters and create a good team. We’ve seen Barcas La Masia players come and go being told that they’re the next Messi and looking at players like Fati and Puig, it doesn’t look so promising. You need to accept what you guys had from 2004-2015 may never be seen in world football ever again and if you don’t fix the club internally, and with the way Perez has structured his club and changed his whole approach and with mbappe coming next year, this will no longer be a rivalry like it used to be. Take this how you want, but it’s the truth… HALA MADRID
Hey bro I'm a huge fan of this channel since 2018 and I want to use your platform for the first time to voice my heart out because I'm heartbroken now 💔, We can't be going through this trauma over and over gain as if we're an average club. I wish you could bare what I go through when we get knocked out of Europe and other competitions. We need to change this when the market opens but honestly ,I get really mad on some of players that pops out on our transfer list . I understand our financial difficulties we can't compete if we don't spend neither too . We Need Change!!
Let not give cancelo too much pressure, after all the errors are from only two games.. There is room for improvement
I believe Benardo, Luiz Diaz , Bruno Guimaraes and another LB at low cost to compete with Blade next season will get us a huge boast in Europe next season . I wish the board could make it happened and trust me, we will deliver . Visca Barca 💙❤️
Thing is, FCB never seems to have a solid plan. we always seem to just rely on individual talent.
Xavi have to leave, he don't have the winning mentality, he makes the team playing with fear, that is why every time the have the lead thez stop playing forward to score more, the sit back to only defend and finally lose the game. He make the team play counter nature.
Hey Jamie can you talk about Roony Bardghji? I heard sources linking him with Barca.
Cancelo is very good going forward. Yes! But his primary responsibility is defending, which he knows nothing about.
I’ve said this before: he is a huge liability; just like Frenkie.
Have you ever wondered why Guardiola shipped him off? And why while on loan in Bayern, they hardly used him and could not buy him after his loan deal.
Point is: he’s only a useful squad player and a risky one for that matter
Honestly I will say it again, Xavi did all he could do. If we should do an evaluation of his time here it was successful. However he has reached his limit. The group of players we have are great, one of the better squads we have assembled. However the squad will suffer if he stays. Decisions like rest Lewy, Starting Roque, being more aggressive in matches and stop sitting off when we gain a lead. Plus the constant fitness and injury problems. Not to mention some of the times he lost control of the dressing room. It's gonna cost us, and I feel players are gonna usffer under his hands and their development will be hindered. Roque especially. One thing for sure if Xavi doesnt like you, you aint getting no minutes
Kessie was a fine example, cuz there is no way Romeu was better than Kessie. Even Yusif and Riqui felt it. At one point Raphina felt it as well. Without injuries to key players some of these guys would never see the light of day. With a new coach everyone will know that they will start from 0, so they will have to put in the work
Bro the guy is just tired he has hardly gotten any rest so come on a few months ago you needed him and now here you are talking so badly about the guy he just need a little rest
Yeah as a former LB/RB for my high school and club (ik very amateur but it proves my point more), I ALWAYS made sure there was no one sneaking out of my Peripheral vision when they were on the attack. I'd say it was 85% Cancelo's mistake, but if you replay it, you see Felix is watching as well and doesn't say anything to Cancelo about Vasquez running in. If I was Felix I'd simply yell "Cancelo, behind!" But again, definitely Cancelo's the major culprit
Xavi hasi failed big time. Spent money on the wrong players, how do you spend 60 million on ferran torres, he did auba dirty who was scoring goals for him. And Lewa another disaster. Barca needs xabi alonso or some big name coach who can put this club back on competing level.
The referies have been good, the problem rigth now is that they are not going on Barcelonas side like they always have been
I think xavi believes in this project he will want to prove everybody wrong next season he is the man to make barca top again💯🔥
I hope Xavi stays
Like the analysis
I just decided to stop watching La Liga. Can’t be giving my attention/money to a corrupt League like that.
Xavis is not experienced, he needs to leave and go improve his coaching career wit him next season trust me we r going no where. Xavi is comans type of coach who has this favouritism and know tacticts wat so ever. The board must stand there ground let them let him go. We dont have money but look at hw much we paid to bring playees last season wen we r at our lowest wen it comes to finance i dont understand barca anymore we r gradually tyrning to a middle class club
We need a left back now, Can’t rely on Cancelo
Cancelo out, Félix out, Lewa out. Send VR back to Brazil until he's grown up. Xavi out. Deco definitely out. And most important, Laporta out.
First of @talkfcb I agree with you. Xavi doesn't wanna stay, it's more like he's been forced to stay. Now the Q is Xavi the right person ?
To me no! We need a massive change in culture at this club, from the players' mentality to every single thing. I see the right man is Hansi Flick.
As far as Cancelo goes, despite the horrific mistakes he made, he has been one of our best players over all. We should sign him as he won't be our only option. We still hot Balde & Fort to push him. So it's great to have this world class options. As well as we might use Cancelo as a LM/ LW in front of BALDE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This club is so unserious man😢😢 how is Rafa Marquez even in the consideration to take over😢
I honestly want xavi to leave
😢i wish gavi wasn't injured
cancelo is weak . how can you play left back as a professional and have NO left foot ? i played left back as a right footed player and i taught myself to play with my left .
Joao Cancelo definitely dropped the ball in both of those big games but he has also HEAVILY contributed throughout our season, especially at a time when we lack quality fullbacks, let alone depth in that position. If you don't think we need to extend Cancelo, than I think there is no hope for you. We need Cancelo and Fort on the right, with Balde and someone else on the left.. The man has spent how many games forced to play out of position and has done far more good than bad with his time there.
The board and the President haven't spoken to anyone?!?!?!?!?!?!!? WHERE do you get your information from??? How do you know they haven't talked to anyone? The arrogance of this channel is wild!
Why not flick????
