Injuries. Dont blame it on xavi.
GOD, please no Tuchel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all I like this show a lot, secondly for us the real fans of Barca Xavi will be Xavi nothing changes just giving us all those amazing kids that's more than enough for us Xavi give us the future of FC Barcelona 💙❤️
Tactically and strategically is something that Xavi has shown he’s not competent, the futbol Xavi played and is being seen on the pitch, there’s nothing resembling Barca DNA, be honest here our expectations were very high of him and he didn’t live up to it, at this moment he’s not the right coach for Barca.
I believe that leadership in barca has been really bad for a long time
Xavi brings legitimacy and strength to the club… he’s being framed.
Him leaving is not about not reaching certain goals its about the clubs extreme philosophy of success becoming unbearable for him. The pressure is way to high
No one ever mentions Lucho as no one ever mentions Villa. I think people don't like Sporting.
Xavi's is not bad, but he is not also the perfect fit for THIS Barcelona.
He has a very strict system does need very particular profiles.
Not good for a club that doesn't have money for players.
We need someone that would plan tactics for existing players.
Henry with the facts
I agree with that. Way too soon
So Xavi is not modern???? His won them the league and cup!!!
I agree with Henry. FCB should be rebuilding with Xavi
It’s not about the money or
The injuries it’s the style of play it’s boring
It's a shame that the smartest culer is Henry in London when in social media fans don't understand that financial limitations, injuries and referees have influence in results… Barça have a toxic fan base…
downhill since Messi…
Like for Micah and Titi. The other guy is a nobody compared to Xavi.
During a new era and rebuilding the team in the process this man helped us win La Liga 2022/2023. I’m so proud of Xavi and wish he wasn’t leaving. I know he’s capable of being a great coach and sadly things aren’t going as well as planned this season so far but we’re still in it! The pressure unfortunately has gotten to him, they’re making this man break on the pitch. He defends his players during the game that’s why he complains(and gets an undeserving yellow card to be provoked) and you see the passion he has for Barcelona when he does, he clearly wants to win. I hope we do great in the champions league this season and possibly win la liga again, it’s still very possible. The players needs to be held accountable for the teams form right now too, not just him, the players get tired too quickly, give up or just are inconsistent with making goals. He won us la liga at least in his full 1st year as a coach, he deserves props and gratitude for accomplishing that so fast! If he truly leaves then I hope he returns to coach Barca again soon, he doesn’t deserve this, and yes he’s made mistakes but no one is perfect. Let’s try and win la liga and especially the champions league please Barca I know you’re capable of doing so, it’s all in your hands now, it’s right within your grasp. Good luck and God Bless.💙❤
Because it is a mistake
The problem is the spanish media, they are killing him since the begining. Even when he won the league. Real Madrid has much power in Spain
Xavi quit on barça because there are no funds and backing
Let's also not forget that Luis Enrique, another cule, also left because of the pressure. Despite having won a treble with them.
I hope there is still time for xavi to change his mind.
Guardiola had some very strong squads. He is a lucky guy
Hopefully he gets a good new project. Maybe Germany or Italy.
Marcelo Gallardo would do great
Titi would be great as part of directive in Barcelona
If the reason of his departure is not personal, then this is the end of glory FC Barcelona, mark my words.
What a disgrace
the injury is the most problematic part of barcelona this season
What Xavi achieved is great as a coach. Post Messi era started better than expected. He should stay.
Titi should start as Barcas New Manager
Big mistakes Xavi the only manager that deserves to stay all his life without wining. Thank you Thierry Henry.
It's hard to bring Deco as sportive director to Xavi.
This is simply nonsense from Henry….. Everybody is being so emotional about Xavi because he is the legend of the game that he is. If any other coach than Xavi had played the way we have been doing for three seasons, being that miserable in Europe and hasn’t developed the team at all, every of these so-called pundits would have said that of course the manager should be sacked…..
We have to turn 3:42 into a meme!
The issue with Barca they want immediate results let him build Barcelona
He's had a horrible year, I think he's lost the squad and he doesn't know how to get them back together as a unit. Signs of a inexperienced manager. A football legend but no where near suited for the job. Crisisim from the press shouldnt be frounded upon use it to fix the minor errors in the team. But you want to leave so really they, should fire him now.
Hearing the on-field reporter you'd think Barça won la Liga with a different coach !!! In Barcelona many expected they were going to be thrashed by Napoli….they've been awfully harsh to Xavi
Last season Barca didn't won the league because of Xavi. It was RealMadrid it self who paved the way for Barca by doing lots of lots of silly mistakes in league games.
Tt should stay out of Coaching expertise also. He couldn't do it himself so..
They should accept the fact that they are rebuilding, and they need someone loyal to journey with them.
Barcelona are worst fans i ever seen . Barca fans too long living in glory day when messi xavi iniesta busquests puyol ronaldinho alba alves abidal been there and when there are just midtable team now they cant accept and i feel terrible how they treat they legend koeman who give their first ucl in their history and know their treat xavi their legend same like koeman . Be grateful barca fans and respect u legend
They should get Arteta
💙❤️
There is a reason Pep was only in Barcelona for 3 seasons and he has been at man city for 3 times that amount of time
What he's Saying!!! They Hired him to do a Job NOT TO Make Photo With him !
By Chance he win LaLiga Last Year, NOT Because he's Good, and YOU Can See That Clearly This Year.
Yes he's a Good Player BUT We are Talking about Coach Need to Lead his Team and Get Results, he Accepted That and he Getting Salary for This Job.
He selected New Players This Season and ALL of Them International Players, Okay 80% of Them With Excellent Expeience, and They Worked Perfectly in Their Previous Clubs, So Why NOT Now ????
I Think he's NOT Qualified for This Duty and he did'nt have Enough Experience to Lead a Team in Barcelona Level and in LaLiga, he Worked in Qatar and I dair YOU Or any of Barchelona Fan to Count 3 Clubs in Qater Or 2 ?
That's his Level and he Will Stay in Europe Without Job Because NO ONE Would Like to Risk With XAVI
At the end it’s Xavi to blame for the most part. Huge mistakes with they players he asked for (Torres, Lewa, Raphina) and couldn’t get the best out of top players for 2.5 years. He won the league but there was no indication where the team was going. Horrible tactics, horrible in game changes, etc. He is a legend but can’t be a coach at an elite level now
This is why this crew is my favorite. They understand and look past just the now. All these other people just critiquing and shaming this squad and Xavi which is much to harsh than they deserve.
I think henry is right! 😢
