Yea there's a defensive problem.
Not with the personnel, but we can't afford to play without some ball-winner (*cough* Gavi *cough*) in Midfield.
Gundo - FdJ double pivot exposes FdJ defensively more than it benefits him.
Fort might just be the solution, since he inverts inside compared to Balde who prefers to plays out wide.

Nah, de Jong is one of the best in the world at first phase buildup. Without him, Barca were struggling hard this season.
He just isnt a Busquets defensively.
Basically Xavi believed Romeu, Roberto & Gavi will be able to fill the Busquets sized hole in midfield. Romeu wont even make a mid table La Liga team's 11, Roberto is 10% ability 90% gumption.
Gavi did well but he tore his ACL. Gundogan was never supposed to do that, he's best played forward as an 8 in between the lines and inside the box. He's been forced to do this job because Xavi doesnt have options.
This season is the difference in level - going from having Busquets & Alba to playing not having them. No wonder that left flank is dead & the midfield's shape defensively is easy pickings for any decent attack.

Missing busquets and gavi hurts a lot
De jong isnt worth the salary he is taking + he is not big game player, almost what, 6-7 years here? And zero half iconic games
Even balde and kessie have them in like 1 season
De jong always plays bad under pressure, im tired of him tbh, i'd easily flip him and buy Aliex garcia, hoping gavi doesnt drop quality

He has mastered the art of always looking busy, his problem is unlike Xavi he barely takes any danger, hus defending is shit as well, you could see that in the third goal. He should be aiming to create at least 3/4 games per game and attempting shots, same with that little twat pedri, his peers have surpassed him (Jude)
They not the problem but they can a lot more than whatever they're now which is my point, pedri, frenkie more often than not it's at least one or two good chsnces created per match (don't look just a the stats but the quality of said chances in their comps) and that is not enough, which is why i said they should be aiming higher than 2.
It is indeed true that our forwards are dogshit but frenkie and pedri should shoot more also.

Which is why getting rid of Xavi and getting a competent manager is important, i dont care about whether flick football goes against 'the barca way, but i need a proven winner like him here, all players are a bunch softies, Xavi time is over, keeping him would be just prolonging the inevitable while with a new manager things can be saved.
True, i wasn't a fan of felix when he joined so i was not surprised with how much ups and downs he has.

Yh, i know but seeing as Xavi is himself catalan and part of the greatest period of this club's history so that is why he is reveared. Anyways Laporta won't sack him because he still thinks like he did in 2003 with Rijkaard and see if it works out at the end of the season. I dont see us winning the league so no trophy which will hopefully mean Xavi leaves at the end of the season.
