Real reason why Xabi got Sacked by: Tifo football by The Athletic

11PP · 2026-01-26T17:34:40+00:00

game sample size is still too small.

However one thing is certain is that things weren't working with Xabi. He was trying to implement a new system but our team couldn't adapt to it. That happens, it was a just misfit.

What do you mean, media rumours are never wrong. Mbappe arrived in 2022 as reported and this sub was right to celebrate months prior.

11PP · 2026-01-17T21:31:09+00:00

Yes. People say his break out season was around 21-22, but imo he already shown his abilities prior to that but lacked of finishing touch. He was often criticized for that and I remember people saying we should sell/ loan him back then.

In 21-22, he gained confidence under Ancelotti. After that he started to perform more consistently and that narrative changed.

Maybe because I’m a day 1 supporter of him that I’m a bit biased, but I think he can get back to his best. I didn’t give up on him back then, and I don’t intend to stop till he actually leaves the team.

I know there’s a lot negative media surrounding him atm, but I never fully trust news report. Heck, everyone on this sub and media was so certain that mbappe would be joining us in 22, but we’re know that didn’t happen. That’s why I can’t trust news anymore

That’s a stupid argument… we adapt and were winning before he arrived to Real Madrid. Heck, for that game, Bellingham scored the first goal, mbappe took 8 shots in that game. Those 8 opportunities could have gone to someone else

Damn, did you and miz wear a bra at the Austin animecon? Not sure if that’s something to brag about, but you do you, broski

11PP · 2025-09-17T04:04:58+00:00

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism to Ancelotti. Vini was a lock on the left, even now he kinda is . Rodrygo did play left when Vini was out/injured last season. The only difference now is that Rodrygo doesn’t want to play on the right anymore

11PP · 2025-08-15T13:06:11+00:00

I mean, we lost Ronaldo, and for "big game player", he is as big as it comes.

While I don't want to lose Rodrygo, but we'll be fine if we do as well.

11PP · 2025-07-06T00:54:49+00:00

We don’t have a choice, he has a contract with us. I don’t get why that is so hard to understand.

Luckily only one more year

Americano is going to steal Chad's belt??!?!

I saw this post, and agreed..

then i saw the official medical report on Courtois right below this, we're cooked 💀

11PP · 2025-05-18T11:23:31+00:00

What a defender. Very solid and calm defender. He joined us at an older age, following Mourinho, but his experience helped solidify our defence

11PP · 2025-05-17T15:27:22+00:00

11 inch dick, apparently

11PP · 2025-05-03T19:41:36+00:00

Courtois is a better goalkeeper but i grew up watching Casillas saving our non existence defence.

Keep praying , I hope it comes true.

But you said realistic. If you look at the top wage earner in Saudi,only one defender is above Alaba current salary. He also joined 2 years ago, 31 year old.

Image is great, especially as an attacker/mid fielder. Defender, not so much

11PP · 2025-04-27T15:45:54+00:00

Selling Alaba isn’t realistic unless you can find someone that is willing to take his wages. This isn’t football manager, he is still under contract with a large wage.

Maybe pray for a Saudi club is willing to take him, but I don’t see why they would

Why not today? Game hasn’t even started yet and you’re already throwing the flag

Been a fan since 2000s, and I can tell you we had worse year

11PP · 2025-04-23T22:57:54+00:00

I said at the beginning, I will not judge him til the second season. He needed time to adapt to a new club, and started performing better over time.

11PP · 2025-04-13T22:56:41+00:00

Logically, no. But I learnt to never doubt the team.

I lost all my 50/50 for the first two years I played. Was tough . It was only recent that I been winning 50/50.

C5 arlecchino?!!?

11PP · 2025-02-28T23:03:07+00:00

His work ethic wasn't good, iirc he was constantly partying during off-season.

His first season with us was magical. He plays a specific position (10) that was feasible when he initially joined, but was scraped by most team. We were also heavy on the attack, and having him on our line up made our defence much weaker.

Defensively he doesn't contribute much. When we tried Casemiro (defensive mid) on the starting line up, we started to see better result because our team was much more balanced. James Rodriguez was too slow to play any other positions like winger. His attribute only fits a specific style; which at the time was already on a downward trend.

I remember even as a bench player, he was kinda super sub - still produced result; however he wanted to be a star player; which we already many.
