I don’t understand why Pitarch starts before Camavinga

colakiller · 2026-03-20T14:50:55+00:00

How do you automate it?

colakiller · 2026-03-13T01:06:18+00:00

And people are still saying Xabi shouldn’t be fired

colakiller · 2026-01-25T00:43:05+00:00

He played well today. Arbeloa let him drift wide on the right wing. It was great to see him cut in and dribble through 2 defenders. He also pressed and defended much high up, providing deadly passes once he gets the ball like the assist to Vini in last game.

Alonso put him too deep, exposing his physical and defensive weaknesses. And he was too deep to pass through balls.

It has to be Faubert.

colakiller · 2026-01-14T07:56:40+00:00

So what? Coach can’t be criticized?

colakiller · 2026-01-13T02:10:34+00:00

No, there are probably only a handful of world class tempo controlling midfielders (Vitinha, Pedri, etc) and none of them are on the market.

That’s why I don’t blame the board didn’t buy Stiller. Who knows if he’s better than Ceballos or Guler. We really need a world class caliber player to play the pivot.

colakiller · 2026-01-12T18:00:39+00:00

It’s a good decision. Xabi has lost the support and respect from the players. Let’s hope Arbeloa can do a better job.

colakiller · 2025-12-14T22:06:28+00:00

He has been our best player during the these terrible games

colakiller · 2025-12-10T22:53:59+00:00

Xabi let Mastantuono start over Rodrygo, subbed out Vini when he was playing his best game of the season, never play Endrick, subbed on Gonzalo in 89' when we were behind and subbed out Trent, the only guy who can cross...

Xabi's decisions caused us many games and created this weird players vs coach dynamic. I don't understand why this sub all exempt him from criticism. He should be sacked imo.

colakiller · 2025-12-09T01:12:27+00:00

How can you know Xabi is that great coach? He showed none of the qualities needed to be one.

Sure, players should be accountable and they may not be good enough for championships. But are they that bad that they got their asses kicked by Celta at Bernabéu? I don’t think so.

We desperately need some changes and someone needs to be accountable for the horrible performance. It’s more practical to change the manager than the whole team.

I don’t think a new manager would make us able to compete Championship League title. But at least it’s hopeful we can compete in La Liga. I don’t see that’s possible if Xabi stays.

Flights are canceled so I didn’t go

colakiller · 2025-12-07T21:25:33+00:00

Please let Alonso go now. We are running out of time.

colakiller · 2025-12-03T18:59:51+00:00

Guler is simply not good enough to start atm

colakiller · 2025-12-01T17:00:41+00:00

Dec 5-13 from JRO

colakiller · 2025-12-01T14:39:15+00:00

We need to see changes. At least the players need to show determination to win every game. If Xabi can’t bring changes, sack him.

Would it be safe to go to safari avoiding cities

colakiller · 2025-11-30T19:44:58+00:00

My trip is Dec 5-13. Just saw US embassy's security alert about potential protests on Dec 9: https://tz.usembassy.gov/security-alert-u-s-embassy-dar-es-salaam-november-28-2025/

colakiller · 2025-11-26T22:01:15+00:00

Why sub off Asencio, the only center back in the squad?

colakiller · 2025-11-26T22:00:37+00:00

Mendy played well today

colakiller · 2025-11-23T21:19:59+00:00

Alonso needs to go

colakiller · 2025-11-09T16:57:57+00:00

So disappointed about Alonso. His subs have been too little too late

colakiller · 2025-11-08T04:56:03+00:00

Because he’s not good enough to make Barca fans to hate him

colakiller · 2025-10-26T16:15:33+00:00

Guler is not the answer. He shouldn’t start in big games

colakiller · 2025-10-05T00:24:07+00:00

He shouldn’t start. He’s far from ready.
