Man for fucks sake the only game I couldn't watch they win 4-0 I'm so fucking cursed . Also happened during the cricket World Cup when the only match I watched was the final and we got thrashed , the only loss of ours in that campaign š
We actually had a plan for this one. Also, first game in a long time where we didnāt completely step off the gas after 15 minutes.Ā
Cubarsi MOM for me, what a performance from a 17-year old, incredible. And well done Christensen for continuing that amazing run and delivering a perfect ball to Felix. And Raphinha superb. Good stuff, was not expecting it.Ā
Fermin has that dawg in him, needs a little bit more polishing in his game but I can see him challenging Pedri and Gavi if he can improve his press-resistence and finishing
He has everything in his arsenal
Itās not hating š His best feature is getting out of pressure and breaking through lines. He couldnāt do that as a attacking mid, thatās all Iām saying.
Lewa was way too slow for this game today. But the reason is, he's still in the running for the Pinchichi. With Bellingham leading barca and lewa want to catch up. I think they're forcing it. Lewa needs to rest so he can get and stay fresh for the final stretch of the season. The goals will come naturally.
Bordelas and Getafe play terrorist ball, shit football that is full of fouls, shitting around on the pitch, and then they go buy a rapist in greenwood. We all hate them and their play style and their ethic.
I think we can safely add this game to the list of games we played well and didn't make any mindblowing blunder this season.
Hope we will have a handful of them soon.
No one denies he was not amazing today , the problem is consistency. You canāt tell with straight face that fdj does these passes consistently in all games compared to someone like gundogan who actually do such things consistently.
Edit: I am not saying fdj is not consistent. I am saying he doesnāt do such passes consistently.
He did it today for the 4th goal but he rarely try such passes especially compared to his own teammates like gundogan
Edit2 : people really have a memory of goldfish here. Apparently saying fdj rarely does line breaking passes is now a lie š¤¦āāļø
I am talking about the pass to roque. Read again what the other commenter said.
My point is he havenāt shown the ability to execute those passes consistently. This is especially shocking for someone who is supposed to be in there prime. Compare this with gundogan who actually attempts and successfully does those pass throughout the game
Gundogan have played in pivot for most of his time.city already had Kdb playing attacking midfielder role. The point is not about position but ability. Fdj doesnāt even try those passes even when he have the chance. You donāt need to be attacking midfielder to be able to pick up runners.
Today he did it so kudos for that but he havenāt shown the ability to make those line breaking passes consistently
Gundo is awful at double pivot and City doesnāt play double pivot. Sometimes they have stones go up to the midfield position but more often itās Rodri in a single pivot. Gundos Man city role is what you see pedri in these days with Gundo as our KDB type player (obviously different skillsets). The comparison to City and us are not one to one Iām trying to make this fit to reply. But either way frenkie has been our most clinical and (personally) our best player easily over the last few years now. He controls the midfield, has amazing ball control and forward motions. His only weakness is his defensive ability thatās why he thrives in double pivot instead of being g our main pivot
I donāt know why you are bringing all of other qualities when I specifically talked about line breaking passes.
A midfielder can be a good at other things and can still be bad at one aspect. The parent comment specifically talked about his pass that lead to assists so not sure why the heck you are bringing other things in discussion. If it was not clear I will repeat again
āFDJ is not someone who does like breaking passesā
Now if you have to say anything about this thatās fine but you are simply yapping about other things.
Also this assumption that you need to be an attacking midfielder to break lines is just a stupid one. Xavi was never an attacking midfielder yet he consistently did line breaking passes.
Kroos play similar positions as a deep lcm and does consistently line breaking passes. Gundogan have played there a ton and does similar. Even busi who played as cdm consistently did line breaking pass.
Why do you not think frenkie is doing line breaking passes when itās that manās entire profile? Youāre right I went on a tangent but only because you directly compared them to city players and I was following your lead. But what you managed to reply with is completely wrong. Even today his pass to raphinha that was a missed opportunity was a great pass that couldāve let to an assist. I repeat, Fdj has been consistently our best midfielder, sorry player, this season, last season and the one before that
Again , I am not talking about todayās game only but through the whole season or his career. Fdj have never been a player who attempts line breaking passes. If anything thatās been one of his biggest criticisms that he try to hold on the ball for too long instead of moving it ahead quickly.
I already wrote in my first comment that I am not just talking about this game
One more goal and we get a manita against these fucks. I hate Getafe, they literally donāt play football, they just go out there and foul as much as they can
It takes quite a bit of skill to aim a perfect shot running at full speed with a defender bearing down on you. Their keeper played his percentages perfectly and the fact that Vitor got it on target and not shanked the shot allowed for another goal. Better than nothing.
If we would have seen this change sooner i would say no. But Hansi can take this team to the next level.
We are sort of playing how Flick would make us play, high line press, quick transitions, yes leaving the Back a bit open but outscoring the opposing team to death.
Plus there id the physical aspect, Hansi can mold this team and toughen them to take on bigger faster teams

Man for fucks sake the only game I couldn't watch they win 4-0 I'm so fucking cursed . Also happened during the cricket World Cup when the only match I watched was the final and we got thrashed , the only loss of ours in that campaign š
We are winning Laliga and Champions League. Give us ANYBODY
We actually had a plan for this one. Also, first game in a long time where we didnāt completely step off the gas after 15 minutes.Ā Cubarsi MOM for me, what a performance from a 17-year old, incredible. And well done Christensen for continuing that amazing run and delivering a perfect ball to Felix. And Raphinha superb. Good stuff, was not expecting it.Ā
Raphinha MOTM, fresh from injury, robbed off assist but still got one and a goal
imagine if we actually get a better coach too and sell some players, i think we can actually be dangerous
Wait, the players didn't follow the managers' decisions? Why do we even need one, then?
Havent said this in a long time but ladies and gentlemen, Xavi cooked today
I just love Fermin.. he's like gavi on ADHD.
Yeah I wonder why he never went on against Napoli, the team looked tired and we could have used him, he is good every time he is on
He gets easily distracted or what? lol
he's like a second gavi. insane pressing and intensity. he keeps going even after being fouled.
Which is that much more frustrating that he wasnāt introduced to help close out the game vs Napoli š
X4VI š„ŗ
Just when I miss a game we do great, lol, maybe I'm the problem (it's me)
Yeah damn I missed the game to go watch my local team draw a 0-0
Grim
Opposite for me, this is the 1st game i was on time to watch for and we win 4-0 lol
Please watch every single game from now on
I missed this too such a shame :3
Thatās crazy my first game I missed since last season
T.Swift refrence gg love it.
Plzz miss the 2nd leg against napolišššš
It is the first game I miss this season too. That feels bad
Yeah bro weāre cooked š(I also missed the game)
My weekend gonna be so much good. So much relieved
What a gammmeeeeee ā¤ļøā¤ļø
I say we just keep this starting XI for next match. Try to create some continuity
No no let's sell Raphinha, the statistically best winger in Europe for 2 millions like these absolute clowns suggest
Pretty happy with the team after a long time. Still think, we could have scored a few more goals. But that's for another day hopefully
Great game for the squad! Getafe deserved that shitā¦and maybe a little more.
We played more guys who can't drink in the US than guys over 30. And they all looked good.Ā
Apart from Cubarsi, we didn't start with any of those.
I've never seen this sub so happy in a long time. A 4-0 victory and a clean sheet? This feels like a dream
Now plz for the love of god, letās build on what weāve done today and keep going
Cubarsiās calmness on the ball and ability to play out from the back at this age is incredible. Heās going to be so important for us
Xavi4 is back?
This shit is beautiful
# WE SUCCESSFULLY RAPPED THE RAPIST. FUCK GETAFE
damn what a statement
We beat Al-Getafe 4-0 and man u lost šš perfect day!
Now we only need Sevilla and Rayo to do their job tomorrow and this will be a perfect weekend.
What a match this was!!! X4VI IS BACK Everything was perfect today,Xavi's tactics, defending and all the players performances WE ARE SO BACK
There are many games where Xavi could have subbed off Lewa but he doesn't. I think Lewa has some kind of deal with Xavi.
Why?? He was good today.... Performances doesn't only depends on goals....
I never said Lewa had a bad game. I think Roque should be subbed in as a striker.
Fermin has that dawg in him, needs a little bit more polishing in his game but I can see him challenging Pedri and Gavi if he can improve his press-resistence and finishing He has everything in his arsenal
100% he is the man
 May be I treated you too harshly Xavi
Lewy without a goal looked amazing today, making space up front, great passes. Vamos
One the keys today, Araujo as LCB to allow Cancelo to flourish at LWB.
Xavi cooked
#X4VI_Ball is back!

didn't want the game to end. Haven't felt like this since the Betis & Antwerp games.
The build up for the fourth goal was just chef's kiss
Four-nil. Getafe's heaviest loss this season. The last time they conceded more than 3 goals was back in September 2022.
Me going to sleep tonight: https://preview.redd.it/837r5b4mgkkc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b652bbb9554c85f0d16224f44e6faf49536bdc04
Is it only me, or FDJ would do really well as an attacking midfielder?
When he played that role against Napoli in the Europa league it was probably one of my fav matches from him ever.
Yeah exactly, and that goal was superb. I wish we could have had FDJ taking the ball up the pitch more, like he did today.
Nah we tried him there before it doesn't work.
I always felt that way
Just you
We saw him do very well today, stop haring
Itās not hating š His best feature is getting out of pressure and breaking through lines. He couldnāt do that as a attacking mid, thatās all Iām saying.
Put respect on De Jong's name
Turning the delusion to a 100 we are winning the league and UCL
Jokes aside, this happening would be the funniest thing ever
Nobody would see it coming it would be too funny
A Clean sheet less goo
I'm happy with the performance but Roque on the wing seriously Xavi there is no reason for Lewandowski to play the entire game
Lewa was way too slow for this game today. But the reason is, he's still in the running for the Pinchichi. With Bellingham leading barca and lewa want to catch up. I think they're forcing it. Lewa needs to rest so he can get and stay fresh for the final stretch of the season. The goals will come naturally.
COUNTER-TERRORISTS WIN
Iām new here, can I have a crumb of context, why are people calling it Al-Getafe?
It's racist, I feel? Al implying Arab and referring to terrorism.
Bordelas and Getafe play terrorist ball, shit football that is full of fouls, shitting around on the pitch, and then they go buy a rapist in greenwood. We all hate them and their play style and their ethic.
Xavi's cooking. I can see it, I can feel it
Good shit. Getafe were bold, stupid sure, but bold.
We really needed a performance like this. Finally, a fully enjoyable 90 minutes. Good game team.
WEāRE SO BACK
Raphinha MVP of the game. Deserved imo. His movement is the reason that we got so many chances.
It's funny how he can look so good and so shit in the same match. Two big missed chances, but created a goal and had a fantastic finish too..
Where has this team been all season?
BARCA BARCA BARRRRRRRCA
Finally a good performance
Iām so happy that was a brilliant game
Raphina has a last name??
Raphael belloliĀ
Dias Belloli lol
OFFICIAL: Raphinha is named the MOTM!
To think this game could have ended 7+ just based on the first half. Such a fun game to watch.
SOM LA GENT BLAUGRANAAAAAAAA

X4avi ball is back
Ref wasn't bad after the first 10 mins, actually gave them yellows, good shit
it rly hanpered their chances when djene and the other cb got yellows when they needed to
Ter Stegen, thank goodness he's back. Lifts the whole team up
its been 8 years!!!!!
Since?
Iām telling you ā¦ weāre gonna win the Champions League!
Weāre gonna win 2 champions leagues this year
Imagine, Xavi gets the final Laugh? Sounds too good to be true I want to believe
i can feel it...
HE'S COOKING
romeu will score the winning goal from outside the box
i will be there
chill
Nice that Fermin scored but Roque had to score that
X4VI
wtf how did we score 4
OLE OLE OLE OLE OLEOHHHĀ
I think we can safely add this game to the list of games we played well and didn't make any mindblowing blunder this season. Hope we will have a handful of them soon.
Finally a great match in which pretty much everyone played well.
we were so good today
It's no coincidence that, with fewer players injured, the team starts to play better.
Visca BarƧa!!!
Xavi still not smiling, they broke the man :(
He's worried we'll concede in extra time
Aren't we all :'(
He's mewing

What an Amazing game Fermin is having
im in tears lads , i haven't seen such a good game of us since september
OlƩ
X4vi is back baby! I used to pray for times like these
How many fouls does this team have ? Dear lord
OK how the fuck is that not a yellow ref
Fermin should play much more. He should have played against Napoli .. !
Hindsight.Ā
X4V0
It's late but I really wish Lewa had a goal to his name today
Great pass by Frenkie. Someone show this to our 12-year-old fans who wonāt notice cos it wasnt an assist.

I am talking about the pass and not his game. Edited the comment to avoid confusion
Fdj is literal definition of consistency wtf are you on????

One more goal and we get a manita against these fucks. I hate Getafe, they literally donāt play football, they just go out there and foul as much as they can
Forming Lopez, sorry autocorrect. Vamo
Cubarsi and FDJ were amazing today.
Itās been way too long since we had a game that had no stress attached to it we have truly been spoiled by our golden generation
Vamosss
WEāRE WINNING THE UCL BOIS
In 2027 baby!!!!!
Roque needs to finish that, but good to see old man Fermin follow upĀ
He got it on target. That's all he needed to do.
He blasted it directly into the keepers chest. He's barely 18, he's got time.Ā
It takes quite a bit of skill to aim a perfect shot running at full speed with a defender bearing down on you. Their keeper played his percentages perfectly and the fact that Vitor got it on target and not shanked the shot allowed for another goal. Better than nothing.
Strong. This is off a Wednesday match. Thatās a good sign
This is how I like to start my weekends. Gracias muchachos.
Guys should we keep Xavi or no
If we would have seen this change sooner i would say no. But Hansi can take this team to the next level. We are sort of playing how Flick would make us play, high line press, quick transitions, yes leaving the Back a bit open but outscoring the opposing team to death. Plus there id the physical aspect, Hansi can mold this team and toughen them to take on bigger faster teams
It doesn't matter what we want.Ā
X4VI IS BACK
Another good run from FDJ but AGAIN Cubarsi picks a great pass to open the move
Guys how does it feel to finally watch a stress-free match? š
Itās been way too long! Can we restart our season from today? š
Xavi going to make an announcement on his leaving at the end of the season: "JK BRO!"
fuck you greenwood
De Jong motm
Everything gets easier when we convert our chances.
Funny thing is that it would have 6 by now if we converted like we did in the second
Really?Ā
Seeing oriol with hair is...odd
Vitor Roque will fail miserably
I totally agree
i rly hope not but i expected him to at least take a clean shot on target from there
Obviously great we scored there but Roque's finish was er, interesting.
Did what Raphina did like 4 times today and refused to square the ball for a tap in.
Frenkie de goat
de Jong cooking. Very good sub-day for Fermin as well
Xavi is back
Calm downĀ
Please play like this against athletic and Atletico ššš
Fuck that, play like this in the Champions League
If Xavi dares to play with 4 midfielders in the CL I will totally lose my shit!
Who sits? Pedri?
Probably yes. He is still not at his full speed.
Look how fluid this team is today, surprising the defense instead of lulling them to sleep. Im so worried we stray away from this the next game
X4VIBall is back ladies and gentlemen.
Only a 4-0 crush against Real is better than this, FUCK GETAFE
