I agree and that failure was on Xabi. It's either we put Rodrygo on the left or we play with two forwards (Mbappe, Vini) and four midfielders. This entire disjointed mess is because we're trying to force certain players to fit to make the team work and when we do it's easy to exploit if you have the talent and work ethic.
Yes, it's very much so Xabi's failure that we have the world's first athlete with a signature pacifier and plushy line.
Vini’s imperfections are ingredients, not the whole recipe. Turning flawed structure into a toy store punchline doesn’t change where the tactical responsibility sits. So no, it wasn’t a long winded way of saying you’re right. It was a long winded way of saying your conclusion is wearing someone else’s wrong sized shoes.
I believe Vini, the two times ucl winner and scorer in both the finals, is to blame for all our issues no matter what the issue is. It all goes back to him. The people in our club must be so dumb not to see something so obvious.
Yeah I agree with you guys. I was one of those who wanted Vini reprimanded specifically because I felt it would harm team chemistry. However Vini isn't why we're dropping points no differently than Rodrygo. Yet those are the two mainstays who get showered with blame.
Here we go with the “your mom” tier wisdom. Shame it still leaves counter argument running on fumes. But hey, if that helps reducing the problem to “Vini bad, end of story” that’s fine!
There is absolutely no point wasting time discussing with a player's choirgirl that views [insert player name] as above the club.
