I thought even last year he would be good because he had bits of good play. But Howe trusting him as a permenant starter has really upped his game.
Southgate calling him up is just gonna be hard because he is competing with Rashford, Foden and Grealish who all can play on the left. We know Gareth Southgate completely ignores form because he keeps calling up Rashford/Maguire/Kalvin Philips.
Maybe if both Rashford/Grealish are injured or Newcastle make some impressive run in champions league or the league.
I really dont rate Xavi as a manager. So i think the overall performance of Barcelona is often subpar. Like even the games they won vs Osasuna, celta should have been losses. They are the team with most goals in last minutes. Just a few days ago he was down to Alaves at home. Needed a pen to win.
Like they play so boring, this playstyle is already a disgrace for Barca but if he doesnt win anything on top of it he is getting sacked. Maybe give Xabi a shot or De Zerbi.
Tldr i blame lot of barca looking meh on xavi tactics.
