he wouldn't play well because he is not given enough chance to blend in.. common sense.. I am not saying he is the best but he deserves playing time like giving to ferran and dembele too

Man, barca is a big club where the best play,Depay is not barca type of player,he loses too much ball,Xavi is only managing Ferran because he as connection with the midfielders.

ferran Torres can never play in same level as depay.. ferran is lucky to be Spanish.. let's say the truth..

xavi is a very stubborn coach.. he lack lots of positive decision.. see the way inter whatever team is just running through busqeut and he can't replace him.. he will rather sub or bench depay n kill kessie on the bench.. I used to like xavi but this attitude is Soo uncalled for , that's not how to build a winning team

Because barca was doing well before Xavi took over?
