Xabi Xabi la vie

4 losses at Real in the league isn't good enough with just first season gone.
Yes the players are awful but he knew going into it surely. He took the job because Xabi being Xabi, not sure why people are surprised at his natural behaviour.
I think he did yes.

He hasn't been able to play a settled defence. I think just at RB alone, 4 players have featured there - Carvajal, TAA, Ascencio and Valverde

"I doubt this squad is even interested in a coach that they can organically respect and commit to his tactical ideas. They want a person who won't be too demanding on them in any aspect. The club wants a person who will not demand a signing for the most glaring absence in this team – a world-class central midfielder. They have that man now. "

"I think Real Madrid were not doing anything with Xabi Alonso."
"He has been hurt for months and the club would not help him recover."
"That being said, the club is responsible for this failure, no the manager."
"It was not Ancelotti's fault, not Xabi's fault and it won't be Arbeloa's fault."

Meant to say 6 losses in total, typo. And classico lost I think too, not very good TBH with the squad they have.

Nah, 4 points behind Barca and lost to us and City in the CL. That Real side is pretty loopsided and you also have the likes of Bellingham and Mbappe to accommodate in the team.
Just a mess with loads of player power.

I wouldnt call it a failure. He shouldn't have taken the job mind. Awful place to be a manager.

Yep, even Ancelotti couldn’t get them to play as a team

League record isn't bad but wouldn't just focus on that. It has improved since he was under pressure.
Do you really expect him to just have players who aren't prima donnas wherever he goes, if he wants a big club he will have that most likely at every top club and be able to handle it. I don't get the logic of us pining for him again, he many no's do we have to accept? Third time is a charm?

Mbappe gets a new manager every 1,4 years. Must be a dream to work with.
I dont think the Real job is anything to base a judgement on Xabi's abilities.

Mbappe has had the same French manager for nearly a decade now so not really true at all levels.
He ain't coming here so I think we are quiet safe with Slot for now.
 
Xabi’s record at Bayer (with Wirtz and Frimpong, of course) was incredible, that still stands. Real was a terrible move on his behalf and he’s not stood a chance with his discipline and that group of players…whilst still staying within 4 points from the top.

If it’s between Slot and Xabi this season, I’m team Xabi every time.
 
i don’t remember the full details but i’m kind of sure barcelona did the reverse to madrid, refusing a guard of honour, in recent history. so meh to mbappes antics even if be should absolutely be following the managers lead.
 
i bet klopps phone has buzzed at least once to get his thoughts on this job
He’d tell them to fuck off. He needs that fan connection. They go 32 minutes without scoring and they start whistling.
 
Its weird to discuss him being a failure when his start in La Liga placed him with 3rd highest win rate of Real Madrid managers.
 
every set of fans has an opinion about every other set of fans but yea actual madrid fanbase seems to be exclusively of the most impatient entitled people
... but they win the League and the UCL/EC for fun most seasons so ...
