Ernesto Valverde - V1

You mean 3

5. Conte defends with 5. Only whenever they lose the ball in the middle and get countered it's against 3. Would be nowhere near the same as that 3-4-3 you played when Alves was around and played your winger role. Conte's lines always dug into the trenches in a 5-2-3 against great opposition. Imagine having that at Barcelona.

Funnily enough, Pique is basically a David Luiz these days, so if you bought somebody like Azpi it could work since Umtiti and another CB would be much obliged to clean up the mess.

For about one season, lol.

Conte? I'm glad some you guys aren't in charge of choosing our next manager.

You dont understand total football and the Barcelona way. If we appointed Conte that would be a huge spit in the face of everything Cruyff stood for. .

Err moreso than Valverde.

Put him on Spanish minimum wage and everythinng else he should get is paid in win bonuses...

Would like to see if he was still conservative AF in that scenario...

Lol not a bad idea tbh. It's too bad no sane coach would agree to that.

Actually I think Maradona said he would coach without being paid maybe we should ring him up. I dont remember much if his run as Argentina's manager but i recall he played pretty good attacking football, easy on the eyes.

I guess he would be paid in Bolivian marching powder, not money...

tfw it's international break and you don't have to deal with seeing Valverdball all week.

Feels incredible.

Maradona played for Barca before?

If so then Barca DNA confirmed, Messi connections
He's also a legend and will command respect

Hire him

This is beyond shit I can get for today.

This will be glorious if we manage to fuck up bad enough to sack Lopetegui and pinch newly-sacked Jardim from in front of Barcelona's nose.

On the other hand, Barcelona have not sacked a manager mid-season since LVG in 2003. Levels of the current situation

Conte would be a slight upgrade on Valverde. More passion, more personality and better tactician. This whole Barca DNA thing has hamstrung us. Look at ho Valverde's barca DNA is working for us.

Settle down Valverde played as an impact sub for 2 seasons. Hes not a club legend like Pep or Lucho.

Conte is the opposite of attacking football Chelsea could not wait to be rid off him and play Sarriball

Everything is pointless. We're pointless. Valverde is the manager, he is backed by the board, all we do is waste our time complaining over and over again about the same things like a broken record. It doesn't even matter who's right or wrong, this is the situation and it will carry on. I am going to take it easier this season. Just step back a bit and see what happens.

Not the moment to be very excited watching this team under this manager that's for sure. Having low expectations and not demanding too much for the club is best advised for the time being. Maybe we'll be surprised in the end.

damn valverdeball got to you man.

you're at the final stage - acceptance.

 

[Messigician]

As monaco's coach is available. Can we please hire him?

actually Conte would be good for our CL run this season, i think he'd get more out of the players, they already look fired up - Messi goat mode etc

I wouldn't want him any longer than a stand-in manager though.
