Ernesto Valverde

Those "it is what it is" statements are giving me PTSD.

 

[Marshall D Teach]

The dressing room is apparently mad according to the press.

Ohhhhhhhhh they're mad. What are they gonna do now. Lose 8-0 vs Liverpool this season?

Publicly back Valverde to make sure they keep their starting spots probably.

 

[DonAK]

We can continue this elsewhere. Or not. But I have to note how remarkable it is to read the comments of the Tackle-type lemons utterly confused by Rees-Mogg backing the same deal they considered to be a turd under May's governance

EV is a lad. Give him time and he'll deliver the treble!

Confused now, in support of it tomorrow.

At least from what I've seen. Tough to have any sympathy for those fools. Ah well, if everything goes to shit they'll at least have their blue passports.

Perhaps uneducated Anne who complains about the foreigners taking their jobs could rise to the occasion and fill in one of those positions the NHS will be in shortage of.

Exactly. Why didn't they run more, If they are "mad"? Seems bullshit.. Who are they mad at? Fans? Like Alba said earlier, Fans demand too much!!

Barcelona right now are the Green Bay Packers under Mike McCarthy or Golden State Warriors under Mark Jackson.

Both teams need some new pieces, but for the most part, the right pieces have always been there to make a Championship run, but their coaching reached a ceiling which led to both teams underperforming or stagnating.

Both coaches didn't have a clue what accountability meant either. Mike kept his poor position coaches and didn't utilize his offensive players, his Running Backs in particular, very well.

While Mark Jackson thought he was motivating his team by pitting players against each other and throwing holy water on Steph Curry's injured ankles and making him jump up and down to show people he's not injured as modern medicine wanted everyone to believe.

Y'all are New York Knicks mate.

Y'all are New York Knicks mate.

The Knicks have been irrelevant for most of their existence. The only reason people care about the Knicks is because they're in New York.

Although tbf the only reason the opposition even fear Barca is because we got Messi so I can see the comparison somewhat here.

Barca are more like the Lakers while you are the Celtics. Two historic franchises that believe they're way better than what they actually are.

 

[Total-Football]

114 vs 100 km total distance run in this game for Slavia Praga. Someone explain Valverde that this is not good.

With Liverpools and bayern sometimes it reaches 118. Thats 18 extra km. Almost 2 players.

Oh I didn't mean you 'were' the Knicks. You sure used to be Showtime Lakers, but now are just total pet peeve version of Mike Woodson Knicks. Except fans are a bit more irate than the Knicks fans who just gave up trying to have any hope.

I do like the idea of being Celtics. Celtics are very good at coming back no matter what happens. Of the two evils in the NBA I always liked them more.

Yeah. I thought Boston and Madrid were more similar too. More racist fans, I actually thought you would get this little joke, but you didn't

I wouldn't, I'm a Mavs fan. Probably even more racists in Dallas, just not against the French. Figures.

Mavs have a promising team. Looking forward to see how Porzingis and Luka do together.

Add terrible away to Sporting, terrible away to Olympiakos, terrible away to Chelsea, terrible away to Roma, terrible away to Lyon.

Literally, the only notable away game in CL in more than 2 years under Ernie is Tottenham away.

If we'll want to be fair, our team has been a total shit for years in a CL, even before Ernie.

In Lucho's last year, our CL results away from home were:
Monchengladbach 2:1
City 1:3
Celtic 2:0
Psg 0:4
Juve 0:3

2 wins, 3 defeats.
Goals advantage: 5:11

I mean, we scored only 5 goals in our 5 CL matches even with MSN in a team.

In 2015/16:
Roma 1:1
Bate Borisov 2:0
Leverkusen 1:1
Arsenal 2:0
Atletico 0:2

In 10 matches, Lucho won against Bate Borisov, Celtic, Monchengladbach and Arsenal.
From tougher matches: Roma, Arsenal, Atletico, City, Psg, Juve, we won 1 (Arsenal), drew 1 (Roma), lost 4 (Atletico 2:0, City 3:1, Psg 4:0, Juve 3:0).
In total, in Lucho's last 2 seasons, our goals advantage in away matches was negative: 11:15

 

[te amo barca]

I hope he doesn't return Rakitic in the starting 11 with how badly we played. Though I wouldn't mind if he replaced Busi.

 

[D10S_JC]

Barca's awful away show continues. Some players can't deal with pressure. They are lost in high intensity game.
