This guy doesn't have the team, granted, but what's his excuse for the shambolic management at the end there? What's his excuse for keeping Busquets when he at least has Pjanic/Puig on the bench? What's his excuse for playing a 17yo AM on the right wing when he at least has 2 pure RW on the bench. OK, he started that way and Pedri was solid, but he is 17 fucking yo and you play him there until the 80th fucking minute? Coutinho was awful as well on every facet of the game and he still played until almost the end while having options on the bench.

These couldn't be pe excused no matter how few players he got in the transfer window. Depay wouldn't have made a lick of difference and while wijnaldum could have done more than our slow turtles in mid, he's nothing to write home about. Basically "his wanted players" were decent at best.

He needs to realise that subs aren't just there to be used for like-for-like changes or fresh legs but to be smarter and switch up the system when things aren't going well.

He's walking a tight rope with the boardroom frailties but he can also increase his chances of staying here beyond a season by bucking his ideas up. Dembele, Pjanic and Puig have been criminally underused so far too.

He just loves to dump all our subs in at once :lol: No cohesion, no plan. Disrupts us more than the opponent. Still early days though.

Game open with plenty of space for a faster attacker to exploit, no changes made. We are behind and space isn't as readily available we put our fastest attacker on his inferior side and totally unbalance the rest of the team while only giving them 10 minutes to turn it all around.
Great management.

Explain to me this.

Why do we keep hiring managers that are obsessed with not playing Real Wingers, and wanting to have the slowest players play in crucial areas of the pitch? Like, fuck me man what the fuck is the deal with this bullshit.

We play two CB's who are just so similar as in both are slow, weak in 1v1s, and can't handle physical players for shit while having Busi who is a Decaying corpse of a player who was never athletic nor physically gifted during his peak being one of the "Shields" to protect the backline. Don't get me started on the front line bullshit.

Horrible game management.

There was a lot of space before the penalty to sub in someone like Dembele.

Setien like performance.

Embarrassing stuff

Koeman: I don't understand VAR, every decision is against Bar?a. In five games, I haven't seen one in favour and there are many examples: a penalty on Messi vs. Sevilla, red cards for Getafe, the one today... that always goes on in the area
