I quite like him as our coach as whatever he said inspired the players for the second half drubbing we gave Betis.

Our goal difference in La Liga is 57-9!!! Unbelievable!
Goes to Betis and gets the biggest victory ever there while missing likes of Iniesta, Dembele, Coutinho and Umtiti from start.
The way he manages the team through games is properly impressive.
Never let him go whatever happens. I honestly consider him a way more priced possession than dembele, countinhio etc.
Only messi comes above him right now.
He is doing great and above anyone's expectations. It does remind me of Rijkaard's Barca a little where we had Edmilson, Van Bommel and even Deco doing the dirty work while Ronaldinho and Eto'o were creating havoc upfront.
I guess after this game our La Liga starting XI:
--------Suarez---Messi---------
Coutinho--Raki--Busi--Roberto
Alba---Umtiti---Pique--Semedo
PS: Gomes' last chance given and he proves to belong to the bench. Semedo needs to work hard to secure a starting position.
I like this well-balanced line-up. I fear a little bit for Dembele though. I love this kid but I don't know how he can fit in.

There will be no clear starting 11 IMHO. Valverde will adapt game to game.
Yeah the starting XI always changes. And we love it because EV is a good coach. I should have said our best XI in La Liga.
As long as Deuolfeu doesn't make the squad anymore, I don't care who Valverde calls up and plays. He knows what he's doing.
