You could see Suarez was basically a dead load from min. 60. And he subs Alena, and then Coutinho who were a lot more active than him.
Someone like Marcelino would have roughly the same results like Valverde at Barcelona if his front 4 would've been Messi, Suarez, Dembele, Coutinho. With these players if Madrid and Atletico aren't really strong, you win the league every season.

Valverde looked lost on the sideline. When the opposing team’s manager are going for the win more than you are you’re not fit to be a Barca manager.
Why does he sub Alena who was the best midfielder out there?
Why does he wait till the final 10 minutes to sub in a forward?
Why does he reward a bad performance by Roberto (idiotic penalty caused by Roberto) by letting him stay on instead of shifting the better player Semedo (who also won the penalty) to RB.
Why does Valverde constantly look like he can’t make proper tactical adjustments during matches?
I lost count of how many times Messi bailed out Valverde.

I bet my nuts if he plays the best 11 the fatigue index over all would be much less than now. he rests players, brings no dynamics, team ends up trailing, deploying more energy, self-inflicting injuries etc.. he just rotates because he read in forums he didnt rest players last year the cunt. his head is empty of ideas.
name me one game where we didnt start our absolute best and did good: none

he earns credit for rotation at the start. But He made terrible calls today
-But subbing out Semedo (our best player in the 1st half) instead of Bob
-Alena (the best midfielder today) instead of Vidal,
-subbing Malcom in too late when Coutinho looked tired af were horrible calls.
What was he thinking

That's one verb which is rarely associated with Valverde.

Barca losing points to Valencia at Camp Nou is nothing new. They were on good form recently as well. Should be happy with getting a draw here actually, they looked primed and ready to take you on, but seems the club values Copa more than some of these liga fixtures where you half guaranteed to trip up anyway.
I can answer your question. He was not thinking.
Just the usual the least senior players got subbed off first.

oh come on Wolfe.. Valencia are a tough team but did you watch the match?
It was not the result. It was the questionable subs in a game that raises questions.
