We had some good spells of attacking football, which was promising considering the team composition. Removing Rakitic, shifting Roberto to mid and bringing on Somedo should give us more fluidity and we would play better.
Of course we have a chanceArent we getting Coutinho in January?
I know this won't solve our problems in CL, but whoever thinks we have chance to win CL this year is delusional. I mean, if we changed our way of playing to defending and just counterattacking, we might have a chance; but we all know that will never happen. Maybe if Dembele turns out to be an amazing player, we might.
I was hoping Valverde would prove me wrong, but his game against Atletico Madrid showed me that he is thinking more about style of winning, rather than winning at any cost.
I can only speak for myself and for me it’s the system, the obviously defensive selections and the way he has us playing that is the problem.
If the opposition are too good there is nothing you can do about it but at the very least put some effort into it. Our pressing game is non existent, so is our passing game... To make matters worse, it’s the second La Liga game in a row that we’ve been clueless in dealing with the press of the opposition which just ends up with us losing the ball. Often in dangerous areas.
It’s almost as if we’re a team coached by Mourinho now.
I know this is not a nice thing to say but at this stage only a few big losses would wake people up and I hope it happens sooner rather than later because this is not a Barça system. It’s painful to watch.
People in this forum got some fucked up head, and nothing could please them other than thrashing of each and every single team on the way. We earned points in a very difficult place, we were always having trouble getting result at bilbao and we won by 2-0 and yet everyone complaining like a retard. Barca fans are really hard to please, perhaps they are more into beautiful football than getting results. At the end of the day, its about whether you get result or not, nobody cares about the process, how you get it, ugly or not.
It's not the results which worries me, but the way we win. We are extremely lucky this season and the thing with luck is, we are going to run out of it at some point
This team needs to play better to challenge the best teams in CL and I doubt we have chance to win title playing this bad the whole season.
I'm worried the way we play.
I actually agree with you but we’re just grinding results. If it were one or two games then ok. But it’s game after game now and it’s frustrating because it’s glaringly obvious what the issues are.We are boring, and I said it in some other posts that I am having a problem playing this way against Bilbao (although there is no denying they are tough team at their home), I have no problem whatsoever with your argument but people are making up some shit arguments here.
We aren't gonna win CL this way? FFS RM won CL this way in 2016. Pep got beaten many times when teams used this way. Juve and AM has been excellent this way. And again no fuckin way that any body has thought we are gonna win CL this year after the end of transfer market, we has lost our second best player, had to replace him with a young player who is currently not anywhere near him and failed to address midfield problem or the aging of Suarez and Pique.

Yeah. I pretty much don't care about results/trophies (but its good to have them!), I'd rather watch beautiful football.
Of course we have a chance
It’s all about the draw and a good draw and we can certainly win it
Its terrible to say this but i think Barca needs a wake up call against a top team. So far Valverde has continued with this trash 4-4-2 line up and with playing trash because it has worked thanks to messi and other luck (like our numerous own goals, but a time will come when we are exposed and I just hope that it happens early enough so something can be done to fix out team.
