Attack will be better once Raph returns and Yamal is fit, goes without saying, but I also had hopes that the defense could be fixed as well after players get accustomed to the system. That hope has gone, entire backline is midtable level and there is nothing one can do about it. I doubt "play deeper" is the solution either, this defense will get wrecked even more when the opponent is allowed more time on the ball.

Only hope right now is outscoring, outpressing and Garcia heroics.

Defence will be better once the defenders find their form back, Kounde has been terrible so far this season, dont know if its fatigue because he looked tired yesterday

I wanted to make a comparison of the top clubs regarding injured players.
Barca has 5 injured players

Clubs with many injuries:
Arsenal - 7
Liverpool - 8
Inter - 5
Napoli -5
Juve -6
….

So i think we have just bad luck combined with a small squat

It depends also if the injured players are key players or bench players
Anyways, most playerd are back now, we need Lewy and Raphi fit and then Hansi will cook

Yes, sure and this also depends on coincidence but it's often written that everything is done wrong at Barca (training, preparation, etc.). The fact is, many clubs have these problems. One year it's Real Madrid (24/25) and another year it's Barca (25/26); it's simply a matter of luck. Only if this happens several years in a row do we need to worry. And as i said, we don’t have 20 strong players like man city, chelsea

This job is probably the most stressful coaching job in the entire sport. Lots of pressure to deliver results AND play a beautiful way. Remember that one match during Tata Martino's tenure where he won like 4-0 but there was still a ton of backlash from the players and the fans on how we parked the bus? That sort of pressure is nowhere else in the game.

He looks 10 years older from his Bayern/Germany coaching days in just one season here. For some reason, most coaches cannot handle all the stress in Barcelona. It's too much, even for the likes of Pep and Lucho.

I think much like he stumbled on Garcia at RB last season due to injuries.

He will stumble on what most here have said we should try, which is Casado de Jong pivot & pedri at 10 in some games.

Instead of pedri staying in the pivot & de Jong at 10, which just doesn't help the team.
