I agree with this as well
My original post was quite trolling/sarcastic, but the underlying point of it was that the new manager shouldn’t just have a “free pass” because his style is more palatable. The jury is out on him. The contract is structured well actually. He gets six months initially...
I’m not really defending valverde as much as I’m expecting the same standard to be applied to the new manager.
If valverde is pure garbage and bailed out by Messi then what does that make setien if he fails to win a league against Madrid clubs that are still as weak as they were the last two...
Setien needs to win the league or he’s out the door, simple as.
If it was so easy that valverde could do it then surely setien can do it with his magnificent style.
That’s the point I’m trying to make, he was a stabilising influence at a time the club needed it. People thought Barca would have a shocking defence and finish the season trophyless.
He outserved his usefulness but still has an important part in Barca history imo. He’s definitely worthy of more...
Did messi fix the abysmal defence in the 17/18 league campaign where Barca almost went undefeated?
Give people credit they deserve. Valverde has his flaws especially as his tenure went on but don’t just write off everything he did.
Some were of the opinion that the players are fine and it was just a manager problem, I think it was a manager AND player problem
Even pep couldn’t win cl with this current team
Well at least the players will be in the spotlight without the excuse of valverde to hide behind. Some of the wasters in the squad will be exposed and the forum regulars will have no answers
Getting rid of valverde should have meant moving past mediocrity, this is a lateral move maybe a very slight upgrade with more attractive football.
Barca needed a top coach with the power to tell older players what to do and a guy the youngsters would look up to
Giants have hired a random nobody as head coach and to top it off want Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator. This is Cleveland browns level stuff.
The once proud New York football giants are now a pathetic organisation
I don’t like the fact that the super Copa is in Saudi Arabia, horrible country that’s doing terrible things.
Muslims dont even like that place, if it wasn’t for the holy sites nobody would bother with it.
I’m oppossed to communist China as well.
Danny fucking Dimes!! Next franchise quarterback for the G Men. The guy reminds me of Peyton manning with the way he stands and throws the ball, got some good running ability too.
Shame the defence is terrible, but he’s a guy to build around.
Yeah my giants will be bad as expected this year. There’s a lot of rookies on defence and they got burned badly in week 1. The offense is going to be better than previous seasons though as the line is no longer terrible.
I see this season as a transition year where hopefully Eli loses the...
