1217384408992317440 Things are changing fast after Valverde is gone.

It wasn't only the loss against Atletico, it was that draw against Espanyol as well, losing 2 points against the worst team in La Liga andin general we have been horrible in almost all away matches this season.

So the guy is a farmer, he would do well in France then:thinking: Just kidding, I think he'll do well here. We saw what he is capable of with far less talented team, here he'll have world class players, plus money to buy them. And hopefully, it'll be the end of Rakitic and Roberto as a starters.

1216674300150743041 The training session is taking place right now, we'll see if it's true soon enough.

I read that Vidal will leave if Valverde is staying, you now what that means, there is only one winner here, - Rakitic, with Arthur injured, he'll be a starter until the end of the season:wub:

I am guessing there wasn't even an option for Xavi to take over now, it's something the media made up, they offered him the job from next season.

I said "like", if he doesn't play bunch slow players all together like Valverde was doing again and again, then we should build Xavi a statue.

He really doesn't have to be next Pep, what I expect him to do is drop these slow players like Rakitic, Roberto, Busi and play faster football. I remember he said that if he was Barca manger, Puig would be a starter or in the first team, so there is a hope that we'll see some positive changes.

These coaching records are not very good indicators to decide whether the manager will be succesful future Barca coach, Lucho didn't have impressive track record as well, but was succesful. It's more about being a right fit for us. Valverde definitly is not right fit for us, I think Koeman can...

Why is Koeman obviously a bad choice for Barca? I've seen couple of Netherland's NT matches and it looks really lovely, fast and dynamic team. Valverde talks about how we need more dynamism in our team and yet likes to play slow players, - Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Busquets, Lenglet. You...

My prediction, we win 6-0, Griezmann 4 goals 2 assists, Valverde gets contract renewal the next day:coffee:

I mean, how they even came up with an idea that Griezmann will fit us on the LW? Yeah, he played on the wing at Real Sociedad, but that was ages ago. Sigh, we should have kept Malcom instead and saved 120M.

Classic 3-1-6 :lol:

Griezmann of course is not a sole reason we lost, but the point is that with him, Messi and Suarez the attack is dysfunctional and there is no way to fix it because you can't bench Messi and play Griezmann in his position, you can't bench Suarez because you can't play without strikers, so what...

Coutinho definitely could have done better with different manager, Dembele is plagued with injuries, so he wouldn't have developed even under better manager, but what would change for Griezmann if we, let's say get Koeman? He is not a pure striker, so he still need to have a striker next to him...

Sigh, same story over and over again, defense can't deal with fast pacy players, only Semedo is fast, Pique, Lenglet, Sergi Roberto is just getting humiliated. Griezmann doesn't fit anywhere, neither wing nor centrally, he doesn't do anything good besides couple one touch passes, 120M for this...

No problem, we just sell Coutinho and Griezmann, so we can afford to buy him and then we'll play him on the wing...

Valverde did the same stuff he did against Eibar, they played high line so we played faster counter attacking football, it worked that time, but against Slavia it was backfiring horribly, he should have switched to more possession based football, but instead, he was standing and watching Ter...

Players are smart, why run if you have Ter Stegen in the goal, you simply relax and wait until he gets the work done and maybe even deliver the ball straight to your feet. So much energy saved for the weekend for poker, fortnite playing, beach walking etc.

I hate this front three. I mean look at other teams, for example City has Sane-Aguero-Sterling, Liverpool Mane-Firmino-Salah, Bayern Koeman-Lewandowski-Gnabry, they all have one thing in common - they have wingers. What we have here is just disaster, yes, it may work against Eibar, maybe it'll...
