While I agree, with your observation, there was no easy way out for EV at the later stages. It was a result of his own mis/non-management, plus power shift in the lockerroom, that he could not reverse. If the players decide/influence what to do, because "Amigos" have the say on the pitch or at...

meanwhile somewhere else... :rambo::police::2guns:

All games I remember in the last 12 months showed that Barca ran LESS km than the opponent, despite playing possession! So, it is good to see training intensity is high - enough of these lukewarm rondo-marathons. I hope Setien finds the right dose of trainings stimulus .... :D The fact that I...

OK, EV had a winning streak when he started. But hold on - is it possible that EV had no active influence in this? I do belive so... EVs coaching style /philosophy (lol!) can be seen only after a while, and then of course in tough games. Except Juve there was no big win. (cough Athletic 1:1) So...

that is as true as it is questionable, running a billion business with amateurs.

Yes, if your are in bad situation your choices are limited. But hold on, it is the primary job of management/board to WIDEN their options in advance, long before things looks so shitty, that you have to act in an emergency mode! :facepalm: After 2.5 (!!) years they realized, as it seems, over...

sorry for the slightly OP question - but what car company is board barto driving when he left training complex today? https://e00-marca.uecdn.es/assets/multimedia/imagenes/2020/01/13/15789198512790.jpg

That is true, but does it take SPECIAL tactical training for senior players like Pique, Alba, Busquets, Raki, who are all in their last 20% of their long top career, to hold a 2-1 at the 80th minute? I do not think so, to me Barca was playing too high, and Atletico got several (!) breaks...

Why blame Oblak? Without him Atletico would not have survived the 90 minutes , also against Barca he was very good .... BTW: is it already a well-established tradition that Ramos throws the cup under the bus? Or will he come up with newly celebrational finesse: like vomiting into the cup or...

I do not know what to think about this tournament ... the fact that the final was not a great game does not help either... :hooray:

actually that was one of the better barca teams I have seen this season - well it about winning 30mio, in this cup... also the halftime show - or lets call it the "rumble with the Colchoneros " was also showing the intensity and also entertaining ...

Barca has a couple of problems: -. Valverde -. old team -. too many bad transfers in the last 4 years very costly (dembele, coutinho, ...)

Griez sub was strange ... in that moment when we need to defend : Griez > Messi who cares if we win 1-3 ? But hey you cant take down the world best player!

Cant we give EV to Madrid - on loan - and get money? :-D I had the highest respect for the Barca board if they manage to get this contract signed ....

who ever says Puig is ready has to convince me... to me another unexperienced player, who on top of it - is physically not ready... like Fati who is being tossed on the field....

I can imagine Henry is an unexperient trainer when it comes to top-clubs (so was Zidane). But he is personality wise not a strong character, and that fits perfectly to the board, they will only accept rubberstamps and yes-sayer - and this will not change unless they finish la liga in...

this makes me think... 1. next time someone is on the bench or on the field- it might have financial reasons - who would have thought. 2. everyone here cries he should leave (either childish reaction - those who are complaining are not worthy enough being part of our group or what?) OR because...

is there a definition that we can agree on? Otherwise... OK, so you intended different scenarios, when you said "crisis" ... I understand...

I like the fact that he is not talking/arguing aggressively AGAINST people and their ideas - but present his ideas (with a lot of details and not just one liners). Not that I agree with it - but I appreciate the effort of a new/different perspective as it helps me to shape/balance/verify my own...

They had crisis .... lets recap: Crisis nr1. The loss of CL final vs. Real: They dominated the first 20 min, then Ramos wins through ippon vs. Sarah - the team is shocked and insecure, followed up by an elbow check vs. Karius keeper and the whole thing ran down the drain .... RM did not beat...
