    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We desperately need a new 9. Suarez will not play for the rest of the season. The board and manager must surely see that. What are we doing? Any news?

    Quique Setien

    When we played typical 4-3-3 during buildup under EV, Busquets dropped between the center backs (3 men at the back) while the fullbacks advanced. That caused great distances between our dm and cms, so we had to advance from the wings, through fullbacks who were higher up. I think he is trying...

    Copa: Ibiza - Barca 1-2

    Couldn't watch the match but the feeling is we were bad. From the lineup this seemed like super experimental. I saw Antoine on the right? How did he play?

    Ernesto Valverde

    He doesn't suggest that at any point. He is saying we had big and obvious problems despite of the results. No suggestions about firing the manager mid season were made in that post.

    Atlético Madrid

    This aged beautifully and I am not being ironic. Please, tell that to some other people in this forum, who are afraid that more training will make our team worse somehow.

    Irrelevant with the game played. Irrelevant with the game played and contradicting with supporting EV. EV never managed a big team before. neither did Pep . neither did Lucho. etc. Same as above. Irrelevant with the game played. EV did a really bad job for 2 seasons on this departement. But...

    Quique Setien

    Consider this. You are on a Lada Niva going 150Kph (if it can even reach that) through heavy rain, a steep turn is ahead of you and you can clearly see it. If you slow down to avoid falling down the hill are you a prophet or a reasonable human being? Your expectations may be whatever, but...

    Quique Setien

    I personally never said I wanted the team to fail or lose or whatever. Losing in the copa was no problem though as it helped us get rid of EV. Beyond that, the "prophets of the future" were proven right though, which should at least give some credibility to their assessment. Even though it was...

    Quique Setien

    You say you were "okey with his management right until Anfield and Copa loss" but the people you call "massively biased against Valverde", have been saying that Anfield was coming for too long. That was not bias at that point. That was a realisation that happened over the course of the season...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Wtf. I am saying the exact opposite.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Wait for EV to find a team (this could take a while) and sell Coutinho there for peanuts. Both will end up with depression.

    Quique Setien

    I agree with the Griezmann point. They should absolutely play on opposite wings with Fati. On the Umtiti front, I still have hope for Umtiti, so that's the reason I support the decision. About the final paragraph, I do mention this on a post above and I absolutely respect that. I am not sure...

    1. Roberto played a good game though. I would have prefered to see Semedo too, and hope we will on the next game. Didn't like that either. 2. Umtiti had a great game and is a far better player than Lenglet can ever be. His form is an issue, but he will never recover it if not playing at all...

    Quique Setien

    Of course that is true. It is hard to distance ourselves from our established opinions when assessing a situation. But it's not entirely impossible. There is another clear pattern emerging here though. You can easily spot, that most users (not all) that have supported EV, are immensely biased...

    It should also be a given that Arthur and FDJ will play more, over Vidal and Rakitic when fit and available. That is my hope at least.

    Quique Setien

    There is literally nothing that will make some people be a little bit more lenient. Not overexcited or anything like that. Just be able to see the positives and negatives in an objective manner. There were negatives of course. We can go over them. But there is no point if someone refuses to...
