    FC Barcelona tactics under Ernesto Valverde - matches analysis with pics

    Point A) True, Profit is no.1 priority for the board. Point B) True, Big names bring people to Camp Nou. Point C) "Our defense is one of the worst in the league at the moment": Semedo, Pique/Todibo, Lenglet/Umtiti, Alba/Firpo is not one of the worst defensive lines in the league. "We don't...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Still can't see a reason why he can't replace Suarez centrally. He plays great there, at least compared to current Suarez.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Very unlucky start this season for him. No surprise the team has mixed results. I hope this injury is something different and not a relapse.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Whatever each one of us may believe about him, his pace is astonishing. Shame if he doesn't build on that.

    Ernesto Valverde

    You start by addressing the problems one by one, in order of importance in my opinion. As I mentioned before, it's not even about tactics or sporting reasons anymore. EV needs to leave, because the team has lost all drive, unity, cohesion and confidence. A change is needed when that point is...

    Lliga | Round 6: FC Barcelona - Villarreal CF 2-1

    One senior player in each line should be enough. Messi up front. Busi in the middle. Pique at the back. Don't play Suarez from the start. He is out of form. Play Semedo in his position. He can't play on the left. Trust Firpo with one more game. He is our only LB backup. Trust Alena at some point...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Raki doesn't seem to have anything left in the tank, neither physically nor mentally. But if I am being honest with myself, I can't judge him (yes, even him), as long as Valverde is here. We can't blame half of the players' performances on the couch and the other half on their abilities.

    Ernesto Valverde

    I can't see us having a mental coach. Our away form would be much better if we did I guess.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Firpo's mistake is on him. Alba has many blunders himself. Punishing him though is Valverde's mistake. As all the other things mentioned from so many others.

    Junior Firpo

    Yes, can't really judge him based on this game at all. Subbing him off was the wrong choice though. He confidence must be at a record low now.

    Philippe Coutinho

    From the highlights, it looks like he does all the bad things he was criticized for while playing here. Going too softly to receive the ball and losing possession often when under any kind of pressure.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Isn't it amazing that we can't get players that "Fit our System", even if there is no system at all? Amazing stuff!

    Junior Firpo

    Isn't he closer to what Alba is though? Haven't seen him much, but he was very good going forward at least.

    Antoine Griezmann

    I, personally, will not put any judgment on Griezmann, until he is played in a position that, at least remotely, resembles one of Centre-Forward / Second Striker and takes advantage of his skillset.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Putting aside the ridiculousness of that statement, here are some facts: If a player looks fat and uninterested the coach must bench him (Messi by your sayings). If a player is out of form the coach must bench him (Suarez). If a player consistently performs amazingly he should be a starter...
