    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    As long as Coutinho doesnt step up massively or a Messi on fire carries the team through the rest of the season, I cant allow myself to expect ultra-dynamic attractive offensive football consistently , especially in big games. Suarez , Dembélé are obivously not playmakers and cannot be given...

    Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

    Excellent result but ther playing performance could be better. I hope Valverde will take the courage to put Coutinho in midfield saturday in the next Classico. The 4-4-2 brings a lot of stability in midfield off the ball, but on the ball, apart from Busquets who is no really a CM, I cannot see...

    Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

    Coutinho clearly has the potential to become one of the best offensive/central midfielder in the world. It's a shame he has been underperforming, a Coutinho on fire in midfielf could give Barca a decisive edge. It's a risk to put him there at the moment but a risk that could have huge rewards...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Nothing to compare considering the fact that the team has massively changed. No Xavi, No more Iniesta, no Alves, Neymar gone (which wasnt a bad thing imho) All of these players have not been properly replaced. To the admin that named the thread "retardo"... simply childish... what else can I...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I would be enthusiastic about watching a 3-4-3 but this would take time to establish and trying it out without any emergency in the CL would be quite risky. I would like to see this : ------------------Suarez------------------- ---Coutinho-----------------------Dembele...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I could see how giving Arthur this huge task could get us through the quarter finals, but after this, dont be surprised if we get properly lit up by, seemingly, tactically more disciplined and phyically more intense teams , at the moment, such as City or Liverpool. Once again, I would not shy...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Look, I don't think I will be continuing to answer some childish remarks nourished by the nostalgia of a spoiled Barca supporter. I will put it simply : Iniesta has left, do you believe Arthur can lace his shoes ? Who is more befitting to replace Iniesta exactly where he played with the same...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It's not a lineup Mister Doctor Professor, it'show the lineup could evolve in offensive phases It's easy to criticize Barca's static phases, but what would you expect. Another solution would be to give Coutinho the place Iniesta had in a Coutinho-Busquets-Rakitic midfield. But it didn't work...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Instead of having these childish comments wait till the end of the season to give a better judgement. I do not always understand his choices, but the task he has, considering the players he has in central midfield, is not easy. And the results are there... for the moment... Semedo has been...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I don't think we need much of control simply because Xavi and Iniesta are not there anymore. What we need is efficiency according to our means. And if we do not consider Coutinho a central midfielder, and I do believe he can become one of the best there potentially, our meany are quite limited...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I am not saying Valverde is the best manager of the decade but it's always easy to find one sole responsible for the situation. I simply think that Barca doesn't have the means in midfield it once had to play the elite football it played a few years ago. A tactical and stylistical readjustment...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    Hello, I would humbly suggest that it seems Barca doesn't have the means in midfield to play the football it once played and should adapt and readapt it's style aynd tactics while keeping it's guiding football principles We are however in february, I highly doubt this will happen in the next...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Alaba's skillfull versatility would have been a huge plus. He is, to me, a left-fotted a lot more upgraded version of Sergi Roberto with less physicality

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I expect Barca to get badly beaten up next season if Rabiot and/or Willian should join and get a starting place. Xavi wa right about the club's incompetence in terms of transfers. Apart from Thiago and Alaba, I can't see any realistic transfer that would be beneficial to Barca's midfield...
