He did this many times: Start with a line-up no one understands then try to correct mistakes in the second half. An example is starting Gomes in the Copa against Valencia then sub him out at half time.
Talk about referee? This game was against the 19th of the league. This should have been an easy 3+ goals win but Valverde decided to make it difficult.
Probably the worst player to ever play for Barca. Can anyone explain why the double pivot man was playing so far forward and wasting the team's attack build-up? And again he showed his defending is incredibly bad.
Even Suarez or Messi would be better suited for that role than Paulinho. Watch him playing in front of Vidal on the wing. Remember when he was subbed in for Busquets last game? He still managed to get in the way of Dembele on the wing!
He doesn't trust them enough to start them against Las Palmas! Instead trusts Paulinho and Vidal. Surely this would boost their confidence. Why sign new players when the manager wouldn't trust them no matter how they perform?!
He is.
At least Gomes knows that there is something called position in football. Just watch Paulinho getting in the way of every body everywhere on the field.
