3-4-3 is atrocious. This bullshit cost us the CL in 11/12 and cost Pep a hammering in the CL game v Barca (he switched 30 mins in but we could have been 3-0 up by then).
Possession is only good when it's in the service of vertical movement. Horizontal/back passes to keep 80% and get destroyed on counter attacks is different shit than EV but still shit.

Pretty much, yes. I recall our shitty from 11/12 very vividly. It was dreadful.
I've said for years Barca will be like Milan once Messi goes. That might have been an underestimation.

Same, going from too many days off to intense training sessions day after day without any days off almost is kind of extreme though. Setien is preparing this team as if we are in preseason. He doesn't have the luxury to build fitness over the next month without caring for results.
In fact, this game looks like the first preseason game, with the players being after the first intense training sessions after a vacation.

Who cares about the Copa anyway? But yes, still a defeat to Ibiza will be embarrassing.

He is screwed either way.

It's an interesting period, even if it might end bad.
Copa only matters as part of a double or treble, it's a weak consolation prize if you miss out in league and Europe and few would back Barca to win either

If we continue with this 3-4-3 shit then Setien deserves as much blame as the players in this match. Even more if you ask me as he has seen over 70 minutes of this shitshow and he still decided to not take any measures.
Edit: finally a goal, nice pass by Frenkie there and good finish by Griezmann. Still not enough.
