Ernesto Valverde - V1

[Tackle]

Yes, this squad has limitations but his weak mentality and lack of a solid plan get exposed at the highest level. We don't have the legs or work ethic? Maybe it's time to start integrating the youngsters and benching or selling the seniors? Instead he plays guys like Suarez and Rakitic game in game out. I guarantee a guy like Mourinho would have played the same dogshit style as Shitverde but we would have made it through both of those matches instead of collapsing in a heap.
Shitverde has no balls either on or off the pitch.

I understand what you're saying and in theory the solution is very simple, isn't it? Bench the old, physically incapacitated seniors and inject youth and fresh blood into the squad!

In practice this situation presents the coach with many more problems. EV had two options:

1. Compromise his tactical authority to play the experienced heavyweights of the squad, whom despite physical decline still possess world class technical qualities. This keeps the big names on his side and is the safest of the two options by far.

OR

2. Bench the senior players to impose his style on the team and opt for unproven, less technical players that have the legs, but are probably not good enough to command starting spots at a club of this stature. This strategy has major risks with the new players possibly falling short of fulfilling expectations and the seniors tuning against him.

At first Valverde tried to impose his tactical structure on to the existing core of players and after realizing they didn't have what it took play his brand of football settled with option 1 of keeping the big names settled and giving them the license to play the football they are most comfortable with.

Valverde is not the coach to kickstart a revolution. Sacking him only to bring in a small fry like Koeman or Martinez would have been a mistake. They're much more limited managers that despite also giving in to every whim of the senior players would not be able to grind out results in league as effectively as Valverde has.

Ironically EV's now infamous "It is what it is" quote is the perfect way to describe the club's current situation. A fresh team is on it's way, just wait a few more years. Now is not the time.

I came to the conclusion that posters like Messigician, Havesex, Tackle...etc are paid by FC Barcelona to promote the board propaganda and silence criticism on social media platforms like Twitter, IG, football forums like Reddit, barcaform...etc. We can see patterns of correlation between those accounts which might reveal a network of individuals or an organization behind them. Jamdav username was just the beginning, his sudden disappearance and the appearance of new more balanced troll accounts only confirms this suspicion. We will see new accounts, some might be registered long ago, for next season trolling.

This method is common by now, used by large corporates, political parties, and state-run media.

Sounds logical but would they care what we think though? Its not like we socio’s who can change something. At best we can get a narrative online thing going but even then it would be ignored in the end.

There are still people making excuses for EV Poor Ernie he just didn't have the right players to play proper football

Agree.

Ban these fuckers.

😃 Shitverde wants to sign players like Moreno, Parejo and Wilian. Pretty funny that some still continue to defend him.

Still waiting..

lol Georgie Boy, Freudian slip or typo?

 

[delancey]

Still can't believe that we are stuck with Cowardverde for another season. Ratomeu has really outdone himself this time.

 

[Medz]

You gotta be a real loser to still support Valverde after 3 of the most humiliating defeats in recent years.

 

[abbbs97]

People who still defend Fraudverde are worse than Bartomeu. At least barto has an excuse to still defend him which is to not ruin his own image, even though thats a bad reason.
What are Shitverde's defenders excuses?

Wait a few years? Are u kidding??
Now is the time where the overhaul has to start. Our squad is already way too old and we will end up like many othere big teams which realized too late. Valverde has to integrate youth NOW.

Valverde has to integrate youth NOW.
