The 1st thing that happened after he arrived is the club losing its second best player. He doesn't have same power as a guy like Pep have in his club, probably he doesn't want to do a Pique and say something that he might regret

That was out of his control as Neymar would have left regardless of who the manager was. Paulinho left because he wanted to leave as he got his salary doubled.
I think it's a cop out tbh. If he said clearly that he is going to stay and that's it then I don't think the club will actively shop him around, if they're indeed doing that.

How is Valverde still Barca manager after what happened in Rome anyway?
Do you think he would have kept his job if he was a Real Madrid or Bayern manager?

When will the players get some blame? We lost a 4-1 lead to ROMA of all teams. Sure he got the tactics wrong but that doesn't excuse the complete shit and lethargical performance they displayed that day. We won the copa del rey easily and wouldve gone undefeated in the leage if again, our players wouldn't have shat the bed against f*king levante

Yes, the players are guilty too, but if you put in Andre Gomes to change the result, you must be deluded as fuck.

1. What are those losses which are worse than losing a 3 goal advantage to AS ROMA!!!?
2. Are you seriously comparing this Valverde guy to Pep Guardiola?

The players are responsible as well, but this guy when it was 2-0 for Roma decided to bring on ANDRE GOMES to save the day!!!

I mean when it was 2-0 it was almost a sure thing Roma would score a third even if they needed to attack with 11 men, so it was clear the only way Barca could qualify is to score at least one goal. So while Rome were attacking with all they have and leaving space behind you would think the logical thing to do is bringing a quick player like Dembele to exploit that space, but Valverde thought Gomes is the best option for that situation. Andre Gomes, the guy who can't go nearby an opponent player without committing a foul, was the best option for Valverde against a very strong team on the standards like Roma.

look, messi had a big chance, 1 on 1 vs goalkeeper, which if he scored, barca would be through, but he didnt, it happens, even to him
valverde had his own fuck ups which you mentioned, but main players didnt also help, they looked like they didnt care, and you get this, getting out vs roma

absolutely not. its not like he lost 4-1 to a top side either, it was roma of all teams. fans of those other clubs wouldn't have that
with the way athletico have strengthened their side and barca probably never getting as easy a path to the ucl finals as least season, this guy could potentially end up winning nothing but the CdR

The players are responsible for the result as well, especially the main players like you said. Many of the main players underperformed last season and they still continued starting games without any consequences. Valverde has a weak personality and only shows authority and ego against young or new players.
