Eusebio Sacristán,who is very good coach. Not sure what is the point you are making here.

There is no sane answer to this right question...
He is simply NOT Barca material, not our style, lacking the speed, the precision, creativity. He is tall but bad with his head, when loses the ball just imitates running backwards but usually he is 20 meters late...
I'd definitely at least try Mascherano in MF when Umtiti is back, that's his original place.

All his qualities I was complaining about when we signed him are what people are complaining about now. What happened to the "you don't need to be fast in our midfield, look at Xavi!"? The kid didn't even impress at the Euros but we signed him for big bucks anyway. He was such a what,huh? signing. I was bitching about Paco even worse, because while I think Gomes could be OKAY in another team, Paco just sucks regardless.
Three turtles in our midfield, no fucking clue what Lucho is thinking. RS smoked them in multiple occasions and ran circles arounder them.

The year I was born, Cruyff still played at Barça.
I'm probably way too old to get all riled up while watching my team, but damn last night sure wasn't good for my blood pressure.

The guy made the best results for Barca B team (only Lucho can compete with him in that regard) in Segunda and has totally transformed a mess of a team like Sociedad into very good team.
What he is doing with that team right now is removing any doubts about his quality.
He isn't decent at best by any mean.

Yes, eusebio, so what? He has to be pep, klopp, simeone, ancelotti or some other top coach name to recognize how good is he doing? Eusebio is doing great, i cant wait to see how is he gonna end with sociedad this season and depend on that, maybe take him to replace lucho

Isn't that mostly because Busquets was the only one pressing at times. I also noticed that when he press no one covers for him. Gomes falls asleep a lot. I actually remember Busquets pressing highly while everyone watched and the GK just kicked the ball into the space he left that no bad was covering.

Gomes might be a good player for an average Spanish team (definitely not for Barca or the Portuguese NT) but in case it is true that Lucho was the one craving for him, he was out of his mind back then.
He represents the A-TYPICAL player who has nothing to do with Barca's style, approach or qualities. He is slow and all that but most importantly: highly predictable. And that's the main problem, because he won't be able to consume a "creativity liquid" and suddenly become someone else. The greatness of MSN is that in good form they are UNPREDICTABLE, so is Iniesta and that's what makes Barca Barca today!
Even Arda (whom I wholeheartedly dislike) is capable of some small quantity of this needed unpredictability, which could work sometimes if the a football-field was a quarter of its size. But the supposedly good Gomes is loosing on the physical side too, which makes him anything but someone to serve useful or creative balls to the MSN or do something useful in defense... (He is tall but looses each and every duel in the air...)
If you are a good observer you can see that he has almost NO facial expressions whatsoever, which is a good sign to identify a "motoric", "robotic" and uninteresting average player, who can perhaps only force himself to be getting involved...
