Yeah... because Barca is simply not good enough, specially under EV.
- The team has aged and became very slow compared to present tendencies.
- No right back like Alves used to be, who gave the most assists to Messi ever.
- Alba has believed that he is more or less a winger, so weaker when needs to defend against a motivated and good opponent.
- No skilled and attacking minded midfielders. Busi and Rakitic have been good, but their time is over.
- There's a huge gap between the midfield and the 2 and a half attackers, Messi needs to do both tasks alone.
- Suarez has declined a lot, he shouts more and shots less.
- Valverde is a mediocre entity, not capable of working with a Barca team, he has no tactical vision whatsoever.
- Valverde is anything but a brave manager, he is too result-oriented, not noticing at the same time that quality has declined.
- Valverde thought Barca can get through at Anfield by thinking only about the 3:0 at Camp Nou, but he did NOT think about the actual bad performance produced at the 1st leg.
- Valverde is seriously mistaken by thinking he created a team around and for Messi. He created a bad team WITHOUT Messi, regardless the few occasions and favorable results, when Messi was absent.
- Valverde is a faceless, characterless and a mediocre to bad coach, who didn't care for the actual quality of game-play, rather favored tiring, often lucky wins by 1:0 or 2:1.
