The system and the tactics were pretty good. We have to work at implementing it better and at trying to keep the same rhythm for longer than 30 mins.

Agreed. Fati on the left where he belongs and Messi with Griez switching from right to center between them plus Semedo starting ahead of Roberto, finally. Hope he keeps that but will gona be hard to mentain the instensity throughout the whole game since the tem is weak in physical preparation.

I liked what I have seen today. But that early goal was a massive help for game switchin in Barças favour. They could play their way.

A decent performance overall. Good for the first 15 minutes and dropped off a bit after that. Hopefully keeps improving game after game.

Meh game overall. Maybe the players relaxed after the 2-0. Some good attacks and also some shite defending on our part, leaving acres of space for opponents to run into.
Not seen something different from the Valverde era. Will have to wait and see what happens next.

2nd Grizmann goal disallowed for offsides, not sure that's the right call, but good that we are threatening their goal again.

What difference are you expecting to see with the same players? Not possible. And Setien is the same shit as Valverde as a coach.

Really? Didn't you guys spot Griezmann's position and swaps with Messi? Was the happening with EV too?
Didn't you see us play through the middle and attempting throuballs?
The first 30 minutes of the game.. did you watch that?
I am not sure how great a change needs to be for some to spot, but I have a question.
If you see no difference and say that we are playing shit, then surely you must realise we have been playing shit with EV too.

When fans celebrate a win over the last team in the liga so loudly, then a reality check and probably some strong medication is in order. The pill is called "CL direct elimination stage" and usually comes as a suppository of uncomfortably large size.

We are playing better than with Valverde, but not quite well enough to win big titles this season.

John, I do respect your opinion as a fellow Barca fan, but I have to tell you one thing. Your hate toward Ernesto has blindfolded you in a very bad way. To that point, that you are seeing differences in our system.I did not see any major changes aside of the improved play of Semedo in the last two games. Griezmann has never played as true # 9 as he supposed to as Suarez replacement. All three of the front line were switching their position, but that comes because of Messi. As you know, he is fake right wing. Messi has the freedom to play wherever he wants. It's been the same with Valverde. It is not possible to have great changes when the entire roster is the same. I don't blame Setien for that, but he is no better coach than EV. Lets not forget the fact that he came in as a fourth choice, after all other has refused the job. That is why, I don't expect great changes from him, at least not in the winter.

Didn't have any expectations, bro. Just stating what I saw.

Your stats are right, I am not arguing at all. Lets not forget that we have played against one of the two worst teams in La Liga. And we were looking really bad at the back. A better team could easily get advantage of that.

Better in what regards?
We have played 4 games under Setien, with Granada currently at 11-th position, Ibiza ( Third Level Team ), Valencia ( 7-th place ) and Leganes ( Last Place in La Liga ) We barely beat the first two teams and when we faced a little better one (Valencia) they slapped us in the face. So that 5:0 against the worst team means absolutely nothing to me. But, don't get me wrong. That is not Setien's fault. You can not expect anything from this group of players.

Pep struggled bigtime at first. Lucho as well. Rijkaard almost got sacked. They all had hungrier squads and pre-seasons.

Give the man some time before we see how it works.
