Ernesto Valverde - V1

[serghei]

Busi and Pedro wouldn't have made it that fast under this guy. He'll never have promoted Busquets to play him in front of Yaya Toure, who was a strong and established DM at that time. Never.

And if he prefer "workhorses", im okay with that but he should go for more quality workhorse, throw money from griezmann for kante for example, paulinho and gomes are average at best and you cant play much better then this with them in the squad

This. If he really wants to play workhorses at least get quality ones. Gomes is a meme, Vidal is headless chicken and Paulinho is a one trick pony.

Busi was not promoted to play on front of Toure. He earned that.

Was also a better player.

He wasn't a better player than Toure when he was playing for Barca B. He became better by playing games for the first team.

It's not that simple. Most of the times coaches have to work with what they have.

What are you on about?

You said he promoted him to play ahead of Toure at DM which he never.

Better player than Alena.

To be honest, pep coached barca B, so he spent alot of time with them, valverde wasnt barca b coach, he doesnt spend much time with barca b players, and when some of them come to training, its not comparable to when you watch them every day and every match

Yeah, No! That was embarrassing to be honest. Some really thinking that it was a choice to sit back after that first half... We were pinned back again like in the first game against them.

2/3rds of the season gone and this team still can’t deal with the press.

No it was clearly a choice to take foot off pedal and sit back a bit more in second half.

You would think that he ordered them to do that is because he pitied his former club and refused to humiliate them further

I'm just kidding. Results are results though, at the end of the day..

 

[Stoichkov1]

Another clean sheet!

 

[Barcaman]

We are running out of steam

 

[FCBfan22]

Well, it's not a rocket science getting two players that are better than Denis, Gomes and Vidal for 30 million each.

Saw the second half only and fucking hell was it shit. Keep hearing the first half was amazing so not going to say much but we definitely need improvement.

Schooling a team thats 12th in la liga for one half and then getting outplayed by them in the second isn't something I would be happy with. But nice that he is consistently playing dembele now and is practising the 4-3-3 more.

We weren't outplayed at all.
