Ernesto Valverde - V1

[serghei]

I am talking about Barca - Real matchup.

Big matchups rarely see many important players get rested.

We'll see if Madrid get past Juventus. I bet they will rest payers in el clasico.

Again.... Madrid were against one of worst teams in league, have given up on league and play a day earlier than Barca away to Juve in CL.

Totally different situation.

Good try. Valverde would've changed nothing if we played on tuesday and you know it. They have given up on the league almost, and we are already champions almost. Both pretty much have settled their affairs this season in La Liga. Now it's about having the players fresh for the big fight in CL.

Didn't people complain by the way that we started such a weak line-up against Las Palmas? Something along the lines of end the game early and then sub off players?

Forum is inconsistent on many occasions.

That would be a viable solution also, but he's not doing that either. How many times have you seen key players getting rested at 5-1 in min 60? Girona for example. Guy could've put Mina on at 4-1 at half time and rested Pique, so we won't see him touching his knee every half an hour.

No good try by you to try and make out Barca away to Sevilla is comparable to Real away to Las Palmas when they have given up on league and play tougher CL game away from home a day earlier.

Barca start dropping points in league from focusing on CL and you start going on about biggest embarrasment ever to lose league title like that..

Didn't people complain about too many rotations with Lucho previous seasons?

We weren't 11 points ahead last season.

 

[JamDav1982]

We weren't 11 points ahead last season.

Through rotating so often maybe.

 

[serghei]

Through rotating so often maybe.

Which is why nobody asked Valverde to go crazy with rotations, especially until he got us to a point where we can actually rest players and still win La Liga with ease.

But Barca lose today then drop points in another couple games he rotates in and this place erupts like you did before about it being biggest embarassement in football history to lose such a lead.

I see. So he can only beat the likes of Leganes, Deportivo, Levante, with 600m. worth of players. Not with 300m. He should be able to win the needed points while resting some key players before key games in CL.

Nah you are making things up again.

Would be fine with him rotating more in easier games but needs to do it at right times and minimise chances of dropping points. Even when this far ahead.

No idea what point you are trying to make.

Nah, he can drop points. Quite a few actually. Not the end of the world if we draw a couple of games.

Nah again making up things to respond to... no one is claiming cant drop any points but the melt down from likes of you if lose to Sevilla, lose to Real at home etc is predictable.
