I have been his fan till now.
Also, I am a fan of workhorses, but a few remarks:
1. 442 with Iniesta-Rakitic-Busi and a winger (Dembele/Vidal/Roberto) is not as strong as Iniesta-Rakitic-Busi-Paulinho/Gomes.
This wasn't a defensive team at all.
EV was trying to block their wings with Roberto-Semedo and our midfield (which was a big defensive strength till now) was a giant hole.
2. Semedo hasn't played for Months and then he plays 3 matches in 8 days, lol.
3. Roberto is playing every single match for Months and then he plays all matches again.
4. EV doesn't know how to rotate players since he is a rookie coach for a team who plays in 3 competitions. We paid a price tonight for having a rookie coach.
5. he didn't rotate players, but even worse, I HATE CDR, and when you combine tons of matches after a New year with zero rotations and a lot of old players, the same thing happened: a lot of our players are dead toted, as always in April. Seen 100s of times in previous seasons.
6. EV is obviously a rookie coach in terms of a mental preparation and in terms of mental strength.
7. Also, I will not forgive him chasing records, that was another rookie thing. I don't care for fckng records in La liga. We could have won CL this season.
8. Semedo was totally out of sync with a rest of a defense. Why playing him now?
9. It was comical too see how poor we were in defending set pieces and crosses. Another burden of having short, technical players.
On the other hand, we couldn't create a single good cross or a corner.
In the end, after everything what happened, this season is a failure in my eyes.
I am done with him now, sadly.
Too many rookie mistakes in the same moment.
I don't like rookie young players, well so, I will hate rookie coaches from now on for Barca's level.
EV has done a lot of good things, but a lack of experience and some rookie ideas (chasing records, a lack of rotations, poor mental strength of a team) killed him in the end.
