Ernesto Valverde - V1

[Ghostmaster]

It's getting too easy for Valverde, we need to bring Gomes, Deulofeu and Arda back so that other teams at least have a little chance.

 

[henias]

Doing well today doesnt guarantee that for the rest of the season. Will still need to be prove at the same level till the end of the season.

Hope he does, and take lessons from these games.

lol now you have attributed the problem to being Barca missing a player. I thought it was Valverde all the time.

In absence of Messi, Arthur saved him. Will his luck ever run out?!

LMAO all of sudden EV's cheerleading squad resurrected and coming out with full force

You are simplifying it.
If Barcaforum were a coach, you would probably play Coutinho-Arthur-Busi, Dembele-Messi-Suarez (or some crazy Malcom-Messi-Dembele) lineup, with Semedo as a RB.

So, there are more factors than just Arthur:
1. Rakitic
2. 3 true Cms, and not Couitnho
3. 4 or 5 midfielders in midfield-attacking line
4. no Dembele
5. Roberto
6. oh, and some players actually improved lately under EV

ONCE AGAIN: it is NOT only: Arthur in= Valverde's ass saved.
He made a few changes in the last 5 matches.

The most important change was starting Arthur. If you are talking about introducing Rafinha instead of Dembele, well, Rafinha sucked ass today and Dembele came in and killed the match. I don't see other changes besides that. You are too stubborn to admit the theory of master race belongs to 1930s not modern football.

still an average coach lucky to have one of the most expensive squads ever assembled

let's see if "brillianto" can get us past the CL quarterfinals

 

[Cule4life]

Can't just support the manager fully for once... Only "but buts", perennial perfectionism and constant moaning from the supporters until they get exactly what they want and not an ounce less... Suarez just came out and said what should be reflected by most Cules. Pff. Whatever. It'll be the doom of you eventually.

Just hope Madrid show the same faith in Lopetegeui as you show in Valverde.

Good to see you too.

Identical cases. Struggling to see the difference.

those first 20 minutes in the second half should be adressed though.. I was raging with anger with how we looked frail in that very critical period.

exactly this. when you watch us falling under wave after wave of attacks and then you see EV crouching doing sweet fuck all.. red mist

We won 5-1 why are you complaining. Wait for a Roma style result when that "crouching" does us damage before criticizing Valverde.

Those were waves of attacks by a team that won 4 CLs in the last 5 years.
Is there any team in the world against whom Real won't have at least 10-20 minutes when they will be totally dominating?

I don't think so.
At least in the last 5+1 years.

Ok, we could have reacted better.
But it is not as if we were dominated by Las Palmas or something.

 

[Horatio]

At least in the last 5+1 years.

I see what you did there.

 

[Joan]

We definitely should've reacted better. Those minutes were horrendous. Reacted well in the end changing dynamics of the match.
