-A defensive manager who conceded more goals than most lower midtable teams.
-A tactical manager who makes defensive subs when Barca is up 1 goal to protect the lead.
-A tactical manager who ditches his game plan and makes full offensive subs when Barca is losing.
-A visionary manager who clearly shouldnt improve hopeless young players like Malcom or Dembele (as no manager could) and makes wise decisions to play Rafinha and Roberto on the wings.
Tactical and visionary genius.

It pisses me off that the first thing he thinks in subbing off Roberto due to an injury is deciding that Rafinha was the obvious choice and not someone like Dembele or Malcom who have the pace and ability to really put the screws to Atletico out wide.
We didn't need any more Midfield control, we needed more guys out there that have the speed and technical ability to help Suarez and Messi up top and not guys like Rafinha who just bring work rate.

Wrong coach for the team in every way.
Hes a defensive type of coach (and not very good at that either)
Our best defense should be our attack and posession, not defense and counterattacks.
We are playing 4-5-1 with one slow attacker. No wonder we have no edge in the final third.

if this idiot is given a contract extension i seriously think Barto is sabotaging us on purpose. i get the whole 'were Barca we don't sack managers mid season' but fucking hell this guys football brand could empty stadiums
something weird is going on as like people said, EV gets a free pass. where is Xavi? surely he must be tearing his hair out watching this abomination?

Press would rather spend the time vilifying certain players and beg the club for certain signings along with trying to convince people that Neymar coming back wouldn't be a bad idea at all despite how he left and threw the club under the bus with his lawsuit wanting his loyalty bonus.
Valverde is basically getting a free pass by the Catalan press for his bullshit.

He’s absolutely infuriating.
Overly cautious and shows no sense of wanting to actually coach or develop players. Alena, Dembele, Malcom, Vidal, Semedo have all been horribly mismanaged. Lenglet would’ve been in that list too, if not for the injury to Umtiti. All of the above spend extended periods on the bench, or are hooked at the first sign of trouble.Whilst others like Suarez, Pique, Roberto, Rakitic can repeatedly put in piss poor performances without any sort of repercussion.
He doesn’t rotate the squad effectively, and given the quality he has at his disposal, he has no excuse. Certain players are marginalised, and are given no real continuity, whilst others are run into the ground.
He also has an infuriating habit of playing people out of position. Coutinho made a name for himself as a LWF/LAM - Valverde initially played him on the right, neutralising his skill set. He’s done the same thing with Malcolm - his very limited playing time is always on the left flank - this despite the whole world knowing his game is based around cutting in from the right. Perhaps Malcom, wasn’t his choice - but at least give him an opportunity in the position where he has proved successful.
His subs always seem pre-determined as well. Regardless of who is playing well, it’s invariably the same players who are always subbed off. His in game management is sorely lacking.
Arthur is literally the only shining light under his tenure so far, and how much credit does EV really deserve for that?
I’d seriously love Tuchel, Klopp, Jardim, Sarri (despite his propensity to trust experience over youth), Poch, Naglesmann etc. I’m convinced they’d all have the side playing MUCH better football, whilst maintaining the same level of success.
Valverde has NO cojones whatsoever, and that simply isn’t acceptable when managing a club like Barcelona.

If you can't depose or change the mind of the real "little man" controlling the Barca image.. what use is complaining? Those at fault in the club are content. Key people support him. Only unsatiated fans complain.

Then dont complain your club lost. Why are you blaming players if that cant be changed as well?

Do I complain? Maybe. I'd like to think I observe what is the course of action taken by the institution, whether it's for or against my idea of what a team should do or be. That's not what happens here. Here the idea of how a team performs is somehow born strictly from the middle man between the institution and football - a man who is usually the first to be ousted if he loses his stock in the club.
Point is, who are you really complaining about? That's the question people really aren't consistent on with their answers.
