This is Ernesto without an attacking player that does everything. He can't coach players for shit. Mediocre manager.

One does simply not play Roberto at RB with Pique at RCB.

Except Ernie.

Today was lesson no. 691 why you shouldn't do that.

Roberto - Pique is just a bad partnership. Roberto is not a good defender and fucks up often causing many fires that need to be put out, typically by the defender next to him. And before you know it slow Pique goes there to save the day, only by the time he gets there, the opponent is already scoring a goal.

Phoned it in perfectly. Knew this game is just another 90 mins extra for Leo, knew that any stretch of the game without Leo would doom them so he let Prince out loose and took the L like a champ.

6:0 in return leg. Easy.

PS Malcom looks a waste, no wonder he gets no game time. Difference between being decent in Ligue 1 and here.

Valverde, a carbon copy of Enrique. Both served by excellent circumstances, namely and respectively, MSN and Messi, Alba.

I think we didn't create any chances besides Malcom's one? It seems the famous "Pep is nothing without Messi" phrase suits Valverde way better as he finds it hard to win games without Messi let alone winning trophies lol.

Edit: And Countinho's chance ( shame he's shit nowadays hope he gets his shit together asap )

We had an excellent run of games without Messi earlier in the season.

Coutinho was decent then. Right now he is terrible.

The next few years are going to be a defining period for our midfield and a little later for our attack post-Messi. We're gonna need someone sharp at the helm. We've already got most of the resources for the midfield now with Arthur, Alena and FDJ sealed but most likely there's gonna have to be some experimentation and tinkering. Not sure if EV is the right person for this.

Maybe he really doesn't value the copa any more and he used today's game as an experiment to see if Semedo can play on the left and gives the likes of Malcom a chance.

Otherwise it is hard to explain why he went with such extreme rotation and player/position selectionstoday.

Ballay lineup lets be honest. Not his fault coutinho is trash. He played in midfield so where's the excuses for coutinho now?

He didn't. He was one of 2 forwards in 4-4-2 diamond. But that said, he has been to careless with the ball today to play in our midfield anyway.

Who did Coutinho came on for FFS (hint: he started on the bench)... Yes we started in a 4-3-3 but switched to 4-4-2 diamond in the 2nd half with Alena as a CAM.

Do you even watch our games?

Lmao don't have much to say to someone who thinks tbat Coutinho was playing striker that game
