Ernesto Valverde - V1

you are not giving credit where it's due. he has won the liga back to back against a Madrid team that win 3 cl in a row and a strong Atletico. Madrid were liga and cl champions when he arrived and favourites to win again.

if it's all because of the players then why didn't those same players (plus Neymar) win the season before he arrived?

what do you put Barca's improved defence down to?

Our defense is very shaky and it is apparrent from the last month in many matches including against Manu. You can see at goals conceeded or something and think we are great but nah. Thanks to pique we are somewhat a unit.

I have already talked about the competition. This season there should not be a debate even and last year RM won the CL but they were horrible from the very first game in la liga and everyone and their dog knows that

Neymessi still not retaliating though... lol

Lol. I changed my mind later on.

you called devils a retard in a highly condescending manner

No. I mean, yes, but no. I didn't realize he was trolling and if you look back at those posts they do seem horribly juvenile and infuriating. Also that happened later on and my original post to which devils started trolling on, which origami thinks he did because if was offensive or whatever, was a very civil post.

The thing is, next Barca coach, whenever Valverde leaves, will need to be a strong minded one and able to do a cleanup at our club. Some players currently have more authority in the squad than the coach and that shouldn't be the case. It has been proven today.

I seriously hope our board realises that. The more we wait, the worse the post-Messi era will be.

I honestly expected myself to catch a break before the Liverpool match and did not want to criticize him.

But the man outperforms himself and starts the best lineup bar Messi 1 match prior the biggest game of the season yet :lol:

I sometimes feel he does it just to anger this forum. Like how fucking dense can you be? What is the point of this massive fucking lead if you are such a pathetic coward that you can't rest anyone and just go for a strong lineup all the time? Also, it's funny how some here are making excuses like always. "Match rhytm" "It's just levante" and I am not going to dissect any of those arguments as they are so elementary.

The man hasn't learned shit from Roma. This was the exact same reason why we fucked up last year and the moron hasn't learnt. It's so sad that winning the double will have its own disadvantages because losing to liverpool just won't get him sacked now. Fuck this guy, and some people think we are here because of him when he keeps making these horrid and clueless decisions

Another feather in the hat for our tactical genius, he is now the most dominant manager in la liga history over 2 seasons, no other manager in the league history has been even close to Valverdes feat of leading the league for 70 out of 76 rounds, that is 92%, Guardiola by comparison led the league in 58 of 76 rounds in his best 2 seasons, a measly 76%, even beaten by Rijkaard with 60 out of 76 in 2004-05 and 2005-06. The cruyffistas are beating themself to a bloody pulp right now, the one and only Diego Simeone just overtook their house god in la liga wins with less games played LOL. Oh the irony, today is a baad day for a cuyffista, reeeeealy bad.

I think it is time to rename him to mister 90%er, as he has a 96% score in games not lost in the league and a 92% score in games leading the league. This guy is just incredible :worthy:

They brought the Liga trophy, singers to celebrate and a presenter who came from the 70s via time machine for this event. Don't want to upset those singers by not winning the league tonight.

Please come back after the cl ties with Liverpool are over. Let's see if you're blowing his trumpet after we get owned.

I don't understand how this guy keeps winning. He is incredible.

It's not necessary to play fluid football to grind results though. We don't need to look any further than Mourinho. Valverde is not completely clueless, he wouldn't be getting results if he were. He has a certain system that has been for the most part successful results wise. The issue is that over the last decade we have become synonymous with playing attractive football and as fans, we have become accustomed to a certain quality of play. In fact, that very same quality of play is what drew in a large number of people to this club in the first place (not all but definitely a sizeable fraction). So just winning is not enough. It's not an easy job being the manager for this club so I can sympathize with him a little. Unfortunately for him, our recent dominance with Xavi, Messi, and Iniesta it still relatively fresh and this throws in sharp relief the pedestrian nature of Valverde's playstyle. Ultimately, if we win the CL this year it's still a great achievement by him, albeit not as good as Mourinho with Inter who didn't have Messi.

I want him out even if we win treble. GOD we're hard to watch. We were abysmal . Not only this game or the previous one. The whole fucking season. By far the least exciting Barca I've ever watched play.

I want him out too but we were not bad in this game. We definitely played very well. Even Coutinho was good! Having that said, if we can't handle Levante's pressure, God only help us against Liverpool :facepalm:

This fraud should be giving half of his salary to Messi.
That's not the most popular opinion around here but i'm calling it as i see it.

Let's just say that Messi has been decisive for every barca coach in the last 10 years. Nothing new.
Let's say that it is infinitely more tragic that the 300mio boys Coutinho and Demebele couldn't solve the game vs Levante at home, but we had to wait for Messi's entry on the pitch in the 2nd half.

CHAMPIONS !!!!!!:barcascarf::barcaflag:

This boss rested Messi in close to half of the league minutes in April. He will be rested and fired up for the last CL-games, great managing!
