What the fuck was this shit. The line-up, the tactics, the non existing substitution and tactical alternatives. Jesus christ, we played better under Tata Martino.

It's true, but at the end of the day, we have to judge him by his results at the end of the season. If he wins La Liga/CL then we need to respect the way he plays, like it or not. Most often than not Barca will dominate teams anyway.

He is allowed to have games in which the team is more reactive, but the main plan is to dominate and attack teams. At least teams like an off form Bilbao.

We won’t win the CL by playing like this, I assure you that.

CL can easily be won playing like this, you seem to forget the time when Italian teams went through entire CL winning 1-0 or at worse ties. CL is not won in October as well btw.

I don't want to write him off but fucking hell.. if this shit continues we MUST go for a manager like Sarri in the summer, yes it would be a risk but I don't want to watch Barca serve this crap up its like a mourinho shitshow. screw promoting from within and ex-players, we need someone with a set plan not these yes men. we also need to sell a ton of dead wood, terminate Arda's damn contract, don't sit there like cucks paying his wages while he does nothing.

we improved defensively but the Barca i love have a footballing identity and this is not it

No we don't... We have a strong legacy of winning in style, not at any cost, and as far as I can see, we are not really dominating teams these days...

That's why I don't buy the whole "bring someone from the house" thing, because you can clearly tell that guys like Luis Enrique and Valverde have no business managing our team... Hell, Valverde played like one season here, but that doesn't make him a good manager for our club...

I remember plenty of games in which we took a safer approach and played on the counter. The problem is that we can't do it too often and we should reserve this tactic only at specific times when it is justifiable. Tonight wasn't. And nor was it very wise to try to keep a shallow lead like a 1-0 for a whole half.

Well I would say we are at the top of table thank to Messi and Umtiti. Remove these two and we will be the same level as Celta Vigo.

Hell, Manchester City play more like Barcelona than Barcelona these days.
