Valverde is not positive enough in the high pressure moments and this is not going to change next season. I really fear for next season if the clique stay intact which looks to be the case. It is impossible to change this trait as it is his personality and he will always fall back on this instincts.
Because they will put it down to one blip in Anfield as we had a few key players missing like Dembele (ignoring that Liverpool missed way more of their first team squad) and the Valencia loss being a hangover of Anfield and missing even more key players like Suarez.
Big Mistake. I suspect if they did have meetings with managerial candidates (Bob, Koeman) that they wanted to sell a few of the clique while Valverde prefers status quo and less impactful changes such as a Willian profile for his beloved 442, a Suarez backup not to upset MesSuarez and a CB that would not take minutes off of Pique but Umtiti and Lenglet while giving more reliable RCB depth than Murillo or Todibo.
