Ernesto Valverde

[Givenchy]

I mean nothing has changed.

The changes are FDJ is in and Griezmann is as well. But even those two won't save the fact we have two dodgy similar CB's, Busi-Rakitic disaster pairing and a pair of Fullbacks who will probably shit themselves again in Roberto and Alba.

Suarez will go back to not being able to hit a barn door and having a coach who is about has involved as an introvert kid in a group project. I want to be wrong but every fucking year the past two years has been the same fucking story.

We somehow get a good patch going only to regress back into the shit show we see on a daily basis. This is why Local Journalists and other Journalists need to wait and see the big picture before proclaiming that everything is fine.

i've made peace with the fact we aren't winning a CL under this buffoon with the idea hes gone come seasons end but the bolded part: lets hope the board don't renew Valverdes contract again during this good patch

Oh I expect them to do that shit and probably give Valverde another 200 Mil to spend.

The only way you're going to change Valverde while he's still at the helm is you have to forcefully sell some of his favorites, I actually expect the likes of Rakitic and Vidal to be the first ones out the door this summer.

As usual EV is a mastermind. All the flaws and luck and individual genius is a deception.. he planned for all that to take place right from the start. Seen it against Atletico and now against Inter.

Perhaps he should play this system in away games in the KO stages. Could be worth trying after his standard "play the same lineup" tactics have gotten the team stripped naked twice.

Perfect. But it should be two fingers, not one

BBZ to come out with his upcoming long essay post on why Valverde is a genius being and twist words out to realize in April/May that's actually a hoax.

IMO we should play 4-4-2 with Messi and Griezmann upfront in CL KO's due to Griezmann's insane workrate. Even if we play this system with Leo and Luis upfront, it won't work, since noone of them does a lot of pressing or defensive work in general.

Suarez is never getting benched so it's a waste of time thinking about setups with him tbh.

At least this match should settle the idiotic belief that Todibo, Alena, Wague, and others aren't playing on Camp Nou vs Mallorca because they aren't good enough.

True. I'm just talking about what we should do, not what Ernie is going to do...

The thing is that with Leo and Luis neither this system today nor the 4-4-2 (proven in recent years) will work, because they simply do too little work defensively between them.

Won't be too long until Bob's here with the stats and long calculations.

I'm sure. Thing is they'll look even more ridiculous after the youngsters have kicked Serie A leaders Inter from CL on their own stadium, in front of 75.000 italians.
