Put the global pandemic and the Beirut explosion on the list of his sins while you're at it.

Covid broke out of China just around the times you sacked Valverde, coincidence? I think not.
EV was keeping the entire world in balance.

You're welcome
That's the argument some of us were making back during his tenure to defend him.

I really can't quite get why having 30 yo Messi, Suarez, Busi, younger Rakitic and a veteran Iniesta (age of current Messi) isn't better than having 33 yo Messi and Busquets on his last legs. It seems quite streight forward. We had a better squad 3 years ago. Ev did a good job in his first season even though our football started to decline rapidly afterwards. He did a pretty meh job the next season and a terrible one after liverpool where everyone was disheartened.
Rakitic was crucified because he was playing 100% of games and complained when he didn't even though his legs couldn't carry him due to burnout and decline.
There does not need to be a correlation between not liking EV, Rakitic and liking Arthur and Puig.

I don't know if Valverde had much to do with these players being there, but I think with players like Vidal, Rakitic, Semedo, Coutinho, Suarez (to a degree) it's hard to play really well.
Valverde was one of the best managers recently, even if he never was a Barcelona manager. He made the most of the mess that was the squad at that time.

I was quite adamant against him, even if i joined the forum later than when he was fired, i know that in january 2020 when he was fired i was happy.Didn't knew we would appoint 3d chess master Setien and also didn't predict a pandemic.I kinda miss Valverde and his 4-4-2 and Andre Gomes as a winger.At least the only masks we wore back then came from the toxicity of his football.

Valverde actually gave us hope in the first leg with the best Home record in UCL history.
These bums cant even do that
