I think we should contemplate on some things calmly..
It is evident that Tito uses different communicational strategies and approaches than Pep. He is less diplomatic, less neutral, less gentleman sometimes, more blunt when it comes to certain bold facts, more arrogant and protective to the team.
I think he is imitating mourinho in a more regressed way..
This is one thing. What he think inside him and what he tells the players is another. And i am sure he doesnt tell the players that everything is Ok, and we got smashed by Bayern due to fatigue and injuries.. ITs pretty obvious.. And it is also obvious that he wanted badly the 100 points record to prove something.. It was quite deserved with this astonishing first round of 55/57 points..
First season:
Pros -> 1) Better than Pep tactics wise. He made all those correct changes in games that Pep would delay or not intervene at all. The team won games like this with comebacks thanks to Tito's interventions from the bench.. Correct decision on players also. I likes his rotating at least for the first half of the season.
Cons -> 1) Leadership and Psychology. Idk but it seems that the gap btw him and Pep in this skill is abyssmal. The fact that the players are pressing less and become quite lazy and complacent is due to this mainly (and not the observations that the players are not robots. This line is pretty naive to come now, it fits almost every occasion. It could stand also since 09-10, but we saw other things from Pep.) He is not pressuring the players as much as it is needed during trainings, speeches e.t.c. The coach must be also a paternal figure, the players should respect him. He needs to work badly on all that..
2) Of course health issues. The Roura period was a really dark and gloomy interval..
He surely deserves one more full year. No sacking and stuff.. Its not Barca-like, especially to a man that has cancer.
Lets see if he can integrate Neymar, and if he can make the team work more next season.
