Has been lucky so far. I'm not complaining but we're still looking like a bits and pieces team. We lack fluency but at least Tito puts his subs on before the 80th minute unlike Pep

Best Liga start Barça has ever had. Still complain.
The joy of BarcaForum.
Obviously things aren't going perfectly at the moment but they don't have to. The season has just started, we won our first CL game, we have an 11 point lead over Madrid and as already said we just equalled the best start to a season. We don't have to be at the top of our game just yet, the season is long

Anxiously waiting for the next match
Man we NEEED a player to stay in the middle and act like a striker of some sorts.. our attack is useless half the time without it. as soon as we put on more attackers and had people in the middle we scored
Hope someone makes a gif again.
Tito equaled Barca best start ever. Who would have predicted this back when we lost Pep.
Forum is celebrating Tito this week

Pep, I miss the shit outta him. But permit me to note one crucial thing I do find that Tito brings that he did not.
Pep was idealistic and fire-spirited to the bone, and that's one of the reasons this team won so much and still plays such heavenly football, because he instilled in them such courage and belief. However, he was stubborn as a rock. The man had a plan and he stuck to it whether it rained or hailed. This is why tough, parked buses seemed at times like this team's Achilles' heel.
Tito, is much more flexible and free-flowing. He's not afraid to make changes, move around players, add strikers, take out defenders- in a nutshell, find a way through, even if it means totally altering any pre-conceived tactical approach. This is key to this team's success in this new era. Why? Thanks to Pep, the whole world knows this team and how ridiculously good we are, and everyone seems to want to halt our play in any way possible, and they get damn creative with it. We must be twice as creative and inventive as them. We cannot be bound by any tactic or strategy, and we must be constantly changing and adjusting. Every situation calls for something different and unique.
More or less, Tito understands this.
If you don't get what I mean, I'll leave you with this.

Is that not because of the injuries though?

Needs to make the defense disciplined again.

I just think back to how many times we'd be depleted or there were depth issues but never such sloppiness...Of course, that could just as easily be a consequence of complacency when you've dominated for as long as they have
Each season the defense seemed to get better under Pep but this year it looks inferior, over all

Vilanova started to play Song as centre back after a long chat with Arsenal coach Wenger at the coaches forum earlier this month. [sport]
I hope Wenger wasn't trolling him...
