Well his start has been awesome. He's hit the right buttons at the right time. Can't wait to see how he does in the big games :)

After the Celtic game, I've noticed a slight change in tactics from Tito. Both the Spartak and Levante game, we've played a much more direct and vertical approach - we get in scoring positions much faster and try to finish on the first best chance. I'm really excited about this :)

I'm not so sure that's a reflection of a change in Barça, more a reflection of the different opponents, and what happens when Barça scores the first goal. It's easier to penetrate more- when you can penetrate more. ;)

How often was Piqué playing in the final third last night?...It was wonderful and very nearly came close to scoring when played through with a ball just ahead of him that would've seen him 1v1 with the keeper

that was a usual barca corner, taken short, puyi already went back to his position while pique stayed up front, nothin strange really.

Could Tito be better than Pep? I know it's very early to say and he is basically doing exactly what Pep did.

However he is getting more out of Iniesta up front than Pep ever could.
He has had the best start to a La Liga season in history.
Finally he's not driving us insane by playing 3-4-3.

Probably too early to tell yet. Statistically, we are doing better in most categories.
Few negative points: We did lose that Supercopa, and then didn't beat Madrid in El Clasico (weren't even that better than them, if it all).
Then it took Tito only 2 months to mark our only 2nd away defeat in Champions League since 2008. We're are letting in too many goals and sometimes escaping with wins (like yesterday).

He is having a lot of luck with some wins. The defense still need to be sort out. And with Puyol having already another problem, even if a minor one, I wish Tito would go for a cb on january, instead of playing Song there.

Definitely...We've been more fortunate in some of our matches where last season that luck was not to be found...Song is not a good option at CB, would love to see the club land a solid CB in the winter window
