He predominantly wasn't at fault, but he did underestimate this match. Playing Sociedad at Anoeta given our history is no time to experiment a Song-Busi midfield pairing which was doomed for failure given their styles. That's an in game change made to shield our backline after we have the lead and are in control. It's not something you try to field against threatening opponents who will take advantage of our lack of attacking initiative and dominate us.
Song just can't play football... The players were walking around, no Tata's fault there
Is anyone on this forum a soci? How does that work? Do they ever talk among eachother?
One would think after this season they would take action.
You people will learn to appreciate and worship the only real club legend in the past 5,6 years.
There was never a Messi or Xavi or Iniesta era, just Pep's era. The guy who was blocked by Messi's inability to convert key penalty kicks from playing the CL finals 3 times in 4 years. Think about that.
The club bowed down for many players in the past years but in reality they should have done it only for Guardiola.
Barca won the league the year after Pep left and made the Semi's of CL.
Did you even see them play last season? Far far from impressive in the league, got trashed in the CL.
And pretty much embarrassed themselves against all the big teams. Guardiola made that team, it was never the same since he left. He was that key force to make that team one of the best in history.
The funny thing is how people weren't really outraged by the fact that the club managed to piss off the most important person in the history of the club. Still aren't, some even throw dirt at Pep.
You won't see a big Barcelona again soon if Pep doesn't decide to come back. Good thing he is still pretty young so there is much time.

I feel that the root of Barca's problems are the fact that the management doesn't have a clear vision for the aftermath of Pep's era yet. At first they just wanted to put Tito in place and ride on the same wave. That all changed and I don't think they have a clear answer yet as to where to go from here. Sandro clearly failed in this regard. I doubt Tata is a long-term plan, since they don't even a plan yet. There a lots of tough decisions that have to be made sooner than later and to find the courage to make these decisions they need to decide on what their goals are. They need to find a new vision, get the right coach that fits their plans and back him up.
This is a drama filled year, I would be grateful if we manage to win any major trophy, and if we don't the disastrous part would not be the fact that we didn't win any trophy, but that we wasted another year, in which we could have made necessary changes for the future.
