Gerardo "Tata" Martino

[Djab]

yep thank god we took off neymar when we did, evened out the odds a bit.

He gave an assist to Messi's first.

some people just see the result

Do you think RM is Osasuna?! It was to be expected that it would be a very tough match, the defence was a bit shaky but we were better imo

he started the wrong team which is why we played so shit in the first half.

did you see the tackle pedro made when he came on. one of pedro/sanchez has to start, their tracking back is critical to the teams success.

thank god we have geniuses like messi and iniesta in our team.

at first I thought it was tactics but really all he does he pick his best players for the bigger games.

The ball come from a deflection

Neymar was fine, been fouled two times in the box, got us a pen and a red card for Madrid. Played OK and I see him as a key man in the next clasicos.

 

[Cule4life]

He doesnt have guts to bench Neymar. I dont want him here if he doesnt man up and assert his authority. After Tito i cant bear another manager pandering to the "big names"

 

[Stric]

I really like Tata in general, and I'd want him to stay, but as cule4life said, I want him to begin with critical thinking, instead of doing the default.

Mascherano and Neymar had no business starting tonight at all. Neymar is in poor form, Mascherano is not a quality CB. Not for games like this one. Alves had no business starting the second half. That's what you do when players are having a bad game. You sub them out. They're liabilities.

I don't think playing Bartra was going to be any better. I mean sure he's a proper CB, taller and a better header but he's still green and play a bit soft for a CB. The problem is the lack of depth in middle of defence that leave the coach with very few options to choose from, and none of them are very reliable for such matches.

 

[Kerrybai]

He's gotta play our guys based on form. Pedro should have started today, he was great last week.

It's all cool... We've a mid week game

If Bartra had gotten more playing time, he could have had enough confidence to play at RB today as Alves was a ghost today

beat madrid and city twice. Still no credit to him...Some fans have no respect.

I hope Tata starts Bartra for the copa del rey final its not about winning or losing, we need to give him playing time to become a proper starter here masch can only be a bandage for so long.

A final is about winning or losing. Bartra will only start if one of Pique or Masch can't play.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Tactically he's one of the best. I really like him honestly, hope that he'll stay next season.
