Gerardo "Tata" Martino

[Chainsaw]

I do not find Tata the main problem here. You guys might want a perfect coach in him but he's not. And honestly neither was Pep. The team needed reinforcements for years and the board hesitated to strengthen the weak links. Now we've reached to a point that we do not even have one reliable CB and playing with a 38 years old GK and yet we're expecting that all be safe and sound here. Tonight's performance is a collective failure, from the coach to the great Messi. Fucking Luis Enrique was not going to be the solution here.

Tata: “We weren’t looking for lots of participation from Messi.”

WTF!?! He legit just said that.

Yeah, hopefully that's a wrong translation or something, because if not, then I don't know what to say .

And why exactly are you so against Luis Enrique?

Luis Enrique has done nothing to prove he deserves the Barca job.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Like Pep?

 

[Irish_Cules]

I know he wasnt playing well but why he took off Iniesta baffles me.

 

[JamDav1982]

Like Pep?

I am sorry but that is not how it works.

Pep is the exception to the rule and does not prove that all untested managers will be a success.

Luis Enrique has not done anything at Roma or Celta to suggest he deserves the Barca job.

After his press conference, I hope even more that he leaves now.

We do not need a Vilanova II or a Martino II.... it is time to change.

 

[Stric]

Details?

I think it's safe to say that he'll be sacked if we don't win La Liga and the CdR.

Pep had a nice season with Barca B in Segunda!

 

[instinct]

The question is wether the players or the coach are responsible for the lack of ambition. Just look at Dortmund yesterday. They played with Kirch, Durm and Friedrich and without so many players and showed a sensational performance. And they were already 3 goals behind. Our team did not even try to do something. Tata recently said that there is no need for him to motivate the players because they do it theirselves. But coaches like Klopp and Simeone bring the right attitude and the right mentality which we lacked in many games.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

But he does know Barca. Was the club captain for many years and was a legend. He knows how the club works and how to get the best out of the way we were made to play.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Pep had a nice season with Barca B in Segunda!

Lol! Exactly!

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

We do not need a Vilanova II or a Martino II.... it is time to change.

How are they the same?

 

[Barcaman]

+ he's an Iron man.
Remember he used to compete in that endurance cup?
He's the kind of guy to bring back the work ethic of pep's days.
