wtf is he talking about. messi didn't win shit on the flank and any time he was in the box dani alves was crossing the ball to juanfran. i thought we evolved past messi on the flank like his some matt jarvis. this man scores goals. put him near the goal.
small club mentality manager coupled with some of the best players ever. can't believe some of you are putting the blame on the players, they are only a reflection of their uninterested manager
get this man out of here. this isn't the club to hire yes men so you don't have to spend (i'm looking at u board)
Hate to say it, but I agree.
Players are only ever as good as the manager who is in charge of them. We desperately need a new manager who wants us to play the old Tika Taka style, rather than try and change things by introducing different shapes, playing 4-4-2, playing direct and crossing the ball at every opportunity.
The critical mistake from yesterdays game was the fact that we started with ineista, fabregas and xavi together. The reason I hate seeing messi on the wing is not because he is less likely to score goals, it is because when he is on the wing, he doesn't really go wide and give the team width, for all intensive purposes he was still playing false nine yesterday, just with an extra midfielder next to him. players like Messi , xavi and iniesta need space, that doesn't exist when we don't have wide players stretching out the defence.
I hope he gets sacked if we play the same formation again.
