Very naive article

Yeah playing to ones strengths doesnt hurt but addressing your weaknesses doesnt either. Especially our weaknesses which have been the same for years and are now being easily exploited by even bottom table teams. You cant tell me to ignore some weaknesses like sideways passing in front of a packed box and the comical way in which we concede some goals should be brushed under the carpet.

Also the teams strengths change over time. Football is not static. You have to evolve with time. Some ppl talk as if Barca has been playing Tiki Taka non stop since its inception. It was possible with a special set of players who have declined. Either evolve or be swept away by the competition. And nobody is talking about abandoning Tiki Taka btw. Just more variation and unpredictabilty

This.

IMO, we need either tiki taka 2.0, or a new style.

Any news where is he going to go? Back to Argentina? I would love to see him manage a big club in Europe.

Tata's comments once again show he has class and decency-

Martino: "Tito's passing was my worst moment as Barça coach. I hope the best moment will be tomorrow..." #fcblive

Martino: "If this team wins the Liga, it'd be their first one as normal people, hard-fought. The others were won by extraterrestrials..."

Martino: "I would like to win the Liga for the players, it has been a very difficult year for them." #fcblive

Sabella is a great coach. Just not the best when it comes to defence and the picking of goalkeeper.

Yeah he is the best for picking Messi,Aguero,Di Maria,Masch and Higuain. My dog can pick the attack and midfield for that team it is the defense and GK that needs a real brain to pick and he failed miserably at it

Sabella is not perfect. But he has managed to fix his defense to a degree. I don't agree with some of his selections, but its his squad, and he has his reasons. Lets leave it at that. He could yet be vindicated. The constant hate and criticism won't serve no purpose. Its getting annoying.

My hopes are that luck magically comes on Argentina side this time and they win the WC. I don't think winning it or not has much to do with Sabella's future. He's most likely a goner. I even read some months ago that AFA already has an agreement with Martino to take over after the WC.

Tata to manage Argentina? Well, then Alves must Get a new passport. Them crosses to messi are essential.

Last 90 tata. Make some good choices for once.
