Have you changed your mind about Luis Enrique? Still think he should be replaced?

[te amo barca]

Not enough. He has the best front trio in the world. IMO, his spot depends on how the team does in La Liga or CL. Copa is a nice addition.

Not his fault that Suarez missed 20-30 clear cut chances.

As for the topic: the upcoming month of games will show it all. Man City and Real Madrid.

Haha 20-30 clear cut chances?

You just plucking number out of thin air.

Suarez has also been creating more chances than anyone bar maybe Messi.

Clear that you haven't watched all the matches. I agree that Suarez creates a lot of chances, he's awesome in that. But he had missed so many of them as well, just can't find his scoring boots.

I have watched every match... and Suarez has missed nothing like 20-30 clear cut chances.

You have just made that figure up from thin air.

Bertus jinxed LE big time

Seems so, so sorry

Who could have guessed Barca would lose like that tho...

The team still can't do shit when Messi doesn't score/assist.

Because they're used that everything goes through him, they've been doing for many years and they're lost when he doesn't deliver. It's something natural for Barca these days and won't change as long as Messi is still here. I thought people already dealt with it, because I did.

All the passes go to him automatically even when he doesn't look like doing anything good. It was clear as daylight against Malaga.

This.

That Messi is involved in pretty much every single goal we score, be it him taking on the entire opposition midfield and feeding the ball into the final third, or assisting out of nothing or simply doing the scoring himself, has been obvious for a while now. Even in beautiful "team" moves, it's often Messi doing the most creative part of it. We just don't know how to beat decent defenses when he isn't doing it. It has been my worry for so long now, but as linetty said, I assumed everyone just deals with it by saying "yeah well, we will cross that bridge when we get there (not having Messi)"

Its because they dont know what to do against the bus, they automatically pass to him like figure something out, or sidepass it to Alves/Alba for a cross.

 

[linetty]

Nah, they always do it, but it's most evident when facing a bus.

 

[dakt]

I don't know. When I think he should leave, at the same time I just wonder, who should replace him?

 

[Barcadub]

We need stability, not a manager every year.

How would we become successful?

 

[Empty]

We should keep Lucho on for next season. He's got the players playing well and the team hungry, both individually and collectively. Tactically, we're undergoing a transition and we're still not at the absolute top of our game. There are elements which Lucho has already started working on, and which will improve given some injection of more power into midfield. We can also do with a better right-back, although that position will be difficult to fill.

Give Lucho some time to develop the system he envisions, and I'm confident we'll be the favorites to win most things in the years to come.

You'd think if the fans were against him they wouldn't be chanting his name pretty much every match too.

It's best to stand behind the team and "support" them however. He has done a lot of good, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are. Top of the league, in a good position in the CL & in the Final of the CdR.

Sure there have been hiccups but they've been ironed out; let's hope there's no more slip ups & tactical fk ups.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Depending on the titles I'll be able to decide to be honest. Copa del rey isn't enough when you train such players.
But we progressed a lot and I like the way we've been playing during the last weeks. I start to think that he should stay.
