I don’t think another Roma will be enough for this board to finally sack Valverde. Unfortunately I think it will take a trophyless season.Losing to Pep is nice and all but we need to get knocked out by a weak team or hammered by Madrid. That'll be the only way to finally get rid of Valverde.
Rakitic for Alena. I guess Alena had his chance.
Just sub carles perez already ffs
Great goal tbh.
Raul Garcia is such an incredible twat.
300m in dembele and griezmann and they cant even get a shot on target. Gr8 business
Spot on ^ this ^I can‘t undestand what‘s going on. It‘s obvious that this team plays whithout tactics whitout selfconfidence and even whitout Charakter. I have never seen such a soulless and uninspired display from our Team in the First Match of a Season. Valverde gives absolutly nothing to them. As a Coach it has to be your purpose to improve every single player in your Squad. In the last 2 years none of them has improved. Its stagnation with Players getting older and older. None of them developing. Just think of Young Players when a coach like Klopp trains a Team for a while. Young Players getting stronger and stronger. We try to compensate the Lack of Development By stupid Transfers. Its so sad. Its like watching our Team copying Real Madrid
What do you think he is to blame for? He played EXACTLY the forum dream lineup. You think another coach with the same players will suddenly do 2 tiers better?
Someone seen Dembélé and Semedo anywhere? Rafinha more dangerous in 5 minutes than "wouldn't trade Neymar for him" 140 mil guy.
Will be one of the most deserving losses I saw under Valverde so far. Not mad at all for losing this one. Fuck Valverde, fuck this board and fuck the players supporting them.

Utter garbage. Zero intensity. Zero movement. No tactical cohesion. Players played out of position (Griezmann). Valverde trying to reinvent the wheel using the same players that have failed to convince time and time again.
Basically "Barça a lo Valverde".
Truly pathetic stuff. This is supposed to be the most expensive squad in the world.
If Malmierda's plan is to play Griezmann on the "left", we might as well loan him out next year for 20€ million to PSG as he won't succeed in such a limited role for him.
Players like Roberto add nothing. I have no clue what coaches see in him. Such a limited midfielder. Rafinha is/was lightyears ahead of him tonight which should tell everything.
Natural and easy to blame Malmierda but as I have been saying for years, the biggest and most obvious culprit is the cancerous board and their complete and utter lack of a sporting project. Criminal that Malmierda lasted for more than 1 season when it is plain obvious that he is the antithesis of Barça and the Cruyff model or whatever is left of it at the club. Which is another grave problem altogether.
That Roma game should have resulted in a contract termination the following summer.
I would like to know a single player that has improved under Malmierda in the past 2 years? Anyone? What exactly is our system? Is it to be the most static, limited and boring team compared to what the club has been spending on players and their salaries and the same players abilities. Granted, many of our players are a shadow of themselves but nobody is going to convince me that an actual manager would not have done significantly better. At least some kind of useful "legacy" of some sort or something as simple as a coherent and recognizable playing style could have been developed.
I don't recall being this apathetic about the team ever.Not even during the dark years under Gaspart (5 seasons without a single trophy) that I recall from my early childhood, felt this badly for some strange reason. The 2 CL humiliations in a row and the fashion in which they occurred are not helping at all either.
Great post, sums it up perfectly and its the sentiment most fans have I think.Utter garbage. Zero intensity. Zero movement. No tactical cohesion. Players played out of position (Griezmann). Valverde trying to reinvent the wheel using the same players that have failed to convince time and time again.

Dembele , Griezman and Coutinho will go down in history as the biggest waste of cash in world football.
No complaints with his performance but how the hell is he a starter at this point?
