I cannot believe we are not like 5-0 up dawg.

Messi and Griezmann should have a few goals each.

Great performance aside from that.

Unusal number of Messi's missed chanced. Griezz shot is a joke.

Aside from that and 2 AF goals I noticed 2 things:

Levante standing high was a call to suicide. Somuch space for Messi's thrue balls.

Barça plays soooo f***g slooooow

Wtf is that? Sometimes I swear I can see on the player face something like, will I move, not taday.

So sloooow

P.S. MAtS saving Barças ass again. This is annoying now.

We’re a bit better than under Valverde, but still frustrating enough to watch that I had to turn it off before the end. No chance at the CL, league will be difficult too with Real Madrid looking better and better.

Do not see really any difference vs how we played under Valverde. Could have been 5-0 with better finishing from Messi and Griez, could have been 2-2 without Ter Stegen. So many sloppy personal mistakes and silly losing possession in dangerous positions.

When you have a midfield of Busquets and Rakitic what else can you expect?

Absolute shite overall, yet again. Struggling to see any Setien effect yet. Defensively, especially, we are a joke. With the way we are playing even the Barca womens team would create some chances.

Did anyone actually worry we weren't gonna win at any point? Even though we had a gazillion chances missed? We played better pretty good. We need better defensive organisation still.
But we have played much much better than under EV.

Can we just leave Valverde out of this and judge the match on its own? What was so good about it? Amateurish performance at best I would say. Missing chance after chance and leaving spaces which luckily were not exploited by Levante.

System of buildup and off the ball movement is miles better than under Ernie. Only retards don't see that. Pressing is also better, at least it's obviously being forced by Setien. Nothing however can offset the fact that half of this team should be playing in MLS by now and wont be able to maintain this style with their slow asses and laughable intensity, especially defensively.

One of those games where the other team looked compeletely toothless (pressing, finishing,...) and we didnt care at all after scoring two goals. I wont draw conclusions from this game.

Tactics were very good. In terms of intensity it's hard work and I don't see how we turn from a super slow team into a fast mobile one in a 2-3 weeks.
