Luis Enrique: "No voy a cambiar por un resultado negativo, por dos o por 10. Yo voy a seguir a la mía siempre." - "I won't change anything because of a bad result, or 2 or 10. I'll keep on following my ideas."

Great. Ballague also talked some bad things about Enrique today, but it's ballague: "Not giving the right message,not looking after details,not preparing games well, not talking to players".

Do you think that Lucho would be prepared to change our formation to a 3-4-3 or af 4-2-3-1? I really can't read the guy. Right now i think he will just stick with the 4-3-3, but that's only based on his press conferences etc.

Well I hope so, because the El clasico was not an example of a coach trying to follow his Ideas, no matter the circumstances.

Luis Enrique: "Barça has received many awards for the way of playing. I don't think we should change that"

He already did change the way of playing, putting the midfielders so wide... I don't understand him.


Same here. It really is a case of being a bad communicator or simply being ignorant. Because Lucho's style is not the same as the one that "we received many awards" with. I think that much is obvious.

Don't understand his quote of "following my ideas" either. Didn't he abandon his ideas in Clasico when he played Xavi instead of Rakitic?

Odd.

It's worrying. He's being completely contradictory with what he says, and what he does. I don't think he's dealing well with the pressure. I also don't think his ideas are as clear as he keep saying they are.

Remember how close Rijkaard came to the axe. Gotta have a bit more patience

True.
Some managers start badly, but they do turn things around later.

On the other hand, some managers start badly, and they end as a disaster, and later you ask yourself: "Why haven't we sacked him earlier?"

Anyway, Lucho's answers don't offer to much optimism:

Luis Enrique: "No voy a cambiar por un resultado negativo, por dos o por 10. Yo voy a seguir a la mía siempre." - "I won't change anything because of a bad result, or 2 or 10. I'll keep on following my ideas."

If his tactics were awesome, and only the results were unlucky, it would make sense to be stubborn.
But our tactics are horrible and the results are already starting to suffer.

Also, if we go a few weeks back, and if our opponents hand't hit 7-8 posts against Bravo in early rounds, we would be exposed even much earlier.

Lucho was pretty meh at Celta during the first half of last season, but Celta were one of the best sides in La Liga (among sides not named Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, or FC Barcelona) in the second half of the season. So we might see something similar.

If he is really gonna stick to whatever he is doing and the way he is doing it then he is gonna lose the dressing room very soon.

You need more than one good half of season to win the league .

Now guys, take a look on the way that Real Madrid plays (vs. Liverpool right now). 2 central midfielders (Kroos and Modric), which IMO makes them a lot stronger defensively. That could be Rackitic and Busquets/Rackitic with Iniesta a bit further up the pitch - in a 'number 10 role' alongside Messi when attacking.

But no, let's stick with Rackitic babysitting Alves.
