Luis Enrique

[Andrew M]

It looks like he'll survive the winter despite the disappointing performances so mind as well hope for the best.

Lucho reminds me a bit of van Gaal at Barca with his rigid tactics and his clumsy/defiant media handling. Yet to see good football on a regular basis but I am still hopeful.
La Liga is far from over and Barca still has everything in their hands.

If we can beat PSG at home I think that maybe people will start to believe in him

 

[Barcaman]

Definitely. Mood swings quickly in football.

Luis Enrique: "we played a good match today" is this guy on crack? as i said before lucho needs to leave with this board.

 

[KingMessi]

I missed the match. How did we play? I saw the result--a bit too close for comfort.

We were pretty meh, didn't create too many chances and our midfield was poor (played Mascherano-Busquets-Xavi) but our defense was solid and Bravo played well. Cha twas going into full meltdown mode, as usual, but it wasn't that bad.

Pretty much this, although I think it was really stupid by Lucho to for some strange reason experiment in yet another important game, but got bailed out in the end by Messi and Busi.

The front 3 didn't get many chances or even many touches on the ball, Messi had one shot in the entire match which came in the 80th minute and it was not really because Messi was horrible, but because the midfield was a complete mess and we struggled bringing the ball forward.

Suarez had one big chance which he should have scored on, but shot straight at Diego Alves and got one goal ruled out incorrectly for offside. Valencia had 3-4 decent-great chances, but Bravo was fantastic in goal and made two massive saves. MOTM IMO.

 

[KingMessi]

Thanks!

 

[Barcilliant]

Must be the luckiest coach in the world! He said he wants Barca to be unpredictable but. This took it to a whole new level.

If we beat PSG (and I believe we can) it will probably be because of the genius of one of our players like today's game not because Lucho finally got the tactics right and started a set XI.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

which player showed genius at the Mestalla ?

Messi. His cross was great and lead to the goal. Good reaction from Busquets.

 

[SeloBarca]

Nope. I think the guy lives and dies by the rotation. He would probably rotate the team even if we play a CL or Copa Del Rey final. Doesn't give two fuks about what's logical. Just goes by his own ways.

Enrique would make a very poor Vulcan

Another season with no trophies

Sooner or later these idiotic rotations will backfire and boy it will be hilarious. I just hope it won't be Bayern again.

Matches there everything is messed up are piling up for Lucho - PSG, RM, APOEL (Mats saves from embarrassing draw), Malaga (no shot's on target), Celta, Almeria and now Valencia, there will be more.
