Luis Enrique

[DinhoR10]

We spent 160mil and you are still talking about Iniesta, Xavi.
No wonder this team shows no progress going forward. Instead of accepting they are past it you find ways to protect them.

Last year everyone was saying Messi was past it at the age of 26, now its Busquets the same age? He's 26!! he's not even in his prime yet.

 

[Barcilliant]

Lol where are all the Lucho supporters?
When he was hired everyone was fawning over him.
He is another Moyes nothing else.
If we exit the Cl and fall further behind in late liga I wonder if the board will have the balls to sack him.

Luis Enrique: "There is no need for self-mutilation of self-flagellation just because we’re four points behind Madrid if they win their game. I can’t see anything negative or that I should be worried about.”

He sounds like Laurent Blanc

He certainly does, probably doesnt like admitting to have comitted a mistake.

 

[Barcaman]

If he can't see anything negative then he's an idiot.
And he can dislike the press, I can understand that, but then use it to unify team and fans and not to spread despair and divisions.

The board is rotten but Lucho is only adding to negativity instead being a positive figure.

Not anyone was overjoyed with his appointment, you can check this thread, there were a lot of doubters just after rumors of his appointment started. More specifically his spell at Roma was questioned.

Or someone who used to support and play for Madrid.

Give the man atleast some credit. If we played like 2011 we would be also doomed . he is changing our system, atleast appreciate that

Look what Xavi says:
"It's hard to repeat the Guardiola era achievements as the other teams are discovering us and study our system, so it's hard to move back to the same enjoyable style,actually its impossible now.

We have to change our style or we will be stuck foreever. Lucho is atleast trying

Trying to do what, exactly? That's the problem. I see nothing changing, except for the lineups, each and every game.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

I don't understand why he changes the lineup EVERY match! He has no idea what he wants to do so he just throws new lineups out there to see what works. When Pep tries new things it's because he has an idea and a plan. Sometimes they backfire but he learns. Lucho is just an idiot who is there only because he has Barcelona history.

 

[ryuken]

You r calling this kind of play changing our style? Our style remains the same with all the side way passing, the only different is that our player is older and some are not even contributing anything to the team anymore. Tbh, the midfield is getting worse with Messi being the main assist man, which tell us how bad our midfield is.

 

[barcanuck]

I don't get what you guys expect. You want Lucho to play tiki taka while scoring one touch goals. You expect everyone to dribble 3 players? We expect to reincarnate Puyol into Bartra and win every duel while yelling at Pique.

Tito played with all our creative guys got 100 points but got whooped by Real in super copa and copa while Bayern humiliated us.

Tata played the same lineup as Tito but managed to shore up the defense where we lost to Real and Atletico by a single goal only.

Lucho is trying to build of Tata who got some team defense and better marking going. He added some bigger men like Mathieu, Raki and Suarez and is trying to surprise teams with different looks instead of the Xavi Busi Iniesta Pedro Messi Ney weaklings. He tried the same old barca tito tata pep spin off vs Real and got blown. Now it's time to change the comfort level of the players.

You did not see the formation change in PSG second leg where we won 3-1?
