First half of the season syndrome again. I prefer it to second half of the season syndrome though.

That US-Tour was a baaad decision.

Exactly. This is going just like last season before the Sociedad loss. People blame everyone from the board to the players and staff but it's hard to understand what's really going wrong.

It has been this way for years now and it is annoying ,we do well so pre-season in Asia/USA .then we do bad so pre-season in Europe . and the cycle continue

The lack of proper planning, about signings to pre seasons, have been going on for a while now.

Pre-season and squad management is all down to the incompetence of the board. Nothing Lucho can do about that to be honest so I won't blame him for the start of the season. Only if this continues after new year I will get worried. Last season's pre-january we played exactly the same: bad but getting the results.
I beg to differ
we were quite goo from October (post-classico and psg losses) to December.. and we were a lot more organised too

From the Celta Vigo loss till Cordoba win (just before Anoeta) : 11 matches, 9 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss // 39 goals scored, 6 goals conceded... opponenents worthy mentioning : Ajax ( 2-0) ; Sevilla (5-1) ; Valencia ( 1-0) ; PSG ( 3-1)
We can only DREAM about these stats in the current situation...

We were good stat wise, but the actual team wasn't playing at Barca caliber either. We were able to get those results simply because of the sheer quality in the squad (Messi, Neymar, Suarez,Iniesta,Xavi on a good day and Bravo who was brilliant the entire last season). The reason we look worse now is cause we have half a squad at this point.

As I said in my original post. Bad but getting the results. Rewatch the actual games and we were pretty mediocre in all of them. The Ajax away game in the CL was the worst Barça I've seen in years.
I don't wanna engage in a useless debate, but as far as I can remember, we played really well against PSG and Sevilla. We suffered in both games against Valencia .
Anyway, I can't compare our current performances with the pre-Anoeta ones... it's not even close...

Yep, Lucho seems to know that titles are usually won late in the season. No team will run with the title in december, so maybe it is wise to slowly get into shape. I remember as well that last season the fans were complaining we were winning the games 1-0, 2-0 late in the game. 1-0 to Villareal late in the game, then 2-0 with Bilbao also towards the end when Neymar came. So it is a similarity. But what worries me is that we concede more. Last season we had problems early on with scoring mostly. Now we have problems all around.
