He was a madman on the sidelines today. At least passion is there.
Really? Spoken by a person who was projecting doom and gloom before the game. the good tactician stood there, saw what was happening, went to dressing room with a plan and had this team run riot on the second half. We could have easily scored 3 on the second half. The game is played 90 minutes and Barca was the better team today for sure

I don't know what to think...first half all the same mistakes...I "argued" with DonAndres in chatbox that they do run but tacticaly they play bad, lines were again streched, they pressed individually and so on. But then came second half and I couldn't belive my eyes, they were close, they even used high pressing, Neymar didn't have a good game but he was running back, pressing, suarez as well...our mids were now helped and not overrun, defence was closing everything...and, yeah, there was a guy named Messi!
Now I wonder what happened, were they angry at half time? Anyway it's nice to see when we turn that beast mode we can trash everyone, of course we can't play like that ever 3 days but the beauty is we don't need to: we can beat 90% opponents in 3rd gear, but I want more of this second half against big teams!

Lucho said he got Roberto to midfield in 2nd half and that chsnged the game.

Maybe this is the right place to criticise us. Obviously its not a state of emergency right now but its clear as day we our far from our usual selves. Not just Neymar or Suare, so many of our players have been subpar and for some time now. Time to gear up the levels second half and the most important part isn't far away.

I don't think our problems are on our players or their forms (or at least not the biggest culprit), I am reluctant to blame Luis Enrique but the lack of consistency between the halves and my personal perception that tactically we have been a mess since the beginning of the season probably point the fingers to him. Again, some of our problems are so glaring I don't believe that he and his staff don't see them, however we don't see any changes, adjustments and improvements being made as a whole.
In a nutshell we are simply too top-heavy and rely too much on the forms of MSN and, luck.

I think this is good news for both Lucho and Barça. The feeling so far from this season is that we could use a new tactician, someone like Sampaoli(?). Of course season is still kinda new and we really are suffering from injuries and bad form but it's good to hear Lucho himself also understand that this season is crucial in terms of him being IN or OUT.

I don't know where to post this, so I'll try here.
An article from sport regarding our 6 expensive signings from this summer: (Google translate):
"After more than one hundred million investment, only two players have serious options to be headlines (Umtiti and Denis)
FC Barcelona bet strong in this market last summer. The objective of the technical secretariat and of Luis Enrique was to improve the performance of the staff and to sign a real wardrobe fund to face all the competitions with the maximum guarantees.
The investment exceeded 100 million euros with the acquisition of important players like Paco Alcacer cache or André Gomes. After passing the first quarter of the season, some signings have surprised, others are almost unpublished and some are costing them too much adaptation although they do not look like they can fight for the title.
Only two approved with note, Samuel Umtiti and Denis Suarez, two players who may have a long run in the future of Barca team.
CILLESSEN (4)
Jasper Cillessen arrived at FC Barcelona with the sole mission of being understudy Ter Stegen and its role has not changed nor will vary in the future. Barca invested over 10 million euros in a goalkeeper who has only played a league match due to injury and was German keeper. Curiously, the Dutch goal conceded two goals in the painful defeat against Alaves. In principle role will have a testimonial unless unexpected casualties Ter Stegen and will be the goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey.
DIGNE (5)
The left - back has had more prominence than expected because of the injury Jordi Alba , which has led him to be a starter in big games like Manchester City. The Frenchman is fulfilling without even though his benefits, for now, do not improve to those of the Spanish international. Fair on defense and weak in attack. He is young and able to improve, but other players like Portuguese Guerreiro would have given better performance at a lower price. He has played 7 league games and 554 minutes and 2 Champions League games with 170 minutes.
UMTITI (8)
Samuel Umtiti is the big surprise of the season . Barça had spent a lot of time and money spent searching for a guarantee center and it seems that, in the end, the club has found the ideal footballer. Umtiti has not been easy since he has been injured and has been seen as the leader of the defense by the absence of Pique and Mathieu becoming the head of the defense despite being a newcomer. He has personality, is fast, handles the ball well and his physique is imposing. It seems that Barça will have central for a while thanks to the technical success. 6 League games (521 minutes), 3 Champions League games (270 minutes).
DENIS SUÁREZ
It was the most controlled signing of all. Formed already in the Barça, the Galician soccer player returned with the experience enough to triumph in the Camp Nou. It has a total Barça style and an indisputable technical quality. It has cost him nothing to adapt even though he has too much competition in his position. It is a safe bet for the future if Luis Enrique continues to rely on him. In Sevilla played a great game and showed that he is to fight for the title. 10 league games (459 minutes).
ANDRÉ GOMES (5)
The Portuguese was one of the obsessions of Luis Enrique, in love with his game since he came to Valencia. No one doubts their quality, but André is used to playing as a double pivot position at the club does not exist. André Gomes does not feel comfortable as interior and the position Busquets comes something big. You must adapt his game to the characteristics of the Barca team with fewer lines and more touch. It has potential, but everything will depend on its ability to adapt. 7 league games (345 minutes) and 3 Champions League games (176 minutes).
PACO ALCÁCER (4)
Barca risked a lot during the summer saying publicly that one of his priority transfers was the front quarter. The technical secretariat put a lot of pressure and finally chose to incorporate a player already contrasted in the Spanish market leaving aside other bets from abroad. A '9' could fall quickly signed bands. Paco Alcacer knew it was coming . With those from top to top I would play very little and that is what is happening. The lack of competitive rhythm makes you play too hasty. He is a good player, but he will have very few minutes and his price was very high. 7 league games (269 minutes). 1 of Champions (54 minutes).
