Luis Enrique

[TornAndFrayed]

Yup. Let's see how the squad elements that he brought along do in the future though. That will be a big part of his legacy too.

 

[BarçaBarça]

He doesn't get a new right-back, says Sport, so he has to play with Roberto and maybe Palencia, although it possibly doesn't enhance Palencias chances..

He will probably stick at 3 at the back and keep the Diamond Midfield.

Alba and Digne will probably be used more as LCB's or even be stuck in the LCM spot in the Diamond.

Yes, and it's good that he tries to experiment a little with the midfield, although it is not a magic-solution..

 

[Barcaman]

If only he wasn't being so stubborn and tried something different earlier. Took him a year since we started to deteriorate.

Playing with 9 players is the formula then.

Should've spent those hours analysing PSG prior to Parc de Princes game !

As a Spaniard I'd love for Barcelona to knock the sh*t out of PSG at Camp Nou. But oh boy, look at that positiong map and passing network. What is LE doing. It's some hybrid 3-4-3 where one of the three centrebacks actually is a left fullback who bombs up the flank leaving Umtiti to cover all over the place, as evident by his right and left arrows. Upfront there's just confusion. Is this a diamond midfield with Messi on the top of the diamond? Essentially a 3-1-2-1-2 if you will. But then Neymar is fixed on the left wing. So we have Messi on the top of the diamond, playing behind Suarez but Neymar is still playing the usual '4-3-3' style role of left attacker. Leaving a hole on the right. Perhaps Rafinha was supposed to be the right attacker? But then why is his positioning so off. So hybrid back three and hybrid front three. And then the midfield. You could land a jumbo-jet in that hole.

I enjoyed the Celta game but Unai is going to see this and smile, I'm sure. BTW forget about Sampaoli, Unai is the one you should be going for

Explains..... The 2 right mid fielders (primarily Sergi Roberto) taking turns to protect right probably? And Leo/Suarez (primarily Leo) ditto the mid field?

Rafinha and Bob are like a pair of rb+rcm+rw, protecting the right side, and rafinha attacking the rw. And this diagram is the best one in a long time. More balanced.

lol @ those 'before and after' pics by marca. amplifying the contrast will make any wrinkles stand out more. and using completely different expressions--yes, ANYONE will look a tad older if they are frowning as opposed to smiling.

huge fail

Emery is an awful manager. Couldn't even handle Denis and Deulofeu
