Luis Enrique

[BusiTheKing]

So many minutes to players who shouldn't have been anywhere near that team. Munir, Sandro, Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal, Denis Suarez, Andre Gomes, Paco, Digne...

 

[Marshall D Teach]

Underrated.

Underrated.

Didnt the whole "do nothing in away-ties"-trend start with him though?

It started before him. Lucho stopped it for a while. But he couldn't keep these pussies going forever. Sooner or later they were going to revert to their true selves.

That he managed to inject some balls into this team for even a year and a half was a gargantuan achievement in hindsight.

He actually won a CL with Mr. I'm Going to Cry at Halftime at 1-0 Down.

It started with Pep.

Rijkaard had something like 50-60% of away KO wins in his years.
Pep dropped that level to 20% of away KO wins.

And other coaches continued to play with Pep's core and inherited his mental midgets.

So, basically, Barca sucks on away matches since Pep.
Or even since Crujff.
He had 16% of away wins, lol.

Those are awful numbers and should be studied.

Indeed.
The away game syndrome we had has been going for far too long to be blamed on players or certain coach.

 

[Marshall D Teach]

I can see why he was burned out by his third season. Managing these entitled pricks must really take its toll.

 

[Xaviniesta]

need this king back. was lightyears ahead of his time

 

[El MeSSiaS]

He was always right, torna Lucho

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Lucho was a very good coach but with a turtle Busquets, finished Rakitic and donkey Suarez its difficult to play fast football (16/17)

Yes and he didn't get the new players he needed
Shame.

Sarcasm? Gomes and Turan turned out to be duds but he was still a good coach. Turan just gave up and admitted he came to Barca for vacation and less training.

True.

Suarez was still at high level during 2016/2017 season.
