So basically Suarez confirmed that Valverde doesn't decide who plays and who doesn't.
Its what i have been saying all along, that the being coach for Barca is one of the easiest coaching jobs around, the players coach themselves, as was also proven when Barca won the league with 100 points basically without a coach that one year.
Pep has proven himself elsewhere, i actually rate him, the rest that came after? Cant tell until they have proven themselves elsewhere.
