Thanks God, Neymar did not arrive to Barcelona. Now, we have to deal with our own problems. We have three (3) useless veterans, who have to sit on the bench for the most part of this season and just come in as a subs, when it is needed. I am sure, you all know who are this three, but will call them, just to make sure we are on the same page. The biggest problem is Luis Suarez. This will be his last season with Barca, so Valverde should make a room at the end of the bench for him and try to install in the system youngsters like Fati and C.Perez. I hate to watch this guy anymore. He is not even close to the Suarez I used to like. Scoring 20-25 goals per season and missing about 80-100 very clean chances won't help this team. So he need to sit on the bench and get in action when we are 4:0 or 5:1 ahead with 15 minutes left. Nothing more to say about this garbage.
The other two players that has to follow him to the bench are Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets. They both are very slow, has lost their conditioning and the ability to take the right decision at critical moments. With Busquets, there is no need of explanation even, because we have so many younger and better than him midfielders, who need to get more playing time. The situation with Pique is a little bit different. He is taking advantage of our incompetent coach, who is heavily relying on veterans. He spends more time in the opponents penalty area than our own.If you are a central defender, you have to stay at your post and area. Barcelona has enough talented forwards to score. We don't need to see this jerk among them. Alba is doing the same things on every single game, but at least, he is getting back to his post quickly. By the time Pique gets back, one can finish his cigarette. Any self-respecting coach will bench this kind of player, till he understand where his place on the field is. Unfortunately, Valverde won't do it and that is why, he will get axed before New Year.
