Quique Setien

[Messigician]

He's so bad. So so bad, imagine sacking Valverde for this bum

 

[Messigician]

Like if you're gonna sack a manager do it at the end of the season so you have someone better lined up.

 

[Porque]

I thought he was supposed to be tactical genius? How can someone play chess so well but come up no strategies to improve the game play? We look worse than we looked few months ago.

I think after the Covid-Break Setien is just looking for the shortest route to rome. Fitness levels that he was trying to build up now gone, time to implement tactical changes over. It is just about getting to the end of the season with what the group of players know best and hoping we cling on to LaLiga. Keep the seniors happy, win the league and he keeps his job. Then maybe next season he starts trying to implement his ideals again. This is his master chess move.

CL is a lets see what happens. In a straight knockout we have almost no chance and are going to look like Argentina 2014 who almost lucked their way to the WC.

At least he made the rights subs. On the other hand he picked the wrong team at the start. EV esque

 

[DonAndres]

Really good subs today, surprisingly.

But as I had feared, he is doing for us the equivalent as Star Wars did by replacing JJ Abrams with Rian Johnson. Substituting shit for a different flavor of shit.

I am convinced that our best team right now is like:

Fati-Braithwaite/Suarez-Messi
-----Puig---FDJ----Vidal
Alba-Lenglet-Pique-Semedo
---------Stegen

Neither name brand nor past glory should matter for shit. We need players with energy, drive, a clear idea of the game on the pitch. Offensive gridlock has been the biggest problem under Setien and a lot of the old guard are responsible for it.

Even if a younger team like the one above can make mistakes in a competition like the CL, at least we would die on our shield rather than go out with a soft, tired whimper.

I like your idea! I hope this happens.

More importantly, he made the subs in the right moment as well although that was a no brainer seeing how slow and lethargic the 1st half was

My lineup too. Perhaps Rakitic can have a role too at some games.

 

[te amo barca]

Seti?n: "Ansu and Riqui are increasing the chance of having more minutes. Sometimes there are doubts about the contribution of these lads in important games but the truth is that they're doing very well."

Then fucking do it and start them together vs Celta.

Encouraging. Now follow up with actions. Both start vs Celta. Suarez starts on the bench.

I feel like he's going to troll everyone and start Roberto-Rakitic with Puig and he ends up being the scapegoat and never plays a minute for the rest of the season.

I would love to see this. I think it's worth the risk. Give them a chance!

 

[JohnN]

Setien doesn't have the authority untill now to bench Suarez and griezmann. Let's hope he can do it sometime.

 

[Richard.H]

At this point if he does not give at least 40 mins per match or a starting role to Fati, Puig, and maybe even Brathwaite (who looks 10 times livelier than bully Suarez and pussy Griezmann) then we deserve to lose La Liga.

 

[Horatio]

?Increasing their chance? what?s that? 30% -> 31%?
