Look guise, this is 2007/8 all over again. We have a squad that is not team. A lot of hasbeens that will not budge, because their old farting asses are happy as it is. Older people on this forum probably will relate. When you got at the point, where the youthful maximalism and energy/aggression to support that has withered and more clam pragmatic view of life has settled in, there's no coming back. No manager in the world would make these guys more motivated and fit. That's why Pep purged the old guard despite them still being pretty much in their physical prime. He knew.
Until similar purge doesn't happen at Barca, we're just solid club with no ambition to reach high goals.

Word. For any of that to happen, the board must realize it first. They are still in denial.

I agree. They got everything in life they could wish for. Money, fame, glory, family etc. It's tough to have the same motivation after years of glory.

I want to see early changes if things don't work out. Ballsy changes. Riqui and Ansu should be on top of the list together with Griezmann, hell, throw them all on at once.

 

[mc_lovin]

I dont mind the lineup too much, but if we lose tonight he should be sacked/leave. He has no redeeming qualities - just like Valverde. If he wants to play result football he should be held to that standard.

Agreed. We have players on the bench that have shown to be able to make an impact from the bench.

I swear, if we lose this match without making any substitutions before the 80th minute, I'll lose it.

 

[KingLeo10]

He won't make early subs.

I don't see why anyone trusts this eunuch.

We'll have to somehow fluke a win in spite of him.

 

[Riordon]

Our problem is easy too see. No outlets upfront so we make error after error in buildup because we cant get out. Have to wait for Semedo and Alba to make the run

 

[JamDav1982]

Play 442, tactics to pass ball back to MATS to be the main play maker and no one to run in behind as Suarez is done.

This is the worst tactical approach ever seen from a Barca coach.

 

[vegitot]

Terrible.

 

[JamDav1982]

'Right boys the plan is to play 442 and try and get in behind them...We will use the pace of Vidal, Roberto, Messi and Suarez'

How will we draw them out boss?

'MATS will be the main playmaker and find the space up front.... pass about at back then defer back to him when they close'

 

[MTL_Barca]

He's done. Never expected much so don't really care tbh, there's always the next Valverde to grab.

But god damn i can't watch that team anymore. Always the same shit. No speed, no legs, no mentality, nothing.

 

[Messigician]

LMFAO 7-1 humiliation loading dawgs

 

[JamDav1982]

All his little 442 plan has done has left Barca outnumbered in midfield.

Man light as front two wont defend and Busi, Vidal, etc all done and cant keep up.

 

[Porque]

How many times are we gonna get annihilated playing a 442. It doesnt work in modern football against 3 man midfields.

We never learn.
