Quique Setien
- Thread starter FC433
- Start date
The main negative I have is the silly mistakes in the last 10 minutes and lack of focus .. other than that the players did well given that:
1. They are not used to play with this intensity throughout the entire game
2. There is no finisher
3. They are getting used to Setien and he is to them

I think Vidal was a beast, he is clearly better player than Rakitic at the moment, sure he may not have as fluent technique, but he is always a threat to goal and seems to link up really nicely with Messi, not to mention his give it all attitude in both defense and attack. Love him.
Otherwise this game reminded me of Titos + Last year of Peps Barca, that had 80% of possession, but only a few dangerous moments for most of games. Hopefully we can improve from that. Compared to Valverdes average game, we were much higher up, were way more energetic in pressing and in attack, there seemed to be alot more freedom given for players to move around. At times of course it resulted in awkward moments where we had 2 players running to same arena, but this can definitely be improved in training.

How many we had with Valverde normally?

I agree with Roberto being a waste at RCB. Not sure what Setien had in mind there. We were a bit too narrow for huge stretches with almost everything going down the middle.

- team counter pressing and winning multiple balls: check
- fatser buildup and movement: check
- Puig plays his first ever game this season and does great: check
- only one chance conceded: check
- first clean sheet Victory since forever: check
How many boxes should a new manager tick, in less than a week, without his no.9 striker (who participated in our last 12 goals or something) and without our best midfielder (Fdj) for some people to give him a break ? Expecting honest answers. Won't get any.

It was a total bore fest. You can draw some positives but people in here are already calling it the game of the season
Valverde would have been murdered for this kind of shit match and result
