Ronald Koeman

[ryuken]

Busquet played 90 mins, lucky he scraped out a draw, slowly turning into Busquet's bitch

 

[Horatio]

Guys relax. He?s not gonna win us every game. Important is that we win all the points where we are supposed to. We won?t have a perfect run season.

 

[JohnN]

Number 9 is not the problem imo.
We needed better midfield control and play out from the back. Pedro and trincao upset our balance and FDJ had another bad game in the second half.
I don't get why Puig is not tested at all.

I trust him not to be afraid of the amigos Alba Pique Messi and Busquets

 

[Barcaman]

Not making up excuses but Koeman did not get the signings he wanted and he didn't even have any extravagant ones. It was a disappointing display but it's early days.

True. He was never dealt a good hand here. He probably knew the situation coming in, though. It was always going to be a big challenge.

54% possession at Camp Nou?
How long can Koeman survive with such statistics?

I am glad we don't care about that shit anymore. Useless possession is not what this team needs or Barca. We need to get out of this "possession" talk. We need to win games, not the possession percentage!

This getting serious Tats vibes atm

the so called amigos have done their job pretty well in the first three games. what should koemman be afraid of?

yeah koemman might be shit, but in the end people will realize that this is the poorest squad we've had since the pre-ronaldinho era. and we are still chasing 2 mediocre players(garcia, depay) to make up numbers

While the starting roster is not great, I think we have a better bench than last year. At least if Dembele stays. Last year we had no impact coming from the bench. (Dembele out the whole season).

Losing Semedo hurts though(esp. short-term). Hopefully, Dest becomes good.

so we are in agreement that we have players that shouldn't be starters at a club of this level. let's look at the bench then:

alena - mediocre to poor and haven't seen him make an impact as a sub
umtiti - dead
braithwaite - getafe level player, no impact from the bench
dembele - injury waiting to happen and he seems on way out. the only one that could really impact a game, if he was in form
pedri - not barca level yet. too young. came from segunda etc. no impact from bench
trincao - same as pedri. he's just finding his feet at barca
pjanic - can offer something else. only experienced player we have from bench
firpo - can we call him a footballer?
araujo - might be ok, but not sure if he's better then lenglet or vice-versa
dest - only got here. we don't know what he's made of
the other youngsters are just there to make up numbers

we have a shit bench. players that are either always injured, not good enough or too young. and the players that we are still chasing have question marks over their heads for multiple reasons.

on top of that we don't have a consistent goalscorer aside from messi. fati barely started and we don't know his level.

squad building at its finest

What we had last year then? Dead Rakitic/Busi/Vidal/Suarez on their last legs. I rather have kids running around than these oldies with no impact.

running around to have the same results - great logic. you do understand that it's not in anyone's interest for young players to be pushed into the first 11 so that they fail miserably and get sold at a loss?

I start to think that there is a microwave idae of developing inside our brains which make us posting spams here or there.
