Ronald Koeman

[Birdy]

I don't get him, he completely shuts down the likes of Puig & Pjanic, but still put trust and faith in Umtiti? wtf?

Guys stop perpetuating this dump argument...

Perdi Busi Frenkie and Ilaix can do all that Puig and Pjanic can, and 100 more different things..

Not comparable to Umtiti's case, where you need a LCB and the only 2 options are Lenglet and Umtiti.
You take one and worry that he might prove worse than the other

Today was a really bad bottlejob sorry.

 

[clemente]

We are losing games with a Mats - Roberto - Pique - Busquets - Umtiti - Alba backline

What fucking year is this

 

[henias]

It's funny how some ppl wants him despite extremely questionable decisions from him. Yea we could win La Liga maybe and won a useless Copa, but management screams nothing less of abomination. Threw out Puig for no frking reason at all. Slow in reading the game. A few tiki take here and there and people are satisfied. Truth is he still licks Busquets boots to keep his job.

If the game goes its way it looks good on him obviously. But mf gets exposed when shit hits the fan, especially when its a tough game.

Umtiti and Roberto in the lineup is very hard to defend.

Both are not even professional footballers.

Playing defensively has only worked for one coach in barca history and that was EV. No other coach has any business playing that way with this team. We are a side known to defend by attacking. We have to score goals, there's no other way.

 

[serghei]

especially puig could give us energy and power

Puig is a lost cause. Even the ones that don't rate Puig very highly have to admit that technically and passing-wise, he's the only one that can provide Pedri's role. But this moron rested Pedri, and replaced him with a totally different player.

Mind-blowing. Pjanic is washed up, but he can still create and provide a through ball. He was a fucking starter for Juventus last season. Umtiti last resembled a real player 3 years ago lol.

I can get it if he is even consistent.
You don't trust certain players and will shut them down? ok, then you should have Umtiti at top of the list.
You will put faith in your players? then use Puig and Pjanic to rotate and rest your players.

But this double standards, that favours our worst players by far, who is playing a position that requires no mistakes? He should have known better.

 

[Windhook]

The problem is not just Umtiti. He had faith in a lot of poor players today - Roberto, Umtiti, Ilaix and was late to react with the subs.

 

[Messigician]

He's turning into Setien V2 tbh.

I have some bad news for you, friend.

Let me tell you a tale from 2018 and 2019...of a warm night in Rome and Liverpool.

true koeman is so stupid i cant believe it

 

[raedkuwait]

Our line up would have been exactly the same as last year, if the injuries didn't force him to start few of the youngsters.

Let me rephrase. "partially worked"

 

[serghei]
