Ronald Koeman

He should have went 433 and dared Levante to open up game if Araujo was injured.

Three CBs and full backs isolated only ones ever open in that formation and suited Levante even 2-0 down.

Haha Puig was right to stay. He saw the writing on the wall. This guy sends all the same vibes that Valverde did. Stale clueless possession play, while relying Messidependencia and now adding to that trusting useless amigos players or his personal favorites regardless of their form. Running starting 11 to the ground, while refusing to rotate even, when there's plenty of quality rotation options. But unlike Valverede he also has some genius tactical pans, like putting 5 forwards on the field, when chasing a goal in last remains of the game or subbing 6 defenders to defend a one goal lead against relegation fodder. He did some needed systemic adjustments and change of personnel, but tactically Komean is offensively un-clever. Like a kid playing chess thinking that mowing all figures forward means good attack.
I knew he would be transitional coach, but maybe for two seasons. Now it's clear that this transition is over. Thanks for the Copa, Tintin.

4th season in a row that when the trophy is on the line, the manager benches youngsters and shoehorns in oldies like Roberto and Pique.

Absolute clowns, from EV to Koeward.

Where?s the xG-tard Birdy to tell us we won the game on xG and we should stick with Koeman?
If you are really interested: 1.25-3.04
Should have been 0-4 in the first half if our finishers were not AGAIN wasteful.
And our defenders gave them their only big chance.

But you want me to say I blame Koeman for this. Easy scapegoat.
1) I blame Koeman for playing Pique and Roberto? Yes, because Pique gave one goal to Levante, and Roberto another.
2) Do I blame him for being forced to play the Amigos? NO, the fact that Pique and Roberto are still playing for Barca is not his fault.
3) Do I blame Koeman for this shitty paper mentality this team has? NO, as that is again not his fault

It's amazing that Koeman is always at fault for everything.
It's the president's job to kick the Amigos out of this team once and for all

We're 2008-2016 Arsenal: only good when the pressure is off. These guys probably saw the live table at HT with us on top and shat themselves

Imo it is his job to change the mentality of the team or at least improve it.

Teams time and again targeting Pique and Busquets with runs into the box that they cannot cover.

Busi still decent on ball at times but is a complete and utter liability as a DM.

He and Pique are finished.

The spine of those two and Messi is as bad off the ball as will ever see.
