Team badly lacks pace, power and height.
Dont need to be the next Stoke but those elements need added.
Becoming a bit of a caricature of a Barca team by focusing everything on technique.
Alaba seems impossible but he would be useful and Emerson needs to be given a chance to develop, Araujo has to be given chance as starter and bring in likes of Wijnaldum.
Look for a more powerful LB as well although no idea who is out there could get in for that.

Not factoring in opponent strength and quality for that to be an accurate statement
Everyone is aware the squad isn?t nearly good enough and chases an outdated style but...
Actually choosing to start Pique Lenglet CB pairing after Pique has been out for months. Playing Busquets ahead of them knowing these 3 in combination are awful against big teams or any team with a bit of pace shows how flawed Koeman is.
It?s like a bad dream happened because I can?t fathom why a manager would start with that 3 who are so accomplished in failure when playing together

Both clubs being in the final last year is as close as it gets to factoring in opponent strength and quality.

The point of tiki taka isn't to make opponents run and get tired but to provide and create overloads by getting the opposing team out of position. You need to be able to move the ball quickly and accurately while also constantly moving; It's also about controlling the tempo of a game as well as having a wide range of passing and the vision to be able to execute those passes.
The issue with the seniors is that they're no longer physically capable of playing at speed for long durations of the game so they prefer to play much slower. This ends up in resulting in nothing but sterile possession for us and an oppurtunity for our opponents to counter.
The other issue is that it requires all the players in the system to be suited to a specific type of system.
Those that think peak barca team wouldn't wipe the floor with every team out there today are clueless about football.

So we ignore the opposition they faced to get there? Or their current form in their own league?

I'm a bit disappointed in him. Not so much with the result, but with the tactics. It looked like some half-arsed sitting back to avoid them countering. Barca was never and never will be a team that can sit back and come away with it. Players are not used to it. He already tried it against Madrid and it didn't work.
He showed way too much respect for PSG and did tactical adjustments that were not necessary. Why not playing with the same tactical approach like in other games? I can live with losing 1-4 with PSG making good counters and scoring from them. I can't live with losing 1-4 through sitting rather deep, giving PSG the ball and let them do what they want. No proactive attacking, no proactive pressing, no trying to control the game in midfield. We've seen against Juve and Madrid that this doesn't work. We've seen it at Anfield way before Koeman's time.

Talking about the ref in a game you lost 4-1 is pointless

Not only that. Kuipers was good. Much better than La Liga referees.
That handball-rule got already adjusted because the rule was pointless.

Fuck it, make this the lineup (for the rest of the season at least):
Mats
Dest-Araujo-Mingueza-Roberto
Puig-Frenkie-Pedri
Dembele-Messi-Griezmann
IDGAF, Alba, Pique, Lenglet and Busquets should never play another game for Barca.
Go all in on the remontada vs Sevilla, that's our only slim shot at getting anything this season.
Come summer, bring some players in. CB, LB, DM, striker, maybe another forward. Try to ship Griezmann.
