City is not a top team as far as I'm concerned. Their game plan suits us well. Bring any top EPL side that depends on a playmaker like Ozil or Silva, they will always be tamed by Busquets.

However, an all round team like Villarreal, Sevilla, Atletico who doesn't depend on a playmaker will always expose Busquets' flaws. You saw what Celta did recently.

If you are talking about domination, I'm sorry, it's a past thing. Our game style has changed. It's now our front 3 running the show. You see Messi in the middle trying to influence things when formation shows he should be on the wings. It's because our midfielders are not influencing the game enough.

A Rafinha, Dennis and Gomes are not Barca's Standard and I've said this all along.

TBH, I stand with bykebyke on this issue!
Enrique is making our midfield go down the drain and I don't like it! We are playing so haphazardly!
Against Man city, our midfield was lost! Silva and Co were dominating the midfield!
People might say Pep is too inflexible, but Enrique is too flexible! Flexible to a fault! He is ready to do anything to win and some of the things he does have consequences!
We are a big club, with a history of one of the greatest midfield the world has seen, reducing our midfield to rubbish is unacceptable!



i still want him to stay tho'!

city that you don't rate as a top team ll thrash the likes of sevilla, celta, villareal, with athletico being the only exception. Busquets isn't a problem. Those 3 (Rafinha denis n Gomes) may not be at iniesta's level, but do you expect to see a player like Andres every other year? Our general game domination isn't a thing of the past as you claim, it's just that we don't have a coach that's tactically sound to implement it n mix it with his direct football! Even if we get verrati n coutinho, Lucho I know, won't still get them to dominate

With all this flexibility talk! I imagine we have a mini mourinho as a coach then! Just that Jose is more tactical n parks the bus better

Johnpaul88:
Which coach will you rather we have atm ?

I just hope some of the sentiments being shared here concerning the coach is not shared amongst the board members and the players. Enrique remains the best there is. His pragmatic approach is what we need. Real Madrid will give anything to have someone of his personality manning their dugout. Let's appreciate what we have before we lose it

Johnpaul88:
Mou, hate him or love him, is a practical man. He knows what needs to be done.

Debroslink:


You think City will make top 4 in La liga? Well, that's another discussion entirely.

Every coach has its style of play. Guardiola builded his on Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. Enrique depends on MSN. Both have their flaws, both styles have delivered treble.

If you are looking for a dominant midfield with a direct attack, then I guess you have to perhaps change the coach. However I won't say we should sack Enrique because despite his flaws, his style is still bringing results.

Debroslink:


I don't get you. That we should get Mourinho if the need arises?

10d0ve:
I am not a board member so even if I make suggestions, it's of no use, but I'm almost sure some board members are having doubts too ( we ll have to wait for the next 24 months to confirm tho)

Johnpaul88:
Exactly! He knows what needs to be done to get what he wants. But I pray such desperate situation never arise at the club.

Debroslink:


And what did he achieve last season? Sack letter

How has he made man United better this season?

His style of play can no longer win trophies. It's obsolete.

His style and our club are like oil and water.

This is FC BARCELONA.

Of course some board members would want to see him go. Who wouldn't want some puppet as coach to dance to their selfish whims? Enrique is no such coach.

bykebyke:

Lmao..Can you imagine.

Mourinho at Barca...just because he can do whatever it takes to win/draw.

We are gradually dumping our values.

10d0ve:
city won't make top 4 in the liga? You are starting to sound like EPL fans....This is barcelona, if I wanted a team that can win anyway, I'd have opted for Fergie's united or one of mou's victorious teams of the past

Imagine? ?? I wonder when we fans started thinking in that direction. They are forgetting that even Di matteo won the Champions league with chelsea! As for the league tittle, even Tito won from his sick bed! That's how dominant we've been in the league. I just really blame Tata martino

bykebyke:
Let me categorically state here that I am not expecting much in terms of trophies for us this season.

Debroslink:


Let the City talk slide for now. It's another debate entirely.

Mou has NEVER won the UCL with any EPL side. Fergie won 1 treble in 26 years. I don't want this barren streak in my club.

Barcelona is the most dominant team in La liga since the beginning of the millennium. All thanks to Guardiola's and Enrique's different styles.

10d0ve:
Do you know what gave us that treble? A mixture of both! Even first half of last season with xavi long gone, we were dominating games, so I wonder where all these talk of we can't dominate with these set of midfielders is emanating from...They been there; done that

Johnpaul88:
I'm sure you said this in Enrique first season.

Debroslink:


I'm not talking about domination, I'm talking about influencing the game. Remove Rakitic, our midfielders are not scoring, assisting and creating chances.

All those stats are being provided by our front 3. Rafinha, Dennis and Gomes are not up to our standard.

That's my point.

10d0ve:
so cos united n bayern for example have won just one treble each for their respictive histories, they had barren runs? Lol....all that treble talk sha, Fergie n barren I same sentence His UCL record might not be as impressive as the jose's pep's n carlo's of this world, but do not disrespect him atleast
