Ronald Koeman faces Herculean Task with a “Must Win” Match Against Cadiz Tonight

The jury is still out on the longevity of Ronald Koeman at the Nou Camp as the club’s manager. The Dutchman has been under fire for unconvincing performances in the last three matches, especially with the loss to Bayern Munich and failure to win Granada at home.

The coach has been criticized for his non-Barca style of play, especially the strategy he deployed during the game with Granada. Earlier on during a press conference, the coach had hinted that he will use direct approach. True to his words, he did apply same, and Barca opted to be crossing the ball into the box from outside. It was really easy to figure out what he was doing because his fellow country man, Luuk De Jong was starring alongside Memphis Depay.

The coach is not the problem. When you've built your entire team around a single player for over a decade, difficulties like this are bound to happen when that player leaves. They need to give the coach enough time and resources to rebuild the team.

The problems with a lot of ronaldo fangirls is their lack of analytical skills.
Messi wasn't barca's problem, rather the board's wasteful spending & mismanagement from the sale of Neymar's transfer. Barca replaced Neymar with bums, yet Messi + Suarez were still carrying Barca, then after, Barca sold suarez but only to replace him with another bum. Yet again, Messi singlehandedly carried the burden untill he finally left Barca. Messi is the only sefless player that ensures that his forward teammates contribute a good number of goals for the team.
Neymar & Suarez were always on a double figure because Messi helped them to be a better player on & off the pitch. Last season, Messi was assisting and helping the young Ansu fati with goals, he was on his way to a double figure before he got injured. Messi would always add value to his teammates unlike a certain old fraud that turned Benzema into a bum at realmadrid. At Juventus, he turned Dybala, juve's best player, into a bum. Now at ManUtd, Cavani is gradually turning into a bum.
