He's adding to the numerous problems of the club. For me that's not what you do to things you love. I fear he wants out but I'm certain Barca won't sell him.

He might as well want out; he's human. But Luis Enrique is the cause of all this ish and you seem not to be seeing it. No cule wants Messi to leave but believe me life will continue if he does

There's nothing special about lucho

Hmmmn the kinda stuffs I read online sometimes ehn…i just thank my stars it's just someone else's opinion


Interesting scenes at the calderon though

Johnpaul88:
But Neymar came to training the next morning while Messi stayed away feigning some non existent sickness

So Messi is the bad guy now huh?

At. Madtis teaching real madtid how to play adult footie

Hey honeric01, are you sure your beloved lucho can do the job against this atleti?

This ragamuffin simeone and his boys beat real again. Hmmmn guess last season's spirit is still in them. Good for spanish football though

Haha Madrid. Lol

sebod:
Let's see it this way, if he had prosecuted the match with his strongest line up (which is yet to be known after over 25 matches) and lost, the questions would have been different. I don't have any issue resting any player as long as there is a reasonable reason for it. But starting Munir who has been under performing over Neymar in a game of such magnitude all in the name of finding solutions to an old problem is not acceptable. What if the players are injured? But they were not! Fans complain because of some poor decisions he has made so far which are not helping us. Can you imagine Mathiue playing as RB against RM? And yet,he had no justification for it. Coaches make mistakes and takes responsibility for them, but our oga never sees anything wrong in all his decisions. Fans have the right to shout bro.

The issue has been falling on deaf ears. It's like fans no longer have the right to air their opinions or get angry when things are going wrong. How can a coach not have a stable first 11? If Messi and neymar had not been in the matchday squad for the sociedad game, the complains will not be this much, and he(lucho) still keeps defending himself
Even tata martino admitted he made mistakes and apologized to barca fans, saying he is not worthy to be barca's manager

logica:
I was expecting an aggressive line-up like the home game against PSG. I couldn't believe my eyes. The whole of Anoeta couldn't believe their luck too. Even Moyes must have been wondering if it was a trick of sorts.

Moyes must have examined lucho's temperature during the pre match handshake to see if he was high on weed.

honeric01:
He did wrong because he decided to use another pattern to persecute a game we have not won for 3 years? how is doing something differently a sin?

Benching Messi and neymar in a game like that isn't something different, it's something stupid

Johnpaul88:
But we lost nonetheless! You were making it seem it was a pure football heaven while they were away.

Losing is not the issue here. We lose with Messi and neymar too but not starting them in a game like that when he knows he'll still use them is downright silly. It makes no sense whatsoever

dmcdad:
All the catalan dalies have been saying this for a while now... That Lucho is being very stubborn and adamant. Falling for the same mistakes everytime, and not even listening to his assistants.

That's the most annoying part; the stubbornness

honeric01:
You hate Enrique, fine you have the right to but was it Enrique that earned us the transfer ban? was he the one that signed the current players we have? was he the one that made own goal in our last game? people are ready to forget any good thing you do as soon as you do what they consider not to be good.

Bro, Lucho is not our problem, the board is!

Bro. Hate is a very strong word. I don't like the way he's running the club as a manager.

You know if you're in charge of something, you have to take responsibility of whatever happens; good or bad. The board have their share of blame but so does Luis Enrique and exempting him because he's won some matches (the job he's been paid to do) is wrong

Johnpaul88:
We played well without them last season and yet lost to a 10-man Ajax team and to Bilbao in the weekend that followed that defeat in Amsterdam?

So it's those 2 matches only you're judging with? How about the ones we won which I'm sure is more than 2 ?

honeric01:
You're used to success because you started supporting Barcelona around 2008/2009 or because we have been winning and topping since 1927?

There's a phase in life where you need to restart, we're in that phase, remember Real Madrid invisible phase? we should always be prepared and aware that nothing last forever, you don't drive a car on the same gear forever, you change gear, this is what is happening.

And you that I just started supporting barca how? Cos I said we're used to success ? Smh! What defines success goes way beyond the trophies a club wins

Sure we're in a phase, but in all of Real madrid's phase period, they still went on buying quality players and starting them in important matches and not benching them like lucho did. I still find it weird that you actually support Enrique on this

Johnpaul88:
I know I don't trust Enrique any longer. But we are missing a serious point here. Those 11 guys that started that match, do they have licence to lose matches? Aren't they fully paid Barcelona players? What if Messi and Neymar got injured, won't they be expected to win matches again?

I guess our utter hatred for Enrique is making us look away from some critical point. Barcelona team should be a team that given any combination of line up, they should deliver just as the best line up.

Messi and neymar got injured a lot last season and we played well without them. If they're not in any way fit, then the fans will understand but they being on the bench in a match where we desperately need maximum points defines stupidity. It's a psychological thing again; the players have it at the back of their mind that Messi and neymar are available

So review it if it makes sense; we use our best players at the anoeta and we lose 3 seasons straight now. How well do you think we'll fare using munir and Pedro with a new Suarez?

I don't respect lucho's decision but I'd have been okay if he had just owned up to his mistakes. He keeps adding stubbornness to his stupidity

honeric01:
They want to turn Barcelona to Nigeria/Chelsea where coaches are sacked like casual workers.

It's started already. Since pep, this is our 3rd coach and is turning out to be our worst

We're used to success

Tval:
lucho out keh... person wey no concede goal for like 10 matches in a row.

Na that one dem take dey know coach wey sabi?

In fact I no mind make we concede goals, na part of football. The skunk wey the guy dey smoke don dey pass am

bykebyke:
To be replaced by who?

Another mediocre coach?

One thing we cules have to realize is this,it may take a while before we reach that Guardiola heights again.


No need for him to be sacked..

Mediocre coach? Are you saying there are no world class managers out there anymore who'll be interested in a big job like barcelona's?

I'm not even onto any comparisons at all let alone lucho to Pep but any coach who changes formations everytime, relies on luck to win matches and benches Messi and neymar without reason is just not Barca standard.

bykebyke:
Anywhere but Chelsea abeg

Lol. Then let's promote the #luchoout campaign

bykebyke:
Some Chelsea fans are already licking their lips. ..People weh hate am before o

If na you nko you no go luck your lips? Great player like Messi wan come your club

Messi to Chelsea? Hmmmn. Well that's what we get for letting a dumbasss coach like Luis Enrique continue calling the shots. The earlier we get rid of him and replace him with a world class coach the better. For y'all thinking the transfer isn't possible, think twice oh, it's very possible. Messi is human too, he's a winner who wants to continue winning at all costs and if he doesn't see himself continue winning at Barcelona then why not try somewhere else? I don't want it to happen though but then again, it's FCB first

honeric01:
Yet has 2 own goals in this current season, this is not a good trait o.. meaning he's progressively getting worse.

Yes he needs some talking to

Zubi sacked?

Oh wow that's great news

Let's clear the weeds

honeric01:
BTW, why is ALBA DOING OWN GOAL NA? HAS THE SPIRIT THAT POSSESSED PIQUE ENTERED ALBA?

Lol. Alba is too fast. Attacking wise he is brilliant and helps the team but the reverse is the case defensive wise. He had 2 own goals or so last two seasons

If no be say he dey smoke something, how person wey get sense go bench Messi and neymar? E better make he no put them for line up sef. Even if we win treble this season, I still want make he go. The guy na average coach. All those by luck winnings against almeria and valencia don sweet am, and the most annoying thing be say he no go gree say he make mistake. The guy mumu raise to power of infinity I swear. To dey call Luis Enrique clueless na insult to clueless people.

dmcdad:
Tell Coded say if na play make him stop am ooooooo. Which kind padi be that one na? I no surprise sha. It have tayed when I don lose faith in Lucho.

You dey mind coded01?

philfearon:
Is anything wrong with Lucho?
This man just spoilt my happy mood with his line up.....

You're asking if something is wrong with him, isn't it obvious?

How can someone in his right sense bench Messi and neymar? I'm trying to see from another point of view but I see nothing. Ah ah, this is not normal at all

No matter the tactic, your best player remains a valuable asset and should start every league match

coded01:
Lucho!

Barackohandso & dmcdad padi don start again oh...

Which person padi?

E be like say dem don rebrand wetin he dey smoke this new year. Messi for bench? Chai

Well make we win first sha

Danhumprey:
It started with the AC Milan friendly and now,Valencia.

Oh yeah. They had a winning streak. Now let them have a losing steak too

Juliaann:
Lol this is funny look I will advice u guys to take a chill pill let's watch and see how our match against real sociedad will look like


what of after celebrating R.Madrid's loss and we lost our game too


so let just wait

Life is too short. Celebrate while you can

If we lose let them come and party on our thread too. Life goes on

bykebyke:
The way we are partying at Madrid's thread....if we no win today we don die
