"I left the changes for the end because I did not see it clearly," he said.
"I thought that we could resolve the situation with the players we had on the pitch."

Ernesto Valvershit. grin
Tomorrow jpmoriarti will tell me what we have is not average. Abeg, I no wan vex.

Saying EV is average is giving him too much credit than he deserves.

Are you surprised? Finally, I've seen someone that Tata Martino is better than in terms of making subs. Gosh!

Even Mourinho that Velverde is compared to will not start goal draught Suarez in his game. He will even likely send him to the reserve teams(Probably our B-team)...

It's not just that Suarez is Now typically useless as a striker, it's the fact that every nice attack that is passed to him has 99% of being spoiled by him...

I have been saying it, Coutinho Messi and Dembele should be our attack this season. Suarez is wasted and should be banned from playing football indefinitely...

That notwithstanding, what is it with Coutinho always indecisive in potential match winning shots or strike. Coutinho had a clear sitter, but somehow he was dispossessed despite being free...

I think we played well yesterday aside from the early sleep when Valencia capitalized and scored. We dominated them in the midfield and attack. There only feasible route was to counter. shocked shocked We need to score more goals and defend counters better. Semedo was really impressive. He's taking the opportunity Roberto's injury afforded him and his shining. He's way better than Roberto in defence anyways. And he attempted some forward forays yesterday that could have paid off more if we didnt have Suarez upfront, obstructing all the attacks.
I streamed the match to a point where I had to exit it because of Suárez's foolishness. Gawd!!! I never knew someone could be as stupid as Suárez he presently.

I'd say he is on par with Bakayoko. Yeah, that's how bad or worse he is now.

That's what I mean.
Suarez is the problem.

As for everything else it's still same old same old

Teams park the bus

When lowly teams park the bus it's not to hard to break them with patience

But when the bigger teams like valencia do,

What do we do?


Everybody talks about some plan b, plan b, plan b,

For 5 plus years now.


Someone should suggest what that plan b could be;

When Suarez is shitttty.
This is just why I really miss Neymar. Yeah, he is gone and never coming back, but cases like this just remind you of what he brought to the team when he was here. Now, if Messi switches off, then it's over.

I concur... i see his movement, timing & vision like xavi, although yet to see those legendary passes... with time he will develop to that level.
EV needs to give playing time to the new guys. Keep them fresh and competitive at all times. You don't get that from training but rather in matches.

He might not have turned out good enough for Barca, it does not imply he's an an average coach.

I refuse to answer yes or no
I rest my case then...

FYI, EV is not an average coach. You and I might want to think that he is, but I tell you he's not.
Do you know what it takes to run a company as big as Barcelona?
Do you know what it takes to make decisions that would make or mar such company?
Do you know what it takes to be in position to make these decisions?
Have you ever been in position to make a decision for a large group of people or a company?
I tell you that who ever the executives of the company deemed qualified to be the head coach, the dude is not average.
Let me ask you a "YES or NO" question... Was Tata Martino average? A simple yes or no would suffice.


PS: Average here means in Barça's capacity.

Thats why i said hes not a coach with flare that plays the most attractive football known of Barcelona simply because if hes winning by a goal,he rather sits barca and defend that goal than score more.His more of an inter Milan kind of Mourinho that cares about winning and concede less.But lets understand also that Suarez has not been inform for two seasons now.Hes has been poor form and his overall play has been very bad and Neymar is yet to be replaced.While i agree that his rotation is poor,but hes the only coach to experiment playing without messi.No coach was ever tried
Nice point you raised about Suárez's form. Now tell me, whose duty is it to either improve him or bench him? Did you say the coach? Of course! If Suárez has been below par for God knows how long, why then has the coach not explored other options?

And let's not forget that the Barça that we've come to know is not all about winning. Heck, if you win without playing good football, then you get called-out. Lucho suffered the same fate of playing not-too-well but winning and was called out for it on countless occasions.

Need I dare say EV is too conservative for a Barça coach? Gosh!

Barcelona outplayed tottenham yesterday,but I will advice to keep calm until the retutn leg,hopefully when tottenham's midfielders are back from injury..there and then can you prove your mettle...
After all CSKA did beat Real,thanks to several key players being injured
Yeah I know it's good to respect your opponents but come on... After last night's lessons? They won't come outta that encounter unscathed. Never!

I wouldn't say hes average just that hes too tactical for my liking.He brought back the classic 4-4-2 which made barca unpredictable and defensibly solid and played some tight games which he came out tops (chelsea and madrid matches comes to mind).While hes general performances has been Ok,he just doesn't have that flare and many at times goes blank with the team.And another thing with him i hate mostly is hes too relaxed.Hes ready to win a game by 1 goal margin with the performance not so great.Hes more of a younger mourinho just that he ensures to win games other than getting a draw
The reality is... EV has not wowed me in any way. I mean, turn things around with his tactical acumen. Honestly, one thing I've noticed all the while since he became our coach is that, he has the mind of a small-team coach. That average-club mentality is an inherent and innate thing in him and not even the opportunity of coaching the best players would change that.

Mehn,it's just sad. Why? Because it will come to a time Messi won't be able to do it all by himself. At such time, other players and especially the coach will need to find a way around winning games and giving Messi the much needed support, probably with his match set-up and/or instructions. No way in this planet EARTH Lucho would have lost 3-0 against Roma with a first leg advantage like we had.

Another thing is; EV is extremely poor when it comes to rotation. That's not even debatable.

And such traits are not reminiscence of a typical Barça manager. Even Lucho was far more sound. Imagine trying to defend a one-goal lead almost at all times. Haba! That ain't Barça!

We instill fear in the minds of our opponents and not the other way round.

If only Suarez can just start banging in goals like crazy... Just if
I don't know what to say about Suárez. We know he adds to our overall play too, but for a striker, scoring goals should be his primary duty amongst other things.

Leo really means business in the UCL. The way he chases balls, marking and committing fouls sometimes show how much he wants to bring home the UCL.

I hate it when there is a win, you praise the players. When there is a loss, you heap the blame on the coach. That sucks! You couldn't see how the coach added an extra midfielder so we could have more control. For much of the match, we looked compact except some moments in the second half. Give praise when is due. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
Mr man... You should know I am not the type to quickly lash out at coaches. Even when everyone was seemingly on Lucho's neck, I never joined the #EnriqueOut movement. I say what I know.

EV is an average coach at best. At this juncture, this is a no-brainer. I knew we'd win the game from the outset. Meanwhile, not to take away anything from the coach, but the reality is that, wins like this tend to take off the lid in his case. This doesn't change anything about him. He's not tactically astute. He is bad with rotations. He doesn't improve players... Mehn, don't even get me started.

Everything he does is reminiscent of the great Xavi Hernández.

Honestly, this win was down to the lads and not Valverde. From the get go, I knew Leo entered the game with a specific mindset, TO WIN the game.

The guy should leave this club mehn. Too average for my liking.
