He should not be an option if we actually intend to traditionally get involved with our policies. Basically, there are other candidates and also Koeman should not be considered either.

While I agree that Allegri isn't a good option, I believe Koeman is. He played under Cruyff. Players who mastered Barcelona philosophy have always thrived on their return as coach, though they may not have been successful elsewhere.
Frank Rijkaard( he wasn't an ex Blaugrana though) was a failed coach before he was appointed coach of Barcelona he excelled because Barca play a brand of football he was familiar with. Same with Luis Enrique. Pep only coached Barcelons B before his promotion. Vilanova was an assistant to Pep before his appointment, and he would have done better if he wasn't down with and on treatment for cancer.
If I'm the president, I will appoint a post cruyffian as coach

tesppidd:
The most annoying part is the way he acts on the sideline, seemingly engrossed in deep thoughts,

And then he comes up with shiit or does nothing at all.


WTF was he thinking?

Valverde to reporters after the anfield embarrasssment: "It is what it is"
Last night after failing like the failure he is: "The match was a bit weird, Valencia attacked us so much" what did he expect?
To make it worse, Bartomeu said it isn't Valverde's fault. We have a serial bottler as coach, and a president that enjoys failure. Oh the players too joined the party in defence of Valverde. These are signs of a club on a "free fall"

Valverde is clueless. I hate to see his confused face. Bartomeu equally has to go, else he will kill Barca

This country...
Let them furnish us with a video of the vulture's interogation.

The euros is just like the WC , they are the only 2tournaments that are played every 4yrs... The only tournament apart from the WC that has over 16 competitors... Don't forget that European football is whr football is ... Any nation in Europe will take winning the euros than to loose in a WC final...no one cares about the loosers

Euros is like the world cup?
Your are beyond redemption

cr7lomo:


No one cares about MVP in tournaments...we only care about the winners....no one remembers MVP in the future ...we only remember winners..... Its better to play 25mins in the finals, get substituted and end up winning the cup that for u to play the full 90mins and end up loosing... Can't remember messi playing under 17 ...he only played junior world cup and Olympics which are inconsequential tournaments... Most great players never played those kiddish tournaments...most great players moved from club football directly to national team cos of their great talents... Cr7 fabs don't brag like messi fans and don't include inconsequential honours like loosing in the final cos it's actually a Shame.... And just for u to know , the European cup he won in 2016 was his 2nd attempt to win the final , his first was in 04 and he first played in a WC semi final b4 ur messi

This guy again!!! You may go suicidal because of Messi since that brings you pain more than anything else. I will advice you stop opening Messi threads.

Chanchit:




Arguing with you people can reduce someone's IQ. To make a useless argument, you will cut only the years favorable to you. Oya let's all be petty together, Ronaldo has played in only one competition final for his countryfinal which he won, but he was never the MVP,cos he managed 3 goals in the competition and played less than 20mins in the final
Messi played in nothing less than 6 competition final for his country and he won the MVP in all.
U17, U20, U23, two copa America which he lost, and a world Cup final which he lost . Remember, your Ronaldo will never play in a world Cup final.

I wonder the kind of brain some of these fan boys wear before commenting on Nairaland.
Anyone who compares a world cup finalist to a continental cup winner needs a brain transplant( if there's anything like that)

forever08:
thank you, trust me griezmann, Jong, ligt may turn to bench warmers.

You're right Bro. sometimes I'm pained when some Barca fans refuse to see that the future is not bright with Valverde on the sidelines.

IKON360:

Zidane won 3 UCL trophies yet he left cos he wasn't given free reign to get players he needed. Madrid suffered so he was brought back but on the condition that he was given free reign. Since Enrique left, we have signed so many players that did well and so many others that did poorly. Valverde is doing enough, it wasn't Valverde that made Dembele pass into Allisson's hand in the 1st leg, I won't exonerate Valverde but I won't lay all the blame at his feet too.
In Barca we need a winger or forwards that can play that left wing since nobody born of a woman can operate from the right better than Messi, Coutinho keeps dropping deep or disappearing, Dembele is either injured or off form or annoying his fans. Griezman can solve that problem at least for now, he is still 29 and if by May 30,2020 we are in UCL finals it will be a worthy buy.

.
All our signings since 2017 have been flops or near-flops and Griezman is just going to be one of them. The players saving Barca are those who were there before Enrique left. No one blames Valverde for Dembele's poor finish. And no he isn't doing enough, his mediocrity is evidently clear. Griezman, De ligt(if they come) and De jong won't solve our problems. Watch how Valverde will turn them into, average players or even worse.

It isn't the coach's fault if we lose with dignity (like Manchester city did), but to lose embarrassingly with all the arsensl at his disposal is very well his fault. It is now common to see Barca panick,especially in away matches, it happen against Liverpool and you know the result, that's what Ernesto has turned Barca into; a team that panicks even before the opponent scores a goal. It didn't happend before, not with Enrique, not with Vilanova, not with Pep, not with Rijkaard not even with Tata Martino.

If the quality of play and the mentality of the whole team is poor, it's damn well the coach's fault. You can't win if the mentality isn't there, Klopp knew this, he worked on it and the Liverpool at anfield was different from Liverpool at Camp Nou. They did this even after injuries to key players.
Valverde's Barcelona is the worst in terms of character and mentality I have seen since 2005. Get ready for a third consecutive European nightmare.

IKON360:

The way I see this, is different sha. Barca's hierarchy include Bartomeu, Abidal, Valverde and Messi. If anybody is being signed, that person must work efficientlly with Messi, Malcolm can't besides the price Malcolm was bought at and the price Coutinho and Dembele were bought at will tell their importance to the team, Malcolm was always going to be a backup to while Dembele and Countinho were supposed to be starters. Also Valverde is a man under authority, he is not Guardiola neither is Barca Man city, those investing in Barc need returns on their money, you don't sign two players for a combined 240+ million Euros and bench them for Malcolm that cost less than 50m. It's not done anywhere. Well I have always loved Suarez but dude is old now and extremely injury prone, it's time to look forward and that's why I slowly tilting towards the signing of Griezman.

Malcom can't work with messi?, and is it right to prefer a player over another because of their transfeer fees?. Isn't it the coach's job to decide lineups?. Won't Griezman be another million dollar flop?.If they need returns on their, money, isn't the signing of expensive flops be a complete waste?, since they can't perform and can't be sold at same price they were bought Barca need a new board to turn the club away from mediocrity. Right now Barca have very poor decision making both on and off the pitch

IKON360:

Dembele wasnt rotting on the bench dude, he was injured. Malcolm can never bench Messi, before you critise do some thinking. And why will Suarez start if we had a better striker?

The ciach doesn't like Malcom, the 3 weeks Messi was injured Malcom played just once( against Madrid in copa del rey) and he scored the equalizer. He was the only threat Barca had in that match. On our lack of strikers, the problem is Bartomeu and Valverde who lacks courage required of a coach to adjust his formation and bench suarez who was performing too woefully. Suarez is only going to get worse. Erick Abidal should equality take some blames, as sporting director, he's directly involved in transfer of players, but he hasn't signed a striker.
Only the next board elections can save Barca from going back to pre-Cruyff era.

Isomerizm:
Valverde had the chance to offload Rakitic to PSG at a high sum+ Rabiot. Dude refused. Weeks later, he wanted to sign Willian from Chelsea at 80m. It was unsuccessful. He tried again, weeks later, this time 50m+Malcom.

I won't even touch his style of play and tactic-less life. Those ones speak for themselves.

This is the coach Barto wants.

Out enemy isn't Valverde. Our enemy is Bartomeu.

You nailed it. I can't wait for the next board elections.

Here are some common sources of empty calories with approximate values:

Sacking Valverde will end all these repeated embareassment. Any player that's against this should follow him out.

xscoffy:



Since my existence as a barca fan,this has been the worst barca coach. A coach with zero tactics... And the worst part is that barca won't still sack him. Whats worst than blewing up a 3-0 advantage in a UCL as coach twice?? And barca board is still contemplating on whether to sack him. Even Wenger wouldn't have thrown away 3-0 advantage.

Mr valverde is the worst coach I have ever seen without a tactics. When the season was abt go start,I told some of my fellow barca fans that it will.be difficult barca winning a UCL under this amateur coach called valverde.why would this idiot of a coach remove the third option he had in attack line when which was coutinho to introduce a midfielder when he knows he needs just a goal to kill off the match? How on earth did this idiot coach never taught of starting the match with 4-4-2 atkeast to keep possession and shut Liverpool down for some mins? Barca should stop politics and employ a coach with a CV not some kinda mid table materials....

Secondly, I have been one person always against still keeping pique in barca. This dude is thr@sh especially when his assistant in CB is bad. Puyol covers this dude for over some seasons and he looked so good before umtiti covered him partly last season. Pique is one hell of a dude that can't withstand d pressure once his partner in defence is having a bad day. I totally criticised the idea of buying left footed defenders only when they were signing defenders without planning for a pique replacement. For those comparing pique to puyol,your just a modern day hypocrite!!!! Pique is absolute thr@sh that's being favoured by barca board cos he is a Spaniard

Again,whosoever that advices barca to still keep Suarez is the main architect if failure in nou camp. The number of times barca won a UCL of late,check the front line, they have always v a front trio that would score as much as 100+ goals in a season. Not scoring just 2 goals in matches and decide to defend.

There is no way only messi can kill himself for the club. Barca GATS plan perfectly well on how to get a CF and a LWF... Dembele is pure sh!t. D earlier the better we realise that.

With this present happenings, barca still had plans to sell rackitic who is their second best midfielder and keep some other sh!ts in the team.... The transfer policy of late sucks. Imagine those days LA masia graduants were always promoted,things v always been fine until.barca went to adopt real Madrid format and start buying some sh!tty players.

I believe they will still sack him. They just cant say it publicly.
I have always said La masia graduates are good. They will perform better than the expensive stars and their character is never in question.
Rakitic's dedication is in dought, he should work on it and improve on his creativity too. If the next coach finds him unworthy, he should be sold. Guardiola sold big name players to get his desired team and Barca didn't regret it.

EddyNumerouno:
How can this be the most embarrassing score line for Barcelona when Madrid have beaten them 11 : 1 in the past?

Thats irrelevant. It was during Franco's dictatorship regime. During the said match, Madrid threatened the referee with a gun at halftime.

lilbest4:
it's only deluded EPL fans that would troll a particular country for not winning UCL 6 time in a row. Are you not ashamed of yourself?

Thats how they hype EPL teams. They will only win this season. La and Bundesliga will come back much stronger next season, They don't go on long indefinate recession like EPL teams do.

Messi remains the GOAT
Maybe when CR 7 retires, we will consider making him the deputy GOAT.

goslowgoslow:

Shut up Mr!! What have you achieved in life? Who knows you? You can't even different between small letter "g" and the capital "G".....What is all the noise about because Barca lost a match. Were you people not making noise about Ronald? Yes Messi is the "god" of soccer and not "God" if you can't differentiate the two then go back to school. And stop bringing Christianity or religion into football. By the way is Messi the only player in that team?
Yes Barca lost, I hail Liverpool they played great football and I pray they win the cup but that doesn't or wouldn't change the fact that Messi is GOAT!! If that pains you you can hug the nearest transformer.

He probably supports one of those Premier league failed clubs. The padlock on his lips got broken because Barca lost. He doesn't realise even liverpool haven't won a trophy in several years, he wants to troll the blue and deep reds from spain who have won dozens of trophies in the last 10 years.
Forca Barca
Mes que un club

maybachmusic:


After first leg

I was still scared

Yea. That's how low vvd has made the team

If you have a strong willed coach. After going 3-0 up. You know your done. Go for the away goal. Hold decent possession

Valverde possession based games are sideways and back passes without creativity especialy in midfield, so that too would have been horrible.

Debroslink:


Suarez has been serving us crap for over 2 years of UCL, yet some peeps like IKON360 kept praising him for dummies.

I screamed on this thread when we sold Alcacer and never bought any real striker. But no, they said we have Messi and everything will be fine.

I told everyone here #PasstoMessi tactics won't survive February to May, but when we defeated average teams like Madrid, Man Utd and Lyon, it was as if I was a fool here.


No Salah, no Fimino, but Origi stepped up. I need a coach that will sell those players in our team who feel they are untouchable. That's what Guardiola did to players like Ronaldinho and Deco.

Valverde should leave asap

You have said it all.
We need a new coach that will administer the Guardiola treatment on some players

Olamyyde:
As bad as the match was...it wasn't as painful as roma. I don't know but that match broke me. As soon as they scored the 2nd goal, i knew the match was over for barca. Valverde has made barca bottling expected.

Yeah, I'm not even saddened by this lose. The Roma disgrace was the most painful since I became an Fc Barcelona fan

Corrosiveman:
Next year would be hell believe me Barcelona lacked that Physical strength which EPL teams have....I see Man city winning it next year liverpool outplayed us both first and second leg...Valverde used the same tactics which costed us in Rome Semedo should have started...Vidal shouldnt have started...Most players need to leave for Youngstars who can run press and hold the Ball if we played our Passing game liverpool would have been exausted...Anyway next season would be hell other clubs are fired up so note that it wont be easy...I dont see Barca winning the UCL with this Mentality

Barca can withstand any team only when this coach leaves.
Valverde doesn't work on the mentality of his team, hence they panick in away matches. They were panicking even before Liverpool scored a goal.

Harjibode:


Now it's valverde, what happened to arrays of experienced player you have, The point was that this team is so average. Quote me.

If you agree Barca have experienced players then the team is not average. The coach didn't work on his players mentality. Klopp did that and made his players believe they can do it. Players may train physically, but the coach has to instill the right mentality in his team, only then will the training be complete.

Raydos:



But do you know the funniest part?? I am a die-hard barca fan, I have been supporting this club since when I was 10, and now I am 23, I just know this current barca squad ain't strong enough, plus there coach I s fuuckin clueless


I predicted 4-0 but people called me Bastard

Now who is the Bastard here? ?

Been a fan since 2007.
A team that won 3-0 st home is a good team. One thing killed Barca tonight......PANIC.
Before this below average coach, Barca have never panicked even if they're losing 3-0. Barca was panicking even before Liverpool scored a goal.
Valverde does not work on his players psychology, hence they panic in away matches even after taking comfortable lead
