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... 2 Likes 1 Share |

With the style of football we play, we will always be susceptible to counter attacks, Especially from the bigger teams in europe. There is very little we can do about it. You cannot be a highly dominant and pressing team and expect not be be found out at the back once in a while. With Pique and Umtiti joining in pressing at the half way line! A proper plan B might be to get good nodders of the ball and go aereal. |

haymekus:He has a point though. Peps Barcelona was not exactly great defensively, we defended by starving the opponents of the ball. Pep had what was called the 6 seconds rule. Whenever we lose the ball, the player at fault in coordination with the players nearby are to win the ball back in the next 6 seconds. Only if they fail to win the ball after 6 seconds can they revert back to their normal team 'defensive' structure. In the past 2games we have seen the same thing with this present team, pressing like mad immediately they lose the ball. With the introduction of Arthur into the gala xi also, we have seen a marked improvement in our ability to retain possession. Where the pep Barcelona edges us considerably are in these 3 areas. 1. Creativity: okay we press like mad when we lose the ball but what do we do when we get the ball? We find a player backward and pass the ball to him just for the sake of recycling possession. No incisive passes, very little defense splitting passes. Tactically, I think Arthur and coutinho are our biggest problems in this set up. People keep saying coutinho's best position is as a winger but he is our most creative midfielder right now. He is the only player bar messi that drives the ball with quickness from midfield to attack. He also has eyes for those defense splitting passes. Arthur is good but playing him together with rakitic leads to redundancy. Rakitic is our 'go to' man when we are recycling possession. He pops up when a player is been pressured, receives the ball and passes to a player under little or no pressure. This is what rakitic does and it is the same thing Arthur is presently doing. Playing both at the same time means while we might retain possession most of the times, it would be in positions where we can do very little damage. One of them needs to drop for a creative midfielder. Arthur is just starting his Barcelona career so I do hope he picks up and improves in his creativity. He would be a big hit in our midfield if he can find spaces to thread passes to our attackers. Steam: The 6 seconds rule required a lot of pressing. Quick plugging of gaps, athleticism, All of which expends energy. When guardiola became the boss, his first point of duty was to let go of some players like Deco, yaya, ronaldinho, etc for their younger variants. So in attack(at different points) we had the likes of pedro, sanchez, david villa, messi etc all with youthfulness and a lot of steam to burn, leading the press. In midfield we had players like xavi, iniesta, busquets, all in their 20s leading the press. This guys were young and full of energy(although it also did help that we were in possession of the ball for most of the times). So much was their energy that guardiola could afford to relieve messi of diffensive duty and conserve his energy for the final third, so much like hazard in sarri's Chelsea. In contrast, valverde's barca has a 31yr old Lionel messi and a 31yr old Luis Suarez leading the press in the attack, a 30yr old busquets and a 30yr old Ivan rakitic leading the press in the midfield. What you get is a team that will press you in the first half then lose steam in the 2nd half, as we have seen in the past couple of games. Over Reliance on messi: let's not get it twisted, any team that has messi would rely on him, it is the overreliance that becomes an issue. Pep's barca had plenty of goal scorers. Eto topped league goals in pep's first season, henry scored goals when he came, David villa could score goals, heck! pep played fabregas as a false 9 and the man left the pitch with the match ball. But as we have seen in this team, every attacking move begins or ends with messi. 11 Likes |

Olamyyde:Busquets played at least 3 positions yesterday. When we were building from the back we revert to a 343 formation. Busquets slots in between pique and vermaelen as the third CB, semedo and alba as side midfielders. When we were on the defensive, busquets played as a DM, trying to block passing lanes and intercept passes. When we were attacking, busquets played as a CM/AM. Give the man some credit. |

We have a dullard as coach...simples. If we win anything this season, the players made it happen and not the clueless coach. Ffs...we were pressing Valencia well but we couldn't really penetrate, a sensible coach would have brought on an attacker who could draw fouls. The mumu coach was lowkey happy with the draw. I admired the Valencia coach...even if his plan was to secure a draw, he did it with confidence and style. Barking out instructions, had nice team setup. Velverde is no coach to take care of barca as a manager. |

jpmoriarti: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. |

Suarez's last played brilliantly for us in the 2015-16, he's been so shiity ever since, however EV is in a self inflicted quandary because he let alcacer go and doesn't trust Munir's ability starting up front for a club like Barca so he has to stick with Suarez. Also i can excuse the lethargy against Valencia, they landed 5am Thursday morning in barcelona, didn't train till friday and then had to travel on Saturday so it can be understandable. As for Plan B, there really is no plan b, the only thing is for other players to step up and start scoring goals too. |

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by losprince(m): 4:52pm On Oct 09, 2018 |
that valencia match was not good and on par with what i would have loved, yes we held posession and passed the ball around yet whenever we got to the opposition half we pass the ball backwards... nobody dribbles or try to create chances, we just kept on tiki...ing taka...ing the whole 90 mins. packing of Bus shouldn't be an excuse for you not to force attack. |
