None of us who blather here, there and on social media have any idea what is really wrong with this team. All we know is what we see, and that’s all that we can react to. Right now, things are looking grim. Very grim. And yet this same team has a winnable Copa match coming up, and has just won its Champions League group, one that was supposed to be more difficult than it was.
So either we’re being trolled, or the team really is in trouble. Either way, it’s going to legit suck if we can’t get through this crap together. Want to be a culer? This is part of it. Now on to the Classic.

"A bad match" "making it seem like our team plays bad most of the time"..LOL ..stop trying to downplay the situation.. We've been shït since the start of this season with us scraping wins here and there.

I never mentioned anything about Tiki Taka,but now that you have brought it up...Why go away from a style if you can't impose another properly?

Xavi could have been replaced by another player close to his style(*coughs*Kroos,Gundogan)..but nah...Enrique went for a short term workhorse solution in Rakitic.


Martino almost won us a double.

After all Messi's goal was wrongly called offside in the last game of the season during his time+Victor Valdes' injury.


With this statement,I can confirm that you are nothing but a glory hunter who rates coaches on trophies won.



Yes they never won at Anoeta,but surely none of them went there there and got beaten on
Shots Total.
Shots on Goal.
Corners.
And even Chances fücking created.

If Chelsea vs Barcelona of 2009 was played around November, I'm sure you will be here crying 'Guardiola out' because Chelsea outplayed us in every department.

Likewise when Chelsea beat us 4-2, and outplayed us in stats, you will be among those crying 'Rijkaard out'.

Even when Deportivo had a 19 year unbeaten against Real madrid, no one called for the head of any Madrid coach at that time.

A coach is judged by the trophies won at the end of the season. If Enrique wins the double or treble this season, no one will remember Anoeta nonsense.


I agree Enrique and the team are not playing well enough, but the results so far are not as bad as you people paint it. We lost to Sevilla and Sociedad away last season, but won the doubles. This season, we've got 4 points from a possible 6 in those locations.



The end of the season will judge.

Pique: "Sometimes you can win a game while losing your style of play but when you don’t have the right attitude it’s more worrying."




Pique giving subtle EnriqueOut

Sometimes i come to this thread, and i don't recognize it anymore...especially anytime we lose!
Some people actually think it's Barca's birthright to always be the better team all the time , as if the opposition is there to hail you!

Chelseafan1:


Dey give urself hope, the same Suarez that has 8 goals already, 1 short of Messi 's and 2 short of the highest goal scorer (cr7)

And how many assists? How many chances created? You wan start to dey hypocritical abi? When e comes to Hazard and Neymar argument, then una go remember say goals shouldn't be the determining factor. Now, you don start.

It's not our birthright of course.
But when you have been given everything you asked for,from buying players to selling players,a performance like yesterday's is unacceptable.
Real Sociedad bought just 2players in the past transfer window under 10million.

Pique after the match said"If we continue to play like this,we won't win LaLiga"
(Another subtle EnriqueOut)

Lmao.

Enrique is dumb Chapter1336890432

Swoon.

This is what happens when you play for Luis Enrique in a rubbish system.

Jordi Alba is suffering two injuries at the same time. One in his ankle and the other in his knee. [fcb]



Lmao

It's okay to play bad once in a while.
The times we played good football at same venue, we lost. We played very bad and got a draw!
Maybe against Sociedad at Anoeta , we don't actually need to play well to win.

We've been playing bad since the start of the season.

Just 12rounds into the season and already
Barca 1-2 Alaves
Barca 1-1 A.Madrid
Celta Vigo 4-3 Barca
Barca 0-0 Malaga
Sociedad 1-1 Barca

The team's work vs Sevilla and Valencia all gone to shreds.

What is this, Suarez is a striker for God's sake, his primary job is to score goals for your team, (some of ur peeps here stated this few days ago) and he is just 2 goals short of the highest goal scorer presently and 1 short of Messi. Costa has been more useless than Suarez for Chelsea in other aspect of play but he has 10 goals or thereabouts, that's his primary job and he is executing it well.


Why bringing Hazard who is not a striker into this? The argument was that Suarez has been useless than Neymar and I was like the useless Suarez has 8 goals already, 3rd highest goal scorer behind just Messi nd cr7, such a performance shouldn't be termed useless.


Look for another excuse for your Neymar. U already labelled him the assist Lord, na ur peeps still dey tag am useless.


What exactly do u want from Suarez, to have scored 15 goals already when his bosses have managed just 9 and 10, or to have the number of assists Neymar has had plus 4 goals, because I am not understanding you at all at all. I am sure if Neymar has been able to score 8 goals already, u won't be on Suarez's case.

Positives.. Umtiti and Iniesta are training with the team.

Negatives..Rakitic and Arda Turan haven't been sold to slavery.

This thread and marca.com, I don't know which one sucks more every time Barcelona drops a point.

Bykebyke go and get empolyed with marca so you have perfect platform to troll Enrique.

Well Alba is a doubt for the Clasico..Thank God pace merchant is injured.(Bale)

In this picture,we can see someone whose former team did yahoo yahoo on us.

Barca's problem right now is not neymar, or Gomez or Rakitic... D problem is that Enrique is out of ideas... There's no tactical innovation... The only reason barca is still close to the top of the table is because of talents like Messi and neymar. Even victories against man city, Valencia, BMG e.t.c have come without necessarily playing well this trend actually started last season but no one paid attention because barca won the league... Both legs against arsenal, las Palma's.. I really can't remember guardiola's barca getting outclassed the way they were yesterday... Barca's attacking rhythm has been found out by other teams and Enrique's only option is the counter attack... Most goals this year have come from counters
I remember against arsenal in 2010 or 11, Pep used 4231 to allow Messi thrive in the #10 position, Messi scored four times... Pep's tactics don't always work but at least he tries to fix it...
Well, d point of all my ramblings of that Enrique should be sacked

With the above, you do realize we are just generally having a bad season start then right?
Which can change at any time!

Hopefully that anytime will be soonest.

Our league run massively depends on Madrid dropping points,which they don't seem to be doing lately.
Hopefully the curse of the club world cup hits them.

Messi didn’t take part in Luis Enrique’s session because of a knock he took during the 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad at Anoeta. [sport]

It’s not a knock of any major importance, though, and it won’t rule him out of the Real Madrid.[sport]

Luis Enrique had a private talk with all players today and discussed what happened in Anoeta for 20 minutes.[md]

Talks consisted of him taking the blame for the abysmal performance and being a tactical dunce who does not know how to read a game.[md]

It does happen.
In 2012,Madrid clapped back 10 good points from us and took the league!

A league werrr you only worry about Real Madrid?? Wey others?

He is responsible for the dilapidated squad we have. Most of his signings have been outright failures and he should be blamed for that. Jeremy Mathieu, Arda Turan, Andres Gomez, Paco Alacer, Alex Vidal, even Ivan Raktic. This is his third season so he has himself to blame if he doesn't have the right squad.

But before the start of the season you congratulated him for buying the right players for the right positions?

Congratulated him how? He had the opportunity to get Nolito, he would rather get Arda Turan and play him on the wing. He could have gotten Verrati or Gundogan, he decided to go with Andres Gomes and Raktic. Why should I congratulate him? I really hoped he knew what he was doing but it's now obvious he didn't. After so much money spent we are back to relying on 32 year old Iniesta. He has himself to blame.

10d0ve:
Not to worry , it will be too much when it becomes 10 or 13 points

Relax, im very positive that we'll get it right by the 2nd half of the season. Madrid would still drop points.
