well as soon he lost messi and he was exposed. dumped so so many youngsters and only played those who had a refined game and were needed due to other injuries. criticised players openly in the media. showed arrogance against the club in media. played with pique as a striker which is like the lows of lows for barcelona

Pique up front was used up front occasionally by previous managers too

ripe plover
Yeah, if both of them finish 5th and 6th, doesn't really matter, does it?
Real are right now first in the league
Yet barca are only 6 points behind
And there is still a lot to play for
Koeman would’ve done better once dembele came back
grave glen
Yeah, and the football quality of Barcelona is there to just steamroll the other teams
kappa
ripe plover
I genuinely don’t think sacking koeman won’t do anything
Apart from the fact that koeman was also starting to perform worse because he didn’t have any trust from his board
grave glen
It can only improve, he had lost the locker room
however, who is coming to Barça?
Xavi is gonna be Pirlo 2.0
ripe plover
It can only improve, he had lost the locker room
If the team missing chances on open goal means he lost the dressing room then so be it
The player let koeman down
Vs rayo
And also vs real
grave glen
of course they wanted him gone
ripe plover
Still losing vs real and atletico is acceptable
But vs rayo it’s the players that were to blame
Depay missing penalty
Dest an open net
Gavi an open net
They created 17 chances
I really wonder who Barcelona are gonna sign
The board obviously wanted koeman out for a long time
grave glen
My bet is on Conte, if they want to do something decent
He is interested in the Man. U. job, but the board is #OleIN team
So he won't wait forever for Ole to fuck up
ripe plover
I guess we know what koeman needed/barca
ripe plover
People really expected koeman to win the league without any quality at the wings lol
Ole deserves the sack more than koeman
Ole has no players that are injured or anything that cause the loss of quality
Koeman obviously missed fati, dembele, frenkie and araujo vs rajo yet were still the better team
How long are frenkie and araujo injured ?
And is schreuder also leaving?

We need something new in that area, since we don’t have any natural wingers there at this very moment apart of Dembele.
And Trincao, who’s on loan.

There’s the option of Ilias Akhomach coming through rn in Juvenile A. He’ll be eventually ready for first team and/or B team action, but not just yet.

why is trincao on loam
I guess because they thought griezmann and messi were staying
Trincao was already loaned ages before messi left
U don’t need trincao when u have dembele messi griezmann
But messi and griezmann left and dembele is still injured

Dembele hasn’t been able to guarantee us any sort of consistency, while his contract situation is eventually gonna be a problem if he doesn’t renew. Collado and Demir on the other hand, aren’t natural wingers who are gonna use their pace in space, as Xavi would want.

Sell everyone who is expensive
And continue with la masia

2009:
In July 2009, after several years working in marketing and running football camps for youngsters, Sergi returned to Barcelona, being named its Juvenil B coach.
2012:
In 22 May 2012 he was handed his first job in the professionals, signing for three years with Recreativo de Huelva in the second division.
2015:
Sergi was appointed manager of UD Almería on 6 April 2015, replacing Juan Ignacio Martínez who had been fired.
2015:
In 3 October 2015, with the Andalusians back in the second level, Sergi was sacked after a 2–2 home draw against CD Tenerife.
2017:
He resumed his career in April 2017 at RCD Mallorca, leaving when his contract expired at the end of the season with the Balearic team relegated to Segunda División B for the first time in 36 years.
2021:
In June 2021, Sergi was appointed head coach of Barcelona B for the next two seasons, replacing Xavi García Pimienta who had been sacked.
thats timeline

Sergi is the guy rarely mentioned in the Cruyff's Barca dream team despite prolly being one of the best left back at his time
Cruyff broke bank to sign Miguel Soler as his left back, but ended up benching him for Sergi whom he promoted from Barcelona B
