Our user Sunday Oghene starts with a question: "I wonder what it is many people claim to be Barca’s style. If you're talking about Tiki Taka, that’s a style that wasn't popular 10 years ago. So what’s the stupid noise about?
"Luis Enrique wasn’t playing Tiki Taka. He had his own style that was very different from Guardiola. Quick transmission. Under Luis, Barca was playing counter attack which was very very rare under Pep and he also won the treble. No one complained then. Barca lost even more annoyingly under Luis, nothing happened. Why this blind hatred for the present team?"
"Those that claim to know much truly don’t know anything. Isn’t it madness that Valverde is eaten alive for losing the Champions League? You shouldn’t be after only Valverde. Go after Messi and co. They were the ones on the pitch. They played the games. They lost the concentration."
He then disagrees with one crazy claim: "One funny being even said is Valverde is the worst coach ever. Isn’t that madness? What about Tata Martinez that had a chance to win everything yet won nothing. Neymar, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Sanchez, Alves, Alba, Pique... Puyol was still around yet he [Tata] lost the league at Camp Nou despite [1-1 vs Atletico].
"Valverde is doing his job. The day the board think otherwise, he will be replaced but not by the ones you are all clamouring for. Because none of those is better than Valverde who many of you are condemning."
❓ Who fully agrees with a fellow fan here? Are some too biased towards Valverde?
