True... Koeman gave them chance. Its helping us little by little because when these boys become wild together barca will be unstoppable again

Exactly , we always wonder with Koeman what kind of tactics does he plan .

Ayan Tiwari

He has not given any chance to youngsters, he did because he had no choice….the club has no money…why does he want a physical midfielder. If he gets a physical midfielder…..la masia is going down

Elder god 🔥

there was one of the match that pep had 11 player all la Maria graduates at a time in the field

is true but not a façt cos when there's no money there's no option than to create something from what you have that's why when we lose he pushes the blame on them. it happened to chelsea and lampard brought in more youth for the first time in Chelsea's history but after the ban was lifted they started spending big and it has helped. If the money was there koeman would have spent bigger than ever

My. Only problem is i really do not understand why Puig is not playing.... I don't complain abt it before but now its pretty obvious Koeman does not like Puig.... Yes Gavi is good but i think Puig is better

We may not agree with koeman tactics but we can’t deny that we now have more youngster and more la masia graduates getting more minutes under him than any other coach in Barca history.

Releasing a bunch of young La Masia graduates on the field is not a recipe for success. 
 This is the age they need guidance and to play structured football. Play with with a play based around possession and position and not individual brilliance. There’s a reason why the Germans have the best group of coaches today, they focus on group mentality and structure. 

We are yet to head in that direction, I see too much individual thinking on the field of play and hero ball. It starts with the Coach and end with the coach.
