Barcelona a Managerial Disaster from the Top (Part one)

With the transfer market already slam shut the clubs are looking towards the business end of the season and looking to end the season on a high. The same can't be said about a particular club in la liga which has gone from a bad transfer policy to probably one of the worst transfer policies in the world. The club started the season with 4 centre backs 2 of which were good(mostly fit) starters,the 3rd player is great but highly injury prone. The 4th player is a good fit young player and has potential to grow through the season. During the end of the transfer window barcelona signed no defender and sent their fit young defender on loan and now have only 3 defenders of which only 2 were present to actively play of which one was sent off during the end minutes of the game. This puts barcelona at a back foot as they have no options at the back and one injury will mess up the whole back line.

FATIIIII!!!! Barcelona Create a Master Class in the Camp Nou

Ansu Fati the young Barcelona starlet has absolutely obliterated la liga records. Just a couple of weeks ago he was the youngest ever Barcelona starter. In the next match he broke the la liga record of the youngest goalscorer in the league and this week he broke the record of the youngest player scoring and assisting in a single match. The confidence the youngster exhibited in the camp nou was commendable and he showed real flair and pace during the game. The game also marked the return of Barcelona's number 9 who came in for fati after 60 mins after returning from injury. Barcelona would be happy with the performance and would expect to do the same in the champions league match against dortmund.

Upcoming Barcelona players

Barcelona is a talent hub and produces a lot of talented players and it looks like the academy is finally coming through and providing talented players to its first team. Let's look at some of those players that can have a breakout season.   Riqui Puig : Riqui puig is a midfielder playing for Barcelona B and has shown a lot of promise in the preseason as well as some laliga matches in 2018-19. He wasn't given a lot of chances and would expect to have a few more games under the belt this season. Dubbed the new iniesta by a lot of Barcelona faithful Puig would expect to have a good 2019-2020 season.                                                                                                            ...

Valverde a victim or a part of the problem?

Valverde is the current Barcelona coach and probably not the best they have had in a long line.The current coach have had to face a lot of backlash from Barcelona fans and media outlets but the question remains till what end is that justified? This article will be about what Valverde has done till now as a Barcelona manager and what were his major drawbacks throughout the time in the Catalan side. Looking at his first season when he was appointed as the manager Neymar left Barcelona for PSG and the famous MSN had disbanded this was a big blow for Barcelona and it was shown in the  match against arch rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Everyone had written Barcelona off for that season and Real Madrid were the heavy favorites for lifting Laliga second season in a row. Valverde adopted a different style unlike the 4-3-3 that Barcelona were used to Valverde switched to a 4-4-2 style which was more conservative and was less attacking but more importantly this style condes...

Are Barcelona over reliant on Leo Messi?

B arcelona are one of if not the biggest club in Europe and the world but in the seasons gone by Barcelona have changed from a team to a one man show.That has also concluded in failing in Europe even though they are termed as favorites in champions league. Barcelona also has to consider life after Leo messi. Barcelona have invested heavily in their attack for the past couple of seasons bringing in the likes of Coutinho, Dembele,Griezmann. But the majority of the goals are still coming from their two forwards Messi and Suarez. Suarez has been in decline for the past two seasons and has lost in touch in Europe. He has scored only one goal in the 2018-19 champions league which is poor for a player of his caliber while messi scored 12 goals and had 3 assists far more than any other Barcelona players. New signings dembele and coutinho also did not enjoy the season where dembele had an injury hampered season,coutinho on the other hand had a disaster class as he was nowhere to be fou...
