debating if I wanna re dye my hair or chop it all🤔
Great win. Not exactly by the difference in margin, but totally in the intent and desire. We conceded very early from a team whose manager is known for defensive discipline. Yet we responded in regular intervals, with 3 beautiful goals which showed how good our players are and how better they can be when linked up properly. What to say about Pedri-Messi ? The dou is killing it. Including De Jong, the trio runs the show in the middle, thanks to the security provided by Busquets at the base. I don't think Messi ever got that technical support from the midfield since Iniesta left. The trio has it all - energy, technique, awareness and most importantly, DNA. Big credit should be given to Koeman as well. The inclusion of Griezmann was not welcomed by many, including me as well. But full marks to the idea of using such a fluid frontline agaisnt Bilbao who were not at their best defensively. Griezmann acted as a complete team player and let others shine. Koeman's reaction to the third goal showed what it meant to him: that Leo-Grizi connection. We did slow down in the second half, by including more defensive players, clearly showing Koeman's conservative approach. It allowed Bilbao to play at out half, for which we paid by conceding our second. Though it was Leo's mistake, it would have been much more difficult for Bilbao to score if they'd started from their own half. Nevertheless, 3 more points. 3 consecutive away wins...once in a blue moon. With 31 points, we jump to the third spot, entering the top-4 for the first time this season.
FT B a r c e l o n a 2 • 2 V a l e n c i a All square. We weren't great on the whole but the tactical adjustments from Koeman could've been done differently and significantly. Anyway, we messed up right from the start, making the job easier for Valencia by staying so narrow. Both Jordi Alba and Sergino Dest were the only players present in either wings, and unable to stretch Valencia's sound defense. I hardly doubt that we'd a proper gameplan. If you look at the goals scored by Valencia, you'll see that they utilised our handicap-ness in defending set-pieces and counter-attacks. Jose Gaya, Maxi Gomez and Goncalo Guedes performed really well to hurt in counters, which helped Valencia collect a point. However, it was a different story for Barcelona. Busquets half-time snubbed made little sense, though De Jong performed good as the single pivot. Pedri was star from our side. He played in the middle and orchestrated the runs in-between the lines. Maybe the only source of Barca's progression in transitions. But Coutinho...I shall do it later. The biggest problem, however, was Koeman's substitutions, which are getting WORSE. That's the word. This time he put De Jong, Pjanic, Trincao and Lenglet, with the defender coming in for Coutinho in 79'. Apart from De Jong, no one proved to be an upgrade/improvement on the pitch. 7 consecutive games without a substitute scoring. This is getting worse, let alone not helping. ¡Força Barça!

A N T I - B A Y E R N There's no official confirmation to the statement but there have been many sources who confirms that Setien might use a 4-4-2 against Bayern. If these reports are true, then I'm fed up with Setein's mediocre out of the box thinking. The diamond midfield will supposedly consist of a quartet of Vidal, De Jong, Busquets and Roberto. Barca will attack in a diamond with Messi and Suarez upfront and Vidal as CAM, and defend in a 4-4-2 flat with Roberto and Vidal covering the flanks. As it sounds, it's purely a DEFENSIVE approach which has pros and cons. Bayern will surely lineup in 4-2-3-1 and heavily emphasize the attacks through wings. Placing 2 players in the flank will create a 2v2 situation for Bayern favouring us, and they might shift to central areas for finding solutions. So mission accomplished, we have restricted Bayern from scoring via wings. But then comes the greatness of Flick's side. They will switch to middle areas. Since only Busquets and De Jong would be the players shielding Barca's defense in the middle, Munich's midfield comprising Alcantara, Goretzka and Muller (who will be looking for spaces) will create 3v2 situation favouring them. Bayern is not a team who only knows how to score goals by using wings. They are equally efficient in the centre, which enables them to target half-spaces and eventually tear down the opposition. Anti-Bayern isn't a solution against Bayern Munchen. Though we might delay in conceding but we will concede, surely. With the defensive approach end up in conceding sooner or later, our major emphasis should be on scoring against the Bavarians which is confidently not possible by using the discussed tactic.
