A thread Must read on your thinking mentality for coaches :

2015 We won treble under luis enrique great Under players like Xavi Iniesta we played some great football. We defeated PSG in UCL quarters, i guess it was a easy and good fixture for Barca so then we faced Bayern

In the semi we took 3-0 home advantage and we LOST at Allianz Arena 3-2 but we qualified Some prime and good football with players like Messi neymar suarez Xavi Busquets Iniesta. We went on to win treble that year.

2015-16. Great Laliga Season and copa but the problem was UCL. Luis Enrique side faced Atletico in UCL we got knocked out by them the problem was Away game. We struggled AWAY against Atl which lead us Knocking out of UCL.

2016-17. We could have clearly won the Laliga if there were no referee controversial decision against us like the clear Goal we scored at Betis which got ruled out. We won Copa that year. Now remember Remondada? We lost 4-0 at PSG AWAY under Luis Enrique...

You see Away game is the problem for Barca since a long time. We somehow managed to win 6-1 at camp nou which was fantastic, But why 4-0 at AWAY?? We had likes of Prime Pique, Mascha, Iniesta, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez, Neymar. We qualified for the next round which was against Juve.

We Lost 3-0 at Juve AWAY in the First leg You see Away game problem again you’ll blamed Luis Enrique for this OK.
We then failed to score in the Second leg at Camp nou which ended in 0-0 draw and Juve went on to Qualify. We again struggled AWAY from home.Only copa that year.

Ernesto Valverde Arrival in 2017-18 and Neymar’s departure. Brilliant Laliga Campaign Almost Invincibles Lost only one game Away at Levante in Laliga. We won Copa too. Valverde side in UCL faced Roma in Knockout stages. At home Won 4-1 in first leg conceded Unnecessary penalty.

Penalty played a big role at that time we Lost AWAY again 3-0 conceded a Unnecessary PENALTY away. You see again the problem is AWAY leg. What will Manager do at Away leg?? Tell players to concentrate? Or play himself at away? Defence is always been the problem for Barca at away

Players lack confidence when they are away There is nothing to blame manager in that A manager can’t change the thinking ability of players all he will say is Concentrate and build confidence. A Manager will go with his best tactics but if players don’t have enough confidence..

What a Coach can do? Yes we started playing some poor and slow football but as far as that gave us results we were just beasts at Home under Valverde but no one will give him Credit for that.

2018-19. What a brilliant football campaign. We really played some good football till the end yes we do lost some Matches in Laliga you see again it was AWAY matches that we lost again the lack confidence of players. We really went till semi’s of UCL under Valverde.

Messi’s best recent Year. He literally shown One man Army like season at that time. We played Manchester United in UCL quarters we won AWAY fixture the first leg with a narrow margin of 1-0 at old trafford which was by an Own goal.

We defeated Manchester United at Camp nou in the second leg we really player good football goals by coutinho and Messi. We Qualified for the next round against Liverpool. At camp nou first leg we defeated them 3-0 why Valverde never recieved the Credit for that?

Lost 4-0 at Anfield but it was because of Valverde what about the error by Jordi Alba which lead to their first goal? Where was Man marking when Origi scored the header Man Marking is basic of defending so why Valverde to get blame? They took the Quick Corner you blame Valverde?

No you should not. Rakitic changed his role under Valverde to some defensive style but then you had problem with that and called him back pass merchant. Another AWAY game struggle it’s just normal for Barcelona looking at the past result of PSG, Juve, Roma mentioned above.

Did you see how many Chances we created at Anfield? Coutinho Shots, Messi Shots, Alba shot all were saved by Alisson. Why Blame Valverde in that game? Clearly lack of Confidence again by the players.

This season in Laliga we were Unbeaten at home till Osasuna game but we have played some poor football too this season. They Sacked Valverde after Super cup elimination. Even In laliga we are struggled a lot. You see again Away fixtures played an Important part in Losing Laliga.

Copa Elimination at Bilbao another away game like fixture. Setien arrived to Barcelona in the middle of the season which has not happened since last 17 years at Barcelona. Expectations were high. Since the restart again the problem is Away game fixture we played at Sevilla,celta

Even at Valladolid away we played one of the worst game of the season if you remember. We played a decent game at Villarreal everyone thought we are back on the track but again at next game morale was down. Slow football tiredness we can Understand.

So the Problem is clearly the Away Games and not the Manager. Away games need to get Improved. Even these days we are struggling to find a Normal pass just because we are very slow. Fitness always plays a major part in football. I have not seen Pass and move since very long now.

Things need to be Changed like We have done very bad transfers under this board. We need a World class CB, A winger LW we have literally spent 2-3 years without LW since Neymar has gone. We spent so much of money on these bad transfer.

I don’t see Barca winning UCL this season if they play like this no creativity, no fitness, no pass and move, No proper finishes and many more things. We really need to stop rely on messi. Defending needs to be improved. Alba and Semedo needs to fall back more.

I still think Departure of Ernesto Valverde in the middle of the season is where our season literally declined. Either he should’ve been sacked before the season started or after this season. I really think he did a wonderful job here. We were literally 3 games away from treble.

Don’t blame him. No manager can win an away game here at Barca since Mentality and Confidence is low. I hope you all Understand what the Actual problem is.
