Is there anyone more overrated than Luis Enrique?

Seriously? complete utter scrub who did nothing ( if anything he flopped at his previous jobs) before he was handed the Barca job because he's an ex player.

Wins the treble due to having the best front 3 of all time being able to carry him with very little coaching help to them, yet people lost their damn minds like he actually was doing some amazing coaching to make them better.

Fast forward to this season, he's throwing the league away and got knocked out of the CL before the semi finals with the best front 3 ever.

Well Xavi did kind of save his job last season in January.

I dont think you have to be a good tactician to get Barca or Madrid to be working. You just need someone who can create harmony within the squad and that will do

I think following Barca's clasico loss it was important for Enrique to get the players to know that the league wasnt over and to no get complacent. The way he has been treating Alves (who is aa knobhead btw) isnt the way to go. At the end of the day he is one of Barcas senior players. You keep them on your good side

Neymar went to partying. Messi went tax frauding and Suarez exposed with his finishing. Enrique has no answer.

Coachessi needs to step up again like last season and make Enrique the ballboy.

People tend to forget Enrique was a flop at Roma.

Guillem Balague said LE made barca into a better counter team

Enrique was absolutely atrocious at Roma, couldnt believe we actually beat them away.

Bojan (yeah yeah we got him afterwards i know)

If i had a £ for every time Balague said something stupid i'd be a millionaire lol.

Best front 3 ever??? Well considering 99% of teams played a 442 until recently and this 3 striker setup was inaugurated by Madrid with BBC, you may be right.

Best collection of forwards, whatever you know what i'm getting at lol.

Yeah... I think the issue is that none of those guys defend and midfield is completely burned out. I personally don't like 3 striker setups UNLESS you rotate the midfield a ton so they stay fresh all season.

He's only overrated by armchair tacticians who make football out  to be more complicated  than it actually is , and insist on crediting LE with every little thing that Barça does right when most of it could be chalked up to the quality of the players.

In his defence, he did good work at Celta before he got the Barcelona job. He did well to compensate the lack of defensive work rate from MSN and had them playing in a more cohesive manner than the previous manager.

But looking at them now it looks like most of the team is burnt out. They have poor attacking depth (which was known from the start of the season), and individually average defenders. So once MSN stopped playing well - which would happen eventually as fatigue caught up to them - there wasn't a lot to actually fall back on.

I just don't understand in what universe is it a good idea to play Pique as a striker, specially with over 10 minutes to go. That is the dumbest, most useless move in football today.

They have nobody to target for crosses... been a problem since forever. You would think they'd get a backup CF with some size by now so they don't have to employ this stupidity. Or at least get a CM with some size if you don't want MSN to get subbed out.

In pole position for the domestic double. What is this thread? He's just giving Mehdrid fans a glimmer of hope, only to take it away from them in the last second, like the master troll that he is. This forum doesn't understand anything.

You really are setting yourself for a massive GL jinx.

Meh, I win no matter what. If we win: great. If we lose: I've got lots of Barcaforum meltdowns to laugh about.
