Midtable manager who inherited a winning 14-16 side with the GOAT still on top. Neymar abandoned ship at the right time. Valverde would have ruined him.It is surely down to a bad man-management on the coach's part.

Heynckess was sacked in 1998 because he confessed to Lorenzo Sanz that he had lost control of the dressing room (and a bad Liga campaign). Del Bosque was sacked in 2003 for not winning the UCL in 2003. And Capello was sacked in 2007, yes. Ancelotti was given the "thanks for everything but feck off" treatment in 2015 despite C.Ronaldo publicly supporting him.and Bogarde on the left?
Although I think it is the feeling of many culés it is difficult to sack him.
When was the last time someone sacked a winner? I think it was Madrid with Capello, and his league was completely different.
In addition to winning easily two weeks ago they have reconfirmed him.
I think he had to deal with a problem that Ancelotti also had in Madrid.
Sometimes in the line-ups and in the substitutions it seemed that he was guided by hierarchy, popularity, etc. As if everything was too prefabricated.
I mean, I do not really know what 11 is his favorite and if he would do something different with more freedom
I am not sure Neymar made the right decision only because his link-up play with Messi and Suarez was very good. Arguably he will never find teammates as good as them, in the sense of understanding his game.Midtable manager who inherited a winning 14-16 side with the GOAT still on top.

Neymar has been injured for most of this 2019. We still have not seen the Neymar-Mbappé combination in full force.I am not sure Neymar made the right decision only because his link-up play with Messi and Suarez was very good.

What would Neymar be doing under this clown?I am not sure Neymar made the right decision only because his link-up play with Messi and Suarez was very good. Arguably he will never find teammates as good as them, in the sense of understanding his game.
No, he should go to Utd and become a winning LFW God.What would Neymar be doing under this clown?
Staying in his own half as a left midfielder playing valverde ball. Made sense for him to leave. Going to Madrid now would be perfect for him.
And in the case of Del Bosque it was a mistake. Heynckes did very bad in liga and Ancelotti also lost it.Heynckess was sacked in 1998 because he confessed to Lorenzo Sanz that he had lost control of the dressing room (and a bad Liga campaign).

Yet Valverde will be here by 2020...
Neymar under Mou?No, he should go to Utd and become a winning LFW God.
Short-term solution, "one season, see if it works, it should work": Koeman.And in the case of Del Bosque it was a mistake. Heynckes did very bad in liga and Ancelotti also lost it.
You have to be cautious and think twice if you want to risk the stability that bring the trophies.
The solution could be the Dutch line / cool coach to remember the importance of the style, but perhaps keep Valverde while looking sideways at Xavi, but Xavi is intimately related to Laporta. A complicated issue. Who would be your option?
You forgot 2015 Barça. A solid 4-3-3 which, contrary to popular belief, was not about counter-attacking, but possession and passing, especially by the MSN.Well for any doubters that Barcelona has abandoned Johan Cruijff's philosophy I hope they have had their eyes opened. Pep Guardiola's Barcelona has given this team some sort of romanticism that still endures till this day. The last coach to truly use Johan's principles of play was Tito Vilanova in the first half of the 2012/13 season.
At least Ajax and Manchester City are there to show Johan's philosophy is still possible to do.
Koeman is dutch but his football style is not what Barsa needs.A gift for MadridShort-term solution, "one season, see if it works, it should work": Koeman.
3-4 seasons project (if it fails in the first season, feck me): Ten Hag.
Zidane will win the 19-20 liga. Wait and see.
Still better than a third year of Valvy.Koeman is dutch but his football style is not what Barsa needs.A gift for Madrid
Do you think de ligt will go to barca?Well for any doubters that Barcelona has abandoned Johan Cruijff's philosophy I hope they have had their eyes opened.

To Utd. according to MARCA.Do you think de ligt will go to barca?
Well reports are saying that he is still undecided and some are eve saying he might decide to stay.Do you think de ligt will go to barca?
Yeah you're right but we might never see it because i'm sure Madrid will try their hardest to get one of them in this window.Neymar has been injured for most of this 2019. We still have not seen the Neymar-Mbappé combination in full force.
Valverde would have ruined the MSN with his 4-4-2 obsessions.
If Hazard goes I think they would be more likely to go for Mbappe as Neymar and Eden play in the same position basicallyWhat would Neymar be doing under this clown?

Floren is too stubborn to accept that QPSG is way richer than him.Yeah you're right but we might never see it because i'm sure Madrid will try their hardest to get one of them in this window.
Yea I agree. Which is why I think the Neymar boat might have sailed.If Hazard goes I think they would be more likely to go for Mbappe as Neymar and Eden play in the same position basically
If Neymar ever moves to another european club again, I think it is more likely he would go to the Premier League than return to La Liga.Yea I agree. Which is why I think the Neymar boat might have sailed.
Really? What EPL club do you think he would go to? City wont take his wage and I dont think we would atm.If Neymar ever moves to another european club again, I think it is more likely he would go to the Premier League than return to La Liga.
I think Perez has done all he could for Madrid, really. The longer he stays, the more it becomes a Wenger situation where somebody refuses to acknowledge reality. They need a new presidentFloren is too stubborn to accept that QPSG is way richer than him.
Well, obviously not Arsenal because they're not a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.Really? What EPL club do you think he would go to? City wont take his wage and I dont think we would atm.
I think he will stay in PSG and won't leave at this rate like Veratti and Thiago Silva.
Floren still has gas left. But he's delusional if he thinks he can buy Neymar and/or Mbappé from QPSG. Those two players sealed their (current) fate. They won't move from Paris until they have fulfilled his contracts. I can only picture City buying Mbappé for 250 (+ variables) million, but they won't.I think Perez has done all he could for Madrid, really.

I'm just confused as to why a Madrid team that finished 19 points behind a tumescent Barcelona are favorites for next season. I would think Atletico would be more of favorites than Madrid.Why is it assumed that tumescent "let's hope Messi scores" 18-19 Barça will improve next season?
Hazard is already a huge improvement, and exactly what Barça needs: a new Top LFW.I'm just confused as to why a Madrid team that finished 19 points behind a tumescent Barcelona are favorites for next season. I would think Atletico would be more of favorites than Madrid.
Well not throughout, it was poor at the start when Messi was central from what I remember. Once Suarez stopped occupying the wings then it improved and Messi actually was consistent in occupying the wide areas.You forgot 2015 Barça. A solid 4-3-3 which, contrary to popular belief, was not about counter-attacking, but possession and passing, especially by the MSN.
Still remember the game Barca had vs Bayern in the cl sf. One of the best games of football I have ever seen.Well not throughout, it was poor at the start when Messi was central from what I remember. Once Suarez stopped occupying the wings then it improved and Messi actually was consistent in occupying the wide areas.
In some games Barcelona used counter attacking like the game against Valencia where the team sat deep and counter attacked. In some games I remember Barcelona attacking with a 262 with Messi dropping deep and Neymar and Suarez coming central. Once Xavi left and Messi stopped maintaining the width on the right, it was abandoned completely.
Hazard alone isn't making Madrid favorites. They have a lot of holes to fill in that squad.Hazard is already a huge improvement, and exactly what Barça needs: a new Top LFW.
Yes, that's true. And Rakitic in 2015 was closer to Fábregas than Xavi, Iniesta probably filling Xavi's shoes that season (when Xavi was benched).Well not throughout, it was poor at the start when Messi was central from what I remember.

They were very dominant in possession in the 2nd half of that season.You forgot 2015 Barça. A solid 4-3-3 which, contrary to popular belief, was not about counter-attacking, but possession and passing, especially by the MSN.
Agreed. Unless we bring in 3-4 great players we ain't winning shit.I'm just confused as to why a Madrid team that finished 19 points behind a tumescent Barcelona are favorites for next season. I would think Atletico would be more of favorites than Madrid.
We need pace and energy in midfield, and a primary goalscorer, preferably one that can play next to Benzema rather than replace him. So basically, SalahAgreed. Unless we bring in 3-4 great players we ain't winning shit.
Let's buy in Hazard, Mbappe, Pogba and Neymar then.We need pace and energy in midfield, and a primary goalscorer, preferably one that can play next to Benzema rather than replace him. So basically, Salah
Hazard is an improvement but he doesn't really fix any of our problems
Kroos AND Modric, ideally. But at least one of them has to go. We've struggled against fast, physical high pressing teams all along, even when we were good and winning the double, but Cristiano being a killer went a long way towards making that irrelevant. Now we don't have a goalscorer like that anymore, and the team had gotten worse in general.Let's buy in Hazard, Mbappe, Pogba and Neymar then.
Seriously though, who would you replace in midfield? Kroos? Modric? Not Casemiro surely?
Meh,I wouldn't buy Salah,besides where would play MbappéKroos AND Modric, ideally. But at least one of them has to go.

With the current state of our team, Hazard is a luxury, Salah and Pogba a necessity
