Koeman won't speak after the game, but we all know what he'd say:
"We were playing well until the first goal. Once you go behind, with the players we have, you have no chance. They suck. The club has a future thanks to me."
Still holding out a silly hope that Laporta is just doing the thing presidents always do when they're about to sack the coach, which is publicly support them before a big game.
Yo, we really have Nico González, Gavi, Riqui Puig, Frenkie De Jong and Pedri as midfielders in our squad. Lots of holes elsewhere, but that area is more than well covered for the future.
Frenkie De Jong played about 18 different roles throughout the game and excelled in all of them. Brilliant performance that will probably go unnoticed.
Bartomeu and the entire Barça board guaranteed Valverde wouldn't be sacked after the loss to Atlético in the Supercup last year. He got sacked the next day. It really does happen all the time.
We owe apologies for doubting the the many people on twitter who said Coutinho to Barcelona was a matter of hours last summer.
We should have realized they meant 3,367 hours.
To the "Ronald Koeman is a legend, respect him" crowd: the reason he should leave right now is BECAUSE he's a legend. He should leave before his legacy is destroyed for good.
It's baffling how Barcelona can be so cautious with Ansu Fati while at the same time letting Ronald Koeman be so reckless with Pedri. It's gross mismanagement from top to bottom.
