    I cant stand Valverdes lack of passion. Feels like he’s watching golf instead of fútbol.

    If Barca win anything this season it won't have anything to do with Valverde.

    Team lacks width, quickness, and speed. And management.

    True, and not surprising when you have a useless RB that can't get up and down the pitch and a RB playing at LB.

    Valverde needs to be let go asap. We’ve been poor for a number of matches now.

    True this, but this season we look worse.

    Seems like we are bullied each and every time on the road.

    Like having a glass jaw.

    This is the 3rd time Levante has beaten Barca under Valverde. 2 in La Liga and 1 in CdR. Although the first La Liga loss didn't mean much other than the uneaten tag.

    Team is lacking a lot of heart, something that is definitely bothersome.

    1st goal was really unfortunate. Pique cleared the ball from the back. It wasn't a bad clearance unless you say he should have cleared it to the side instead of the middle. Levante won the header and had players still up front. There was no time to close them down.

    The 2nd goal was well taken. Don't recall how the play developed but Mayoral took a quick turn and great shot.

    The 3rd goal, even if it was deflected was the worst because they had a bunch of players open at the top of the box.

    Worse than the 3 goals though was the fact that we didn't really create much and never really look good except for some plays on the left side behind their defense.

    What's a joke is that EV said that Roberto wouldn't play FB anymore and now he comes out with him at RB an Semedo off position on the left when we have Firpo available. Does Firpo suck in training ? It's like Malcom and Semedo again. We buy these players and don't use them. Can't keep doing that. Something stinks.

    and somehow despite all that we are first

    seems like a classic case of miscommunication between the manager and whoever is in charge of signing these players..if your not on same page, it shows on the pitch

    Not sure what's worse: Those 10 horror minutes or the other 80 minutes. I mean, there was just no response after the goals nor any danger created before them.
