That cup stretch of playing every 3 days for 6 weeks seems to massively hrut them every year. I dont think thats the issue though. Form and stuff aside, Chelsea are not pigeons. The game plan was pretty simple to understand and execute. Sit sit sit, switch into heavy press for pockets of the game, play for the second ball and try to get some nicks and have Hazard make something happen or have Wilian get some sighters. Its the system Simeone/Atelti still use and worked super well for them for a few years. And its not like Barca doesnt know this but the moment the switch happens mistakes happen and then deep turnovers create chances. The Hazard bit didnt work out so well, but Wilian stepped up massively. If you can work the space for qualtiy players, doesnt matter how you do it I suppose. You can play that way against Bournemouth too but that would be embarrassing, so they cant and thats where the real struggle is. Playing like an underdog is never as hard as it sounds regardless of "form". Barca was never going to get any joy until like 70+ minutes, when they try to up the tempo a bit more. But they were probably expecting to not concede by that point. The risk is always there though so they could have done better there. Cant be sliding ruling passes to the opposition infront of your box, if you are Chelsea though.| I get what Valverde is doing, but fuck off man. Dont be such a pussy and put on a safe bet like Vidal, play your 250+ million players. Subbing them on is fine, but not even doing that is fucking stupid. | ||

I concur, however that doesn't change that Barca had performances earlier in this season where they looked godlike and have struggled massively in the last 3 weeks. Including playing a long stretch against 10 man Eibar where they looked like worse team for big parts. | ||

There is a wierd flux also where Valverde has all these players now and he doesnt know how to play them. Thats why the Coutinho buy was kinda premature imo. Cant use him in the CL then whats the fucking point. | ||

Get him an engine and he can play in our 3-4-3 when Cesc gets to old which wont be long xD He really has not played well though. I dont know why you are so horny for him but feel free to take him. Get yourself Bakayoko 2.0 offense version. | ||

Honestly, Barcelona is playing bad since the new year began. Atleti was 11 points behind and now they are 7. But it happens each season anyway. | ||
