Barcelona vs Valencia [2-2], La Liga 2020/21 - MATCH REVIEW

Barça drew with Valencia at the Camp Nou on Saturday, despite goals from Lionel Messi and a stunning strike from Ronald Araújo. With Diakhaby and Maxi Gomez securing a point for Valencia, to heap more pressure on Ronald Koeman...

Such a disappointing end to this game, in particular guys. I'm also gonna have more reaction coming soon on MoreTalkFCB because some of Koeman's words after this game, oh wow... 🤬

[FlyingShite]

How does Koeman sit there and say Puig, who has always played well when given the chance, and a well-seasoned Pjanic need to prove themselves while giving them no minutes to play, and yet gives Trincao minutes EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH. even though he consistently blows it?

This shit doesn’t make any sense anymore and I have HAD IT with Koeman.

[siddhantpai]

I don’t have words that can describe my disappointment seeing the subs of Koeman today...

[Russboca]

Araujo is beginning to become my new favourite CB..that was a world class goal a lot of forwards dream of scoring

[vismong]

I’m honestly done with Koeman, absolutely doneeee, failed at Everton, failed at Valencia and now ruining Barça while putting down young talent.. disgusting

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR LUIS ENRIQUE TO COME BACK AND COACH BARCA ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

[UlicniVojakTape]

"We need to win every game until the end of the season if we want to win La Liga" - Ronald Koeman (after Cádiz game)

Koeman against Valencia: 79' min - score is 2:2 and he's taking out an attacker for a defender. Passive way of thinking against a struggling Valencia.

"Strange times in Barcelona these days. I don't understand it." - Ray Hudson (during Lenglet's substitution)

We also lack effectiveness in offense (need natural wingers) and our defense is still fragile. Players need to work harder, press harder and stay focused.

Lets hope to qualify for Champions league next season, but it's going to be hard with a stubborn mid-table manager. All the opportunities he's giving to young players are overshadowed by the fact he refuses to give Riqui Puig some minutes.

The connection between Pedri, Messi and Puig is so crucial for barca if they want to win even a single trophy like copa del rey

[NavjotSingh-xbcn]

so basically, he rather drop points than bringing on puig? His ego is costing us matches.

Philip should've been the one subbed at half-time for dejong so that busi can play CDM and deJong a CM like last game.
From there every sub was stupid. Plus there was no plan both goals came with luck and set pieces.

[go_opyxd]

Koeman has been switching the starting eleven like it's fifa, atleast make a fixed formation and team so that atleast we can get some team chemistry together.

[joshuageorge]

why was lenglet on the pitch???he is just finding players except riqui to not give him the chance.I am sick of koeman's grudge!he needs to go....

[Joshh_]

I really want to see Araujo and Umtitti play together, Araujo is a top class cb with all the qualities we need, pace, strength and exceptional defensive ability...what a performance from him 👏 🇺🇾

[OskurSenju]

What has Koeman seen in Trincao he does nothing whenever he's on the field.He's probably good in training huh 🤔

[dhairyalaad-ee]

We were desperately in need for someone to put some energy and enthusiasm and who better than riqui Puig to that. But again it's KOEMAN'S personal GRUDGE!!!!

[maiym]

He needs to start playing Konrad a real winger

[Russboca]

Today showed how bad we are without De Jong! He was doing everything for us when he came on!

[mahir]

Lets face the facts: WE ARE ABSOLUTELY SHIT THIS SEASON !!!

[theusualbrownie]

As soon as I saw the Lenglet substitution, I immediately knew TalkFCB's match review would be a spicy one

[zetenydobos]

By starting Coutinho instead of De Jong, the whole stability and defensive structure was destroyed by Koeman.

[amanwithaplan]

Had a bad feeling about Koeman when he first joined. I still remember when he went on a record losing streak with Southhampton, and almost got Everton relegated. He was good internationally but I mean so was Lopetegue and we all know how well that went
