Barca goal and the best Barca player on the pitch has got it: Araujo.

Saved by the skin of his teeth.

Koeman: "The Bar?a of today is not the Bar?a of eight years ago."


Koeman: "Watching the squad list... What are we going to do? Play tiki-taka? We have done what had to be done."

Koeman: "We played with the 4-3-3 formation in the beginning, but we don't have speed on the wings. With Ansu and Demb?l? we would have it... If you don't understand me, excuse me, the fault is mine."

Barcelona attempted 54 crosses against Granada, of which only 14 were succesful.

Dude has turned us into the Spanish Stoke incredible!

You have to admit though, he's taken them over at the absolute worst time. Lovely seeing him fall flat on his flat face though. Wouldn't be surprised to see him at Spurs or Arsenal in the near future.

Pretty much a gonner once Barca find a replacement, should finish his managerial career now, no one’s gonna take a chance on him after bombing at two big clubs

Barca’s supposed shortlist includes former players Xavi and Phillip Cocu, Antonio Conte, Andrea Pirlo and Joachim Low

I still think that there's plenty more of stinking up the joint for Koeman to carry the can for. I'd give him until after Christmas just to avoid tainting the next coach.

still wont finish worse than 4th though how ever bad he does so it wont be a complete disaster in cl etc

It's all relative though. Those clubs in the "elite" who were involved the ESL fiasco have for the most part are so entitled that they won't accept being uncompetitive with others in the Scab group.

A good few seasons in this position for most of these Scab teams would be good for football. Little chance of that happening hey?

Spanish press comparing his Barca to Stoke City apparently lol

But can Xavi do it on a cold windy night in February at the Nou Camp?

He’s a terrible manager. His decent spell at Southampton was clearly just the overhang from Pochetinno’s period as he’s absolutely flopped everywhere else. He’s set us back about 5 years. I hope he is fired from Barca and doesn’t get a big job again, would serve him right for ruining us. Williams Keane Martina Bolasie Klaassen Schneiderlin Siggurdson Sandro ffs.

So it's just Silva and Allardyce left to get one of the big Spanish jobs then?
