I have seen some people say that this squad isn’t suited for tiki taka football, but is this really the setup that should be played by a Barca team against an inferior opponent?

1. 0 players open, 5 players looking to run in behind, starting every single attack with a blind long ball by a defender. Surely that’s neither the best nor the most efficient way of attacking when you have Gundogan and De Jong in midfield, old Lewy up top and you’re facing a newly promoted team…

2. Napoli’s gonna chew us alive

3. 5-0-5 the lasted invention by our great coach 🫡

4. Las Palmas was playing a suicidal high line (like they always do). Why not play in behind? Roberto was playing pretty much as a SS and constantly trying to get runs in behind. The problem in the first half was players not being brave enough with the final pass and not trying enough.

5. People need to stop this thing of ‘inferior’ teams.

   Football is played on the pitch not a stat sheet.
