Cajun Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They'll most likely appoint Roura (his ass man) and give him another assistant, like Julià or even Eusebio. Have in mind that La Liga takes a couple weeks off now, so depending on how he recovers they'll probably decide if a proper interim manager is needed. Definitely not Joe Kinnear?

Village Idiot Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Barça B are doing fine. They are more direct and less fluid, but they are a bunch of kids competing in a pretty competitive division so they can't impose their style in the way the senior team does. But they are pretty watchable and they beat their attendance record last home game. My problem with Eusebio at the helm is that Barça B has also traditionally been used to give experience to young promising managers (hello José Mourinho), and Eusebio isn't that; he had just been sacked after a disappointing tenure at Celta and it smacked of "jobs for the boys".

Fair enough. Anyway, Barça B aren't playing quite the same style as the seniors, but neither did with Luís Enrique. It's more "direct" in the sense that it's based more on player individual skill than teamwork, but we are talking about a side that every year sees half its squad promoted/sold so you can't quite achieve the same level of cohesion. But the philosophy is the same, just adapted to the circumstances. One of the reasons we dissolved our "C" side and focused on youth tournaments is that it allows to keep more cohesive squads throughout the years (roughly the same bunch of kids play together as they age), and helps develop the kind of automatisms and teamwork required.
