The reigning Liga champions have struggled to find a spark in 2019-20, with Marc Crosas suggesting that is because they lack inspirational leadership.
Barcelona have become “dull” because they “reflect their coach”, says former La Masia academy graduate Marc Crosas, with Ernesto Valverde facing further questions of his methods.
Crosas says those on the playing side are not an issue for the Blaugrana, with a lack of inspirational leadership considered to be of greater concern.
A Catalan native who left Barca for Celtic in 2008, told RAC1: “Barcelona have become a dull team because they reflect their coach.
“Valverde is a good coach and he has done important things, as he has won two league titles, but he is dull.”
Once famed for their flamboyant football under the likes of Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique, Barca have rather lost their way of late.
“The question isn't whether Barcelona are losing their identity, it has already been lost,” Crosas added. “Barcelona no longer have their own philosophy.
“It's not just about winning matches, the problem is how to recover that lost DNA.”

I see too many pro hyped players who delivers nothing. Barca ought to learn to build from normal players who are dieing for opportunities to do something. Top stars are good but they all have their style of playing. We heard a lot about Arthur, Griezman, and Co as if barca is going to conquer it all.But they all depend on Messi to deliver.So what the essence of fishing out top players to deliver NOTHING? .

when they win u always thank Messi, if they lose u blame the coach. Messi has become a real virus koz he does not like Griezman n that has bkum very visible, he prioritise friendship n personal Glory than the good of the club

The management of Barcelona has behaving very bad to we the fans, because instead of them getting president and coach they are there blaming players everyday and night.

Barcelona is only winning the game cos of Individual performance...If any player doesn't showed up with extraordinary performance, especially Messi then Barcelona lose or draw

he took dembele out🤔🤔 he was doing great after messi and he took him??? May be Valverde wanted a draw, a coach without tactics.
yeah! I noticed that too.... Valverde was like I am the one responsible for making Ansu Fati the superstar...Ansu Fati should go back to team B...

Picque needs to retire. Valverde should be given one more chance if changes are made if not he should be sacked. If somethings not working change needs to be done and the choices he nade so far are disappointing. Having a new manager will set is back further. I think it needs to start with the players and then we can talk about coaching which is the issue

After building pressure on Valverde he acting on sidelines like guiding the team but nobody even listen to him....He stop barking and sit on the seat after a while and again start barking after some time...For me Slavia are the winners of both leg matches...#valverdeforever

in all my yrs watching Barcelona it's the worst i've seen them play in. the last few matches. it's only my love for football and the club why i still watch matches but there is nothing exciting to see anymore. barca has become the man utd of spain 😢😢😢😢
the only difference is that MANU does have worldclass player at every position and BARCA despite of having world class player at every position they are dull

VVD will kill Barcelona believe me...he doesn't know who to substitute and who to leave...we have a backup for Jordi Alba den why should Roberto be introduced and now leave Semedo de option of playing the left wing defence....I tire oooo
