ESPN FC’s Shaka Hislop, Alejandro Moreno, Julien Laurens and Steve Nicol recap Barcelona’s 3-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Laurens lambastes Ernesto Valverde and feels he’s out of his depth at Barca, which then causes him to use players like Frenkie de Jong in the wrong capacity.

They are the same one's saying now that sacking of Valverde was harsh!

Marc S. says:

Being a pundit is a ridiculous job on its own merit but some of them are laughable.

Omiros Pavlou says:

We know and everyone else's. Most importantly Messi's. That's why he had to atone for his sins and get sacked.

RamenGod says:

I have a feeling he is getting sacked soon

Ivan Garcia says:

The people who say Neto is a terrible keeper are honestly stupid. Smh it wasnt his fault we lost the match.

Babacus 007 says:

Shaka was drunk :))))

Ian Wood says:

Barca players right through the spine are at the end of their careers and end of an era – pique,busquets, suarez

Lars Dijker says:

I think it is not completely Valverde his fault. I think a lot of fans hoping for the one touch football of Xavi and Iniesta area coming back. The problem is the system they play. This system is based on that area. I think if you would switch to the Ajax system Ajax was playing when reaching the semi finals last year it would suit way better. With this system you can put De Jong on his favourite position, Busquets can play a simular role on the other side. You can put Messi in the same role as he plays now or like Ziyech was playing. De Jong and Busquets can support the defense more. As a number 10 you can put someone there with more offensive intentions like Vidal. I think it will work way better.

Solomon Wilson says:

Bryan Bustamante says:

Well he’s gone now

Kralj chata says:

Ahmad Farhan says:

Oof Factory says:

J.B. King says:

blackpaint says:

Lal Shrestha says:

When inter Milan play like that park the bus they win against Dortmund they are playing good, Juventus play park the bus win , Real Madrid Don't same with Bayern Munich good, Chelsea Don't good, but Athilico Madrid Don't not good waw waw,

BRO VIDS says:

the barca defenders are terrible absolutely terrible
and it´s not valverdes fault
what he does wrong is that he doesn´t push his team to attack more which they are best at.
just look at the game and tell me that the defenders tried

sem gielis says:

none of them said the name frenkie de jong once. why the f*ck are they clickbaiting this

M2J 02 says:

Stevie is right. Had it been another striker taking those chances Barca would have scored 4 or 5 goals. Atlético was dreadful

neel desai says:

Setien will use him properly ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Giancarlo Lemus says:

this aged well

Maderas Rusticas El Faro says:

Basically the same that Simeone is doing with Joao Felix …destroying his game!

Adon Grubi says:

Ernesto Valverde is finally sacked

Preacher 777 says:

Not anymore :3

Freddie Prado says:

Ernesto got fired which means frenkie will finally play his natural position and griezmann will too.

John Dirom says:

Valverde should have been sacked the day after he cost Barca the 2019 ECL; losing a 3-goal lead to Liverpool was unforgivable! You beat Liverpool in the semi and certainly Spurs in the final.

Oumar SS says:

I understand that black was a pro but this dude is a disgrace to the sport , u can’t talk like this

SkyLessDigital says:

Who came right here after Valverde got sacked?

Tojil Sosa says:
