I think that even with current squad, Barca results can't be justified. We should be in Top 4 in La Liga I think and fight for 2nd place in CL group. I hope that return of Fati will help, but as we saw, it will took some time for him to get into optimal condition.
Exactly, Barcelona are in shambles but we've still got a squad capable of grinding out results, and what we are getting is way far from what the team is capable of under the right management, which I'm insistent on Koeman leaving, but it looks like we'll likely be stuck with for the while.
He should always go for what he wants from a match, you don't go into a game with a mindset of not losing with a team like Barcelona.
That's just the weight of expectation on them really. I remember when Liverpool were plumbing trade in 6th or 7th place most of the time and arguably, they had the squad that should have been below 10th. Many critics will also say we should be in 3rd/4th at best, but every season we seem to overperform and get 1st/2nd of late.
Grinding out results have never really been Barca's traits I'd say. They know how to win and to subdue opponents, but don't really know how to tough it out for 3 points.
Anyway, everyone back on International duty and here's a silver lining for you: Barca still has a Spanish spine whereas in the last UCL outing for Real, there were exactly zero Spanish players... so if Spain beat Italy and have a few good games maybe they take some of that back to the league later.
