Ronald Koeman’s season at Barça has not been without incident. It’s fair to say that his time at the club has been marred by ups and downs like most of Barcelona’s coaches. However, you are dealing with a variety of issues that are likely making things difficult to flow.
Those ups and downs have not been helped by inconsistent performances by the club depending on what day it is. One day they look great and the next they are beaten in the league or by Juventus.
That has led to a report from Diario Sport that the dressing room has begun to question their tactics. The report specifically highlights that players enjoy their personality and presence on the squad, but the footballing philosophy that Koeman has brought to the table has not been as well received.
The change from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 has cast doubt on Ronald’s strategy with his current roster. Time will tell if this continues to bubble, but something tells me that a change of formation would not be the magic formula that “fixes” Barça.
