Ah well, I didn't want to say anything but even silence couldn't jinx Real Madrid. I know the season is still long but I think the signs have been there for Barca for so long. Stars keep bailing us out but the early season yellows and reds, and then the almost-losses to weaker teams. I think I should prepare to see the title go to Madrid again.
They have not been good enough this time around and I will have to say that the absence of Suarez is one of the reasons why the team is currently struggling. Griezmann though has been good for the Catalan side, he hasn't had the impact that the fans would really like to see. They are the ones who are going to take charge of the team when Messi retires but so far things are not looking good post Messi Barcelona.
barcelona can't always rely on just one or two players to succeed, they are a big team that should have an effort to succeed with a solid team play, previously messi was injured and barcelona got a negative result and this time suarez was injured, the negative result was repeated again. if they continue like this i'm sure they will find it increasingly difficult to get titles in every tournament they play
Therefore all there must be direction from new coach Satien about Barcelona's lack of performance at this time the coach must be able to get his team more solid for each match so that it will be strong like before, if messi and suarez are relied on then it will be difficult too because of their performance the two are not like they used to be after being injured.
