The Barcelona has a very grave problem that has remained in evidence with the start of this course. From the start of this season only have annotated 8 goals in LaLiga having played five parties. The figure is quite low in comparison to the data of other seasons.
From the year 2003 the Barça did not have a so negative start in terms goleadores. That season, went the first in which Joan Laporta was the president of the Barcelona and the first team was directed by Frank Rijkaard.
In said course, the Barcelona carried 5 goals in favour in alone five parties and the combinations in the forward saw day after day, of the same form in that it occurs now. The only fixed forward was Ronaldinho and was accompanied by Saviola, Sergio García, Kluivert or Quaresma.
Now the history repeats with an identical league start to the of that then. Koeman Has not succeeded in the task to reconstruct a good offensive now that Griezmann and Messi have gone of the Camp Nou. And the big quantity of forwards of drop complicates even more the situation.
First, the Dutch technician tried a trident between Griezmann-Memphis-Braithwaite in the commitment in front of the Real Sociedad, Athletic and Getafe, and the team marked with them 7 of his 8 goals that have annotated at present.
However, the course of "The Principito" and the injury of the Danish has forced to Koeman to replantear this idea. Against Cádiz, Granada and Bayern, Memphis has been to title accompanied by Demir, Of Jong and Coutinho. Until the moments, the only goal was the one who Araújo annotated in front of the Granada to last minute. It can not forget that in said appointment Hammered played like forward.
The bajón of Memphis
Memphis Had an excellent pre-season, but has had a bajón in the start of the course. In front of the Cádiz showed imprecise, and although it showed very determined to achieve a goal, left to happen two clear that they could have him given the triumph.
Of Jong invisible
The rest has not had almost witnesses. Luuk Of Jong, the 9 request by Koeman and that arrived the last day of the market veraniego has not been protagonist neither generated occasions. Only it registers two shots that any was direct to the arch in the parties with the Bayern Munich, the Granada and the Cádiz. Besides, his condition of 9 pure has kept it almost invisible in each party that has contested.
Not even in the party with the Granada, when the Barça planted it to the centre of the area, generated greater danger for his rivals.
Coutinho, without penalty neither glory
The midfield player Philippe Coutinho is in an alike situation. Since it arrived to the Barcelona has not been neither the shadow of the player that amazed to many in the Liverpool and that in this season only has been headline in an alone party where did not have greater weight. By his part, Yusuf Demir has gone out of start in the last two parties and does not seem that it go to be a reference in the attack of the blaugranas.
A lot of forwards lesionados
As if the situation was not quite difficult, Dembelé, Agüero, Braithwaite and Ansu Fati follow lesionados and still is not clear when they will return to the field. What is clear, is that, in these moments, the Barcelona is inofensivo for his rivals. On of everything, also has remained in evidence his lacks in the defence.
