The FC Barcelona wasted once again a chance of gold for fight by the title of LaLiga. This Tuesday empató in front of the Raise (3-3), and although mathematically still have opportunity, depends absolutely of the results of the Athletic of Madrid and Real Madrid. Of the last 12 points contested in four days, only added 5 (Two ties, a defeat and a victory), throwing by embroiders it two occasions to situate leader in solitary.
Of this way, the team of Ronald Koeman showed his inability to keep the regularity that demands LaLiga to win it. The lacks of the Ciutat of València have not left to appear of form cíclica in the course of the season, in spite of that the team seemed to have raised in the beginning of this year, but this proof sucumbió in key moments: in front of the PSG, the Madrid, the Granada, the Athletic and the Raise.
1- Lacking of effectiveness
From the start was one of the constant messages of Koeman. The technician did not leave to regret in the band and press conference by the a lot of occasions of goal wasted, and that finished in defeats or ties. Even in important performances like the one of Turín (0-2) was reprochable for the forward for having forgiven so much. At the end, this scarce result finished costing the leadership of the group and have confronted to Paris Saint-Germain in eighth.
2- mental Fragility and fault of concentration
The ones of Koeman showed character in some parties of the season, standing out some traced back like the coperas against the Granada and Seville, but in a lot of parties have not given the size going to rack and ruin with unexpected hits or transforming the situation to his favour. The final of the Supercopa was an example (won in the 89'), in addition to the last tropiezos in front of the Granada (of the 1-0 to the 1-2) and Raise (of the 0-2 to the 2-2 and of the 2-3 to the 3-3) by not conserving the advantage.
3- grave Errors to individual level
In the extensive list of parties playing to traced back (in 14 of 36 days began losing and only won five), the Barça has paid expensive a big quantity of failures that were not responsibility of the technician and that finished in goal: the fault of understanding go in Hammered and Net in Vitoria (1-1), the kickoff of band of Alba with error of Lenglet in Cádiz (2-1), the balloon lost by Hammered in front of the Athletic pillando to Ter Stegen out of place (1-0), the one of Araujo in front of the Eibar home (1-1), the penalti of Lenglet in front of the Cádiz home playing with fire (1-1), the also innocent of Of Jong in Getafe (1-0).
Almost a ten of points that were wasted, without explaining the penal wrong. 7 of the 17 earned, the one of Braithwaite in front of the Eibar prevented the victory and the one of Messi in Paris, arrive with a hopeful 1-2 to the rest. The fault of forcefulness, concentration and mental fragility always have been on the Barcelona table.
4- Valuable opportunities, wasted
Two weeks ago, the Barça depended on yes same still to fault of six commitments to be leader for the first time in 10 months, but left trace back in front of the Granada (1-2). In front of the Athletic presented a conservative party, and the final rage did not have prize to attain oust it, and in front of the Raise left to go two points. The Supercopa Spanish was another granting 'in extremis' when the title was in the pocket before no sobreponerse to the 2-3 of Williams in the extention.
5- defensive Vulnerability
Have annotated 36 so many in 36 days of LaLiga with alone 12 leaving the arch in zero is a poor balance, with the aggravating that it is the picture that less finish has conceded in the Championship. Ter Stegen Has not covered as much as in previous campaigns, and the defensive fragility has presented always when the rival has tightened. The goleas annotated like the one of Villalibre in the final of the Supercopa or the one of Kean in front of the PSG home have revealed a fault of general concentration.
6- Alarming autorregulación
The wear of an atypical season, the accumulation of minutes of a lot of pieces titled had to also to the constant injuries (Hammered, Sergi Roberto, Ansu and Coutinho) and the age of the vertebral column (Hammered, Busquets, Alba and Messi surpass the treintena), has kept the autorregulación that the Barça has gone working in the last courses. Give by livestocks split that they still were not sealed, has carried to dangerous situations that in some cases saved (3-2 in front of the Getafe, 1-2 in Villarreal and 2-3 in Valency in the last weeks) but that in others derived in an adverse denouement (1-2 of the Granada and 3-3 against the Raise).
