Sergi Roberto, Griezmann, the genius of Leo Messi and another stunning performance by Marc-André ter Stegen saved Barcelona against Getafe. The Catalans took the victory against one of the bravest rivals in LaLiga, but it was by no means a comfortable match.
The difficulty was evident, but Quique Setién's somehow got another victory. And the Camp Nou, unhappy with what it saw, made sure the coach was aware of their dissatisfaction.
Fans jeered the coach throughout the game, especially when long spells of possession did not lead to any meaningful chance creation and just ended up back at Ter Stegen's feet, who gave a whopping 69 passes during the game.
It is striking in a club used to these actions, but the final 75% of possession did not make much difference. The ball passed over and over again through the feet of the German goalkeeper, who started the attacks of a team lacking in fluidity against Bordalás' team, who was in turn well positioned and searching for goals.
One month after the arrival of the Cantabrian coach, Barça fans are still to fully accept him. Setién promised wins and good play, but the process has not yet led to more than a few sparks of good football.
The coach blamed the public's protests on "nerves": "You see the ball rolling, you see that there are difficulties and it's normal that people and even I get nervous. That's our identity, we try to manage the game from behind. The risk is high, but the benefit is also high."
For now, the balance with Quique Setién is two defeats and six victories. Ahead, the key months of the season and a wide margin of improvement.
