Quique Setien newly appointed as Barca’s head coach recently lost his first game as Barca’s Manager against Valencia. Setien’s won his first two matches against Granada and UD Ibiza but his team performance was not convincing

Barcelona attempted a total pass of 867 compared to Valencia’s 297 and took a total shot of 14 compared to Valencia’s 8 but that wasn’t enough to atleast savage a point for them.

What really went wrong?

The key problem is that Barcelona are not making the most of possession and pass the ball around aimlessly. Then there are the defensive problems. The side keeps giving the ball away in key positions, which leads to penalties and expose them to counter attacks. Another issue is that many of Setien’s changes have simply not worked. The decision to start Samuel Umtiti instead of Clement Lenglet essentially cost the Blaugrana the match at Mestalla, and it is now obvious why the latter was the preferred choice of Ernesto Valverde. The inclusion of Sergi Roberto at centre-back is shoddy by Barcelona’s standards, it is really hard to believe that this could be the best they have to offer. He was never a great defender and he is player that loves pushing forward so playing as a centre-back limits his abilities. For all of these changes to work, Setien  will need to be given time.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
