Quique Setien’s honeymoon period lasted less than a fortnight as he tasted his first Barcelona defeat on Saturday in his second La Liga game in charge after a 2-0 loss to Valencia.

Barcelona’s Spanish defender Jordi Alba challenges Valencia’s Central African Republic-French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia during the Spanish league football match Valencia CF against FC Barcelona at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia on Sunday. AFP PHOTO The question is whether Setien is trying to impose too much too soon and perhaps whether this group are even well-suited his ideas.

But the plan was to sit and absorb and it worked, with Barcelona unable to cut through or create a single clear chance.And when Valencia did intervene, they were more dangerous too. With their first attack they won a penalty as Jose Gaya slipped past Gerard Pique and would surely have scored from eight yards before being brought down.
