Last week, I asked Quique Setién to be bolder and more imaginative, to involve Antoine Griezmann more, and to get the most out of Luis Suárez by asking him to play better minutes, not more minutes. To his credit, the manager did all three with style in a 4-1 win over Villarreal.
We shall see whether that formula continues to work, but it definitely did this time.
Griezmann seemed more plugged in than ever, not too long after he was used only for stoppage time in a 2-2 draw against Atlético Madrid.
