but this is what you get with classic (non-inverted) wingers. just switch pau and raph and let them attack

boring

It worries me a bit Flick talking about needing more courage in the pressing. To me it looked like we were already a bit too brave, overextending ourselves and leaving big holes through the chains. Would like to see some more coordination instead before we up the intensity further. Of the...

True, biggest disappointment for me. Think he's actually been poor since joining the b-team, perhaps should have waited a year.

He's not a natural LB is he? Was out there committing cardinal sins of defensive passing, putting a high ball into our own area.

Thought he was ok, nothing that warrants a place in the a squad. One or two good passes otherwise just normal distribution at best. Way too much walking. Got cooked too easily a few times. Botched a good chance. We have a habit of projecting genius onto players of his type. Let's be a bit...

Roque appears seriously limited with the ball, like amateur level. Literally just puts it towards goal and runs after it until he loses it.

Casado much better this half.

That was pretty.

Quim Junyent seems interestering but physically he's clearly a few important steps from this level. Don't understand why Flick prioritizes him so.

Leao will do that to most full backs without a back-up. We can't isolate our load bearing defenders like that.

begging Pau Victor and Raphinha to switch wings

They seem pretty keyed up to me. Nothing wrong with the intensity.

Casado untidy and overeager so far.

their keeper looks about 12

Chaotic over the board. Blaugrana shirts bunching up and dispersing in random patterns. Pressing is all over the place, leaving giant holes for them to breeze through our lines.

Wouldn't Raphinha and Pau Victor both be more comfortable on the opposite wing from where they're playing?

Are you saying Pedri wasn't fit for the Euros?

Not convinced so far. He has that drowsy, lumbering movement. Don't like it when our youngsters appear slow and sluggish next to a 38 year old Modric.

An offensive full back who actually knows how to play the final ball!
