Serghei is trying to manage expectations so if Flick doesn't win LaLiga he can argue it is a huge failure.

Lewa went to Saudi Arabia already or what?

You don't remember what you said two seconds ago?

Its not very useful to compare like this because many of them are playing different positions, but I am not really in agreement that those are as simple as you claim. Benzema better than Lewandowski? Benzema was being injured like every other game and missing half the season because of muscular...

Has nothing to do with the team on paper.

That looks pretty damn good to me man. Even had the privilege of having likes of Raphinha, Depay, Kessie as bench in this game.

Xavi's squad was more than good enough to win LaLiga. If Flick wins LaLiga this season, it is because he did an amazing job in spite of ridiculously harsh injury problems, not because Madrid's squad is struggling, and it isn't 'lining up for him' at all. He is still facing a real deficit in...

Would be nice to use the Araujo money on a DM, even though I really like Araujo this seems like a good formula. I would not sell below 70m though at bare minimum.

All players can refuse going to their NT if they want, it's their choice, the problem is most players actually want to play for their country and won't agree to refuse or fake injuries to stay. Part of that is the fact that they want to keep their spot, some of them want to fight for a spot...

He is nowhere near good enough to be a backup. I don't think he is a LaLiga level player, even for relegation teams. Maybe Segunda level keeper. Having him as a backup especially to a keeper that suffered some injuries in the last few years is unacceptable, it would be hard to win any games...

He's decent, and that's fine. You also need reliable bench players, and it's better to have a young academy player like him than an old guy on high wages. He's proven to be solid and will develop further in the future.

What you notice about the La Masia players, other than their talent of course, is that they play with the most passion and drive, always. Players like Gavi, Casado, Fermin, Cubarsi, Yamal etc are all extremely hard working and driven players, who give very good physical effort on the pitch and...

Well let's be fair, he's been terrific and also to play like this at the old age of 36 is brilliant. Flick clearly knows how to get the best out of him and the system currently seems to work far better for him. There is no doubt the physical preparation of the team has improved in general...

I mean, it's not impossible, because it's not like there are that many candidates anymore, it is up for grabs for anyone. As we already know the reputation of a player helps them to win it, so if this old Lewa has an amazing season its likely the voters will be drawn to him especially...

Serghei's takes about Pena literally one month ago : This guy's takes on every single player centre around his love boner for Xavi, it's truly incredible. "No Pena in goal to fuck it up" "At least he isn't forced to play with keeper like Pena" (when arguing in favour of Xavi) One month...

The sky is the limit, when you play in the MLS, that is a joke league compared to LaLiga.

The massive shock is how much our physical level and conditioning increased in just one pre-season. This level of intensity hasn't been seen in Spain since like forever. The board needs to really pull their finger out and support Flick with signings going forward because we might be building...

As you would be if Flick had been performing poorly no doubt. People always compare to past managers, nothing new, its just intolerable for you because you were backing Xavi. I'm not really interested in arguing over past takes on Xavi or trying to one up any user here (except maybe Serghei) but...

Would he be better or equivalent if he wins a big title in your opinion? Do you value progress in competitions even if it didn't win anything, let's say he got to the CL final, would that sway your judgement?
