13 - Iñaki Peña

[Dev]

Flick is desperate for Laporta to sign a proper keeper

It's true that Pena didn't do anything really wrong but if Flick prefers Tek he should play him.

Our previous managers would just continue to play Pena so they wouldn't hurt his feelings. A plus for Flick in my book!

I would get rid of players, who "struggle emotionally" after being benched asap.

Did he?

Well, that's what Sport quote in Barcamans post said. Maybe they made that up.

Ah, I had missed the quote. Probably true.

But I think most would take that benching pretty harshly. Could also be good that it affects him rather than him being unambitious and happy to be back on the bench.

 

[Horatio]

As much as I love Pena’s arc this season I think is right call for Flick to gamble on Tek still.

Pena against top attackers will simply not get to some well placed shots in time like the Rodrygo freekick. Pena also more vulnerable during set pieces even though has done decent so far. But with Tek not even breaking sweat getting to ball first.

 

[Andresito]

Lunin took Madrid to a CL final last year, but still Courtois was #1 for the final.

 

[Porque]

In Flicks defense, everybody asked for Woj to get a chance. And you got to give him a run of games to acclimatize.

Pena has been rather decent though, doesn't really deserve to be dropped.

Tough call.

That's why he gets paid the big bucks, too make these kinda calls.

After about 5 straight games we can see where Woj is at.
