Champions League 2013/2014

Indeed. Had zubi and the board not had the short sighted vision they had, and reinforced Barça properly, who knows what would had happened. Heck, if we hadn't lost Valdes and Pique this season, things could've been different.

Yes. I also pointed to this earlier in this thread. This defeat by Bayern just made me realize our own shortcomings more than anything else, and it pisses me off just thinking about possibly the greatest team of all time falling short because of things happening off the pitch. Entirely inexcusable.

Tata haters what do you have to say.now?

 

[BarcAjax]

Tiki - Taka not means only passing football. Tiki - Taka is different style. Bayern plays only passing football not tiki - taka.

 

[Barcilliant]

Bringing back Pep would be an anti climax. We would still look toothless. Pep wont solve our problems.

 

[Affiae]

Stop with this tiki-taka term. Right now NOBODY in the world is playing proper tiki-taka.

Lol @ quoting Piers Morgan. Guy is irrelevant.

Exactly. What we see today with Barca/Bayer isn't Tiki Taka. It's missing a lot of the core concepts.

Lol do people even have a faint clue as to what tiki taka means? Oh well....

Possession football is not tiki taka boys!

Heynckes only left Bayern because he knew they were a sinking ship

I remember this was posted over a week ago... Haha.

Seriously, though. The fotballstyle of possession for possessions own sake is dead - it's time Pep realize this. This doesn't mean the end of tiki-taka as a style, it just needs to be played more vertical like Dortmund - or of course the best example, Barca anno 2009. Pep has been blinded by possession, and if one was ever to make a case that possession is worthless if it isn't used for anything, these two matches are perfect examples.

Please don't.. Bayern were the perfect team. Pep kinda ruined it..

not kinda. pep is weak mentally. he ruined it completely

 

[Ghost]

Only the score is surprising. Real was always going to win it this year anyway..


Sucks. But it is what it is.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Bayern need to build around Gotze, muller, Kroos, neuer, Alaba, and Martinez. Ribery and Robben are getting old.

 

[Barcilliant]

We need a more balanced style. Rijkaards team had a great blend of skill and power. PEp reduced us to a team of midgets and left.


It seems alot of posters are too nostalgic. Tiki taka is fine but the defence needs to be tightened eg no Luiz and we need to evolve our tactics.
