CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Bayern Munchen 0-3

[FinBarcelonafan]

They didn't even try to switch to second gear. They did respect the fact we are a destroyed club. Good on them!

Respect for that.

Not too disappointed. Actually started to enjoy the game when Busi was subbed off.

Where's moonhead [MENTION=15376]DonAK[/MENTION] run off to?

 

[jairzinho]

Not a result to lose too much sleep over. Bayern are miles ahead of us right now, both on and off the field.

True, if we could switch the old Amigos OFF, I think we could be decent, at least a bit more modern team. Amigos are taking us down now.. Sinking ship.

I am not sure if it is the amigos anymore, it looks the like the culture of the entire club (at least when it comes to the men's first team). Too laid back, not hard working and aggressive enough. You can tell from how we approach training (as Aguero mentioned recently) to how we conduct the games. There is that urgency lacking from all aspects of the club. To me it is a culture thing way above the amigos.

I want to see some more fast-paced play with more urgency and purpose. Some other clubs might have inferior players than us but they play better, case in point, Salzburg and Young Boys today.

imo the best thing for this team is to drop out into Europa league and play the youngsters with less pressure. We aren't winning the CL and it's tiresome watching the same culprits fuck up vs Europes elite.. I can't even get excited about these games anymore, thats how far we've fallen.

also, bring in Xavi to assess the youngsters and move from there.

Record breaker!

We are the big club with the most humiliations. Barto and seniors are too blame but also the deeper rooted problem is the club culture. Stuck in the past. Hiring shit managers, no physicality, not spending on defenders, always spending on attackers.
Club is a fucking joke.
To be honest I didn't even watch the match today. I just couldn't wake myself up for it. Slept in. I've b a fan for 30 plus years but this club is done. Fucked itself big time.

The whole organization is old-dated and needs a big change, totally true.

Not a good showing by any means but given the circumstances I am proud of the guys (not Koeman), especially the younger ones, the future of this club. It is going to take time, for sure.

that said, the whole first team needs a culture change. The slow-paced, morbid, listless and unaggressive play needs to stop and be replaced completely.

As always, fuck Bayern.

I agree, and actually I don't think next generation is slow paced as much.
Maybe Pedri, but Araujo, FDJ, Fati, Balde ad Gavi are all playing on much quicker pace.
We need a quick attacker though, it will change a lot in the team.
I think we are one good summer away from returning into a decent big team (not elite one)
A proper DM, a quick attacker (Adeyami) and that is a totally different team IMO

Koeman the scout. Luuk was always going to perform terribly vs Bayern. Not sure why he would play him.

He is only useful, if we have possession and we can have the ball inside the box. Otherwise he is WAY TOO FUCKIGN SLOW.

 

[Messigician]

I can't believe that's a Barcelona forward

Totally speculating on the clubhouse culture, but certainly veterans like Pique, Busquets, and Alba would surely influence that. They are the captains and leaders, and other players are going to follow their lead on the approach to team workouts.

A guy like Pique says a lot of the right things in the media that endears him to fans, but he was also the one who went against Valverde during a night out for preseason in NYC.

We've been in the worst position since 2019. Too shite for CL and not enough shite for Europa thanks to being in LL. If we were in EPL, we would be in Europa already and avoiding these beatdowns.

Don't think it's about training or culture. We just lack the proper players. We recruited abysmally trying to move on from the old core and we ended up still playing them. We have no proper wingers with speed or trickery.
