Hans-Dieter Flick

[Birdy]

Flick got out-coached tonight. We couldn't find space anywhere. All 3 lines. They intercepted balls in our third, pressed our midfield relentlessly and allowed no space to Raphinha and co upfront.
Flick responded with Olmo but nothing changed.

Don't think it would have been different with Lamine in but who knows.

Agree!

We have to work on how to overcome their initial press through better buildup.
Cubarsi and Inigo have the propensity to always throw the long ball no matter what.
More patience was needed tonight to find the right path and play through them via Pedri Casado and Frenkie/Olmo

In Hansi we trust!

A bad day at the office and Barca will definitely lose again. But between that happening a lot of teams are getting slapped 5-0.

Celta, Mallorca, Betis, all away in the next league 4 games.

Demoted from Fuhrer to Mullah this week.

Yeah, issue is 5 1-0 wins are much better points-wise than 4 5-0s and a loss.

Rare Hansi L

Hope he wakes the boys up and comes with a domination against Celta

Hard to argue with your maths there my friend.

Missing Yamal obviously hurts but I think Flick got the starting lineup wrong and the changes were disappointing. Gavi should came on at least 20 minutes earlier not in the 80th minute when the game was dead and half buried. Pau should come on earlier, too
I won't lie I had flashbacks of last seasons and Xaviball while watching the game. I hope it's just one bad day at the office.

Correction Gavi came on in 84th minute. Well that sucks. Anyway, it's just one game, so no worries I guess. I don't think we can play any worse, so... yeah

Celta, Mallorca, Betis, all away in the next league 4 games.

Well its good to lose now, maybe that wakes them up? Or theyll forget it over the break and just continue thinking every team in laliga is serbian farmers.

But Celta will be an easy win, their defense is very shaky.

3 points ahead of Madrid.
We are shambles.

 

[MontenegrinCuler]

Celta, Mallorca, Betis, all away in the next league 4 games.

We won much tougher away games so far this season. Once the team gets rested and Hansi wakes them up, it will get better. I'm not too worried about those games after this loss.

 

[serghei]

I am worried about one thing only. He needs to find a way to win matches when we are in a bad day also. Even under Pep in our golden era we had many scrappy wins when our game wasn't working.

La Liga is a hard league.

It's still 6. Madrid is also in shambles and they will have a hard time in Valencia.

Sociedad has conceded less goals than we have, only 10, Hansi underestimated their defense, Flickball doesn't work against those hardworking low block teams.

So he needs a backup plan, this is really a one trick pony.

Tell pedri he should try to shoot sometimes
