Hans-Dieter Flick

Also ended up 10 points above them in a league season. You can't conveniently leave that out.

I didn't.

I said he won us the league. Then we were playing really poorly last season. We're actually on pace to score more goals and concede less or about the same this season.

And that's with multiple injuries with our CBs.

Not excusing Flick's shit plans in some games, but why are we acting like Xavi was some God again?

We should have played that today in the second half. Instead we were circulating the ball too much. Getafe defend in a 5-5, just get Araujo up top and cross it. There was absolutely no space in the middle

Hansi never encountered this playing style in the counterpress loving Bundesliga and it shows.

Good post.

We ended 10 points behind Real Madrid last season with Xavi playing haramball and having the grand plan of signing bums like Guido Rodriguez to play CDM.

All respect to Xavi for winning us a league title, but the infatuation with him as the manager is inexplicable. Seems like the squad hated him in the end as well considering he spent his press conferences shitting all over them.

Real is on course for 86 points this season... Xavi got 85 last season... add a better Yamal, Raphina and co and it's very easy to see us win the League.

No fucking way do we go on a run like this under him.

It is very difficult for a manager coming from a totally different football like Bundesliga, that places a very low importance on defending, to adapt to La Liga. Expecting him to do great in the league from the first season is not very reasonable.

We very much crossed in the last 15-20mins. Actually most of the dangerous stuff we created this game was trough crosses.

And of course if Real Madrid played against them, the match would end 3-0, I really can't understand how any league match, Real can win it so easily but they can't play against bigger teams at all. Real Madrid are not better, but they are more consistent in terms of level.

This is sackable, really.

No, we didn’t cross. Those floated balls ain’t crosses. That was just a last ditch attempt in the dying minutes, I’m talking about switching it up and playing some wingplay oriented football.

I agree that our best chances came from crosses except the Kounde goal, that’s why we needed to cross more

That's relegation form

Would have won the League with Xavi though.

Ffs.

There is no way to either prove or disprove that

But I know that last season we went trophyless with Xavi and generally played the worst football in a long time under his management

I can't tell you that is not true though, nobody knows

I think floated balls are still crosses. No?

Don't think Madrid score many goals away vs Getafe either.

Tbf they have better players, regardless of what we think and saw in the matches we faced them. They have a better squad than us.

They play shit for various reasons, but individually they are better than us.

Should relax a bit I think. League is not nearly over in reality and the team is nicely positioned in the biggest competition. The good part is that in CL the teams are built for the offense more, except 1-2.
