Hans-Dieter Flick

it’s funny cause if xavi had poor record against simeone, we would hear no repeated mention of “duel with Simeone” lol and just would care about winning.

It's turning into a duel since Barca is the only big team that shipped in 6 goals in the first 2 games vs Simeone. Can't remember another top side Simeone been so effective against.

Squad just not good enough to compete with likes of Atleti, Madrid and Frankfurt.

 

[serghei]

Funny. Seems like starters in 2022-23 amazing league campaign are not good enough under Flick even as squad players.

 

[Horatio]

and then claim xavista’s keep getting provoked instead of provoking.

in the two Pathetico games coming at the Metropolitano, I would play a md of:
FDJ - Casado - Pedri

Yesterday's game taught me that.
Olmo was invisible, and Fermin would be the same, the spaces against them are not there.
It's better to have a trio where each one can come down to collect and move up when necessary

With Xavi we conceded 8 goals to Girona last season. Conceded 8 in 2 games vs villareal. Lost both games vs Real Madrid. Conceded 4 vs Bilbao in copa 1/4 crashing out. Conceded 4 against Real Madrid in supercopa. Defensively solid wasn't he.

Let's agree that Xavi's haramball was well suited to face Simeone and Pathetico

Doesn't take away anything from Flick, whose football is 100 tiers above Xavi's, despite facing problems (supposedly) against Pathetico

I don't know why people are getting defensive for a draw at home to atleti in the Copa.

Don't get your panties in a twist.

It's the Copa, if we dropout, those that say they care no, will care 0.

The problem is not that we can lose the cup, but the quality of our defense.

Yea we agree on that, but we all know flick doesn't have very good situational awareness.

Pros and cons I guess.

 

[M3ls]

We need to do something about these passes from deep and crosses from the flanks.

Nobody gives a shit if we lose vs Atletico but win the titles.

In such episodes, our central defenders simply cannot keep up even with players like Griezman or Alvarez, who cannot be called super fast players. And the problem is that in such situations it is very difficult to create an offside trap. If our central defenders had good speed, I would bet with anyone right now that we would win the Champions League, but...

Cubarsi and Inigo do not have good recovery pace

Only Araujo can cope in such situations. Even Kounde as a CB can't.

Problem is Araujo currently can't keep the offside line.
