Also, when Xavi got criticized for his conservative tactics in 2022-23 for me that is adaptability to squad deficiencies, not his style as a manager. We don't know how he would have chosen to play with a great deep squad.
Yep have to adjust to what you have.

Squad wasn’t that bad

No excuses

It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Lots of bums on the bench, likes of Alonso, Bellerin and whatnot. Garcia the City reject... and so on. Plenty of rejects to make up the squad due to lack of money to sign actual valuable players.

Carlo "the last time we lost 4-0 to Barcelona we won the double".

Carlo is smiling right now.

Make sure you wipe that smirk off his face by the end of the season flick.

We need to go on a winning string now or now. 1 point in the last 3 games which were not vs top placed teams is a disaster.

I don't think he or this team has a pep style 12 game winning streak in them.

This league will go down to the wire

Madrid are now two points ahead.

8 freaking points swing, no wins in 3 games for the first time in like 4-5 years.

I'm remaining positive, but that's Bullshit.

He is stupid if he thinks team can maintain perfect press entire sesson with Lewandowski in the team.
Maybe some players are just tired and that's what makes them less focused.

That would be an easy explanation for what's happening. Don't know if that's that entirely.

I said at the start of the season that Lewa could be weight that will sink Flick. And now it's even worse, because of his scoring spree he seems untouchable.

Not maybe, almost surely. You can't go 100% at all times in every game with a short squad like he demands. It's naive and idiotic.

It is imperative for him to adjust to the squad's possibilities. Defend deeper, keep the ball more, that kind of stuff. Epecially in a marathon like competition such as a league that is very competitive.

He already saw teams like Celta and Las Palmas can exploit his system when intensity and aggression drops. React tactically, not with words.

He has to win out for the rest of the year, Madrid will probably drop a game or two.

But I know Xavi is smiling right now, saying I ain't never failed to win in 3 games lol.
Xavi is the worst football tactician in all of the top leagues. Most boring football I’ve ever seen in my life. Heck, even Mourinho is more entertaining to watch. A bit hyperbolic, sure, but the point remains. We are a big team so we should play like one.

With that said, you are right. Something is off and that needs to change or else we can kiss La Liga goodbye.

The clinicality in front of opposition goals and offside trap are no longer there to bail us out. His football is one of moments. We might still do well in CL, but we have to have good morale from the league run. Barca is not Madrid, to turn into another animal in CL runs.
