Hans-Dieter Flick

[Ter Stature]

No game without goals conceded since the win at Real Madrid.

Flick has to change something defensively, maybe put 5 at the back. With Eric?

True. We let the other teams play too much by not controlling possession.

62% is not bad. Useless position is useless.

I missed us being first on the table in Liga and doing good in UCL. Which I got under Flick. And it still stands.

True, still stands, but barely. And we don't seem to be getting better.

Also, we're not some team that hasn't won a league title in ages to be thankful we are first atm.

 

[serghei]

A lot will depend on what we can do in CL vs the big boys.

Xavi deserves respect for the words he said 8-10 months ago, when the best central midfielder in history and a man who loves Barcelona with all his heart, tells you that this coaching job is the hardest and the players aren't special, then it really is.

 

[DonAK]

Yeah, but he didn't win much in the end stretch. Didn't they fail to make top 4? Got taken apart by Atalanta, pretty shite...

That's my point though.

This style of play is really dependent on the players pressing like madmen and to do that they also need to be rotated effectively to be able to keep up their fitness levels.

When they cannot do it this can get easily exploited, and there's a clear lack of control.

Would be better if Flick calmed it down in games like these considering we literally cannot rotate Raphinha and Lamine much as Ferran and Ansu are a waste of squad space for the most part.

It was indeed useless possession for us. And no control.

Agreed. His obssession with heavy metal football is gonna run us into the ground.

There were some good honeymoon months, September and October, now I can't wait for Araujo/Christensen to come back from injuries, if they will stay at the club, apart from Yamal, this promotion of youth in stupidity, is useless, with Araujo as a defender and Christensen as a CDM, we would be better off defensively, I'm tired of De Jong, to the marrow of my bones.

Lol now promotion of youth is a stupidity while we have the best academy in the world. Funny how people blame absolutely everything they can think of when we don't win.

It already did, players are dead already, lol.

As if Madrid won't choke against Girona too lol

 

[Ter Stature]

Madrid doesn't play a retarded defense. That's enough for them, and then you have Barca fans just calling for more attackers to be signed.

 

[malvolio]

Tbf half the starting 11 or more are overrated kids or bums. Some top players can carry you when going gets tough.

I understand brother, but we had the best first 11, you can't put other better players in the team, at the moment, and you made an absolutely unacceptable draw with a team in the middle of the standings, in a bad period, on the contrary, in the second half, they dominated us. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has half the team dying, it's more understandable with them, and the academy thing... seriously man, you can't stay an eternity with Cubarsi as a defender and with Casado as a CDM.

 

[Mihai Stefan]

You play Kounde in a position where he moves extremely slowly, he's better off as a central defender, and Balde, he doesn't have anything to do with defense, he defends as well as my grandmother.
