Outside the game against Barca they have only conceded 15 goals.
Yes they have weak and average defenders, but they don't expose those weak players to 100% like Flick does.
Barca with Flick is always going full on even after leading, and then players like Kounde or Casado fuck up. That's just the obvious pattern, every game fuck ups on the counter. Has he ever commented on that?
Forget about winning any big titles. This system only works if you have defenders that never put a foot wrong. We don't have that.
Liverpool and Inter have conceded only ONE goal in the Champions League, you will never win against them like this. Anything! Outscoring and the offside trap one trick pony isn't a tactic that will defeat top teams twice. Especially if the finishing is like this, Barca hit the goal 16 times, Vardrid only 4 times, Lewy and Raph both wasting chances left and right.
I'm also starting to doubt this highline advantage in offense, there's enough quality upfront, it just leaves the team vulnerable to counters and gifts many average players their first goal of the season. How did others keep them at bay???
