Hans-Dieter Flick

[RedxMAK]

This guy actually knows football. No Lamine, no problem.
Adjusts his personnel and tactics accordingly.
I wonder how Xavi would have fared here.
Another thing is how hamstrung we are financially plus the stadium debacle.
Still delivers despite all the external noise and pressure.

The best manager we’ve had since Pep

Bruno Guimarães:

— “Barcelona are an annoying team — they always want to keep possession and never get tired of controlling the ball.”

— “They make you lose your nerves—you don’t touch the ball, so you get physically drained and exhausted, and when you finally get it, you don’t use it well because you’re tired.”

This is what Barcelona is all about.

Obviously most of us were first introduced to his approach to football with Bayern but I don't recall an emotional coach rather a stoic & reserved one. You do have the sense of someone very committed to the club

Yeah, sounds like Flick has made some changes.

Seems he wants this to be his legacy club.

Just as Pep at City ( *sad face emoji being masked by dollar signs* ), Klopp at Liverpool and it seems LE at PSG ( *sad face emoji being masked by dollar signs* ).

But with Flick it kind of makes sense. He won the treble with Bayern, but they never really truly saw him as the one despite that. Initially got the job as Kovacs interim, and then after a slightly less spectacular second season, exited rather than re-build or improve.

You never know these days but I do have the sense of someone happy here...and clearly we (most of us anyway) are happy

Despite what Pep does at City and how much he wins. No one will ever recognise him as Man City’s man over Barcelona’s man. Pep’s Barcelona is the greatest sports team the world has ever seen and its legacy will never be erased. And Pep will forever always be remembered for his Barça days than his City days despite the trophies he won at City

Considering we had no Balde or Lamine, a win vs Newcastle any way how is good, but we still are having problems with switches of play and deep runners. If it weren't for Joan, a more clinical team would have had us down about 2 after the first 20 minutes. The same issues are still here from last year and I'm losing hope that they'll ever go away. Our pressing while better against Newcastle, still not up to the level it was at last season. I'm happy we won but I can't leave that game satisfied.

That Newcastle no offside was proper bs btw. Fake runner moving offside to enable a deep runner to profit is no different in interference than a player standing in front of the goalkeeper.

Yet one is offside and the other isn't.

I was impressed with how well they handled the first 10-15 minutes. Unbelievable pressing supported by thousands of voices in one of England's best stadiums and they endured without much problem

I don't even have to remind you that all our teams in the past 6-7 years would absolutely shit the bed in that atmopshere and in those particural moments

I don't care if he wins the CL, whic is the ultimate goal, when he leaves I will be grateful for changing the mentality of this club and helping it rise again
