Bayernball's Yamal stuck in 3v1s till he can inshatrivela to rags or ferret, once in a awhile attempt beat three to shoot and miss by a meter. Pepper in creampie waiting for second balls to give panda a recycle. Donkey sprinting back n forth like Mike Meyers as Phillip the Hyper Hypo hoping Fraud and panda insha him.

Bayernball's deceiving since panda pirouettes and Fraud stutter steps everyone thinks must be Barcaball.

I wish I were trolling.
Is it a bad thing, and should I touch grass, if I understood every bit of that poetry?

What are you actually criticizing? He's winning a lot of games while playing all-out attacking football with a mix of players that are:

- years away from their primes (Pedri, Yamal, Cubaris: 23, 18, 18 years old)
- way past their primes (Lewa)
- doubtful in general quality (Koundé, Araujo, Christensen)
- nothing more than solid with glimpses here and there but also lacking in a lot of aspects (De Jong, Ferran, Olmo).

With only one guy who is in his absolute prime and delivering high quality majority of the time (Raphinha).

Winning domestic double with entertaining football is the most one can expect, based on RM's very own struggles.

Winning CL is possible depending on form and luck but can't be expected with this squad at all.

Honestly, after Messi era and the Griezmann, Coutinho, Démbéle, Gomes disasterclasses I would have never expected that this club will compete again at the very top so soon. Playing Europa League against likes of Man United and Frankfurt with limp sideway zombie tiki-taka year after year was a real possibility.

So the critics better be trolling for entertainment purposes or explain themselves what their expecations are.
I dont know if this was directed at me. But no, not criticising Flick.

The only criticism I have of him so far is his injury record this season and sticking with Kounde at the RB position.

Been one of his ardent supporters even during our shit phases.

Anyone still complaining about Flick's "poor defensive tactics" needs to watch how every player from that back line directly passes the ball to opponents. They are hands down the worst bunch ever since I followed Barca (early 90s).

Kounde, Balde, Cuba, Martin. Pick any random La Liga defenders and odds are you are improving Barca defense.

Flick is a genius to navigate this team to this success and needs to be appreciated.

Flick is within his rights to demand a riskier play style. If you play as a defender for Barcelona, as a starter no less, you should be far better than what we have in the squad.

Even without the high line these defenders are simply too average.

The entire backline is bench material. There's a mix of complacency and lack of quality there. If we make 3 signings in defense for money, not oldies or rejects, there's a good chance all 3 of those players would step into our first 11, possibility of landing flops excluded.

I am expecting the better days where we can actually focus on making a leap of quality in defense also, not just in attacking positions.

It's gotten to such a bad point that we are in the position we wish we had two Eric Garcias. One to use as DM and another to use in the backline. Heck, make it 3.

This 4pts lead is hanging by the thinnest threads. Some inspired Pedri passes, Raphinha's leadership and Yamal's gung ho style. Football is lacking. Our star players are elevating a bad collective play for me.

There's no other way forward. Sign only defenders for 2 summers imo. Depending on what money is available. I'd rather play with Ferran up front than see these dumbers in defense next season. Let them rub the bench.

My team except attack at this point would be:

------------------Garcia
Garcia - Garcia - Garcia- Garcia
‐------------Garcia- Pedri

I'm not even kidding and I don't really rate Eric that much (not like he is WC). Others are just so shit.
