Hans-Dieter Flick

[FinBarcelonafan]

There is no bad attitude, just tiredness. To deal with this rhythm it has been said what is needed. People keep expecting that to disappear but it just can't be.

Going all-in vs Atletico after losing the first game 4-0 was a huge mistake.. stupidity at best.

 

[JamDav1982]

Newcastle had game after that v far better and more physical side than Bilbao and rested less players than Barca did.

 

[DonAK]

I really want to see Olmo start at CAM next game.

Ferran start at CF because he can at least run even if he's also useless.

Cancelo start at RB which won't happen because both our starting FBs happen to be shit and manage to get injured at the same time. Hopefully Eric Garcia is back though.

Nah. Just accept the struggle in CL and focus on the league. It was likely we'd suffer today here and we'd need a result to take home, and we did. Move on.

 

[Sorin]

Main culprit for looking like a bottom level PL team. Awful man management lately

 

[serghei]

His only fault is burning out the team with unsustainable style comparative to squad depth.

He hasnt done that.

They are not burnt out.. just not playing very well.

Yamal is about the only one that has played a lot of minutes from midfield forward really.

 

[Givenchy]

His only fault is burning out the team with unsustainable and extremely taxing style comparative to squad depth.

and playing with 10 men for 70mins

 

[serghei]

He hasnt done that.

Yamal is about the only one that has played a lot of minutes from midfield forward really.

That's why players have cramps? And dropping due to exhaustion? Please... if that's the case then the physical preparation is shite.

You also have to take into account that some of our players are basically teenagers, not adult men.

 

[JamDav1982]

The way Garcia was firing it long to Lewa and ball being lost was a throw back to MATS under Xavi and that same tactic.

Fucking awful to watch but comes from not enough options or players good enough to take ball in tight areas deeper.

Players get cramps when not been played a lot also.. or one off physical games.

You think Bernal and Araujo have been 'run into ground'?

Not at all.

Araujo is not built to play FB and Bernal was chasing ball all game up and down park at 18 and huge frame.

Neither of those have been even remotely close to run into the ground.

 

[serghei]

Bernal went from not playing much to playing 3 times in a week. This is not normal. De Jong injury put him straight into hectic schedule out of the blue. We were taking it slowly with him.

Now, he's all of a sudden in play every 3 days rhythm. This can't go well really.

 

[serghei]

Of course you don't play well when you're tired physically and mentally. These two are correlated. It is a period of poor physical state of the team. People speak about Newcastle and EPL, but fecking Girona dominated us worse.

None of them have been bar maybe Yamal.

Players rest between games and there was 5 days between Atleti last week and Bilbao.

 

[Barcaman]

He hasnt done that.

Stop repeating nonsense.
Pedri, Raphinha both said after Bilbao that they are very tired and that some others are even more knackered.
