    I think he looks very raw still. His touch and and decision pretty unreliable. Far from the level of focus needed at the first team. Think it'll be at least a few years at least. But very interesting still.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    So our entire system relies on nonstop high intensity pressing for 90 minutes and if it falters even a second then the whole thing collapses and the opponent gets a free chance to score. Great tactics yes.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Anyone else feel this new sense of pointlessness watching us lately? Like, even if we play well and score goals, it feels empty to me. The same feeling as in chess when you're bored of the game and start throwing your pieces against their king. They might blunder or slip up but it's not really a...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Fourth division yes but this guy definitely looks better than Casado and Bernal right now.

    La Liga Round 13: Barca - Athletic Club 4-0

    Ah fuck we're doing this revolting shit too now? Regional handball tournament vibes.

    The point is not that you have to feel sorry for the players. It's that this level of stress is abnormal and bound to impact how the team performs in a negative way. Mental stress is also stored in the body, affecting movement, increasing the risk of injury.

    Xavi Hernández

    I think it's inaccurate to describe it as a loss of motivation, what happens after a succesful season. The pressure is just different when you go into the season as title defenders. The mental burden of always having to live up to something, of measuring yourself against last season's succes...

    24 - Eric García

    Flick seems stubbornly loyal to his starters. Has he ever benched someone for underperforming? Only for tardiness I think. By merit Eric should 100% start over Kounde on the RB but doubt we'll see it.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Given that people identify Flick's current style with how he set up his Bayern team, it surprises me that that team is not on this list. Didn't really watch them play. Is what we're seeing now a further radicalized version of what he tried there? Ballsy move to double down on the approach that...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I find it endlessly annoying how Flick has convinced himself (and some fans along with him) that our high line is what allows us to score many goals. Theoretically it is understandable the thought that it allows us to win the ball high and launch a quick direct counter with a few passes. But...

    La Liga Round 11: Barca - Elche 3-1

    Far from a perfect performance but compare it to our previous run of games and there are a lot of things to appreciate in my opinion. Much more aggression and hopeful dynamism, which is what I've been calling for. Didn't really click together but created a lot and should have scored 2-3 more...

    Two goals and an assist for U19. Great goal the second one here after he was switched to midfield. https://x.com/ArsenKveFCB/status/1984666836240085418

    8 - Pedri

    Of this season's injuries, Ferran, Raphinha, Balde, Lewy and now Pedri's have all been hamstring injuries. Maybe time we pay a little more attention to this in our strength and conditioning work?

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Right now it's just a lot of risky defending with none of the advantages you would expect from it.

    Víctor Barberá

    The hamstring is cursed at this club. Dembele, Fati and Araujo long term absences were all hamstring. Raphinha and Lewy current out with hamstring injuries. Balde and Ferran just returned from hamstring injuries. I read that it's increasing across the board in recent years. I would assume it...
