Most fans have no clue. Team lacks depth... let's sell more key players.
Poor logic.

Those fans are fools regarding two of those 4 lol.
But he's definitely improved players, but the making out of him being a miracle worker is nonsense.
Every single player in our starting XI has already won a major title, with the exception of Martinez.

An obvious point. That is how finances might fuck us in the end. Arrived at a border of a treble and having to rely on no names like Gerrard Martin. That and overplaying certain key players because our bench options are likes of Fati and Pau Victor.
The main players are all quality, the manager is quality obviously, depth is crap.

Finances, and suicidal defensive tactics.
No excuse to be incompetent on every corner.
Argentina dealt with the Dutch, including Dumfries, just fine with an even shorter backline.

This is just aftertiming to the 10th power.
If Xavi were still coach and the football had improved a little from previous season, this list would be a summation of everything wrong with every player, withholding xavi from achieving true greatness.

Barca core my ass. Aside from Pedri who got injured and Yamal, none of our players were that influential in the Euro win.
We're not counting lesbian Olmo as he wasn't our player back then.

Of course, we are a deeply imperfect team. But so are others.
Flick overall is not to be touched despite us being bad on the defense. That's his system. We need to upgrade the squad in defense to help him out making this beautiful style lead to European glory.
Very disappointed in Araujo personally. Biggest disappointment is how he can't solidify a starting spot ahead of an old Inigo.

Being tactical inflexible, once he has an idea, he sticks without no matter how the evidence is telling him other wise

Araujo getting bullied by Dumfries on that 3rd goal.
Sickening to watch. This was his chance to show what different he can offer.

He got fecked by Guirassy also. He's just someone who is supposed to add something and can't even rely him on dominating the box in the air most of the time. Completely embarassing from a so called captain with a leader mentality.

Inigo not being used to play these types of games was a problem also. Don't think Inter created too many chances from open play. In fact it is an evidence that Flick can only change and improve greatly the players that have the mental and technical qualities to follow him. The superior ones. Not all. The ones that can't cope need selling. There are not many.

Sure but the point is him massively improving these players this season.
Inter have taller, more physical players who are better in the air than Barca. Barca didn't have their strongest player in the air.
Argentina beating Netherlands on penalty shootouts has nothing to do with this. Club sides work on set pieces all season long with the best set piece coaches unlike in international football. While I remember Dumfries being pretty good against Argentina, he was on fire yesterday and at his very best. He was playing with teammates he has much better chemistry with.
Also the delivery from set pieces was great by Inter. That's one of the most important aspects which people forget about.
Flick has never been good at coaching defensive set pieces anyways.

The Dutch have a lot of physical, tall players including 6’4 VVD and they didn’t win all the battles in the box all game vs midget Argies. Probably because the Argies were very organized and just had more fire in their belly compared to the likes of Araujo, Cubarsi, and Inigo.
I’m only talking about that aspect of the games to show the contrast.

A point I agree with and made myself many times. But you have to see that the players who have improved showed important things before Flick and give credit to the players in question because they obviously have top qualities. They are not ordinary players.
You are not seeing Araujo being good on the ball with Flick. If the player is limited the manager can't do much. If the player is great, then a manager like Flick will improve him.
That's how it goes. Top managers improve players but mostly the top ones. The ones that can't cope, are shipped out at big clubs.
That is why we moan the absence of Balde. There is nothing Flick can do to elevate Martin to be anywhere near as good on the ball as Balde.
