Hans-Dieter Flick

I want to invite him to leave anyway.

In the summer we get a CB or two

Raphinha and Garcia is back and we'll see how he looks next year.

We'll still ship goals for fun, but we should start scoring 4 per game again.

It's kind of insane that a team needs 4 goals to feel secure in every game, but that's the coach we have, at least it's fun

We embarrassing ourselves vs broke European and la liga scrub teams now.
No excuses.
We got better players than these scrubs yet we come out as laughing stock.

But who's surprised? Tactics are a joke
Give this fool any CB in the world we are still getting cooked

Pointless to talk about how he is doing 'the best with what he can' and that 'if we had to defend deeper we'd be worse cause we have shit defenders'.

How much worse would we be doing exactly? We would be conceding 4, 5 or 6 goals instead of the 3 and 4 we conceding now? Or is it that we are scoring goals exclusively due to winning the ball back in high areas with the opponent completely OUT of shape? Because that almost never happens lol.

Barca has to break teams constantly with 11 men behind the ball because everyone knows it takes little effort to punt one through ball through to make a 1 v 1 against us. So not only is the defending crap, it literally makes it even harder for us to score than if they opened up a bit more.

Complete and utter madness in any objective evaluation of the situation by anyone who can understand the most basic concepts of football.

He doesn't seem to know what his best CB pairing is. Sometimes its Araujo-Cubarsi or Garcia-Cubarsi. None have actually impressed so far or done well enough to nail down a starting spot. Hopefully the Brugge game might force him to rethink things. There's still lots of time to turn things around.

I wonder what Flick thinks when every teams just score very same goal vs Barca now.

This season in LL: 13 goals conceded in 11 games. 28 goals scored. 8 wins. 2 losses, 1 draw. 3 clean aheets.

Last season at this stage: 11 conceded. 37 scored. 10 wins. 1 loss. 4 clean sheets.

You could say this season bears a slight resemblance to last year as far as the numbers are concerned. Although it does feel the performances have regressed this year.

The 4-1 loss away to Sevilla is almost identical to the 4-2 loss away to Osasuna last season where they tore us apart on the counter.

After the clasico win last year, we beat Espanyol and then there was the disaster run. Only 1 win and 3 draws in 8 games, 6 out of a possible 24 points.

Take from it what you wish. Last year we won titles while mostly playing some impressive football but there were some appallingly shite performances in there aswell.

Devils said:

Flick or no Flick next year, Laporta and Deco need to make some key signings.

The biggest concern at this club should be if we allow ourselves to get into a position where a rebuild is not feasible given the team requirements and financial situation and as a result we continue to deteriorate.

I just don't see how this team doesn't have huge glaring holes unless a ST, LW, LB and CB are signed next year. I'd opt for a RB too but I think Eric can cover that positon if moved away from CB.

The question is, how much of this is even feasible?

It's pretty clear now that Flick will live and die by his philosophy.
The biggest issue is money. Shitty epl teams can go out and spend 50 to 60 million while we struggle to even register players.
Im hoping Lucho comes back so all the clowns here who criticise Flick can actually see what the squad is made of. There may be a bit of a honeymoon effect but sooner or later Lucho will be screaming for new players.

Yea we are just as leaky but not scoring as much to make up for it.
