1-2 of those could be ok if the other 2 would be solid. Or if we had a proper DM. There is no defensively consistent player in midfield or defense in the entire squad. The main defender fans put hopes in, supposed leader, turned out to be a nuclear bum.

You get what you pay for I guess. A RB that was signed as CB. Two La Masia kids we're hoping becomes top players, but are struggling to show it so far and the nuclear bum as you said.

Not for nothing, every player in defense was better last season. What happened needs to be studied.

Is it an individual failing or systemic.

Maybe both? Because they are all well off last season form.

It's not entirely true though is it?

We were getting outplayed in the first half because Flick once again did not adapt to his tactics whatsoever. There's a few teams who have copied and pasted the exact same formula vs. us and Chelsea were doing the same. Obviously the garbage personnel doesn't help either, but perhaps he could have told the wingers to come inside, Lewandowski to drop down deep to make the middle of the pitch packed, or something else but he did nada.

Definition of madness is what again?
We were getting outplayed after the own goal. I don't know what game you guys were watching. Do you remember the chat in first 20 minutes? Everybody was saying we play well. Should have been 1-0 up, and Fermin also had some good opportunities in final third

After the own goal, team completely lost focus and maybe they would stabilize if another shock didn't arrive thanks to our captain

Real won the CL by realising La Liga level has dropped and stopped trying to 'outplay teams'.

Barca still think they can impose game on whoever play and those days are gone in CL.

Inter won it last year by barely qualifying. This defeat caused by Araujo brain-fart means nothing long term.
Flick chose Ara to start and Flick didn't start our best g/a in Rashy etc etc etc. This IS long term, Flick keeps fucking up - we should look for another coach, Flick doesn't learn and he doesn't adapt.

It's both.

Our best defender by far and the one holding it together was Inigo, and even Inigo was getting toyed by Marcus Thuram and Lautaro.

Exactly this. People build hopes on exceptions but those are called that for a simple reason.

Maybe I underestimate how much we would miss him, I was a fan while he was here, but I said I don't think we'll miss him that much when he left.

We really need him to organize the line it seems

Inigo wasn't all that either. And being best in this defense is not the achievement you think it is

Yes, but he was the best out of this group.

Kounde for example is even losing his place for the French NT. Imagine getting benched by Didier Deschamps who is infamous for playing his favorites.

Eh, no word about Torres. He was fucking abysmal. 2nd biggest flop after Araujo.

Why would you focus on Lewa when Torres actually had more duties to show up for pass. He was the one being bullied the most in the game.

Every attempt to release pressure by passing to Torres was a lost ball and Chelsea breaking 2 vs 1 vs poor Balde. Poor Balde actually had a decent game, but with that clown above him it was non stop action on his side.
