Hans-Dieter Flick

I’ve said it since last season: not a single one of these defenders get into another top team’s starting line up.

Not a single one of them.

Flick has no choice but to plays that down syndrome Araujo, school boy Cubarsi or pussy Christensen. And those boneheaded fullbacks in Kounde and Balde.

At what point does that fat dumbfuck of a president make the call to sell idiots like Araujo or cowards like Christensen?

This club is run by fucking retards. And it shows.

I can promise you we won't

He has to find a way of dealing with the top teams who press high.

It cant go on that at the back 3 of the 4 can barely pass the ball out early and to anything but the most obvious of passes to wide players 10 yds on front on them.

It cant go on that there is a 37 year old CF who cant offer a run in behind or come to ball and take it in to releave pressure and bring game up the park.

Cant continue to have all or nothing AM like Fermin who can finish in and around box and create chances but has no idea how to put foot on ball or take it in and keep it to help game up park.

For me to help with those things..have to try Ferran at CF, Olmo at AM and told to be more a connecting player than a box crasher. He can.. when on form take ball in with back to goal to a whole different level to Fermin.

Garcia has to be in defence..probably RB and Cubarsi back to his favoured RCB. While Gerard and Christensen can fight for that LCB spot.

Far from perfect but something has to change in these games it is far too easy for teams at moment to press high, go man for man in midfield and defend on their own half way line.

Second time we've been hammered mercilessly this season. 3-0 tonight. 4-1 against Sevilla. Hope it's the last time we are embarrassed in this fashion. In both games Araujo sees red. Flick needs to start from there.

Araujo's career at Barca should be done at this point.

I've backed Flick, but if he insists on playing Araujo, can't defend him here (pun intended, dawg).

Play Garica, Martin, Cubarsi, FDJ...idc anyone over Araujo.

At this point the only people who don't understand that there is some serious tactical issues that the coach needs to address need to have a serious look at themselves

The tactics aren't the issue. It's the fact that the midfield is physically underwhelming and the defenders are clowns. High line, mid line or low block, these idiots are simply not good enough. Flick can take the horse to the well but he can't make him drink.
If you brought Lucho in there might be an initial honeymoon period but they'd implode afterwards.
Said it before. Get a proper, physical destroyer or two for midfield and the whole backline has to change or be reshuffled at least. I'd try Kounde and Martin at CB. Araujo and Cubarsi are back up defenders. One thinks he's Sergio Ramos, the other is a masia pussy.
