Hans-Dieter Flick

There you go. I knew this game was going to break some kind of a record. That first half was just insane

And consider we also slowed down after the 3rd goal (which is about 20 minutes before the end)

There is a lot xG doesn't account for too. We could have scored much much more than 6

Problem is, many people start to shittalk again, when our defense looks bad because of the dangerous high line. They don't understand that our offensive statistics go hand in hand with the defensive risk. You can't have one without the other.

Hansi magic and there is still nearly half a season to go.

Just wanna throw it out there that even FDJ has 6 assists in all competitions this season (so far). 0 goals.

Tuna could've easily had 25 goals at this point, if he didn't waste so many sitters.

Wild how Lamine is essentially on par with Fermin in output, yet all the buzz constantly surrounds Lamine. In fact, many even wanted to sell Fermin to Chelsea last summer for a measly 50m euro when his output stats now outshine Olmo's!

Also, Tuna is our top scorer so far... que sorpresa! Flick is really getting the best out of this lot. Very cool to see.

Imagine a Schlotterbeck or VanDeVen in this team. That would be the final piece in the puzzle.

No way the final piece. The whole defence plus a DM needs to be brought in.
There's a reason Pep and Lucho won't touch Barca. No money.

DMs barely exist these days and very few that would improve Barca that would realistically make a move for.

DMs or B2B type of midfielders need to be great on the ball for them to be useful for top teams.

Look at all the best teams in Europe and none of them play with someone that's a liability on the ball.

Issue is that getting those type of players that are also very good is not easy.

This team needs a top-class CB more than a DM.

Most teams don't play with Enforcer DM's anymore. There's Palhinha(Bayern/Spurs) but he's so limited on the ball that he would fail in a team like ours. There's a reason why Kompany wanted nothing to do with him anymore and ended up back in the EPL.

Flick as far as I know never used regular DMs for his base. He mostly stuck with players like Pedri/Thiago/FDJ or a B2B Midfielders in the vein of Goretzka as a duo.

Eric technically is about as close as an Enforcer somewhat we have. However when FDJ/Pedri are both fit he has uses for Eric Elsewhere and has been using Olmo down deep in Pedri's absence as of late.

6.3xG WTF 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hansi football is not only beautiful to watch but also super effective, we are peaking at the right time 💯

It's an open secret that Hansi appreciates this board and President in particular yet the entorno would love to create some headlines by peppering him with talk of the election & his vote. Shrewdly resisting the impulse to give the clickbaiters material to generate controversy

That is the task for the challengers to Laporta - how to distinguish yourself when Laporta resurrected the club from near SAD implosion, built a state of the art Espai Barça, beautiful sporting football from men & women's sides and prudent financial restructuring. How, in a democracy, can you challenge that without hoping the incumbent stumbles, generates a public controversy or disappoints financially or sporting wise? You invent garbage to undermine rather than acknowledge the tremendous work done

Font et al have zero chance because they have nothing to offer but look to destabilize and as Hansi said, stability is critical

Espai is built on previous boards plans and future boards money.

Calma.

The womens side he inherited a womens side ahead of the curve and with best set up in world due to decisions taken before he arrived. Has since cut back the budget.

SAD is likely due to the decisions made for short term anyway.

No one is trying to destabilize Flick or anyone. Pure fantasy.

Dont moan about anything being 'destabilized' when the decision is taken for the election to be mid season for benefit of board.
