I really like many of the aspects Flick brought to the team last season. But this season it's just not clicking. Not even in one game, we havvent surpassed 2024-2025 performances.
When you have tried all your defenders in various mix ups and positions and always get the same result, its obviously an issue of overall defensive approach.
As for certain players and positions, this is my 2 cents:
Araujo may be brainded, but in a NORMAL defensive approach, he is the best pure defender we have.
Garcia BELONGS in midfield, especially without the control Pedri provides.
Either play Lewandowski as a starter or not, we cannot change the frontline each game. On top of the constant injuries, this prevents chemistry from building up.
Same goes for defense. We cannot change the defense each game.
If we approach the rest of the season with some continuity and a more pragmatic approach, we have a chance to turn it arround.
