When will ppl understand that a system change wont hide the individual defence errors
You got it perfectly right. Spot on. But listen, don't keep going. They won't understand it anyway. Hardly any football knowledge here when it comes to tactics. Go and enjoy yourself with your family or friends.

Exactly. The player deficiencies will show even if take a more precautionary approach. The style should remain largely the same vs most teams we may face.
I'm not talking about blunders like vs Inter where we played end to end football with 3 minutes to go and leading. That was a mistake, but the teams is better suited to attack than to defend.

Flick wouldnt be losing to those teams Xavi couldnt beat in Europe.
His style has flaws but Xavis style was not good defensively v better teams and not as good going forward.

Don't think Flick will be able to recover the team physically. Realistically, it's very unlikely they will manage to reach the CL final.
Apart from the economical standpoint I tend to consider the earliest possible exit from CL the best shot at winning La Liga.
Even if somehow we miraculously recover physicall fitness and stamina + form both individually/collectively, I can't see this Barca getting past the likes of Q$G, Bayern or even Arsenal atm.

The players are not knackered.
This is massively over played and used as excuse if Barca dont play well.

Leaks say Flick tried Eric Cancelo Fermin and Ferran with the starters in training tonight
This means the XI is set:
----------Joan
Eric-Cuba-Martin-Cancelo
--------Pedri--Bernal
-Lamine-Fermin-Rapha
----------Ferran
I would have preferred Olmo as false 9 instead of Ferran,
but it is what it is

I have to also point out that Newcastle looked absolutely tired after their Chelsea match at the weekend. No excuses really regarding fitness differences of both clubs. Both clubs are tired.

Barca dont look tired though.
They beat Sevill at an absolute canter at weekend and have been rotating a lot.
It will be first excuse folk go to if struggle tomorrow though. Which shouldnt.
