If we want to go down the mathematical fact route, here's some facts: 1/4 big trophies (la liga / UCL) edit: I'm not including league/ucl in the half season Xavi joined. 0/2 europa league 0/3 copa del rey 1/3 super copa Flick so far matching the super copa record. Needs 1 big trophy in the...

Yup completely agree. Maybe they think we're making excuses for if Flick fails. I personally don't believe these are valid excuses for Flick if we were to crash out of all competitions in a bad way. Results and trophies obviously matter, especially here. It's just fair to include this...

You’ll say anything but admit Xavi had a big advantage being able to field mats instead of Peña and retired Szczęsny.

Also the stats say we should have conceded 33 from the chances we conceded, but we conceded only 20. That is directly due to the goalkeeper. edit: in the league winning Xavi season

Mats wasn't player of the season because of our entire defence being more structured, it was because he alone saved a couple of big chances almost every match. Mats is levels above Peña and a retired Szczęsny regardless, so you're not making the point you think you are. This is a massive...

What do you mean not really? Not really that mats had his best season ever and was player of the year in la liga that year? Or that we have Peña and a retired goalkeeper we wouldn't have signed in his prime. Because all of that is true.

Seems to be conveniently forgotten by the usual crowd we're missing a goalkeeper who had his best ever season (won player of the year in la liga) when we won the league with Xavi. Now we're calling goalkeepers out of retirement who in their prime we wouldn't have had as first choice.

People need to grow up and stop seeing criticism and concern about a players form as some vicious attack on a player. So boring, why not instead argue against the points made, if x person thinks he's not very good at something, point out that he recently showed a high level in this and that they...

Think now that we're actually playing top football and looking like we can compete against anyone, it's become apparent Gavi is just plain average in a lot of ways. He was a useful guy to have around when there were lower expectations and the guy he was fighting with for a position was either...

Can pretty much walk through the Real Madrid midfield and right hand side

Not very similar really, a younger Lewa when he was already pretty old is significant. A fit De Jong, Busquets who offered experience in midfield, something we have none of now. Flick has had to reinvent the midfield altogether. Olmo has been injured half the time. Inigo has been our best...

We've dropped 6+ points from players missing piss easy chances, we've also dropped some points by being overly aggressive when we didn't need to. Unfortunately people with agendas on this forum make out all points were dropped for the latter. As a result there can be no genuine discussion...

We just need our goalkeeper to win player of the season, then we'll win the league.

Ter Stegen out injured means we'd be in no better position if Xavi was still here, he was heavily reliant on him having the best season of his career to win the league. The guy won player of the season in la liga.

That sounds absolutely idiotic, we don't need MORE play acting in football ffs. Should be if a player goes down holding their head (knowing the ref has to stop the game), VAR checks if his head was touched at all, not saying delay the game, just check in the background. If it wasn't then they...

Often see him in midfield setting the tempo, dropping deep to take the ball off the defenders, then stretching the pitch with a long ball. Or he's the one making the run to stretch the pitch, allowing the more intricate players the space and time. Works his arse of defending and pressuring the...

Bellingham looks like he can't stand Mbappe, visibly frustrated with his constant fuck ups. Not sure what his role even is in this team except that he is Mbappe and therefore must play

siiuuuuuuuu

hahahah mbappe

Yup looked so much worse without Busquets, nothing to do with being injured all the time, and midfield teammates being injured all the time or just straight up shit like Romeu. Oh and fielding Christensen in midfield. 0 credit for winning the league the season before though despite having most...
