They wouldn't though, those were all the players in frame, most that would have changed is the player beside the ref would be closer to de Jong, but again he would have been covered

Very relevant and is what is being discussed. Same players position differently, we win. Total fuckery you're talking about different players would have made a difference. Best players in history and we are still very likely to concede that. Conceded less goals with 10 men last season.

That happens we don't concede. Deal with it and stop talking nonsense.

Used some S25 ultra Galaxy AI magic to edit this picture. If we looked like this, for that counter, we are all celebrating a CL final Now. Just moved the position of 3 players that were in frame, even with the Martin slip/foul. The cross is covered and any Cut back is covered by de Jong...

Thuram really was a big miss, many here talked positively about him when he was available. He's actually the perfect player for us, He's a LF not a LW. So he could cover Lewa and the wing, which I said back then. But spilled milk

Not blaming de Jong or pedri in this scenario I'm about to play out, but it really shows inexperience and just a lack of tactical/situational awareness from both. After yamal gets the ball and goes on the break, more experience or better players in the double pivot, would have just sat back and...

Exactly so the issue is the system first not the players. Do the best defenders ever reduce the chance of us conceding yesterday in the exact same situation?. yes. But do they reduce it significantly?. No. What does is what I said above and what everyone who I've said who understands football...

RB LW I don't know who, seems nico is out the window. That's all we can realistically look forward to. Scoring goals isn't a problem with flick ball, so I'm not worried about lewa for one more year. We just need to be smarter in defense and rotate more easier in the season, and we should be...

Correct. Love what he's done this season, not even being too critical. But come the fuck on bro, 3 minutes you can't say let's chill and keep the ball or go to the flag. Yamal gets the ball and just slow down and pass it back and around....

Were we leading by 1 with 3 minutes to go?

Close our eyes and imagine two scenarios. 1. Raphinha is back to cover Martin, Cubarsi is in his correct position, pedri/ de Jong is covering the space in front of the box, looking for any runners for them to go with and cover. Martin slips/gets foul. Dumfries gets the ball. Scenario 2...

Not a thing about Barca in all our history suggest we play like that with 5 minutes left. Peak Barca under pep, we aren't doing that with a 1 goal lead, with 5 minutes left. Now you're just living in make belief world. This is HOW flick plays, it's great I love him for it. But it fucked us...

No I've blamed araujo he fucked up, said that already. But the post I just made explains why I'm not jumping on that as the first thing.

I agree with you, except in reverse lol. No defender bar a flick team, would be put in that position to behind with. Cubarsi should have been the one to cut that ball out, but instead he was dragged to the LB position, to do the job raph or a midfielder should have been doing, which is cover...

Doing anything but what we did with 3 minutes left, reduces our chances of conceding by 99% yesterday. No matter who is in the pitch. Who the hell looks to score a goal, when you're up 1 with 3 minutes to go. Dean would make 0 difference yesterday or almost any other defender. The last 5...

You just said absolutely nothing just now to be clear. Literally nothing. How is that comparable to 4 V 4, with a 1 goal led with 3 minutes to go?. 😂 . I can't believe you thought you has me there

Okay so it's settled, you thought it was fine how we sat up to end the game, with 3 minutes remaining. Don't let me see you flip flopping about this 10 minutes from now. Because you're a poster that likes to have his cake and eat it too.

That simply really. Especially the raphinha part. So where raph should have been at that point in the game but withing 5 inches of Martin lol

Okay so now you don't think it was fine we had 4 V 4 with 3 minutes remaining?. Because you've been flip flopping on this since the actually goal happened.

Yea I'm not a fan, but like I said, he's earned his keep for next season. Any thoughts of a LB next season are over.
