    Raphina sucked under Xavi despite any goal contribution. He looked like a lost child out on the touchline, unable to dribble, unable to do what the braindead Xavi thought he could Everyone remembers, everyone impartial will confirm Stop trying to push narratives and agendas. Only Flick found how...

    True Which makes it even worse for Kounde-Balde starting FB pair, since at least Balde is not available half of the time

    I explained it already: Raphina sucked under Xavi for 2 years. Coach's fault of course, but that sets apart WC from merely top players Isak killed it at all levels he played so far. If he does it again at Pool, he is certified WC

    Plus all of these: Arsenal: Timber and Calafiori Madrid: Trent and Carreras Bayern: Laimer and Davies Even Spurs have Porro/Udogie. Not sure Kounde/Balde is better The only two top teams that have problems in FBs are currently Liverpool (Frimpong/Kerkez) and City (kids like O Rially and Rico...

    You forgot how RAphina played under Xavi, when all of us were cursing him? Short memory... There are players like Raphina that can shine when a coach plays them CORRECTLY in the right system, and there are players like Lamine and Pedri that will shine no matter the system and the coach. Big...

    Agree. Essentially play a 3rd CM, make Raphina the AM, and drop the striker altogether That should be the way to go against top teams without changing anything in Flick;s core principles. Doesn't exactly suit the squad, but with Olmo's form and the need for more compactness against top sides...

    It is fairly simple. If that fat fuck fucks us up AGAIN, and keep lying, and we are not in the 1:1 in January (when the Crowe audit is completed), then Flick has good reasons to walk He has been given peanuts as transfers for 3 windows in a row.

    4 is more than 2 And then there is the issue that at Barca we rely on our academy products, like Cubarsi and Balde which can be good, but many times they are not as good as the top (even not world class) players of the top 7 teams in the respective positions

    Not at all AGAIN. You could say the exact opposite: Flick should add more intense pressing to reach the levels of PSG's press we saw last season... Problem is: you need all 10 outfield players to do that. Last season with granny uptop, we could not. That's why Flick was trying schemes such as...

    Right now all of PSG, RM, Liverpool, Arsenal, City, Bayern have better squad than us, and I would add Chelsea as well Count (all of you) how many world-class (not just good) players we have that could be said to be able to slot into an XI of another top team. IMO only 2: Pedri and Lamine...

    Not at all. You take an instance (of a mistaken really application of pressing principles) and you generalize

    It was a covid year for everyone genius, and Flick was destroying anyone that season in as many legs as you want. There was no team able to stop him that season. Klopp's Liverpool would put in a fight, but most likely they lose too. I don't get why so many try to underestimate one of the...

    We played with triggers last season, we were not pressing the whole pitch and all the moments. Problem is we went from that to no pressing or barely pressing this season

    No you want him to change completely. I have told you so many times, and you don't seem to get it. Coaches do not change their philosophy when results go south. Especially WC coaches that have won it all

    Running and pressing are preconditions of the high line. I am sure it's complacency because there is no fatigue (no summer tounrament, season just started), and because we all saw how it can work last season when players play intensely

    has been answered so many times. Flick is not an NT coach, but club coach Covid season is BS. Bayern were tearing apart every team that season in as many legs as you want

    Balde came on, and Lamine is not as intense in defending. It's not personnel related. WIth the exception of PEdri-Frenkie and maybe Ferran, the others are not putting the effort needed regardless of their talent

    The ones that are not injured? Surely it's not fatigue. Then the reason is prob attitude/mentality and has nothing to do with physical demands

    Yes, I remember very well you hid like a rat last season You and El Rato, the most cowards in here
