Still think it's a motivation issue too. These players just won't press or be as disciplined in the second season. Also, let's be honest, our back four is mediocre compared to most top clubs. Only Kounde would be a starter on other top CL teams.

Is it just me or has quality of LL gone down a lot in the last few years? During Messi years, the Villareal away, Sevilla away, Valencia away (basically all top 10 teams in LL away) would be a tough match for both Barca and RM.

This Chelsea side has looked really good from the few matches I’ve seen. Just unlucky to not have results go their way. I think we will struggle against them in the CL

Team will come out with a fire on their ass, could see this being 5-0 or 6-0

Where is he at the practice videos? Does he work from home?

Returns where? I don't see him ever returning here.

If true, then that's fkn embarrassing. What are these players not doing that the likes of Liverpool, Man City, PSG players do?

was he really trying an Olimpico in that first half corner? I bet Flick was not happy...

I am getting a little concerned that he's not able to motivate this squad anymore. The 2nd half display was shockingly uninspired with no real fight from our players. Flick is too good of a manager to not see things like this. Not a question if he was outclassed or outcoached, more of a question...

more than most teams, including ours.

That's exactly my point, they (as a team) are much stronger than all others right now. Heck their B team alone is probably better than most of Europe's clubs.

Also it's wild to me that Dembele won BD'or. Yes he might've been the player with the best stats in that team but nearly every player in this squad is good. You could make arguments that Mendes, Hakimi, and Vitinha deserved it too. I would argue they have more impact on this team than Dembele...

If there is no collective press, then every team in CL is losing vs PSG. that's a fact. Only Liverpool got close last season and their press ability is only second to this PSG's.

He's barely back from his injury, let's wait and see how this plays out.

I got shitted on for saying Inigo would be a huge loss coming into this season. It seemed like he kept Cubarsi in line last season much like Puyol with Pique. I never understood why we didn't get defence reinforcements (CB and backup LB).

I am sorry, but there is no fkn excuse for our players to not be as fit as theirs when they played the CWC and we didn't. There are no excuses for all 10 players on the pitch to not press. This was getting close to EV levels of Barca in the 2nd half. If you don't work hard, you will lose. If...

They have a very deep squad which can make a massive difference in the later stages of the season. The ATM loss is a one off, Xabi Alonso is a quick learner.

True

Damn man :( Sad news
