    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I'm sure it will be more entertaining than Xavi's Barca. Hopefully he connects to the players and they take his ideas on board.

    Realistic expectations: Top 2 la liga CL R16 or QF CDR Win or at least semis Other more abstract expectations: A clear identity. I never could figure out Xavi's core philosophy. Better mentality and physicality Better tactics and ingame adjustments No CL humiliations. Sick of them. If we...

    Injuries and squad depth matter too. Real had Injuries but still won league and CL while we struggled mightily.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Any manager who comes here knows the score. The odds are stacked against them. Poor finances, rival Real getting stronger, politics etc You can't come here and start crying. If Flick can change the culture of the club and make it more open minded to other styles of football, that in itself will...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I'm sure Flick is practical enough to adapt to the squad. However, I feel he will definitely favour the more physical, driven to win players. I'd be surprised if Pedri is first choice. I'm reading reports that he wants Pedri in a similar role to Muller. Muller may be slow but he's smart...

    I'm pretty sure we'll get better football in terms of entertainment. My only question is whether he'll play that high line against better opposition or will he be more pragmatic?

    Yeah, Xavi had a ton of experience at big clubs and won numerous sextuples.

    Jude Bellingham

    This guy is sooooo overhyped by the English media, its cringe. He's a good player but nothing special.

    I don't want to see a 433 anymore. I was hoping he'd sell De Jong and get a proper physical DM. I don't want Kimmich and I think pairing Kimmich and De Jong would be pointless. Better to get rid of the Portuguese guys. This season is make or break imo. We could either progress or fall even...

    Has been an absolute shitshow this second time around.

    Champions League 23/24

    This was the first CL final I missed in 31 years! I just couldn't be bothered to wake up and watch them win yet again. This competition is almost like a showcase for Real ti strut their stuff. It doesn't help that when they're in trouble the refs bail them out or their players manage to find an...

    Ángel Di María

    You rate him higher than Robben? I'd say they're equal. I just can't pick between the two.

    16 - Fermín López

    Well said. Problem at Barca is we've been spoilt by having so many wonderfully talented players who were effective that we think that's the norm. Just because a player is not a great dribbler doesn't mean he's useless. Yes, he's very similar to Lampard. He can look very ordinary at times but...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Cubarsi is still too young and needs to develop in many aspects. As soon as a youth player comes and plays well in a few games he's hailed as the next big thing and the hype train begins. I think Flick will keep him as back up only. I doubt he will be a starter. I think Faye is much better...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Flicks salary is only 3 million a year compared to Xavi's 12 million. 12 million is insane. This club is certifiable.

    OFFICIAL: Hansi Flick is Barca’s new Manager

    Flicks Bayern often bypassed the midfield and passed it straight to the attack similar to MSN. Getting a physical DM and quick left winger are key which us why Kimmich and Nico have been mentioned.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I'll judge him at the end of the season . It's a gamble but at the end of the day you have to try something new. Xavi and Marquez would be more of the same. Xavi struggled tactically and mentally. While a coach can have an occasional meltdown, his was almost every game. It sets a bad example...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    First coach I'm excited about since Lucho. The rest have been all underwhelming, even Valverde.
