    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Great - means we are on track for a league win and will not get grouped in the CL either.

    Vitor Roque

    What's important is that he's getting into a lot of scoring positions, which is the main thing you look for from strikers in terms of potential. He may be missing those big chances but the fact he's got the skills to get into position for a lot of big chances means that if his finishing...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I think what seems to have happened is Nayef stood on Lewandowski's boot and squished the front end of it, enlarging it, and that is why VAR got confused or the position is hard to model? Agree with you their decision was way too quick given the low quality of the evidence produced. Either...

    There is a patch of green boot in the area you highlighted as Nayefs boot. I'm not saying you are wrong but it's true that this is not that clear from this angle.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Djimsiti is my countryman, his rise has been incredible. Started from the Swiss league and didn't play in a top league till about 25/26. In fact, he wasn't able to get a place in our Euro 2016 squad (a decision heavily criticised at the time though). Now he's being mentioned as one of the...

    La Liga Round 13: Sociedad - Barca 1-0

    It's clear that the foot was incorrectly replicated, because if you look closely, in the replica, his foot is like half a meter long. If this was technology, that tech needs to be removed permanently, if it was human error, they shouldn't be refereeing any more in LaLiga. Let's see what happens.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I hope so, it's about time we became more cynical with protecting our players given how many injuries we've had recently. My only concern is it would require the player to be involved, but to be fair, something more vague like muscular fatigue is also a valid reason to rest a player and I...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Ah, I didn't get what you meant at first, I didn't see there was an injury announcement today, it's strange they would post so late. In that case injury would be most obvious reason, no point speculating about if it was a lie or not because we can never know.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Usually putting someone in the stands doesn't happen unless they're either injured or it's a disciplinary measure, because if Yamal was fit to play a little he would keep him on the bench at least to sub him on towards the end. So I agree with Barcaman that whatever happened there is probably...

    Joan Laporta

    Hopefully Laporta and the club will publicly demand explanations for the VAR debacle today because it's genuinely hard to explain how a 3d recreation can be that wrong. I struggle to believe in conspiracies usually but that image is absolutely laughable and those who created it to annul that...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I don't think it is that simple, and I definitely don't think any manager of a top club plans to win 1-0 every game, that is pathetic. It's also important for the confidence and chemistry of the players that they know how to attack and combine to score because that leads to sustainable...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He scored a very clearly legal goal, so I am not going to trash him for today as the comments would be very different if it had been allowed surely. The game opens up after that.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    If Xavi was manager, would you be mentioning how Yamal was injured and they stole a legit goal from us? I think so, even under Xavi legitimate red cards by the players were excuses for the losses. This was a bad game but I wouldn't make too much of it because I don't think the team is as before...

    La Liga Round 13: Sociedad - Barca 1-0

    That VAR decision is genuinely insane. https://x.com/ArchivoVAR/status/1855729367885795651 They literally created the 3d replicas of the players incorrectly, they thought Lewandowski's arm was Nayef's :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: Incompetence or corruption, whichever, this is absurd in a...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He's just nice to them, I think that's basically it. A lot was made about Xavi's relationship with the players but the reality is that he was blaming them for the losses after most games and you could see him shouting abuse at the players from the sidelines every so often. In particular there...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    As Khaled says, 20m is just a number put out there by his team most likely. He would never find this in Europe, 12m-15m is a very good estimation for his best case scenario. Also correct to say he is being underrated. A lot of people calling him average, but the reality is the...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Birdy always gets bullied here for his takes, but the reality is he took a mega W here, and he has a unique perspective worth listening to on certain things. I respect his view on tactics specifically a lot and I think his opinion on tactical matters is one of the best here. Everyone has their...

    Commensurate to the quality of the respective Barca teams... we have Raphinha, Lewa and Yamal, and that one had Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    You make a good point. Things change constantly in football, and maybe we drop this tactic later and then there's a place for him.
