Hans-Dieter Flick
I acknowledge the benefits of it, however being this gung ho isn't sustainable. That is why I prefer a more conservative approach which would at least allow for defensive stability. I try not to be pessimistic but I'll hold this position until the end of the season, then I'll determine whether...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
No team dominates all the time, but good teams learn how to suffer well, and conceding high quality chances so often is a dance with the devil on a tight rope. Midblock, low block, second balls, winning your duels, pressing schemes/ triggers are all effective ways to not have the ball and still...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
Chances happen by default is correct, chances happening as often as they do and at the quality they occur is systematic considering our position as a team. My problem as I stated before, is the regularity. You think it's a coincidence that we concede chances the same exact way to any TEAM all...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
All our issues have been defensive and only if I were to nitpick offensively then I would say build-up. So playing a team like Getafe where it would be difficult to score doesn't ring an alarm bell to an issue the way the Newcastle game would. I will never be okay with allowing high quality...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
Newcastle and Rayo are good but not great teams, Rayo much less than Newcastle. I can acknowledge they are good teams and still not expect us to concede the quality of chances we concede so often. I'm fine with saying that we will suffer or we won't be as dominant against Newcastle/Rayo as we...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
I agree and understand that a keeper making saves should be seen as a given, especially in a Champions League game but the quality of shots we allow to any team we play indicates that it is a defensive issue. Football is really simple, you want to maximize your shots to score goals and minimize...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
Considering we had no Balde or Lamine, a win vs Newcastle any way how is good, but we still are having problems with switches of play and deep runners. If it weren't for Joan, a more clinical team would have had us down about 2 after the first 20 minutes. The same issues are still here from...- Jozh

8 - Pedri
Re-watched the game and I truly appreciate his on the ball tempo and rhythm, however he isn't as defensively sharp and nippy as he was last season and it hurts us considering he is at the base of the midfield right in front the backline. I noticed a lack of tenacity in areas where it needed to...- Jozh

Pedri was excellent and killing and controlling the tempo of the game. Him and De Jong as a duo have technical quality and connection in abundance.- Jozh

With how he's started he might become one of the best goalkeepers I've ever seen. Box control nullified Newcastle's main strengths and with the ball the man is a marksman. This guy is incredible.- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
This response is incredibly asinine to me but you honestly don't see a problem with a system that "naturally gives away big chances" in a team with ONE good CB (always injured) who can both play highline and box defense? Especially in a team where the highline leader regardless of defending...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
First of all, us being the only team in La Liga that played 3 times away is a terrible excuse to just allow the quality of chances we concede to be allowed. You don't go to an away ground knowing that the team will want to win and accept that the frequent and high quality amount of chances we...- Jozh

Hans-Dieter Flick
High line is too exploitable now, a season was all it took for teams to adapt, and they did, except we haven't. When we first appointed Flick, Bayern fans wrote about his susceptibility to switches of play and the problems it caused. We're seeing that now and he hasn't adapted anything. It is...- Jozh

16 - Fermín López
Selling him or not is such an interesting dilemma for me personally. Fermin has the tenacity and running power to force his way with things, along with the ability to find space and shoot. With him it almost seems like goals come from nowhere sometimes, and that in itself is a very valuable...- Jozh
