Hans-Dieter Flick

[Devils]

This PSG win definitely reflects poorly on him, but he's excused by our injuries and 1st season for now. I also think we need to play 3 true midfielders next year and not a #10 (Olmo/Fermin).

I mean it wasn't just PSG. The Inter team that played in the CL up until the final was a completely different team.

Scandalous performance today but no way was this the same level team that eliminated Bayern and Barca.

They also didn't win their League (a rather weak one at that). Inter was never all that.

Then again we scored 6 fuckign goals against them Flick needs to do some soul searching.

Nah. Poor dig at Flick.
Now go back and jerk off to Xavi "football" you masochist.
You know, saved by GK, raped by Frankfurt and average point wank off.

This is Flick's first season with a wafer thin squad.

Give him time and a few good transfers and he'll sort it out.

The improvement is pretty obvious. Needs a fast and strong CB and more depth.

No dig. Didnt want to offend you

Flicks great. I love him.

This PSG win definitely reflects poorly on him,

It also reflects poorly on Pep's treble winning City who more or less same team outplayed 2 years ago in a CL final

Inter tonight played the worst football under Inzaghi, by far. And after the 2nd goal they didn't look like they believed in any sorta comeback either

5-0 in CL final is bad for reputation but Inter is not some clueless team. We should have gone through for sure but they aren't piss easy as PSG made it look

Flick will probably improve the team further but he also won't get a Benfica-Dortmund-Inter path to the final every season so this was a golden opportunity missed

Current Barça can beat any team over two legs, or at least come close to achieving that

Unless we get some horror shit like 14/15 draw I think we'll be ok, but even then we won the treble lol. When opponent level increases so does yours

 

[jamrock]

Only thing I would add, is it's not as much inter playing like shit, as much as it's PSG made them look like shit.

They literally had no answers

Unlike against kompany and flick, who's tactics gave them ways to attack and damage them, they simply didn't have that option today.

0 goals, compared to 7, I don't remember much they scored against bayern, maybe 5.

Tells its own story.

The football Enrique was playing today, is the best I've seen in a few years and generally this season with PSG.

 

[draconifire]

We put past 3 against Inter with a grueling schedule, thin squad, and injuries.
Blame Deco, board, and a tag bit Flick on the squad fatigue. Any better running club would have gone past Inter.

Hopefully, we won't make the same mistake this season. There are some positives, but it feels like we are going on the same path as last year.

He won't win the CL if he doesn't sort out his defensive issues as a manager though. Look at PSG, created boatload of chances, scored 5, missed 2-3 easy goals more, and did all that without being ultra-frail in defense and with no suicidal tactics.

Lucho exposed a bit the entire foundation of Flick's football where you need to play extremely risky in defense to attack efficiently and relentlessly. You can do both. PSG just did and gave Inter no chance.

This goes beyond just players. Squad discussion is a big topic, but Flick, if he wants to be among the best of the best (which is a very big goal and already big credit to him), has some improvements to do as well.

From don't expect anything with this set of players to criticising for not getting a treble.

It's only criticism if Flick's ambition is to be among the best of the best. He is still a top manager based on what he showed already at Bayern and Barca. In fact, I'd only put Pep and now Lucho above him at the moment.

Hats off to Luis Enrique for what he's done with this PSG side, but it's undeniably easier to have your players press relentlessly, play like demons, and stay injury-free when you've basically wrapped up your domestic competitions months in advance. It's not really fair to compare that with a tired and decimated Barça team in the semis.


If there's a lesson for next season, it's to rotate more (if that's even possible with such a thin squad) and to plan the season so that we hit our dip in form earlier and peak around April/May.
