tiki's dead at Barca quit making shit up
Anyone still complaining about Flick's "poor defensive tactics" needs to watch how every player from that back line directly passes the ball to opponents. They are hands down the worst bunch ever since I followed Barca (early 90s).
Kounde, Balde, Cuba, Martin. Pick any random La Liga defenders and odds are you are improving Barca defense.
Flick is a genius to navigate this team to this success and needs to be appreciated.

Flick is within his rights to demand a riskier play style. If you play as a defender for Barcelona, as a starter no less, you should be far better than what we have in the squad.
Even without the high line these defenders are simply too average.
The entire backline is bench material. There's a mix of complacency and lack of quality there. If we make 3 signings in defense for money, not oldies or rejects, there's a good chance all 3 of those players would step into our first 11, possibility of landing flops excluded.
I am expecting the better days where we can actually focus on making a leap of quality in defense also, not just in attacking positions.

Same. I never rated Cubarsi high, but Balde is the biggest disappointment. All his speed and for nothing. As dumb as they get.

It's gotten to such a bad point that we are in the position we wish we had two Eric Garcias. One to use as DM and another to use in the backline. Heck, make it 3.
This 4pts lead is hanging by the thinnest threads. Some inspired Pedri passes, Raphinha's leadership and Yamal's gung ho style. Football is lacking. Our star players are elevating a bad collective play for me.

Sign him at least one defender of his wish. That's the least Deco and Laporta can do for him after letting Inigo go without replacement.

My team except attack at this point would be:
------------------Garcia
Garcia - Garcia - Garcia- Garcia
‐------------Garcia- Pedri
I'm not even kidding and I don't really rate Eric that much (not like he is WC). Others are just so shit.

Shouldn’t it be 44?
I understood that we were 6 points ahead compared to last season before this game.

We need defenders.
I am sure we can find bargains somewhere in the world like GARCIA

If we go at this pace in second half of the season we should finish well above 90 points, should be enough

I'm not in love with Flick like some but this is really impressive amount of points for a team that had THAT defence and our whole attacking trio from last year in much worse form and with injuries.
A lot is down to La liga being worse than ever but still a very good year from Flick.
