Hans-Dieter Flick

Huge W. But this poor man can't even rotate cuz B players are so bad.

 

[Richard.H]

He needs a serious assessment of our bench/rotation players and whether they are good enough. Lots of analysis required in the off season. It's not acceptable for these players to play worse than Juvenil A.

Huge Win.

This guy is working miracles with a bum bench.

You mean having the team play like total crap and then sub in our best players to save it?

So manager does his job by making the right subs then?

Exactly.

He can't do anything about the bums in the team. Only hope of winning titles was to overplay this squad. It's clear now. If we don't massively improve the squad, the rotation solutions need to be early subs when leading.

We need to almost always start with the strongest team or close to that even vs bottom league sides, and make early subs no matter if players want to stay on to up their stats. This solutions is the only one that can work.

Spot on sir.

 

[jamrock]

Agreed. He should have kept those bums in the freezer permanently. Only thaw them out before you ship them.

3/10.

You can do better, I hope.

Was not a joke. The more you play these players the more difficult it will be to cut them from the squad. 2-3 games like this one for Ansu Fati, and he'll be collecting his money here until the end of his contract.

Because even Saudi teams will realize he's worth nothing.

Think of it logically. You could maybe sell Ansu if you frame it as he's unhappy with his role. The more he plays, the more difficult selling him will become.

A treble with no bench and 17 year old Lamine leading the lines....is something you can't even imagine.

Which is why I think we'll fall just short and end up with domestic treble. But who knows.

I still can't imagine it. Too much fairy tale dust surrounding this possibility. It looks far away. Will probably need to see it done to think it's possible.

 

[KingLeo10]

If it happens we are blessed.

Fans of other clubs go through a whole lifetime without seeing insane achievements...for Barca fans....

2009 treble
2011 european double
2015 treble

2010 WC
2008 and 2012 Euros
2024 Euros
2022 WC

Spoiled and blessed.

Flick: “We had planned for Pedri and De Jong to play 45 minutes. We would have liked for Raphinha and Lamine to have fewer minutes.”

 

[Messi983]

Too many of these press conferences. Bet it's the most annoying part of the job. Pre-match, post match, games every 3 days.
Has handled them well though. Minimum complaints, always respectful, never boastful.

Hang in there Hansi. Few more games left.

Yeah, poor lad for doing his job.
