It's an obvious one. The margin of error is much much higher against best sides.
Of course, there is a bit of a big issue when we are in the VAR era and Nuno Mendes does not get a second yellow. Then minutes later Marc Casado gets a yellow for practically nothing.
The style creates situations like this, yet you don't get rewarded for example it it is forgotten.
That can't be glossed over when saying it doesn't work against the best sides for example.
That aside, Thierry Henry, mananging in club football, without a high line.
49 games
14 Wins
8 Draws
27 Defeats.
So, um, yeah.

He talks too much, let him prove himself as a manager before he says anything 🙃

Humble guy
I dont like Thierry since 2014/2015. He should stay calm and trust Hansi. He thinks we forgot his Monaco days as coach.

If fans can have an opinion without achieving anything in the sport, I'm pretty sure Thierry Fucking Henry can confidently have his opinions on the game.
Come on man!

Henry isn't the brightest and merely parotting EPL pundit catch phrases. Great athlete but no brains. Does he think Flick invented the high line last season at Barca? Pictures of Manuel Neuer standing 20 meters outside his box was a meme at some point and as far as I recall they were pretty successful.
Funnily enough, Pep's Barca also played a super high line. People already forgot? Making the pitch small and fitting every player in the opponent's half was a trademark.
Pause at 30:16 for example. Puyol is touching the center circle.
Our players right now are just not at that level. Outside of Yamal, Pedri, De Jong, Rafinha (with last season's form) and possibly now the new GK, the rest is completely exchangeable and even Pedri and Yamal are way too young to cary entire Barca hopes on their own.
I doubt anyone does better with these players and finances right now. Maybe Klopp if given enough time but he wouldn't control possession against this PSG either.

It's near impossible to upgrade on Flick. Pep doesn't want to come back and said it repeatedly, Lucho is involved at PSG for years more, Klopp unlikely as well, we need to stay on board with Flick and hope he improves together with the players. He is a very young manager. He has what experience in club football, 4 seasons? Lol.
We are asking of him to be among the elite, most of the others we could get don't even reach this possibility in the first place.
He needs to learn and benefit from Barcelona philosophy also. It could elevate him as manager and help him reach a superior level. Study managers like Pep, Luis Enrique, and take elements from them while integrating some of those elements into his own coaching style.
The two oil teams City and PSG trusted ex-Barca legends and managers to use their billions for a reason.
That said, top tier managers don't grow on trees. They are in very scarce supply, and upgrading on Flick is simply not possible atm.

You're welcome
Don’t forget biggest reason being none of those coaches would want to helm a project where they can’t spend crazy.It's near impossible to upgrade on Flick.
