Hans-Dieter Flick

[serghei]

Anyway, if there's something Flick earned is the right to play it his way to the end. We will see in june if there's progress or we are worse than at the same point last year.

Season is early, and last season we overcame even a worse period. But we need to recover very quickly.

 

[Devils]

Relax.


If there is anyone I trust in Barca it's Flick. He will do the necessary .

Flick definitely needs to adjust some parts of his game but he isn't the main problem.

The squad is poor and that lies on Laporta and Deco.

@khaled_a_d said it right, the current squad did overachieve last year because of Flick but there was always going to be a time when the deficiencies were going to catch up to him if they weren't addressed.

Defence was our weakest line last year and this year it only got worse. It needed to be addressed last summer. It was/is only a matter of time until Flick wasn't going to be able to squeeze anymore juice out of the lemon lol.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if this season is a failure and he walks at the end of it.

100 %

It's his philosophy and I don't agree completely with it.

We saw it against Newcastle, which is the best example. Attack and attack when you can simply waste time with frontline fouls.

We saw it again today, why settle for 3-1 when we can score? Flick is simply not pragmatic, but fanatic about being involved in scoring till the final whistle.

and thats why we love him

 

[vinni]

Flick knows the defence is not going well. Reason why the CB has changed every game or other game so far this season.

i read a recent interview with him where he commented on why he was rotating the backline.

He said it was because they wanted to use different profiles for different types of matches.

Not sure if he really meant it though. Its not obvious for me who is our best CB pair this year.

 

[serghei]

The squad not being improved much since 2022 is on that fucking rat Bartomeu and the decade of shite finances he left behind as a farewell gift to all the fans.

 

[Obiaseti]

He's bogged down by the squad and injuries. 2 of the goals came right at the end after we got demoralized by the misses and threw everything at it. Normally we should have won this 3-2 if we took our chances and we wouldn't have needed to play suicidal.

 

[jamrock]

Bro averages 39 league goals conceded across 3 full seasons.

2 of those seasons, with a backline tailor made for his type of football.

Some people CBs are the problem, smh. Facts don't matter.

just let the man cook and accept we will concede a shit ton of goals while he's our coach.

But when the Midfield is shit and gives us absolutely nothing, which has been the case in all of our bad performances this season, can't expect miracles.


What we really miss is prime Casado
We also can't play without both raphinha and yamal, one it's okay, two we have little chance

Per usual eventually will end up saying what I said before

 

[Windhook]

The short bench is the problem. We have 15-16 quality of players out of 28 squad. Most of them are injured or injury-prone.

Same with club finances. I think the club is overachieving in this climate and I should not complain. This is our optimum.

I would bitch about otherwise if Barca had the buying power and aura of the greatest club in the world, which no longer applies.

 

[serghei]

Seems a bit over the top to blame the squad vs teams like Sevilla though. We should beat Sevilla with Torres and Rashford instead of Yamal and Raphinha.

Rayo and Sevilla should absolutely not create so many chances against us. No way.

We should be able to control the games far better than we did. We should wonder how come both Rayo and Sevilla played their best matches this season by far vs us.

We lack our players with pace to recover ball higher.

Olmo compromises mf.

Stunning revelation by Horatio
Deep insight as per usual.

Lost puppy without Your master, sad.

What are your suggestions to get prime Casado back? He doesn't crumble when pressed and the situation gets difficult

"We’re a good team, and the players are coming back. We have to take this positively. I’m pleased with the second-half reaction," Hansi said after the game.


"I don’t think it’s a problem with the system or the strategy. We’ve made big mistakes. We always play the same way. We can talk about many things today. Our performance in the first half wasn’t good. In the second, yes, we reacted well. I said that after the game against PSG.


We have to learn from that one and now from this game. I’m looking at them in a positive light, and hopefully, after the international break, we’ll come back stronger. We lost, we accept that. But we’ll be back. We have to maintain this energy and this anger for the rest of the season."
Flick also welcomed the upcoming international break, seeing it as a chance to get some of his injured stars back while others can enjoy a much-needed rest.

"The break is good for us. It allows the players to play with their national teams and have a different environment. I think it’s going to be good for them," he added.

"And when they return, I’ve already told them, we’re going to work hard to get back to our level — the level we want to play and be at. That’s the important thing. We need some players at their peak."

 

[serghei]

We have the players to beat these teams. We were just very slow and bested in intensity by Sevilla. How to prevent looking this tired is on Flick and the players to figure out.

We better find answers, and quick.
