Hans-Dieter Flick

[Windhook]

According to the Catalan TMZ, SPORT, Flick is already leaving summer 2026.

We outplayed Chelsea in the first 20 mins, then the first half shifted to Chelsea attacking. Such episodes are typical between equal teams.

Ferran's miss was key and then Araujo's red buried us. If we were 11 vs. 11, it was a different game.

 

[Birdy]

He's too dogmatic with his approach. Needs to be more flexible with his tactics. It's obvious the players especially the defenders are not good enough to play the way he wants them to. So the best approach is to find a solution that suits them, especially in games like these.

Tonight was not on Flick.

Don't try to scapegoat him on a night like this

People need to lay off the manager this time. He played it how he should have. No errors at all. This wasn't like the PSG game. We just got beat by having multiple players produce individual stinkers because they are out of their depth.

Simple as that. High line wasn't even that high. Sometimes you have to adapt expectations and ease off on the manager and accept we are in one of our weaker periods in the club's modern history.

 

[JamDav1982]

Ferran was shite but isnt a starter when all fit.

Lewa is wasting far more money and same issues with him at CF as ever v teams that press high.

He was a complete non entity.

If torres scorerd, Chelsea would still have won. They were significantly better than us in the first half, 11 V 11.

Maybe without the red with sneak a draw but I doubt it

Please explain to me how subpar buildup, mediocre pressing don't influence a perfomance. Seriously. How are these the standards man, I do not understand, this Chelsea team is not good. We managed to make Pedro Neto look threatening bro, explain

 

[serghei]

I don't think it was that onesided in the 1st half. Torres chance was biggest chance until the red.

Torres and Araujo fucked us. When you play like we do, you simply assume players can carry their weight. It's like a chain. Only as strong as the weakest links.

What did we do apart from that?

No
Stop trying to paint a distorted picture to suit your narrative

Chelsea were causing us many problems at the back, but we were causing them too.
It was balanced before the red

Think CL is out of reach this season. He should focus on LL and Copa

 

[Obiaseti]

His stubbornness is going to lead to our assets being devalued. His strategy worked last season because we had the element of surprise, we had good luck with injuries, starting 11 was in form and we had inigo. None of those is true this season. Kind of feel bad for our defenders because they are pretty much being sacrificed here. Not saying they are perfect, far from it but this approach gives them no chance at all. In fact it reflects even more poorly on our attackers if you think about it. We are pretty much doing everything we can to stack the deck in their favor and they still can't score. Squad needs to change for his needs with massive investment or he needs to adapt to what we have at the moment which is a good first 11, an average squad and a few gems here and there.

 

[KingLeo10]

CL is definitely out of reach, but we should try to avoid a beatdown in KOs. That's unacceptable.

 

[serghei]

What did we do apart from that?

Chelsea put pressure but not much apart from that. Shots on target read 1-2 for a good while. Red floored us. Very similar to PSG game. Dominated, but until the red we were in the game and looking dangerous when we broke through.

Games of football depend on details sometimes. Torres scores for 1-0, we don't get down to 10, and it's an entirely different match.

 

[jamrock]

For about 20 minutes minimum,I honestly came remember is going within 25 years of their goal.

At least as far as md and attack is concerned, he didn't have other fit players mate.
Simple as that

Now, if you wanna argue Christensen should have played instead of Araujo, I will hear that, but that's a limited discussion

PS: Chelsea show up in big games. Review all their big games under MAresca to see that
