Hans-Dieter Flick

[Birdy]

Probably robbed again by mighty Girona, eh Birdy? Otherwise performance was tip-top

Nice try to create a strawman

No it was a bad game we did not deserve to win

Nothing to do with the games we were discussing, on which you took your huge L

Girona doing same as others.. go wide and attack likes of Kounde/Balde who cant defend or play ball through to defence spread out.

 

[serghei]

I don't think we are anywhere close to 'handshake' point yet though. We're 2 points behind in the league and finished top8 in the CL group stage.


Under current constraints winning a major title every 2 seasons is enough to ask for so one trophyless season, if it is (which I don't think so, there is tons of football left to be played) is not enough to sack a manager.

We aren't. If we react. It was a big shock seeing us absolutely trashed in one half by Simeone. So, we're at a point where we can still change things if we don't assume this is just an innocent little bad spell and we're fine.

It's way more than that. Time for harsher measures and for Flick to maybe look at his tactics with more self-criticism.

He's honest, at least.
I wish he'd try something different in defence. Pull Kounde to the middle, Araujo to the right.

What he has to do is do something about how we control the game. He's doing piss poor job at setting the tempo of the game. Everything is chaotic and disorganized, mindless running with no order and purpose.

Pedri is the controller and organizer. With him out there is hardly any tempo or creativity.

He's not, and even with him too often we looked chaotic, unable to control the tempo of the game. He may be a German manager and don't value this enough, but he should, and he's been thought a lesson that if you give spaces to even mid table sides from La Liga, they will run you ragged.

He really gonna lose the league to Arbeloa?

Come on.

You still counting big chances vs Chelsea?

Sad smh

Joke is nice, but even this Madrid with this pedestrian midfield, have several higher quality players compared to us in some very important positions. We don't have a fullback like Carreras, a box to box like Valverde... a striker like Mbappe and so on.

Probably it's between who bails out of CL first. Both teams look unconvincing so the CL distraction is better to be avoided if league is a priority.

Unfortunately, it's not fixable by just switching positions and changing some players.

Pretty smart comment.

They can play like garbage, but have the ref or some individual magic bail them out.

Likes of Lewa, Kounde Casado and Araujo should have been punted last summer.

All said at time but the club keep/renew them and are happy to pay Lewa who cant run 25m a season.

If Flick wanted them all to stay its on him also.
