Luis Enrique

[Temptation]

Not so long ago Lucho could barely make Spain score, and also went to pens with Maroc.

He absolutely needs the personnel.

Flick would cook with Lucho's budget.

Lucho would shit the bed with Flick's (complete lack of) budget.

Does anyone think Lucho can replicate his PSG success here??
Personally, I doubt it. The full backs he currently has are impossible to find or duplicate. It's almost as if Hakimi and Mendes are 4 players instead of 2. That's just for starters. He has immense squad depth and an unlimited transfer budget. That's not happening here. Once he sees the issues we have up close he would turn into Grumpy Lucho again.

Zero chance.

In fact I would be surprised if he even did better than Flick.

Lucho has spent a ton of money at PSG. He wouldn't get anywhere near that capacity here. Imagine spending 150m on duds like Kolo Muani and Ugarte and being able to write it off like it is nothing? At Barca, it would put the club into another financial crisis.

He inherited Hakimi and Mendes but basically signed a completely new team aside from that.

Flick's got his faults (as does Lucho) but people would be delusional to believe that if Flick had the opportunity, that he wouldn't for a second hesitate to sign a whole new backline, replace Lewa with a world class #9, sign a decent RW option off the bench etc...

Stop with this non sense, if Enrique is coaching this exact teams he's getting the exact same results as Flick or better.

Hell are you talking about, have you seen our XI, flick isn't playing with scrubs.

We have a top 4-5 squads in Europe period.

Enrique was just cooking up something with Spain that they were ready for, freaking rodri at CB 😂.

His mind works in 5D.

This myth that flick is playing with scrubs has to stop, PSG And Liverpool after spending 400m+ is the only team with a bigger squad than us right now.

That XI we put us yesterday was just as good or better than the one PSG played on paper, and that's a undeniable fact.

That with 3 starters missing, and 2 squad players (gavi and fermin).

We could still field an XI that was better or equal to what PSG had, on paper.

But on the field the better coach won, simple as that

Before Flick came here the story was also that he can only do it with a shitload of money and a team full of stars at Bayern, now he is some miracle worker who can do it with anybody and without funds. Not exactly, he got La Masia kids that PSG/Lucho didn't get and many stars bought two seasons earlier.

I think Lucho's success would be similar or better, he's just a better manager who is able to match Flick's ofensive output but without the chaos in defense and with much more control and pausa. Perfect for our next manager.

Relax. It's simple.

Normally managers get rewarded with a decent transfer budget at the end of a successful season at a big club.

A fast, physical CB would help his system a lot. As would a bit more squad depth. Doesn't mean the existing squad isn't great but it can certainly be improved.

Flick deserved some money this summer to strengthen some of the weaker areas in the squad. Not sure how this is a hot take?

He had 1 fast CB and 1 physical CB on the bench yesterday and chose not to use them.

When he had the perfect profile back line for his system at Bayern, he conceded basically the exact same number of goals with Bayern as he did with us in the league.

Flick issues isn't the personel he will always concede goals, that's the trade off with his system.

He got a goalkeeper and a back up LF, which was our biggest need, as he himself literally said.

Yeah… a narrow loss against a team which has spent an absolute fortune on luring in the very best players VERSUS a manager whose club has barely spent a penny on new players during his tenure, much less a penny on players the manager himself wanted, yet won LL and reached the CL semifinal last season while player highly attractive champagne worthy football.

Flick was born to manage Barca. 😁

This is not about who plays the best football and wins trophies while on a budget. Otherwise there are managers from lower teams that might be better.

At this point in time PSG is a better team then us and they showed it. Easy to hide behind statements like "narrow loss" when in fact we got outplayed after we scored.
