I think having so many away games to start this season has hurt but we have also had a lot of moments where we were careless with the ball. Careless passes and such creating unnecessary pressure on the midfield and backline
The scrappy games are dangerous for Barca players and they know it very well. There is no protection from the referees unless it's Lamine. Lewandowski has been getting nailed in the back for 2 years right in front of the referee and it has been called maybe twice. THAT is the big problem not the style of play or will to win. Non calls change momentum and referees have been busted for cheating hundreds of times so it is a reality
As a fan I’m noticing a lot of fear mongering from the fans. The team is not doing bad, yes they are not doing as well as they did when Flick started but it’s his first season in charge, it’ll take time to implement all of his ideas. Also, the fans have to support their players. Regardless if it’s FDJ, Kounde, Gavi, Ferran etc. support your team through the good and the bad moments. It’s that simple
You self righteous fans who think are better and are complecent in this Barca trophy drought situation, we not playing that bad as if teams in the league will feel empthetic towards that and give us the trophy. Personally I am tired man, I honestly do not mean to offend you in anyway and hope this is just ball talk between heaten fans. But dont we deserve happiness ? I am thinking of stopping watching and see at the end of thr season
You spike my mind bro its horrible season after season we keep having the same results, some of those players don't deserve to wear that badge @@NdinguAnda
I am amazed by the short-term memory of our fanbase. It’s amazing that people start panicking, hating players and coaches every time we get a not-so-good performance. It’s like to be the best team in the world, we can’t lose or draw any game, or even play some bad games here and there. Like wtf?! Not even Guardiola’s best team, arguably the best team in football history, was perfect or winning every match. Flick made you so ungrateful, by giving this amazing start of the season, that a bad spell now and people start searching for reasons, problems, players to blame, coach or club to blame. For God’s sake, keep your calm! Be men! Stop overreacting to wins, draws, or loses!
The ONLY time that we can actually critic and breakdown a team, a club or a coach is when the season finishes! Watch Pena before and after! When Flick kept using him, while people were cursing him, you all were shouting! Now, all of a sudden you guys praise him for the long-term strategy of giving Pena confidence, by playing him consistently! Have some faith!
Yeah thats one thing I actually hate about our fanbase ngl I do now and then from time to time but some of them over do it don't get me wrong there is a time where you should start questioning players and coaches but sometimes either they just need time or just accept a lost or bad performance for what it is and move on for instance for the past few years I'm sure not a sole at city especially when it came to the prem questions pep for more than probably1-2 days after a game and return to normal and what has he shown each season...results now you could say its cause he is one of the best but still
It’s not our fanbase, it’s the New influx of kids that are fans of Lamine Yamal that have just now started to Watch football and Barcelona, those that say: I cried when we scored the fourth against Bayern and so on… those who remember the Rijkaard, Guardiola or Luis Enrique days, we know that it all comes with time and patience
@farukzunic816 What that supposed to mean 😑( idk if I fall in that age group but if I do then it's not all of us) so like from 12 go down right cause I know enough about football to act like a dumbass like that about things like that I was always just a chill guy too so
1. We need more quality depth: LW, LB/RB and CB. 2. Too many games are a direct result of the starting 11 not being as intense as the first few months of the season. 3. Tactics or a plan B. When we are being pressed relentlessly, we struggle, and a big gap is created between our front 4 and the midfield. Olmo at times should drop deeper to act as that link between the midfield and attack. Too many CAMs and not enough interiors in our squad. Pedri and Casado need help in those moments and de Jong is the only interior we have besides those 2.
Guys, this is a request. Even if we smash Dortmund, please please don’t get carried away by saying things like “Barça are back”. Please stay grounded until we win big trophies. Visca el barça 💙❤️
@@Taurean_SAMA But no, we can’t get carried away. Because if we do, that will translate to our players and the complacency will set in. We need to stay grounded so that the players stay focused.
Always remember we have the youngest team and we still need time to develop.. even tho we don't have a lot of players like real Madrid, but we are still putting up a fight.. we can't blame the team just yet.. it's not easy to play Everytime like that
Dawg, Madrid have legit their whole starting 11 out injured and they are on the verge of surpassing us in the table while we have a full squad. Quit the excuses.
@@PadmeGaveMeHIV first of all rudiger is there, mbappe, Modric ,tchouameni, valverde yes there are players injured but not the whole squad is and second of all they are madrid not barca that refs are going to be against and in the past or starting of the season they won matches just because of penalties
Anyone overly reacting to these temporary down phases has no right to be happy when flicks barca destroys opponents. Flick will surely make plan B and return of Araujo and christensen will be a mega boost for rotations
@@RaFox_17best coaches are like that. Focus in our own strengths instead of shifting our play style based on the opponent. We only need to keep doing what we were doing at the start of the season. That’s it. Sometimes we will lose or draw, it’s acceptable
You are spot on with the quality depth. The amount of games we have to play is mind blowing and it takes a huge toll on the older players. Lewy is good but we need a younger striker to compliment our style of play. Ferran is not the answer. We need to get good wingers so we don’t rely too much on Yamal. Hopefully our finances can be good to strengthen our squad by summer. We need to be patient because we have a good thing in progress in our club now
@ you are right but looking at FFP, don’t get your hopes up. It’s Flicks first season and as long as we see progress, I won’t be upset if we don’t win anything this season. Also there is not much quality in the winter transfer window
Get your facts straight, boy. He has been playing quite a few minutes and had close to no rest. We do not need someone to compete with him rather than someone who is a decent substitute so Kounde gets rest.
@Shgn9 I understand your point very well. But kounde is not the only player in Euro top five that has played most minutes and still maintains some level of consistency
Also, game management. Especially the betis game. We conceded a counter which led to the equalizer while trying to score the third goal instead of just managing the time left
There were many times this season when we've beaten teams so comfortably but barely made any substitutions or given players 5 or 10 minutes. Pau victor is great example of this. Match sharpness is what the younger bench players are lacking. Same goes for torre and hector fort. It could've reduced the impact of rotating and given some needed confidence to those players.
I do believe that the performances are concerning, especially having seen these kinds of patterns for years on end, but I think it's important as fans to just continue to give our faith to the team and the players. The season is long, and full of fixtures, with very taxing games on the body. We have managed injuries, setbacks, questionable refereeing, and yet, we are here. Battling for the top and doing well in the UCL. I believe a lot in energy, and I believe that as fans, if we unite, continue to show faith, and have a confidence like how we did at the start of the season, I know it will help the players, and I know we will come out on top.
Thank you for the kind support my friend! I agree with you absolutely. We must continue to get behind the team and try to get through some of these difficult moments. The season is long, longer than ever in fact! 😂
Some of my thoughts: - Olmo benched until he is fully fit (he could unlock games later on) - Kounde rested more as he seems gassed - Balde not push forward nearly half as much, I would actually rather see Kounde do that. - Inigo was overrated by many of you, I really couldn't see what everyone else saw. - Araujo coming back without issue. I think Araujo will be the difference maker in defence. The issue is by the time he is back fully, Madrid might already be on top and once they are on top they very rarely lose points (for various reasons)
@@badbijan agreeee and also forgot about the UCL we can’t even beat monaco I CAN NAME 10 CLUBS WHO ARE BETTER THAN US AND CAN WIN UCL WE HAVE NO CHANCE BELIEVE ME AND CLIP THIS WE HAVE NO CHANCE TO WIN UCL AND I THINK THE LEAGUE IS OVER WE KEEP SHITTING OURSELVES ITS ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING I CANT HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN THIS TEAM ANYMORE
@aseelgadir, where did you see me say the whole backside, including inigo, isn't to blame? I swear some of you really can't read. Read what was said and my reply again.
This team is like the inverse of the 22-23 season team. That team was good in the league but horrible in the ucl but this team is shaky in the league and good in the ucl(so far)
I think that’s unfair cause in the ucl in 22-23 we had to face bayern and inter home and away where as our only hard game this season would be bayern at home
What I find even more painful is the fact that our sudden drop in Laliga is beginning to make Real and Atletico look good. We were on the verge of blowing them away in the title race.
These players need to remember who they are and how they started the season. These dropped points could’ve easily been hard fought wins with more determination and focus.
@@kallisarthur9798 imagine if we didn’t lose or drew some stupid games….. it would be more enjoyable to watch the rest of league games and we don’t have to worry about other’s who catching up with us i see us finishing 3rd hardly
One of the first things I’d like to mention is that this Barca team hasn’t played with this level of intensity in the recent past. So, it’s normal for them to get tired and lose strength when playing every three days. This team needs time to adapt to this way of playing, and it may take one or two seasons for their bodies to fully adjust to the demands. Secondly, many important players are returning after long-term injuries. They need time to adapt and regain their rhythm. That said, the third point is that Barca needs players who can change games with individual quality. The only one we have right now is Lamine, and the poor guy is just 17. We need to sell a few average or below-average players and invest in a top-quality winger and full-backs.
@@kC-wp1yd i agree with the last paragraph.also we go trophyless again nothing new i already knew it when we lost to osasuna i saw signs i knew this will happen we wont sign anyone good because all the good players are high price and they want to go to either madrid or any team who are invested in the team and want to win no top player will come to barca when we are an embarrassment to football in ucl
To be really honest on Balde. He is good he has quality but his crosses or final third decisions are really low. He needs to work on that, but at the other hand we dont have other options aswell We really need squad depth
Guys chill. I know the team is not performing as good as we want it to be, but that expectation is due to super excellent start Hansi gave us. If you show the table in league and UCL and performances even recently to someone who was in a coma since august, he would take these results very happily. In a long season, it was inevitable that we will have a bad patch. So, just relax. And trust the boss....
In January we need cover for Yamal, cover or competition for Balde, a LF cover for Raphinha, and I actually think we need to sign a pivot to help control the game I think someone like Fabian Ruiz could really help us.
Oh please the problem ain't De Jong at all..Stop this De Jong hate.. The problem is some unworthy ave rage players protected by some fans ; Koundé, Balde, Gavi (he was overrated even before his injury), Lewandowski (If he's not scoring), and obviously Ferran shyte Torres..
Yes along with this a lot of players have dropped their level. If you see the last game we were not able to play out from back. We didn't see anything in midfield. Flick system is great but we need a big squad depth. Else this will not work.
@@Abdullah73901 I swear fans like you are holding us back NGL..How do you watch football??? Koundé?? The guy has the worst touches in football..His ball progression doesn't even exists, so shaky as well.. He's so sluggish..And he always loses the ball when he's pressed every freaking time.. How the heck does he even have fans??? Wtf?? Do you guys watch Dani Alves and pretend it's Koundé or what?! Yamal is the one who makes him look good and even with Yamal he still makes these mistakes
There was a time when Barcelona was not performing well in the UCL but was brilliant in La Liga, we were complaining. Now, we are performing well in the UCL but dropping points in La Liga. We are still complaining, but I think we should give credit to Flick. He has made Barcelona perform well in the UCL once again. Prioritizing the UCL is a smart move because we need the revenue it brings.
My opinion may not be right, but I feel that the coach is making substitutions emotionally. What I mean is that the returning players are not really used to Flick's style. Please use Pau Victor and Pablo Torres more often.
Regarding prioritizing La Liga or CL this is my opinion: I think Flick rates CL higher for now(!). Making the Top8 is crucial. And we are still having really difficult games ahead (Atalanta, Dortmund and Benfica both away). After that is comes down to daily shape and a bit of luck. La Liga on the other hand is more about consistency. Near the end of the season we will have more squad depth (I hope) and more home games as well. And we will play Real at home in the 2nd leg, so there is another chance to widen the gap.
To be playing a high line with defenders that dont have speed will be a problem Jamie with flicks set up nald araújo will shine in that back line if he get bck to top level
It's possible to play like we do every three days, we just need the national team approach. Two XIs capable of winning. Hansi shouldn't change anything about his style, that's why I wanted him here.
I have no idea whats going on with Barca as a whole but i feel that Araujo's return & Christensen is key. The reason is for me Curbasi & Inigo Martinez are doing extremely well right now however we don't have the option of replacing them when we are leading for example. We can't rotate them during the match for the next game cause we don't have anyone who can replace that kind of quality. Maybe for me that's why we fall apart in defence because Curbasi & Inigo are exhausted but i'm aware the problem is far deeper.
The problem with the defenders is real...flick could rotate with dominguez or gerrard martin every other game but he knows they are bad and will only make things worse..when araujo and christensen are back we can all feel safe about our defenders because we know who they are and we know their abilities
Teams have noticed that lewandowski doesn't press and his first touch is getting worse by each game and they take advantage of this.. A new striker who has a good first touch and presses well is what this team needs
The problem with the last game was we looked like last year’s Barca. The play was slow, and there was a lot of passing back to the defence. The goal came when they moved the ball quickly.
I hope we get Nico and Davies at some point this season or the end of it. As of now, we simply need to improve our quality we know our players possess. We are the best, let's polish that up. Visca el Barca
I don't see any issue right now other than the congested fixture list and lack of squad depth. The team is trying so hard considering the age of most of our players we'll be fine as long as December ends in 1st place
There are a lot of factors that should be considered when analyzing this team. My biggest annoyance is that we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot in difficult games. It's not even to say the opposition scored a brilliantly, constructed goal. It usually is that the opposition capitalized on an unnecessary mistake. Away to Osasuna - Flick Rotated too much. Away to Sociedad - Robbed of the first goal in the game, which could have changed how the match went. To be fair, Sociedad played a good game. Away to Celta - Casado red card and the Kounde error (just clear the damn ball). Home to Las Palmas - This was the shocker but there were still clear fouls in the box not called (which is no surprise). Away to Betis - FDJ giving away a penalty and Gavi not clearing the ball up the field in the 94th minute. Explain to me why he is looking to pass the ball 5 yards in his own half to the attacker. I also think the backline needs some rest. The only position being rotated is at LB. It has been the same players essentially for the entire season so far. I am glad it was mentioned because we have had an unusual amount of tough away games back to back. Away to Celta, Sociedad and Betis, typically is difficult. There is literally no team that is always going to play well or win every game. We shouldn't expect Barcelona to blow away teams every week.
The main issue since the start of the season is that the team hadn’t been pressing as much due to fatigue. Second the team has not been holding onto to the ball. They have been sloppy with the ball and it’s been putting pressure on the back line. Flick’s tactics might be tweaked due to the team being played on the day. You’re correct Jaime the priority is the Champion’s League.
6:45 , Huge fan Jamie, but I think I’d have to disagree on this take. I think out of all the players we have at our dispense to bring in, Gavi has been the only one to really stand out and not drop the intensity/level of not just “transition on ball” , but intensity off it. I can agree that his positioning can improve, this will come through minutes. I am on the same, regarding the rest of the squad debt. The rest of the subs we have don’t really bring intensity and rhythm to our games, except potentially Torre in a statistic viewpoint.
We should look at selling Ferran, Eric, FDJ and Gerard. Use that to address the registration of Olmo, buy a striker and buy a LW. Ideally I’d want Gyokeres or Isak. For Lw, it doesn’t have to be big money. I honestly think Leao would be too difficult to secure and to coach. I’d look at la masia. I know there’s still talent to add
After I saw his change against Betis, I knew that he is already prioritizing the champions Ligue , but I believe that we have more chance winning La Liga than the champions Ligue.
I only see 2 things change in the last few games. 1 - Drop in intensity, which is to be expected 2 - Lack of width. Yamal and Raphinha spend a lot time in the middle of the pitch now.
Jamie, I roll my eyes whenever we talk about La Liga/the referees stopping us. We weren't concerned about that when we were scoring 4+ goals every week. We have to be better. In UFC they say: never leave it up to the judges to decide the outcome.
1. Lack of squad depth. Those who came back from long term injury are unable to replicate their past performances, especially Ansu Fati 2. A very young squad. We have the youngest squad by age in La Liga. 3. Tight fixtures and too many away games in La Liga. 4. It is very difficult to sustain Flick's high line with so much intensity and pressure required in players. 5. Lack of a proper Plan B in twitching on the formation.
I know we are all frustrated and not in a good mood but lets give our team the support they need, we were over expecting anyways this is a team that has not spend enough in the last two summers and is relying on school going boys so lets be honest with ourselves and as of now just enjoy when we demolish our opponents and again we can still win a lot of trophies this season
I feel like we lack control periods ie moments where we make the opponents chase the ball by passing it around and thereby allowing our players to rest a little. Flicks system is ALWAYS direct and that means A LOT of running no matter the scoreline which tires players out.
We should bring back Trincao on the buy back clause in January. Get Oscar Mingueza if possible for depth in full back areas. In summer, we should look to sell Frenkie, Christensen, Ansu and Ferran. Sign Tah, Kimmich, Davies and J.David.
Issue of ferran Torres we've hammered it over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be in barca squad. Barca need a left winger, a left back and probably a right back too, and most importantly, a striker
I hear a lot of fans praising Lamal for his game against Betis and rightfully so… he was magical. But no love for Pena. Without his saves, we wouldn’t have even had a point to salvage. He kept us in that game with brilliant saves… for me he was my man of the match.
I think we have quality on the bench, I just think for the last few weeks the whole squad seems like its effort dipped, which is understandable given they play almost every 3 days, they're probably really tired
The problem with the team is that of pride. Most of the players are yet to reach their peak and played lackadaisically and that affect those who are more determined. They most up their game the way Raphinha does and play for each other. For me Flick is doing a good job what he needs is for the players to concentrate and remember that the season is still long and nothing has been won yet.
I think we need a quality leftback and an attacker. I'd go with on the end of their contacts like Tagliafico which the contract ends in the end if the season with Lyon. Different profile than Balde that has had injury problems and needs to carefully rotated. Trust Hector Fort to rotate Koundé. Don't matter if Koundé wants to play every game. Players sometimes are in a good streak and never wanna rest, but they gotta. And if possible I'd go for Omar Marmoush! They say Frankfurt us asking for 40M~60M. I think it's a great opportunity, he can offer REAL squad depth in the attack, already playing in a German style for a while and can be even cheaper than Nico Williams would've been
I appreciate the focus that Flick has made on Champion's League. This is where it matters. This is where history is made. And he's working with a very weak bench. People need to cut this guy some slack. We have at times, a fickle fan base.
@kingfayaiz44 I'm not saying that we will win it. I'm just saying that Flick's heart is in the right place. Playing in Europe and being successful there keeps our status as a world class club. Image is everything.
For sure Real Madrid has always 12 on the pitch. Eleven players+ the referee. Hansi Flick strategy isn't good. His high oress is great but he should understand that we don't have the depth to play like this in every game. Flick should apply different systems, with or without different players in the starting 11. Some matches and situations require a different approach. For last match a 3-5-2 could have been the better more conservative way to play. Three center backs, Balde and Kounde as wing backs. Casado and Pedri controlling midfield, Frenkie attacking midfield pressing with 2 attackers in front of him. Give rest to some important player before CL and give chances to others.
@@stefanstefanescu3202 i agree with you! But to be honest its all start with buying players and selling players when you want to rest yamal raphinia marc pedri cubarsi kounde balde who are the subs??? MARTIN GERRAD + DOMINGUEZ + FERRAN + ERIC + GAVI + FDJ + HECTOR ALL THEM ARE TERRIBLE FOOTBALLERS
the thing that worries me , is all betis did in that second half , was PRESS HIGH, and we had no answers, we literally just passed to cubarsi then kounde then we would lose the ball, it reminded a lot of the 4-0 at ainfield
squadbdepth is a serious issue. after balde getting subbed , after lewandowsky off the pitch , without rafinha , the team is substandard . we need more depth. i would be delighted to see a striker in our squad alon with a left winger. mid field is relatively good. but the rb and lb positions should be considered soon.
The annoying part to me is hearing people say that the team is looking like Xavi’s Barca. That’s not only untrue, it’s disrespectful to both Flick and Xavi. These aren’t the same teams and Xavi’s Barca won the league.
Flick is right the prioritise competitions. If the same players get injured, we'll say that they're overloaded. It's left for other players to step up. Let's not go beyond ourselves, our problems are not over yet. No squad depth, many young players, etc.
This team can only gelled next season Jaime, hansi flick has just arrived any trying to instilled his tactics with this young group of players and it will take some time for it to be perfectly executed by these players
some worrying signs from the players and from flicks adaptation tactically when things are going wrong but now is not the time to go crazy . he has up until the end of the season then any and all complaints are warranted and the players too
The problem is that we lose the possession of the ball too frequently and need to counter press constantly, it sure is taxing. Sometimes you just need to slow down the game.
Flick is being so political trying to give minutes to everyone especially players that just returned from injuries. It is clear that Gavi and Frenkie shouldn’t be playing more than 10mins per game. Majority of the games we dropped points are because Flick gave more minutes to Gavi, Frenkie and Ferran
To be honest, I love the challenges we're getting currently. Because I believe that if we're going to do well with Hansi Flick, he has to find the solutions now, and I'm not talking about instant changes, but at least gradual processes for the whole team which will last till next season ❤
The team needs a strong physical player in midfield. Also fullbacks, especially left fullback cover for Balde. I rather see Barca win the CL - more prestige and more prize money.
Barca play bvb on my bday im ready for this, also I just got a "culer" tattoo 🔥(I got a Madrid jersey in a mystery kit what shall I do with it maybe the top comment next video can decide ??)
We need to decide who Lewy’s actual backup is. Ferran and Pau ain’t doing it. We need to establish our depth squad as a whole. What’s our second team choices compared to the first team. When it comes to the midfield, who are the next men up?
I'm really angry😡 rynna so I guess I need to give my thoughts on all of the questions. I have noted them and I'm ready to share my thoughts with you Jamie 👌 Your first question goes like: 1. What is going wrong with Barca? The biggest problem in our team presently is over confident and lack of communication. I know we have been excellent,let put it in the bag and go for more bcz it's a long run.what I mean is "we will put pressure on our opponent to get our first goal in the match but all of the sudden we are flat". But to be honest Barca are tough to predict;Bcz in the other games when we score our first goal, we go for more and now it the other way round.🤦 2. Back but... Not fully back? We know Gavi and Frankie are struggling but they need the team to help them regain confident.they are also tough to predict (Frankie and Gavi) Bcz if u criticize them in this match they will be excellent in the other vice versa. 3. Would you do something in January? The answer is "Yes". Our team need more experienced players to end the season in a good shape. Bcz, there will be a situation for us to rotate the squad. OK Jamie be honest with me and tell me the Quality of our bench. They are too young just like me (tho I'm younger than them) so we need more experienced on the bench so that we can rely on them when the starting line up is shaking. 4. Have the league made things difficult? Lol as a young Barca fan , I know it's normal. I have watched some highlights of the referee taking wrong decision against us and we just have to accept it. We know how Laliga is; so let discuss something else plz😅 5. Can we play this style every three (3) days ? My Opinion is "No". The highline requires a high intensity, it will cause fatigue in an unchangeable defense who has to run back all season long we need more defensive option to exploit it.. It may fall sometimes bcz, the Laliga club will try to master it the day before the match 🤷. I will be back to answer the rest. I had to fix something 👌. VISCA BARCA❤
i also always wonder how other clubs have average players that are really cheap on the market that are outplaying our bench, how are that kind of players not on our bench? it seems we are looking way too high to register and should look more for the hidden gems than the big names.
I UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT BARCA PROBLEM AND GOT THE SOLUTION TO IT. I KNOW HOW BARCA CAN GET OUT OF THESE. IT'S ACTUALLY VERY EASY FOR BARCA TO BOUNCE BACK, MIND YOU IT'S STILL SAME PLAYERS AND WE EVEN GOT MORE OUT OF INJURIES. I'M STILL SURPRISE HIS ASSISTANTS DON'T SEE IT. I ONLY WISH I COULD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO FLICK. OH HOW I WISH WE CAN TALK. ANYWAYS, ALL THE BEST TO BARCA!
Flick will need to win either UCL or La Liga, or next season will be very difficult for him in the media. The high line/press suits our best lineup perfectly. But maybe Flick should consider changing tactics to better suit our bench players when they come on and get the best out of them.
The problem with this Barca squad is that injured players are coming back. Some of these player just aren't at the level that Barca requires. Honestly out of all the Barca players Araujo is my favorite but I'm getting this feeling that he won't fit the system the way Cubarsi and Inigo has.
I think when we were lead by 1 goal difference our defenders always have a problems we need to have a leadership on the defensive side specially Inigo Martinez. And secondly our changes are too much at the end we lost our form because before they get themselves into shape use to be late. When Aurajo comes back he should be playing sofort 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

A lot of important questions up for discussion today... 👀
I think our "scrappy" players are getting tired and more fatigued. Like inigo, cubarsi, cassado. Also balde's passing why it is getting worse?
The Team is young we jus have to give them time Jamie we r BARCELONA
How is Liverpool doing the same? They do play a high press with high defensive line
I think having so many away games to start this season has hurt but we have also had a lot of moments where we were careless with the ball. Careless passes and such creating unnecessary pressure on the midfield and backline
The scrappy games are dangerous for Barca players and they know it very well. There is no protection from the referees unless it's Lamine. Lewandowski has been getting nailed in the back for 2 years right in front of the referee and it has been called maybe twice. THAT is the big problem not the style of play or will to win.

I am amazed by the short-term memory of our fanbase.
It’s amazing that people start panicking, hating players and coaches every time we get a not-so-good performance.
It’s like to be the best team in the world, we can’t lose or draw any game, or even play some bad games here and there.
Like wtf?!
Not even Guardiola’s best team, arguably the best team in football history, was perfect or winning every match.
Flick made you so ungrateful, by giving this amazing start of the season, that a bad spell now and people start searching for reasons, problems, players to blame, coach or club to blame.
For God’s sake, keep your calm! Be men! Stop overreacting to wins, draws, or loses!

Now, all of a sudden you guys praise him for the long-term strategy of giving Pena confidence, by playing him consistently!
Have some faith!
Yeah thats one thing I actually hate about our fanbase ngl I do now and then from time to time but some of them over do it don't get me wrong there is a time where you should start questioning players and coaches but sometimes either they just need time or just accept a lost or bad performance for what it is and move on for instance for the past few years I'm sure not a sole at city especially when it came to the prem questions pep for more than probably1-2 days after a game and return to normal and what has he shown each season...results now you could say its cause he is one of the best but still
It’s not our fanbase, it’s the New influx of kids that are fans of Lamine Yamal that have just now started to Watch football and Barcelona, those that say: I cried when we scored the fourth against Bayern and so on… those who remember the Rijkaard, Guardiola or Luis Enrique days, we know that it all comes with time and patience
My thoughts exactly!
@farukzunic816 What that supposed to mean 😑( idk if I fall in that age group but if I do then it's not all of us) so like from 12 go down right cause I know enough about football to act like a dumbass like that about things like that I was always just a chill guy too so
1. We need more quality depth: LW, LB/RB and CB.
2. Too many games are a direct result of the starting 11 not being as intense as the first few months of the season.
3. Tactics or a plan B. When we are being pressed relentlessly, we struggle, and a big gap is created between our front 4 and the midfield. Olmo at times should drop deeper to act as that link between the midfield and attack. Too many CAMs and not enough interiors in our squad. Pedri and Casado need help in those moments and de Jong is the only interior we have besides those 2.
We don't need CB,we have Cubarsi,Inigo,Araujo,Christensen,Kounde,Eric...the positions we need to strengthen are LB,RB and LW
Guys, this is a request. Even if we smash Dortmund, please please don’t get carried away by saying things like “Barça are back”. Please stay grounded until we win big trophies.
Visca el barça 💙❤️
Very true bro
They are Back tho. They just have to show up like they did at the start of the season. Which they will
@@Taurean_SAMA But no, we can’t get carried away. Because if we do, that will translate to our players and the complacency will set in. We need to stay grounded so that the players stay focused.
On point 👉
Whether we say we are back or not it doesn't change the score line or unpredictability. You act as if it's some kind of bad omen
Always remember we have the youngest team and we still need time to develop.. even tho we don't have a lot of players like real Madrid, but we are still putting up a fight.. we can't blame the team just yet.. it's not easy to play Everytime like that
Dawg, Madrid have legit their whole starting 11 out injured and they are on the verge of surpassing us in the table while we have a full squad. Quit the excuses.
@@PadmeGaveMeHIV first of all rudiger is there, mbappe, Modric ,tchouameni, valverde yes there are players injured but not the whole squad is and second of all they are madrid not barca that refs are going to be against and in the past or starting of the season they won matches just because of penalties
We always forget how young our squad is sometimes 😅 we expect them to perform like elders 😂😂😂
We have to be patient and trust the process, even in hard times I believe in this team.
No we don’t
I feel like Hansi Flick is more interested in the Champions league than the league
True he wants the champions league
He is, you can tell that he's more of a tournament manager. Similar to tuchel.
That’s was exactly wat I was thinking
Think it's laporta that's wants cl
Not that doesn’t make sense
Anyone overly reacting to these temporary down phases has no right to be happy when flicks barca destroys opponents.
Flick will surely make plan B and return of Araujo and christensen will be a mega boost for rotations
They will act like they never switched up on us as soon as we start winning
Has Flick ever had a plan b? He might be a bit one dimentional to be one of the best coaches around.
He will surely do belive him@@RaFox_17
@@RaFox_17best coaches are like that. Focus in our own strengths instead of shifting our play style based on the opponent. We only need to keep doing what we were doing at the start of the season. That’s it. Sometimes we will lose or draw, it’s acceptable
@ Keeping up high intensinity is difficult. You should have a plan b to win boing and ugly. A way to kill a game with low intensity.
You are spot on with the quality depth. The amount of games we have to play is mind blowing and it takes a huge toll on the older players. Lewy is good but we need a younger striker to compliment our style of play. Ferran is not the answer. We need to get good wingers so we don’t rely too much on Yamal. Hopefully our finances can be good to strengthen our squad by summer. We need to be patient because we have a good thing in progress in our club now
Winter not summer. If we don't strengthen in January we not gonna win a single trophy!
@ you are right but looking at FFP, don’t get your hopes up. It’s Flicks first season and as long as we see progress, I won’t be upset if we don’t win anything this season. Also there is not much quality in the winter transfer window
Kounde is dropping in defense. He looks heavy and slow while defending
We need a right back to compete with kounde.
He is slow like a turtle 🐢 when defending in flanges and a good pace winger will destroy him and I can feel it coming
I thought it's only me that have seen it @@Nobevisual
Koundé is dropping bc Peña is loosing his shit and Peña is in general a poor goalkeeper to say the least.
Get your facts straight, boy. He has been playing quite a few minutes and had close to no rest. We do not need someone to compete with him rather than someone who is a decent substitute so Kounde gets rest.
@Shgn9 I understand your point very well.
But kounde is not the only player in Euro top five that has played most minutes and still maintains some level of consistency
Jamie what i think about our inconsistency is that we need Nico at that left wing to help raha
I'd pick Mitoma over Nico...Just compare his highlights here on RUclips and you'll understand what I'm talking, the guy is as good as yamal
Pablo torre needs to play more,he always delivers
Also, game management. Especially the betis game. We conceded a counter which led to the equalizer while trying to score the third goal instead of just managing the time left
There were many times this season when we've beaten teams so comfortably but barely made any substitutions or given players 5 or 10 minutes. Pau victor is great example of this. Match sharpness is what the younger bench players are lacking. Same goes for torre and hector fort. It could've reduced the impact of rotating and given some needed confidence to those players.
I do believe that the performances are concerning, especially having seen these kinds of patterns for years on end, but I think it's important as fans to just continue to give our faith to the team and the players. The season is long, and full of fixtures, with very taxing games on the body. We have managed injuries, setbacks, questionable refereeing, and yet, we are here. Battling for the top and doing well in the UCL. I believe a lot in energy, and I believe that as fans, if we unite, continue to show faith, and have a confidence like how we did at the start of the season, I know it will help the players, and I know we will come out on top.
Thank you for the kind support my friend! I agree with you absolutely. We must continue to get behind the team and try to get through some of these difficult moments. The season is long, longer than ever in fact! 😂
Some of my thoughts:
- Olmo benched until he is fully fit (he could unlock games later on)
- Kounde rested more as he seems gassed
- Balde not push forward nearly half as much, I would actually rather see Kounde do that.
- Inigo was overrated by many of you, I really couldn't see what everyone else saw.
- Araujo coming back without issue.
I think Araujo will be the difference maker in defence. The issue is by the time he is back fully, Madrid might already be on top and once they are on top they very rarely lose points (for various reasons)
@@badbijan agreeee and also forgot about the UCL we can’t even beat monaco
I CAN NAME 10 CLUBS WHO ARE BETTER THAN US AND CAN WIN UCL WE HAVE NO CHANCE BELIEVE ME AND CLIP THIS WE HAVE NO CHANCE TO WIN UCL AND I THINK THE LEAGUE IS OVER WE KEEP SHITTING OURSELVES ITS ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING I CANT HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN THIS TEAM ANYMORE

This team is like the inverse of the 22-23 season team. That team was good in the league but horrible in the ucl but this team is shaky in the league and good in the ucl(so far)
I think that’s unfair cause in the ucl in 22-23 we had to face bayern and inter home and away where as our only hard game this season would be bayern at home
Reminds me of Antonio Conte, great manager in the league but heavily underperforms in tournaments

Yankuba Minteh is the best player in the world
Dortmund will be a tough game and our away firm hasn't been great of late but I'm believe the Boyz can get the victory in dortmund. Visca Barca ❤💙
What I find even more painful is the fact that our sudden drop in Laliga is beginning to make Real and Atletico look good. We were on the verge of blowing them away in the title race.
These players need to remember who they are and how they started the season. These dropped points could’ve easily been hard fought wins with more determination and focus.
@@kallisarthur9798 imagine if we didn’t lose or drew some stupid games…..
it would be more enjoyable to watch the rest of league games and we don’t have to worry about other’s who catching up with us i see us finishing 3rd hardly
7:18 how can u forget about the change frenkie brought after he was subbed against real?
One of the first things I’d like to mention is that this Barca team hasn’t played with this level of intensity in the recent past. So, it’s normal for them to get tired and lose strength when playing every three days. This team needs time to adapt to this way of playing, and it may take one or two seasons for their bodies to fully adjust to the demands.
Secondly, many important players are returning after long-term injuries. They need time to adapt and regain their rhythm.
That said, the third point is that Barca needs players who can change games with individual quality. The only one we have right now is Lamine, and the poor guy is just 17. We need to sell a few average or below-average players and invest in a top-quality winger and full-backs.
@@kC-wp1yd i agree with the last paragraph.also we go trophyless again nothing new i already knew it when we lost to osasuna i saw signs i knew this will happen we wont sign anyone good because all the good players are high price and they want to go to either madrid or any team who are invested in the team and want to win no top player will come to barca when we are an embarrassment to football in ucl
To be really honest on Balde. He is good he has quality but his crosses or final third decisions are really low. He needs to work on that, but at the other hand we dont have other options aswell
We really need squad depth
Guys chill. I know the team is not performing as good as we want it to be, but that expectation is due to super excellent start Hansi gave us. If you show the table in league and UCL and performances even recently to someone who was in a coma since august, he would take these results very happily. In a long season, it was inevitable that we will have a bad patch. So, just relax. And trust the boss....
Bro got that coma reference from NathanConnor
In January we need cover for Yamal, cover or competition for Balde, a LF cover for Raphinha, and I actually think we need to sign a pivot to help control the game I think someone like Fabian Ruiz could really help us.
Mamouch, Alphanso David, Jonathan Davis, and Kimich. all Barca need for now to get better.
In januar we need to sell some players. 1. Ferran 2. De Jong. 3. Fati 4. Garcia
Bring in a god midfilder, and a solid defender!
Fullbacks are really needed
The problem is the midfield. When de jong comes on barca just play like last season
Oh please the problem ain't De Jong at all..Stop this De Jong hate..
The problem is some unworthy ave rage players protected by some fans ; Koundé, Balde, Gavi (he was overrated even before his injury), Lewandowski (If he's not scoring), and obviously Ferran shyte Torres..
@Yamal_TheNewKing kounde being there goes to show how little you know.
Yes along with this a lot of players have dropped their level. If you see the last game we were not able to play out from back. We didn't see anything in midfield. Flick system is great but we need a big squad depth. Else this will not work.
@@Yamal_TheNewKingOther than kounde ...for all others I agree
@@Abdullah73901 I swear fans like you are holding us back NGL..How do you watch football??? Koundé?? The guy has the worst touches in football..His ball progression doesn't even exists, so shaky as well.. He's so sluggish..And he always loses the ball when he's pressed every freaking time..
How the heck does he even have fans??? Wtf?? Do you guys watch Dani Alves and pretend it's Koundé or what?! Yamal is the one who makes him look good and even with Yamal he still makes these mistakes
There was a time when Barcelona was not performing well in the UCL but was brilliant in La Liga, we were complaining. Now, we are performing well in the UCL but dropping points in La Liga. We are still complaining, but I think we should give credit to Flick. He has made Barcelona perform well in the UCL once again. Prioritizing the UCL is a smart move because we need the revenue it brings.

@ bwangu✌🏼
@@emmanuelbwalya4584 namimona zoona 💪
Olmos dip in form, reason for barcas dip?
👀 Maybe... Considering barcelona is playing exactly the way before olmo was registered (2-1 wins)
They should try Casado as a right back he will bring more attacks and nice crosses
We need raphina back in the 10 position, put ferran on the left lewa middle and yamal right, Casado and pedri behind raphina
My opinion may not be right, but I feel that the coach is making substitutions emotionally. What I mean is that the returning players are not really used to Flick's style. Please use Pau Victor and Pablo Torres more often.
Regarding prioritizing La Liga or CL this is my opinion: I think Flick rates CL higher for now(!). Making the Top8 is crucial. And we are still having really difficult games ahead (Atalanta, Dortmund and Benfica both away). After that is comes down to daily shape and a bit of luck. La Liga on the other hand is more about consistency. Near the end of the season we will have more squad depth (I hope) and more home games as well. And we will play Real at home in the 2nd leg, so there is another chance to widen the gap.
To be playing a high line with defenders that dont have speed will be a problem Jamie with flicks set up nald araújo will shine in that back line if he get bck to top level
Beeing a barca fan is like beeing a soldier!
It's possible to play like we do every three days, we just need the national team approach. Two XIs capable of winning. Hansi shouldn't change anything about his style, that's why I wanted him here.
I think the team started to get a bit too over confident which caused us to get lose focus
I was waiting eagerly for this
I have no idea whats going on with Barca as a whole but i feel that Araujo's return & Christensen is key. The reason is for me Curbasi & Inigo Martinez are doing extremely well right now however we don't have the option of replacing them when we are leading for example. We can't rotate them during the match for the next game cause we don't have anyone who can replace that kind of quality. Maybe for me that's why we fall apart in defence because Curbasi & Inigo are exhausted but i'm aware the problem is far deeper.
The problem with the defenders is real...flick could rotate with dominguez or gerrard martin every other game but he knows they are bad and will only make things worse..when araujo and christensen are back we can all feel safe about our defenders because we know who they are and we know their abilities
Teams have noticed that lewandowski doesn't press and his first touch is getting worse by each game and they take advantage of this.. A new striker who has a good first touch and presses well is what this team needs
We are more than ready 💯
The problem with the last game was we looked like last year’s Barca. The play was slow, and there was a lot of passing back to the defence. The goal came when they moved the ball quickly.
I hope we get Nico and Davies at some point this season or the end of it. As of now, we simply need to improve our quality we know our players possess. We are the best, let's polish that up. Visca el Barca
Great work bro . VISCA BARCA.WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU ❤
I don't see any issue right now other than the congested fixture list and lack of squad depth. The team is trying so hard considering the age of most of our players we'll be fine as long as December ends in 1st place
The problem never was Xavi or Flick right now. it's the quality of these players
9:04 how can we sign someone when we can't even register Olmo?
Honestly, I'd buyback any player with a buyback clause. It's something that maybe not everyone agrees on but it's probably our best option
@@jorgearria5973 buyback who????????
There are a lot of factors that should be considered when analyzing this team. My biggest annoyance is that we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot in difficult games. It's not even to say the opposition scored a brilliantly, constructed goal. It usually is that the opposition capitalized on an unnecessary mistake.
Away to Osasuna - Flick Rotated too much.
Away to Sociedad - Robbed of the first goal in the game, which could have changed how the match went. To be fair, Sociedad played a good game.
Away to Celta - Casado red card and the Kounde error (just clear the damn ball).
Home to Las Palmas - This was the shocker but there were still clear fouls in the box not called (which is no surprise).
Away to Betis - FDJ giving away a penalty and Gavi not clearing the ball up the field in the 94th minute. Explain to me why he is looking to pass the ball 5 yards in his own half to the attacker.
I also think the backline needs some rest. The only position being rotated is at LB. It has been the same players essentially for the entire season so far.
I am glad it was mentioned because we have had an unusual amount of tough away games back to back. Away to Celta, Sociedad and Betis, typically is difficult.
There is literally no team that is always going to play well or win every game. We shouldn't expect Barcelona to blow away teams every week.
Lewa is finished but he is competing against mediocre strikers in the league
The main issue since the start of the season is that the team hadn’t been pressing as much due to fatigue. Second the team has not been holding onto to the ball. They have been sloppy with the ball and it’s been putting pressure on the back line. Flick’s tactics might be tweaked due to the team being played on the day. You’re correct Jaime the priority is the Champion’s League.
6:45 , Huge fan Jamie, but I think I’d have to disagree on this take. I think out of all the players we have at our dispense to bring in, Gavi has been the only one to really stand out and not drop the intensity/level of not just “transition on ball” , but intensity off it.
I can agree that his positioning can improve, this will come through minutes.
I am on the same, regarding the rest of the squad debt. The rest of the subs we have don’t really bring intensity and rhythm to our games, except potentially Torre in a statistic viewpoint.
I feel we should calm down it’s not easy it’s week in week out
We should look at selling Ferran, Eric, FDJ and Gerard. Use that to address the registration of Olmo, buy a striker and buy a LW. Ideally I’d want Gyokeres or Isak. For Lw, it doesn’t have to be big money. I honestly think Leao would be too difficult to secure and to coach. I’d look at la masia. I know there’s still talent to add
one of your best videos Jamie. Pure facts 👏
After I saw his change against Betis, I knew that he is already prioritizing the champions Ligue , but I believe that we have more chance winning La Liga than the champions Ligue.
I only see 2 things change in the last few games.
1 - Drop in intensity, which is to be expected
2 - Lack of width. Yamal and Raphinha spend a lot time in the middle of the pitch now.
Jamie, I roll my eyes whenever we talk about La Liga/the referees stopping us. We weren't concerned about that when we were scoring 4+ goals every week. We have to be better. In UFC they say: never leave it up to the judges to decide the outcome.
1. Lack of squad depth. Those who came back from long term injury are unable to replicate their past performances, especially Ansu Fati
2. A very young squad. We have the youngest squad by age in La Liga.
3. Tight fixtures and too many away games in La Liga.
4. It is very difficult to sustain Flick's high line with so much intensity and pressure required in players.
5. Lack of a proper Plan B in twitching on the formation.
I know we are all frustrated and not in a good mood but lets give our team the support they need, we were over expecting anyways this is a team that has not spend enough in the last two summers and is relying on school going boys so lets be honest with ourselves and as of now just enjoy when we demolish our opponents and again we can still win a lot of trophies this season
I feel like we lack control periods ie moments where we make the opponents chase the ball by passing it around and thereby allowing our players to rest a little. Flicks system is ALWAYS direct and that means A LOT of running no matter the scoreline which tires players out.
Playing with high intensity is very hard to do for many games that is why we need depth
We should bring back Trincao on the buy back clause in January. Get Oscar Mingueza if possible for depth in full back areas. In summer, we should look to sell Frenkie, Christensen, Ansu and Ferran. Sign Tah, Kimmich, Davies and J.David.
Issue of ferran Torres we've hammered it over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be in barca squad. Barca need a left winger, a left back and probably a right back too, and most importantly, a striker
I hear a lot of fans praising Lamal for his game against Betis and rightfully so… he was magical.
But no love for Pena. Without his saves, we wouldn’t have even had a point to salvage. He kept us in that game with brilliant saves… for me he was my man of the match.
They only see him whenever he’s having bad games
I think we have quality on the bench, I just think for the last few weeks the whole squad seems like its effort dipped, which is understandable given they play almost every 3 days, they're probably really tired
The problem with the team is that of pride. Most of the players are yet to reach their peak and played lackadaisically and that affect those who are more determined. They most up their game the way Raphinha does and play for each other.
For me Flick is doing a good job what he needs is for the players to concentrate and remember that the season is still long and nothing has been won yet.
I think we need a quality leftback and an attacker.
I'd go with on the end of their contacts like Tagliafico which the contract ends in the end if the season with Lyon. Different profile than Balde that has had injury problems and needs to carefully rotated.
Trust Hector Fort to rotate Koundé. Don't matter if Koundé wants to play every game. Players sometimes are in a good streak and never wanna rest, but they gotta.
And if possible I'd go for Omar Marmoush! They say Frankfurt us asking for 40M~60M. I think it's a great opportunity, he can offer REAL squad depth in the attack, already playing in a German style for a while and can be even cheaper than Nico Williams would've been
I appreciate the focus that Flick has made on Champion's League. This is where it matters. This is where history is made. And he's working with a very weak bench. People need to cut this guy some slack. We have at times, a fickle fan base.
Come on man, with this squad to win the ucl is no less than miracle
@kingfayaiz44 I'm not saying that we will win it. I'm just saying that Flick's heart is in the right place. Playing in Europe and being successful there keeps our status as a world class club. Image is everything.
For sure Real Madrid has always 12 on the pitch. Eleven players+ the referee.
Hansi Flick strategy isn't good. His high oress is great but he should understand that we don't have the depth to play like this in every game.
Flick should apply different systems, with or without different players in the starting 11. Some matches and situations require a different approach. For last match a 3-5-2 could have been the better more conservative way to play. Three center backs, Balde and Kounde as wing backs. Casado and Pedri controlling midfield, Frenkie attacking midfield pressing with 2 attackers in front of him. Give rest to some important player before CL and give chances to others.
@@stefanstefanescu3202 he did gave them rest. And we lost to osasuna!!!!!!!!!!!
@@stefanstefanescu3202 i agree with you! But to be honest its all start with buying players and selling players when you want to rest yamal raphinia marc pedri cubarsi kounde balde who are the subs???
MARTIN GERRAD + DOMINGUEZ + FERRAN + ERIC + GAVI + FDJ + HECTOR ALL THEM ARE TERRIBLE FOOTBALLERS
the thing that worries me , is all betis did in that second half , was PRESS HIGH, and we had no answers, we literally just passed to cubarsi then kounde then we would lose the ball, it reminded a lot of the 4-0 at ainfield
I wish we could play every game like we did at the start of the season
squadbdepth is a serious issue. after balde getting subbed , after lewandowsky off the pitch , without rafinha , the team is substandard . we need more depth. i would be delighted to see a striker in our squad alon with a left winger. mid field is relatively good. but the rb and lb positions should be considered soon.
Will Auraujo be replacing someone in the center or could we see movements?
the reason rapha and lewa were taken off was because flick knew that the team needed fresh legs and for that reason the substitution happened.
The annoying part to me is hearing people say that the team is looking like Xavi’s Barca. That’s not only untrue, it’s disrespectful to both Flick and Xavi. These aren’t the same teams and Xavi’s Barca won the league.
Flick is right the prioritise competitions. If the same players get injured, we'll say that they're overloaded. It's left for other players to step up. Let's not go beyond ourselves, our problems are not over yet. No squad depth, many young players, etc.
This team can only gelled next season Jaime, hansi flick has just arrived any trying to instilled his tactics with this young group of players and it will take some time for it to be perfectly executed by these players
we need a RB and a devastating wide player who can play on both wings.
there tactical gaps for sure it’s not only on the players , flick is yet to adapt to teams that take the game to us
Those fullbacks plus two wingers plus two DMs
We need these signings
. what we are seeing are growing pains, we're good compared to the rest of Europe ❤we got this
some worrying signs from the players and from flicks adaptation tactically when things are going wrong but now is not the time to go crazy . he has up until the end of the season then any and all complaints are warranted and the players too
The problem is that we lose the possession of the ball too frequently and need to counter press constantly, it sure is taxing. Sometimes you just need to slow down the game.
Flick is being so political trying to give minutes to everyone especially players that just returned from injuries. It is clear that Gavi and Frenkie shouldn’t be playing more than 10mins per game. Majority of the games we dropped points are because Flick gave more minutes to Gavi, Frenkie and Ferran
To be honest, I love the challenges we're getting currently. Because I believe that if we're going to do well with Hansi Flick, he has to find the solutions now, and I'm not talking about instant changes, but at least gradual processes for the whole team which will last till next season ❤
We shouldn't sign players in January, but loans, especially Mudryk from Chelsea he would be essential for rotational in our attack.
The team needs a strong physical player in midfield. Also fullbacks, especially left fullback cover for Balde.
I rather see Barca win the CL - more prestige and more prize money.
Barca play bvb on my bday im ready for this, also I just got a "culer" tattoo 🔥(I got a Madrid jersey in a mystery kit what shall I do with it maybe the top comment next video can decide ??)
Thanks for the awesome support man, wow! I will ask the question about the Madrid kit and see what people answer 🤣🤣
We obviously want to win it all, but we should settle that we can't win every game. Hopefully we win the ones that actually matter the most.
We need to decide who Lewy’s actual backup is. Ferran and Pau ain’t doing it. We need to establish our depth squad as a whole. What’s our second team choices compared to the first team. When it comes to the midfield, who are the next men up?
I'm really angry😡 rynna so I guess I need to give my thoughts on all of the questions. I have noted them and I'm ready to share my thoughts with you Jamie 👌
Your first question goes like:
1. What is going wrong with Barca?
The biggest problem in our team presently is over confident and lack of communication. I know we have been excellent,let put it in the bag and go for more bcz it's a long run.what I mean is "we will put pressure on our opponent to get our first goal in the match but all of the sudden we are flat". But to be honest Barca are tough to predict;Bcz in the other games when we score our first goal, we go for more and now it the other way round.🤦
2. Back but... Not fully back?
We know Gavi and Frankie are struggling but they need the team to help them regain confident.they are also tough to predict (Frankie and Gavi) Bcz if u criticize them in this match they will be excellent in the other vice versa.
3. Would you do something in January? The answer is "Yes". Our team need more experienced players to end the season in a good shape. Bcz, there will be a situation for us to rotate the squad. OK Jamie be honest with me and tell me the Quality of our bench. They are too young just like me (tho I'm younger than them) so we need more experienced on the bench so that we can rely on them when the starting line up is shaking.
4. Have the league made things difficult?
Lol as a young Barca fan , I know it's normal. I have watched some highlights of the referee taking wrong decision against us and we just have to accept it. We know how Laliga is; so let discuss something else plz😅
5. Can we play this style every three (3) days ?
My Opinion is "No". The highline requires a high intensity, it will cause fatigue in an unchangeable defense who has to run back all season long we need more defensive option to exploit it.. It may fall sometimes bcz, the Laliga club will try to master it the day before the match 🤷. I will be back to answer the rest. I had to fix something 👌.
VISCA BARCA❤
i also always wonder how other clubs have average players that are really cheap on the market that are outplaying our bench, how are that kind of players not on our bench? it seems we are looking way too high to register and should look more for the hidden gems than the big names.
I UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT BARCA PROBLEM AND GOT THE SOLUTION TO IT. I KNOW HOW BARCA CAN GET OUT OF THESE. IT'S ACTUALLY VERY EASY FOR BARCA TO BOUNCE BACK, MIND YOU IT'S STILL SAME PLAYERS AND WE EVEN GOT MORE OUT OF INJURIES.
I'M STILL SURPRISE HIS ASSISTANTS DON'T SEE IT.
I ONLY WISH I COULD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO FLICK. OH HOW I WISH WE CAN TALK.
ANYWAYS, ALL THE BEST TO BARCA!
Flick will need to win either UCL or La Liga, or next season will be very difficult for him in the media. The high line/press suits our best lineup perfectly. But maybe Flick should consider changing tactics to better suit our bench players when they come on and get the best out of them.
The problem with this Barca squad is that injured players are coming back. Some of these player just aren't at the level that Barca requires. Honestly out of all the Barca players Araujo is my favorite but I'm getting this feeling that he won't fit the system the way Cubarsi and Inigo has.
I think when we were lead by 1 goal difference our defenders always have a problems we need to have a leadership on the defensive side specially Inigo Martinez.
And secondly our changes are too much at the end we lost our form because before they get themselves into shape use to be late.
When Aurajo comes back he should be playing sofort 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
