I’ve always respected Cristiano Ronaldo as a player and competitor. The narratives on this app around him are mostly based off of the last few years of his career when he has been a shadow of the player he used to be and I think he gets a lot of undeserved disrespect given how great he was in his prime. Of course he hasn’t helped himself with some of his antics in recent years, but his vanity and self-belief are huge reasons for his success. Whether you like him or not he has shaped the last 2 decades of football and the game won’t be the same without him

By this logic, if Villa’s two chances should’ve given them 2 goals, then Barcelona’s 5-6 other chances should’ve given us 8-9 goals? Every chance conceded doesn’t mean the team is weak. It doesn’t mean the team couldn’t control. This is an obsessive need for perfection.
I watched the game 3-0 does not reflect reality Villa should’ve scored 2 in first half if they were clinical It’s calm tho let’s wait for Dec 8th

You can't correlate the Bayern game to what will happen to us vs Barca For one, I hope Simeone isn't an idiot and doesn't play RLN Also Barca's defence is nowhere near as physical as Bayern's, look at how upamecano dealt with Sorloth and Alvarez, Barca doesn't have that profile
Didn’t catch the game obviously, but looks like a highly depleted Bayern side just dealt with Atleti away fairly comfortably. We have to follow suit. No excuses come the weekend.

Don’t really get the point of Fermin. He doesn’t elevate the creation vs good teams, actually drowns it. His sugar rush decision making + repeated runs he makes reduces chances of creating real chances that doesn’t go beyond overlapping runs into the box (that get cleared)

So, are we going to talk about Lamine Yamal’s performance today? Not up to his standard.

Great example. Barcelona’s biggest problem is not using the striker in the press. Raphinha can easily force Konate to make a pass instead of Gordon needing to. It’s forcing them to play but at their terms. Use Raphinha and let Gordon stay on Valverde. Too immature.
Replying to @Carretero__
Un ejemplo de el Clásico. El Madrid reinicia y Gordon salta sobre Konaté sin cortar línea de pase. Valverde recibe con tiempo para conectar con Mabppé, que descarga de cara y va al espacio. ¿Por qué no va Gordon con Valverde y Rapha salta sobre central?

The reason I was so high on signing Amadou Onana for Barcelona is because we need to focus on signing players that are not just competent technically but also physically excellent. Our physical floor is poor & it will hurt our ability to compete all-round. Needs to change.

Like Arne Slot said, there’s no point of tactics if you can’t win your duels. Our dueling ability in this squad is absolutely shocking. Arteta prioritised improving the physical floor & turning Arsenal into a team with physical monsters from the beginning & look at them now.

Villa might not be a giant but they’re incredibly smart in big games. Emery is a great KO coach & loves strategising vs big teams. He has an underdog mentality & loves preparing detailed game plans for big matches. He fits the profile of Flick’s kryptonite managers. Curious.

La familia de Jesús de Miguel agradece todas y cada una de las muestras de apoyo recibidas, e igualmente solicita, de corazón, máximo respeto a su privacidad, en estos terribles momentos. 🖤 DEP

ما الذي ينقص برشلونة للفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا❓ 🚨🚨بيب غوارديولا: دوري أبطال أوروبا بطولة تدمر المشاريع وآمل ألا يكون هذا هو الحال هنا. لا يجب أن نفكر في أنه لمجرد عدم الفوز بها، فإن كل ما تم بناؤه ليس جيداً. الدوري هو البطولة التي تمنحك الثبات والاستمرارية. أما في دوري الأبطال، فالمطلوب هو أن تصل إلى المراحل النهائية في حالة جيدة، دون وجود إصابات في الفريق، كما أن تأثير التحكيم ضخم وهائل في هذه البطولة. لذلك، الشيء المهم هو أن يكون العمل اليومي ممتازاً، وأن يستمر الفريق في النمو والتحسن، وألا يعتقدوا أنه لمجرد عدم الوصول إلى نهائي دوري الأبطال أو عدم التتويج به، فإن الموسم يعتبر سيئاً. ما يحدد الأساس لتقييم ما إذا كان الموسم جيداً أم لا هو بطولة الدوري.

This discourse on Flick is so tiring. He's a top manager, he's taken Barcelona up a notch and has raised the ceiling of this team with a very limited budget. That doesn't mean he's indefensible and he's made very questionable decisions. Nuance is not hard. 1/

He's got tactical deficiencies, might or might not win us the UCL (more likely not at this stage) and we might need to move on from him as a club in 1 or 2 seasons. That doesn't mean he's not a top manager or that he didn't make us much better as a team. Why so much beef? 2/2.

Fermin Lopez should not be starting any of the big games. He’s temperamentally weak, positionally static horizontally & he doesn’t read the game well enough out of possession. Loses his man, fails to track players, does not cover for his teammates as well. 1/

I don’t think we should sell him. He’s valuable against low blocks because of his vertical threat and box crashing abilities. Also helps in counter pressing versus teams that concede territory. But he can’t be starting big games. Us with Olmo vs us with Fermin are different. 2/

With Olmo, he offers proximity, one touch combinations vs high presses and moves smartly between the lines. Also is smart in the press and tracks people well. We could see his absence in the first half vs PSG after he went off injured. We were more in control until then. 3/3.

For a team that plays a proper M2M press, Barcelona have bad individual duellers across the pitch and especially in wide areas. For Flick’s system to work, the wide defenders need to be reliable 1v1 defenders because the press wants to force play down the flanks.

Think Iraola deserves far more credit than the general consensus seems to be right now, he’s lost ONE match at Liverpool, to City. They’re 3 wins from 3 in the UCL, on 15 points after 8 games (71-ish point pace), utilising Nyoni, Koumas, Rio, McConnell. They were one of the teams whose transfer business was most worrying, Araujo’s done well but RB, LB, central midfield, he’s managed those issues near-perfectly. Still so much to be improved on even from a coaching POV but in a transition season with a sub optimal “rebuild” in the summer, you couldn’t have asked for much more.

Trey Nyoni is a quality player. Always love him when I catch him.
