Can’t believe we’re taking this defensive setup to Europe

[bulletin @BULLETlN]

I can’t lie he absolutely nailed it. The high line isn’t the problem by itself, it’s playing one without defenders being physically capable of defending 30 meters of space behind them. Once our press gets broken it’s basically open ocean.

We desperately need pace and 1v1 dominance at the back.

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@_FindLaFlair It’s suicidal because he should know this and also be more flexible in his tactical approach… it’s as if he doesn’t know how to win against bigger and better teams and accepts defeat by playing it anyway!

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@NealGardner_ Just needs to do it in UCL now in the KO stages…

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

I actually have to agree with him 🙄

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Toni Kroos explains why Barcelona CAN’T have a solid defence with their current players:

“For example, Barcelona don’t have a defender like Upamecano, someone you can leave alone in a 1v1 with 30 metres of space behind him and be CONFIDENT he’ll handle it.”

“For me, Cubarsí is BY FAR their best defender. He combines strength in one-on-one duels with speed.”

“But when I look at the other three defenders, I don’t see ANYONE capable of being left alone against a striker with 30 metres of space behind the defensive line.”

“Whenever an opponent breaks Barcelona’s press, they suddenly have HUGE amounts of space to attack.”

“And the most DANGEROUS part is that this space is in front of defenders who don’t have exceptional defensive ability or the incredible pace needed to recover.”

“If I had defenders like Upamecano or Davies, I wouldn’t be worried about defending 30 metres of space.”

“But with players like Cancelo and Gerard Martín, it becomes MUCH more difficult.”

I wish it was 200 mins less… the point remains despite your biased view it was SIGNIFICANTLY less not just 200 mins… go check the difference… it probably equates to something like 25% of the domestic season which is NOT 200 mins and is closer to 10-12 games less. A typical knockout tournament is usually 7-8 games so thats basically a whole tournament less worth of games.

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@ITrinny @MIAMITHERICHKID @illavel11 @PSGINT_ R9 2002 is so far away from today so ofc due to recency he won’t be brought up. My point stands, it should apply to ALL players whether Barca or PSG.

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@ITrinny @illavel11 @PSGINT_ Same applies for R9 2002 or Lamine in the future. The difference in minutes should not be so significant compared to your closest competitors.

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

Unbiased thoughts on the number of minutes played? Do you think you can fairly do an apples to apples comparison if some people are more effective because they’re fresher? It’s very similar to how the NBA has a 65-game minimum requirement and per-game minute threshold to be considered for MVP.

I think Kavra and Dembele both played less than 50% of the total minutes they could reasonably be expected to play in Ligue 1 where as Yamal played more than 1000 minutes more than each of them.

It’s easier to perform “consistently” when you play significantly less so your sample size is inherently smaller.

👏👏👏

[Brian @Bri_an2]

5-2 Real Betis away
4-1 Galatasaray away
2-1 Atletico Madrid away

Three hard away grounds to win at and we won all three. This should get more praise

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@Grandsoncr7 Nobody compares anybody with Jude 🤣🤣 real Barca fans don’t even compare our players with Madrid players… who cares? You’d never find me doing that… it’s pointless. Every where I look you lot are doing player comparisons…

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@Favourrzqk That’s because you watch our games with a bias and who is “we”? Madridistas are free to choose their own player to hype….but WE barca fans will continue to push our own player… why doesn’t Madridistas do the same for one theirs?

[J. 🇭🇷 @JosipFCB93]

Nothing more needs to be said about Lamine's ability on the ball and what he means to us. But I hope everyone can see and acknowledge his efforts defensively in big games, consistently. Him and Pedri leading the line every time.

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@Neroleely @NealGardner_ So Lamine did not track back the whole game?

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

I wanna see some adjustments from Flick now... we do not need to press that high for 90mins... we need to drop back and open up Atleti a bit more and play to our strengths ...I think we can play more vertical too

[JamarFCB @JamarCuler]

@Mhoni_Hiyst Apologies accepted btw.... this is all on Flick btw... we are allowing Atleti to sit in a deep block and playing our useless highline with unproductive possession... even Lamine/Raphina looks unproductive
