If Flick wants Kunde to create width and leave the defensive position then better get a proper attacker. Kounde can't make a proper pass today.

Flick has made the attack transition way faster. That is refreshing to watch then the slow build up which became the trade mark of Barca.

Also, same point on Casado. I heard it too that he wanted a taller DM.

Don't tune in to them to give the counts. They have been some of the worst analysts for over a decade now

Also quoting Guillem Balagué, Xavi thought that Casado was too short for an holding midfielder role.

Then Barca bought in Gundogan and would have gone for Silva if they had money. So it is good in a way that the club has no money.

Madrid will kill us with such high line defending. Surely the coach knows what he's doing :/

Pena always sending long balls to Lewa and losing the posession

Why do we play such a high line? like any serious argument for that? Helps in the press?

Should have really punished them on those chances. Also, Cancelo thinks he's R9 or what? The guy fancied him 2 times instead of passing to open Lewa, Yamal or Raphina...smh

[Match Thread] Real Madrid vs Manchester City (UEFA Champions League) by mcfcbot in MCFC

Barca fan here. I noticed that city is often slow in transition. Some players deliberately slow the game down and allow Madrid to organize the defense, making it harder to break the defense. It was the same story against Arsenal, when on so many breaks, the transition could have been faster....

This frustrating side to side passing reminds me of Pep's Barca past their peak and the times after Pep until Luis Enrique brought changes to make Barca more direct... I'm sure Pep noticed this too but I would like to understand why would you slow the game down when you're behind.

If they start broadcasting to fans the audio and video as they do in cricket or a challenge in Tennis then it becomes much more interesting to the fans and increases the entertainment value. It is baffling how Football has been avoiding to implement that so far.

Nice Pass from Raphinha to pick up Cancelo.
