Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

I believe Barcelona are on good track. Some of those young players they have seem really talented. You never know how they will develop of course but they can attract top talents are in a great city to live etc.

 

Ha. Good.

May they turn back to Flick now?

 

That's true about Laporta but sooner or later I'm sure he will learn from his mistakes.

Perez used to be super involved and that was harming us a lot of times but now he has completely changed his approach.

 

Nice. Things go from bad to worse for Bayern.

Rodrygo LW and Vini inverted role might be the way to go vs Bayern too since Rodrygo tracks back a lot more.

Tuchel bombarded the flanks vs Arsenal, particularly the left flank with his Mazraoui-Musiala-Guerreiro combo. Sané wide with Kimmich in the deep pocket for crosses on the right flank. Arsenal are weaker defensively on the flanks compared to the middle. This is a signature move…

It will be Dortmund or RB who will be finishing 5th. Both are CL regulars who usually quality for knockout rounds too. Stuttgart would have qualified anyways as 2nd or 3rd.

 

I know a foolproof approach. Just need another Negreira.

 

LOL. Good one

 

@4x4s what are you hearing in Germany about Zizou going to Bayern? Seems like every outlet reporting it today is quoting mundodeportivo lol...

 

Just read now that Zidane is on the brink of becoming the next Bayern coach? Any reports in Germany?

 

Fair enough. It didn't actually say who the source was in what I read.

 

I think Zidane is only going to manage France next or he’d come back to RM as a stop gap between managers in an emergency situation.

every other rumor is wishful thinking and click bait.

 

It’s sort of the only face saving way he can answer that question though right?

 

No one there worries me other than Yamal and it’s just a terribly run organization. Not losing any sleep over Gavi or Cubarsi or Fermin or any of those other flavors of the month.

 

Im not fussed over Yamal to be honest. He’s got pace and first dribble, beyond that I’m not so sure what else he does. We’ve seen the Barca hype machine turn out many versions of him before. Let’s give it a few years and see how he progresses.

Pedri is still good but it looks like injury is starting to take a toll on him.
