This is just me noting, but Flick has been very late with using his remaining subs after getting the first two off the bench.We saw this against Sociedad and now against Celta.Both games had players toil through the 90 mins when they clearly shouldn't have.At the Anoeta it was Pedri who should have come off way earlier.Today it was Kounde who very clearly was deadbeat after the 70th minute cause he had been run down.And it cost us the game. Just to clarify, this is not the sole primary reason we lost but Flick has to be more diligent with his subs else we will be seeing more endings to games like this
@@TheRanqeeEnough with you and those Barça fans "No money" "we don't need anyone..we have Raphinha" "Ferran Torres is prime Messi" Our fullbacks aren't good enough.. Koundé has poor touches and loses the ball when pressed.. It's been like this since last season..Yamal just made him look good .. We've needed a left winger to carry danger from the left and dribble past players.. Gavi has never been good enough..Just an overhyped emotionally attached la masia product.. He offers nothing, all he does is run and run then pass backwards..Flick was even heard yelling at him to stop passing backwards..
@@shemarmckenzie6809 troll?? Oh yeah another stu pid Barca fan who doesn't wanna accept reality..We need real players..I hope Laporta goes for Leão, Davies, Jonathan David, Tah
I kind of agreed with Espn FC... After the red card, we could've just dropped a little bit and let Celta to try and break us down. We do not always have to press and play a high line when we are one man down, coz we leave so much space for the extra player to run into... I think Flick got it wrong there, but 1 point gained and we remain positive for our UCL match on Tuesday. Love from Namibia ❤❤
And the chance that frenkie had in the final moments of the game to shoot from outside the box. He passed it! I mean...why?? Take the chance, just go for it.
I was so pissed. Why? They still playing like old Barca. Gavi came back with sloppy short passes. Left back was terrible, middle fielder was awful. Nothing was done right from yesterday Match.
@@jayeshsuryawanshi2155he has options the first is he let go a better player than Martin go on loan that Alex Valle and then we all know Fort can play both RB and LB so why not Fort over Martin
@@ochintianuka7866Kounde makes one shocker mistake and now he is a truck? He has been the best rb in Europe so far. I don’t know why Fort doesn’t play more. He is better on both sides than Martin.
@goffperu I wish youtube let us tag people. I'd have shown you every single place where I said Kounde is clunky on the ball. He's TERRIBLE on the ball. Like bad, bad, bad. With his ball-playing DISability, he should have zero business being a Barça player. If it takes blatant, abismal "mistakes" like that from yesterday for you to see it, maybe you should look closer.
I was surprised when Barcelona loaned Alex Valle to Celtic because he was playing well during the preseason games against Manchester City and Real Madrid where he made goal assist. His natural position is LB but Hansi played in RB position.
@jamie i think we are starting to observe a pattern in this team. They seem tired It seems like we can't protect the scoreline once we go down to 10 men. We seem not to be able to win w/o Yamal (whose absence by the way was better managed today ) Also, i feel like Flick subs are made too late. His system is very energetic, which means you have to refresh the squad so that your best players can stay on form. Kounde did a mistake, but i think he might need some rest? He played the two international games with France. Casado should have been replaced after the yellow. Pablo Torre should have been sub on much earlier Using De Jong and Fermin w/o Casado or Gavi is suicidal for our defense. So, many things that need to be adjusted + in game management. Visca Barça
I think Flick made a lot of mistakes today. Why sub Pedri and keep Casado when he has a yellow card? Why start Gerard? Why are you still trying to change our perfect double pivot of Casado & Pedri? Why keep Olmo in the game that long, when he clearly wasn't having a good game?.. we could've done soo many things better..
1. Celta always know how to win or get a point against us, so I wasn't really surprised. 2. We were lucky not to be one man down at halftime, very lucky. 3. The players were visibly tired, FIFA and uefa needs to look at the pilled up matches. 4. Ain't there no one better to deputise blade other than Gerrard? Cuz I feel the man is playing against us 😢. 5. Is it just me or do we just need to leave the captain's handband on rapha even if Frankie comes on..I feel rapha provides some kind of moral boost. (Just saying). 6. Is it really no lamine no party?? I really hope not . 7. Keep up the good work Jamie. 8.. VISCA BARCA!!
Saw those goals coming before they even happened. Kounde is exhausted. It's evident. Also. For all the people that say that Ronald Araujo won't be able to get back in this team because "hE cAnT paSs" Neither of the CB pairing have any recovery pace when that offside trap is beaten and it's apparent. We can't have 2 slow CBs and a slow DM. It's all fine and good to have line breaking CBs but you also need a player in your back line that's physically commanding and can recover when mistakes are made. Araujo should be in that CB pairing with Martinez.
Thank you very much,I saw some clowns saying that Araujo should get sell,Araujo is physically strong and fast,he can easily keep up with fast attackers,he is the one that can play against Liverpool,City, Bayern,Arsenal and Real Madrid
@@DyllonLawrenceyes. The press is dying. It crucial for the high line approach. The first few weeks the press was relentless and teams couldn’t breathe much less think to time a pass to beat the offside trap. It’s no where near that now. We may have to reconsider this approach.
@@DyllonLawrence I'm not "blaming" the defense. I'm just stating a fact. Both of our CBs aren't athletic and quick. We only have Ronald Araujo for that. Yes our press has become less effective. But our opponents are also using quick attackers that are starting runs from deeper. Celta started a player in attack today that hardly gets play simply because he is quick.
With Flick's tactics, the most important to suceed is CONCENTRATION AND INTENSITY. If we loss concentration or intensity for 5 min, we are going to conceed. Today it was a horror show from the biginning seeing how nobody was playing the ball faster and showing relaxation and passivity. I really don't understand where this is coming from. It's such a shame to performance like this, even if we win. We always bottled games. We cannot let this happen again, if someone is not in the game, just make changes.
The problem is, after the Madrid game, a major chunk of the barça fan base got ahead of themselves. And ever since beating Madrid 4-0, we haven’t been convincing. That’s why I say to all the barça fans, do not get ahead of yourselves until we win the big titles. It only comes back to haunt us. Please don’t.
@@David-028 But the players who Understand English go through the comments of fans and if the fans sound too cocky, the players are under huge pressure to perform and live up to those expectations. And putting the pressure on our players is the last thing we would want.
@@abdoucamara6569 And Gavi.That guy is overrated asf.. He's never been good but overhyped by Barça fans who are attached emotionally to him.. He offers no attack nor control games..All he does is run and run then pass backwards
@@eL--RaLGavi was very good and the intensity dropped when he was subbed. Gerrand Martin was terrible so was the descsion of playing Olmo wide without an overlapping fullback. The team needs actual forwards , and Ferran Torres will solve the issues as far as Barça fans will hate to admit
This is kind of a reminder once again of the lack of depth on this team. It's so bad that we have to put Martin in a game as not letting Kounde take a little break with 15 mins left. Really disappointed with all these defensive errors.
Flick has to take a lot of the blame here. Why are we defending on the half way line 2-0 up with 10mins when it’s so obvious the team is tired and cannot press. You don’t have to play the same way for 90 minutes!! Just see out the game man. Game state matters and you need to know when to drop and defend what you have.
We were relying on the same 11 starters and these last 2 games it shows that they eventually get exhausted if not injured. Kounde who was great throughout the season looked tired, that caused that stupid mistake and his bad performance last game. Other regular starters seem to be losing steam. Remember this: the team who has the best bench (definitely not our case) and the best squad depth wins championships and UCL. Not the team with the best starting 11. We need QUALITY backups for rotation and rest, not position fillers. Contrary to what some "supporters" think, players actually do need proper recovery time from intensive effort, just look at the injury situation (ACLs) and player exhaustion in all the big teams of Europe.
Pedri was not supposed to come out he's so good the way he keeps the ball is unbelievable when I saw him on the way out I was really surprised gavi is good but let's not put pressure on him he needs time same with de jong they need time to get back on their best .but why is it most of our goals assisted by the defenders most of them are long only if it's 19 he's the one who might drive the ball pass 3 4 opponent and make a better assist
Self inflicted damage. It's like we were trying to force to score/ create chances. After 2-0 we should have just controlled the game. We wanted to score more goals and ended up conceding and drop points.
Noo. Celta were gifted a goal by Kounde and Casado got himself sent off. That’s what happened. Barca have always pushed for goals after scoring. How you do you think they have 55 goals and score 3,4, 5 a game. Thats not what caused this loss. There was even a time when they did exactly what you said. They knocked the ball around and controlled the game.
Wrong! We had to go for more goals to put the game to bed. We are the architects of our own demise by Kounde gifting that goal and Casado taking the red. The moment Pedri and Gavi (who are work horses) went off and I saw FdJ come on I knew we would have issues holding ground in that midfield. And boy it was an uphill battle from then on
Unfortunately Casado and Kounde double down Barca today, but they need to learn how to protect a lead, high-line defense and offsite trap are not smart options in the situation.
@@lawrence5841 you must be referring to after the red card. I get that. Even still. I cant say I would blame the team for going for the win given the points standings and parking the bus with 10 men is not fool proof either. The last two times we tried that didn’t work out.
fdj is done. We need to come to terms with that. Barca need a proper lw, rw replacement for yamal, and proper lb option. Martin should not play for barca the rest of the season. Kounde needs to be on the bench for a minute. We need Araujo to be fit as soon as possible
agree w/ you. araujo used to play on that right back position. there are some youngsters to try as a right or left wing. i am more concerned about our midfield, because when pedri casado don’t play top notch, everything literally breaks down…
Hansi Flick made a mistake to continue with Gerald Martini. The weakest link is the left wing of Barcelona. We need to go into the market for a left back & a left winger and a back up striker too.
Man, y’all need to give Barca players some credit. Most of our first eleven were playing for their national teams, of course they should be tired. Celta first eleven had two weeks of rest and of course they were flying and energetic. But there is no excuse for the capitulation in those final moments of the game.
@@fatih8053 Dude without pedri in that pivot position that he plays in we weren't able to create chances .I am not sayin that was the biggest problem but that was fs a problem.
You see....without Yamal and Balde, we lose some speed and control. Balde in the game means, Raphina gets pushed up top to press. Yamal also press. Balde is better and quicker on the ball, which also helps.
Guys, is there anything we can do to demand Raphinha take the captain's armband and keep it indefinitely... A captain shouldn't only be about seniority as it's always the case in Barça. A captain should be able to inspire the team to victory, which Raphinha does continuously, whereas Frankie just sends us back to shitsberg
Too much passion in this fanbase I'm telling you, like would they like someone to plead that their boss at their job take responsibility from them?? Smh @@MNKB-7

Cassado got that first yellow only SEVEN minutes earlier. Not like 30 or 40. And at that moment, if I understood correctly, was one of the only defensive minded midfielder left on the field and the bench. He and his role were needed for stability AND he was the only barcelona player on a yellow on the field back then. Imo that was more Cassados responsibility to not do avoidable stuff like this.
@@TheMaleLynn it was so obvious that Celta's players were going to try and get him sent off by focusing on his side just like they did with Gerard Martin in the 1st half Even a fucking 4 year old could've seen that red card coming but idk how did Flick not see it
OLMO should've been subbed off at halftime. I dont get some of these players mentality. Yes everyone wants to play and play the full 90 but you HAVE to bring the intensity every minute that you play like raphina and casado. in my eyes olmo was very frustrating to watch when he is "tired"
In my opinion, I think we need to have a plan B against teams like Celta and Sociedad. The high line should not be our only way of playing and maybe we should try different methods, I can’t believe we are leading by 2 goals, man sent off and they are still playing high line talking so many risk, in the end we were lucky to get away with a point. Celta was the better team and they deserved to win.
The teams figured out our offside trap, they figured out Flick! He doesn't have a real plan, just relies on a 17 year old to carry Barca, i've seen enough!!
Kounde honestly just zoned out and lost focus I knew right from the first half he wasn’t match ready mentally , martini was a gamble on flick choice and I don’t think that guy was ever meant to be in Barcelona .. overall opposition teams are starting to learn how to breach our back line and I think flick needs to devise another method to strengthen the defence so we don’t too much depend on high line tactics
We shouldn’t blame Kounde at all it’s a human error. Let’s learn to stand with this team even though the worst performances. Now’s not the time for “this is the old Barcelona” statement and mentality. We will improve
What is Hansi Flick doing??? You cant still play a high line after going one man down and 2-0 up. Why risk this?? is he that stubborn, why not park the bus for once?
People are saying that this resembles Xavi's Barca because they seem to forget everything other than last season. Flick is a better coach that Xavi but Xavi knew to let the team sit solid defensively in our title winning season where we have won many games with only one goals and only conceived in total 14 or so
Right....Like how Xavi coached this team into conceding 3 goals to this very same Celta Vigo side last season. Lolol You people make me laugh with your convenient memories😂
@@giornogiovanna845 Xavi beat celta 1-2 away and 3-2 at home last season🤨. Flick is a better coach but Xavi knew how to set up a good defensive team. Celta had 2.4xg this match, under Xavi celta had 0.75 xg in 1-2 win.
When Yamal gets the ball, he can either dribble his way out of pressure or be an outlet with his movement on and off the ball, or create quick chances by finding raphina and lewa with first time passes like we’ve seen with his big switches and lobs, it could just be that we’re missing that type of player that prevents the game from getting too chaotic with nonstop pressure
Flick had been overworking these players in training. And this highline system is taking a lot from these players mentally...defenders and midfielders are never calm and composed and teams sense that, and are not afraid of playing against Barca!!! There was and is no way players going to last the entire season playing with this much intensity!!
Whole team played poorly and FDJ only played small portion of the game, unfortunately Casado and Kounde double down Barca today, or high-line defense and offsite trap were to blame in this game.
Raphina and Pena were the only players in that match. Kounde, who has been one of our most reliable players, all of a sudden couldn't seem to play well today. Inaki Pena had multiple saves today , his only flaw was not taking the steam out of Celta's game. He doesn't have to bounce the ball back into motion immediately every single time. Let the team get organised. Hansi's tactics are getting figured out if we are being honest. Celta had like 1 or 2 offsides . They were making runs from deep and breaching the highline multiple times. Lewandoski can't be our plan for next season. He's a liability in pressing and hold up play. Yes he's going to score goals but we seriously need to start looking at the future
People called me crazy but i said in the long run that Midfield isn't gonna cut it, Flick is more similar to Klopp than Pep and Barcelona is full of Pep players but he needs Klopp players. Flick's System doesn't need fragile brilliant technicians like Pedri he needs players like Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Szoboszlai, Goretzka he needs warriors, intensity to play that style a whole season and never drop form.
Now we can stop being under the illusion that Raphina is a better winger under Hansi. Dembele was the best deliverer of the passes for Lewandowski. When Raphina plays a true wing, especially on the right he can not get service to Lewi. Yamal has filled this role and allowed Raphina to play as an attacking midfielder and overlap Lewi. With Yamal out Barca is not as dynamic. Olmo tries to provide service but since he’s in the middle of field it narrows the pitch too much. Balde and Yamal are critical to Barca’s success as they provide the width for the others to operate.
The Xavi’s transition is still ongoing. Our players can not keep the peace for an extended period. They just can not. The team is too unbalanced. What they built in 12 weeks was destroyed in just two games. It is totally because of players' performance. Celta deserved to win that game. Lucky to get one point. We need to be so active in the Jan transfer market.
It’s quite disappointing that we dropped point in this match. To be honest with ourselves de Jong is not ready to give his best to the club for that reason they should off load him.
We are still struggling to create chances without Yamal. Both goals came about as a result of mistakes and not our own creativity. Lewandowski forced the second as a matter of fact. Gerard Martin should not be starting games as well.
Of course they gonna blame everything on De Jong and Martin. Yes they were really bad but they didnt affect the outcome. Casado and Kounde should take responsibility too
U are right casado nd kounde made big mistake that cost us this match but these two players are more impactful for the team as u have seen matches against madrid, bayern
Jamie, we all knew that Flick‘s style is always start the line up with very strong. I knew that Balde was not fit at the moment, but hey, playing Gerard Martin (yeah only this one guy) can make the whole team very2 disaster. Even in the 1st half we can see that Olmo, Casado & Gavi quite hesitated to play along with Gerard, they tend to pass the ball through mid or sending across to Kounde on the other side. I don’t know why Flick still want to play Martin. I rather play Fort on the right (although that’s not his position). Martin nearly being sent off right before the 1st half end. But thank god, Flick quickly subs him out. But then, when Fermin & De Jong coming in, I don’t understand why we need to subs Pedri & Gavi. The one who got yellow card among midfielders is Casado, but he doesn’t came out. WTF? and right after that, Casado being sent off 🤦🏻♂️. What a brilliant choice that Flick has made. Not finished here, now come Kounde, who easily made a mistake. I dont really understand what happen but I can tell you, Flick slowly turns to be like Xavi, made bad decision for first eleven, bad decision for subs. whats wrong with Flick? where is the aggresive Barca that we see before? Cmon Flick, use ur brain
Flick has to take most of the responsibilty for this one, 1- he left Casado with a yellow card when I thought for sure he was going to be replaced along with Gavi, but instead Flick took Pedri out and it cost us. 2- after the red card I was screaming for Flick to take out Olmo who was having a poor game and looked tired and Lewa who was also missing in action, except for the goal he scored, but that substitution came too late. another lesson that when you have 10 men, you must make adjustments and cannot simply keep going the same way. 3- Gerrard cannot start for this team, Fort is much better and the difference was clear today, we all can see it but Flick cannot?
@@longlaacheliu5630 Well how many chances do you want to give him? He doesn't track back effectively, adds nothing going forward, and kills our counter attacking play with his slow ass decision making. He was great for Xavi Ball because he liked slow ass build up and sideways passing but in Flicks system he is a liability both ways. Don't believe me though, if he keeps playing we'll see the same things over and over. The whole team wasn't good today and Kounde made a huge rookie mistake for the goal.
Cassado was making mistakes while Olmo was not on it. I genuinely thought that we would sub Casado for being on yellow. But wrong substitutions then a disaster from Kounde killed us. We took too many risks with the high line.
Players looked exhausted. We pick up some players in the much needed areas(fulbacks and wingers) and we win these games comfortably. The lads are lucky Flick doesn’t speak Spanish or they would feel a tongue lashing😂
[Araujo, Kounde] are both over-hyped ... just like [Pedri, Gavi]. [Araujo, even Lamine] covers up for Kounde's weakness/mistakes at times. Kounde looked good. Araujo is mediocre ball distributor ... and not press-resistant. Kounde improves his passing this season.
Sorry for Kounde who was perfect until the mistake. Something good from this game: a very positive impression of Fort on the left, hopefully acknowledged by Flick.
I don't know if it's me only who has realised that Gerald Martin still has alot to do because everytime he is in our backline is always not the same. Also today we were not playing our game,we constantly lost important balls. Lewa need supply
I don't know what actually happened to the team yesterday after taking a 2 goals lead but by the end things turned awful. But, I noticed a problem with the full backs positions which need attention. Again Barca should learn to cool the games tempo that way other teams are frustrated. But if they forced us to play their way then we are in trouble. Kounde has been outstanding and I don't blame him though he needs to be more cautious. Again, Flick must start every game with his best 11 to avoid such calamities because it makes no sense keeping Balde on the bench and starting with Martin. Another worry was Olmo, yesterday he was poor through out with poor passes and losing possession easily. The team's counsellors need to check out on these players. We've lost 2 valuable points which gives other teams advantage to close the gap but with more commitment and concentration things will get better.
It sucks but we move. Everyone except Raphina and Gavi looked fatigued. Can’t dwell on this horrible performance. Focus on bouncing back with an emphatic performance in the Champions League.
"Olmo plays well behind the striker " Glad you saw that ... Flick plays Pedri there ... literally as AM. That limits the goals ... Since debut, [Pedri, Gavi] has not achieve G/A more than 10, per season. People can't see the need of an AM ... even during Xavi's era. Abundance goals flow with this ... [Raphinha, Olmo, (Lewy), Lamine] + (Pedri, Casado/Bernal) Limited goals with toothless mid-fielders [Olmo, Pedri*, (Lewy), Raphinha] + (Casado, Gavi). - Can try [Raphinha, Olmo, (lewy), Toni/PauVitor] + (Pedri, Casado)
That was absolutely diabolical unnecessary pressure invited upon a young squad and if care is not taken.A lot can unravel a lot upon us.Enough of the blame game.That was a stinker of a performance.It’s just pathetic
Worth saying though: Fort was super composed in those last ten minutes and played his way out of a few tight spots. Have no idea what Martin is doing starting ahead of him.
This one is on kounde, not casado as much as casado got the red it wasnt that bad of a red i thought, ofcourse it wasnt great from him dont get me wrong.
@ yeah no it definitly wasnt a good performance at all dont get me wrong and i am not one of these people who defends a player performances no matter what so i think you need to relax
@@Eyeyorot Casado could have been pulled off definitely , but I think the foul could have been warned instead of an yellow. This was all because of Iago Azpas putting lot of pressure on the ref so he was forced to send him off because of the clearer booking he didnt make in Gerard Martin's case. I think in a normal game the two wouldn't have been booked.
I just have to say these: 1. Gavi should not start any game until he is 10000% fit. Even if he is inpatient, Flick shouldn’t play him on emotion. Fermin should start ahead of Gavi because of his goal threat and recent form. I believe if Fermin plays on the left with Olmo in the 10 position things would have been much better. 2. Gerrard Martin should never play ahead of Hector Fort. G Martin always cost us through unnecessary fouls or being caught onside. He slows our plays and offers nothing. 3. Without Yamal, we only have Raphina who offers constant threat. Th rest only wait for moments. 4. Why do Lewandowski keeps losing important balls at his feet. When he drops to get the ball he always have a very bad touch which slows our game play. We need a good backup or Pau Victor should sometimes start in the central position to give L9 a rest.
There are many things I want to analyse here. The players are becoming complacent especially the "key players" Cassado, Olmo and Kounde especially. And before people say because of the mistakes they made that's why am saying this. NO. In the sociedad game Kounde, Olmo and Cassado played really really bad especially Kounde and Olmo but everyone made it slide because the entire team in general was bad. Today they showed it again. This is the first time am seeing Dani Olmo play like a 2nd division player, is he still injured????? He couldn't run, gave the ball away foolishly in key areas especially the one that forced a huge save from Pena. Kounde has always had this thing about his game so am not really surprised but the level he has shown this season this was very bad. Marc Cassado needs some talking to, he should stay humble if he wants to be a top player, someone even remind him he almost left the club this summer and Bernal is ahead of him, just look at the second yellow card he picked?? How are you shoving someone who doesn't have the ball?? WTF is wrong with this kids??. And Hansi Flick also has to know that every game needs to be approached differently especially when things change. We were 2-0 up when the red card came and yet we were pressing high and playing a highline despite knowing the have Celta had a spare man. He should sometimes avoid certain risks, this system is really tiring and today a lot of the players were showing signs of fatigue. Against Monaco yes we were reduced to 10 men by the 10th minute so there was no need to defend coz it was 0-0 but this is different. There are certain games where we have already won by a landslide yet the team will be high pressing instead of holding onto the ball and preserving energy. If he doesn't add this to his game the team will really struggle coz there a lot of young and injury prone players in the team and the short squad depth even makes things worse. The board has to sign at least an attacker or a full back this January. Raphina and Inaki Pena were the best players on the pitch. Frenkie Dejong should be on the bench at this point, Gavi played today like he wasn't injured at all and then you see Frenkie, looking busy without doing anything, if you think am lying look at the 2nd goal we conceded, he was supposed to cover for Hector Fort but he was standing. They should take the captain armband from him and even make him leave this January am fed up, I have supported him all the time but it's too much
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT KOUNDE ERRORS , HE CAUSED CASADO FIRST YELLOW CARD WITH HIS BAD PASS ,LACK OF CONTROL AND INDECISIVE ... WE NEED A NEW RIGHT BACK ASAP.. FLICK SHOULD HAVE SUB OFF CASADO TO PREVENT THE RED CARD , HE SHOULD HAVE KEEP GAVI IN THE POSITION OF CASADO
I think it's always important that we try to keep players in their best position as much as we can, trying to alter too many players position at the same time won't come out good...Playing Pau on the right and keeping olmo, pedri and raph in their favorite position would have been good than what we saw, in the end we have about 4 players playing out of position
I still feel like at times some players get greedy when attacking. Like when there's a fairly simple pass to someone in a much better position but instead they'll shoot or pass it backwards so they can attack the box themselves.
No aura at the back.. maybe it's time for Sc to start starting because this defense is not sufficient long term...you have to be able to keep clean sheets my word!!
I think that we have become spoiled with several very young players (Lamine, Casado, Bernal, Cubarsi, etc.) performing almost impossibly well for their age. So when we see Gerard Martin (age: 22) struggling, we lack patience and think 'next'...
the tempo of Barca's passing game or high press has dropped drastically. Did anyone notice Pedri in the game. i dont think he made any telling pass today
What an awful performance for the second game in a row. It’s a bit of a wake-up call. There are several players who are doubtful. Gerard Martin is a disaster and has been every time he’s been playing. And I’m not convinced about Fort either. But there are also some of the experienced players who are underperforming. Kounde is obvious, what a disastrous performance. Frenkie looks like he doesn’t want to play. Cubarsi has dropped in performance the last couple of games. We need Araujo back to give som rest to the youngster. Another problem is that we have to many midfielders playing at the same time. We need to strengthen our attack heavily
I guess that was that. Old Barca is back... The mistakes, the heads dropping, the mental breakdowns, etc. We are back to dissapointments every weekend. I cant believe that we are so reliant on a 17-year-old boy. When Yamal is not in the team, then 3 points is impossible to gain. Kounde! What were you thinking???? Casado! What were you thinking???? I turned off the TV when Casado got sent off, because I knew the manuscript in advance. Even though it was still 2-0 Barca, I knew the inevitable 2-2 would be realized., because that is what the old Barca would do (and they are back again - back in our worst nightmares). Real Madrid is De Facto huge favorites to win La Liga yet again. They have it all. If they are great, they annihilate teams. If they are bad, which has been the case often this season, then they get the 3 points anyway...
I was so furious man. It felt more a lose than a draw for me. I couldn't even watch this video yesterday that's how passed I was😭😭😭. It feels like all the hardworking we have done from the beginning went to waste, that 4 - 0 win against Madrid means nothing at this point because we have given them the leeway. I honestly wouldn't ve surprised if they picked up form and won this league and we'll have the egg on our face. It's always individual mistakes that costs us titles the same thing happened in the champions league last season.
How are we throwing away this league after having such a lead??? Flick must hold these players accountable for that terrible result. Martin needs to stop being called up to the first team! He does not have the quality! How can't we win a game without Yamal on the field? That's seriously questionable and very poor on our part.
Honestly pena was superb today. In fact he was the one that save barca the most. What was the problem of the back line today? If barca are struggling with teams like Celta, what if they face brest that are very good this season? Does it mean barca can't win without lamine? Honestly this 2 points hurt
barca will def get the 3 points against brest. as someone who is following la liga for more than a decade, these average teams are harder to play against as you may think.
I recognized that the last two games barca played extremly wide. olmo (who made a lot of first touch mistakes) and raphina not constantly in that inverted, more central position. almost no offensive build-ups from the midfield, pedri and casado totally off today. and when kounde had the ball in the final third he didn’t have that player to get to: LAMIN YAMAL!!!
@@Catalan012Gavi has been top , full intensity and top pressing. I think Barca pressed well compared to their last game. It should have been cassado with the booking that should have been called off , the game would have been won easily.
You know what Jamie?...I absolutely can't wait for Flick to fully learn Spanish. So he can personally yell at the squad in the dressing room after lapses in concentration and horror shows like the ones today!😬😂😂. Ofc tho...we don't wish it to ever happen again. But still
Frankie needs to leave the club lmfaooo this guy came on & did nothing. The whole energy shifted once he came onto the pitch. How is he one of our captain???

FRUSTRATING.
Exactly
Your fan base celebrated enough now it's time to suffer like last year, you luck is now over another season your club about to go trophyless lol 😂😂
The scary part is this spreading across all competition. We started slow yet again.
This is just me noting, but Flick has been very late with using his remaining subs after getting the first two off the bench.We saw this against Sociedad and now against Celta.Both games had players toil through the 90 mins when they clearly shouldn't have.At the Anoeta it was Pedri who should have come off way earlier.Today it was Kounde who very clearly was deadbeat after the 70th minute cause he had been run down.And it cost us the game.
Just to clarify, this is not the sole primary reason we lost but Flick has to be more diligent with his subs else we will be seeing more endings to games like this
100%
This felt like one of those xavi matches where we lead and then in the last minute in just goes to shit in every possibie way

Our fullbacks aren't good enough.. Koundé has poor touches and loses the ball when pressed.. It's been like this since last season..Yamal just made him look good ..
We've needed a left winger to carry danger from the left and dribble past players..
Gavi has never been good enough..Just an overhyped emotionally attached la masia product.. He offers nothing, all he does is run and run then pass backwards..Flick was even heard yelling at him to stop passing backwards..

@@shemarmckenzie6809 troll?? Oh yeah another stu pid Barca fan who doesn't wanna accept reality..We need real players..I hope Laporta goes for Leão, Davies, Jonathan David, Tah
We really should get Leao or Nico for LW. Davies for LB before Madrid jumps on him. I just think our priority should be either a LW or a FB
I kind of agreed with Espn FC...
After the red card, we could've just dropped a little bit and let Celta to try and break us down. We do not always have to press and play a high line when we are one man down, coz we leave so much space for the extra player to run into... I think Flick got it wrong there, but 1 point gained and we remain positive for our UCL match on Tuesday.
Love from Namibia ❤❤
Well Kounde gave them a free goal which had nothing to do with the high line.
None of the goals we conceded had anything to do with the highline.
Nothing to do with the high line.
Not acceptable! Do you know what it means to have an identity and stick to it no matter what

😪....I Love my team, but today was not a good day Jamie.
Great game from Inaki Pena💯
Inaki was really solid

Screw Real
And the chance that frenkie had in the final moments of the game to shoot from outside the box. He passed it! I mean...why?? Take the chance, just go for it.
Man that’s what I’m saying that pissed me off
I was so pissed. Why? They still playing like old Barca. Gavi came back with sloppy short passes. Left back was terrible, middle fielder was awful. Nothing was done right from yesterday Match.
Bro I was so LIVID when he controlled the ball and made a side pass. I’ve had it with this overrated bum. He can leave for free today! Good ridance!
@@DKing-du6xrwhy should he leave for free? His contract doesn’t expire until 2026
Am really not seeing what Flick is seeing in Gerard Martin.
He doesn't have any other options either
Gerard Martin was better than Kounde. What's he seeing in that truck.
@@jayeshsuryawanshi2155he has options the first is he let go a better player than Martin go on loan that Alex Valle and then we all know Fort can play both RB and LB so why not Fort over Martin
@@ochintianuka7866Kounde makes one shocker mistake and now he is a truck? He has been the best rb in Europe so far. I don’t know why Fort doesn’t play more. He is better on both sides than Martin.
@goffperu I wish youtube let us tag people. I'd have shown you every single place where I said Kounde is clunky on the ball. He's TERRIBLE on the ball. Like bad, bad, bad. With his ball-playing DISability, he should have zero business being a Barça player. If it takes blatant, abismal "mistakes" like that from yesterday for you to see it, maybe you should look closer.
We also need to be using hector fort as LB i'm tired of that gerard martin he's not good for us
He reminds me of lenglet, i'm always panicking when I see him play
David Oduro,Pol Bernabeu from Barca B are better than Gerard Martin..
Just remove pena, he can't be riding on that Madrid game forever.
@@readbeforeyoureply64he was our best player last night what are you saying😂
I was surprised when Barcelona loaned Alex Valle to Celtic because he was playing well during the preseason games against Manchester City and Real Madrid where he made goal assist. His natural position is LB but Hansi played in RB position.
@jamie i think we are starting to observe a pattern in this team.
They seem tired
It seems like we can't protect the scoreline once we go down to 10 men.
We seem not to be able to win w/o Yamal (whose absence by the way was better managed today )
Also, i feel like Flick subs are made too late. His system is very energetic, which means you have to refresh the squad so that your best players can stay on form.
Kounde did a mistake, but i think he might need some rest? He played the two international games with France.
Casado should have been replaced after the yellow.
Pablo Torre should have been sub on much earlier
Using De Jong and Fermin w/o Casado or Gavi is suicidal for our defense.
So, many things that need to be adjusted + in game management.
Visca Barça
I think Flick made a lot of mistakes today. Why sub Pedri and keep Casado when he has a yellow card? Why start Gerard? Why are you still trying to change our perfect double pivot of Casado & Pedri? Why keep Olmo in the game that long, when he clearly wasn't having a good game?.. we could've done soo many things better..
Water can carry a boat also can sink a boat.
1. Celta always know how to win or get a point against us, so I wasn't really surprised.
2. We were lucky not to be one man down at halftime, very lucky.
3. The players were visibly tired, FIFA and uefa needs to look at the pilled up matches.
4. Ain't there no one better to deputise blade other than Gerrard? Cuz I feel the man is playing against us 😢.
5. Is it just me or do we just need to leave the captain's handband on rapha even if Frankie comes on..I feel rapha provides some kind of moral boost. (Just saying).
6. Is it really no lamine no party?? I really hope not .
7. Keep up the good work Jamie.
8.. VISCA BARCA!!
Raphinha is the fourth captain FDJ is 3rd captain
@Ilyasfredericks I know the list sir, I know the rules, I'm just being wishful if you get my drift
Saw those goals coming before they even happened.
Kounde is exhausted. It's evident.
Also. For all the people that say that Ronald Araujo won't be able to get back in this team because "hE cAnT paSs"
Neither of the CB pairing have any recovery pace when that offside trap is beaten and it's apparent. We can't have 2 slow CBs and a slow DM. It's all fine and good to have line breaking CBs but you also need a player in your back line that's physically commanding and can recover when mistakes are made. Araujo should be in that CB pairing with Martinez.
Thank you very much,I saw some clowns saying that Araujo should get sell,Araujo is physically strong and fast,he can easily keep up with fast attackers,he is the one that can play against Liverpool,City, Bayern,Arsenal and Real Madrid
Y do u think the offside trap is getting beaten so easily now? It's because the press has become less effective and also carelessness in possession
@@DyllonLawrenceyes. The press is dying. It crucial for the high line approach. The first few weeks the press was relentless and teams couldn’t breathe much less think to time a pass to beat the offside trap.
It’s no where near that now. We may have to reconsider this approach.
@@chevonpetgrave4991 exactly idk y they keep blaming the defense
@@DyllonLawrence I'm not "blaming" the defense. I'm just stating a fact. Both of our CBs aren't athletic and quick. We only have Ronald Araujo for that. Yes our press has become less effective. But our opponents are also using quick attackers that are starting runs from deeper. Celta started a player in attack today that hardly gets play simply because he is quick.
With Flick's tactics, the most important to suceed is CONCENTRATION AND INTENSITY. If we loss concentration or intensity for 5 min, we are going to conceed. Today it was a horror show from the biginning seeing how nobody was playing the ball faster and showing relaxation and passivity. I really don't understand where this is coming from. It's such a shame to performance like this, even if we win.
We always bottled games. We cannot let this happen again, if someone is not in the game, just make changes.
It sucks that we were so ghost-like without Yamal (throughout the whole team) .My confidence is shot now, just like team’s.
The problem is, after the Madrid game, a major chunk of the barça fan base got ahead of themselves. And ever since beating Madrid 4-0, we haven’t been convincing. That’s why I say to all the barça fans, do not get ahead of yourselves until we win the big titles. It only comes back to haunt us. Please don’t.
@@rahulminhas572nope, the problem is lamine Yamal is injured. It has nothing to do with the fans, they’re not the one playing
@@David-028 But the players who
Understand English go through the comments of fans and if the fans sound too cocky, the players are under huge pressure to perform and live up to those expectations. And putting the pressure on our players is the last thing we would want.
It feels like since our injured players came back, complacency kicked in and there is no more intensity, no more fluid combination game
De Jong
Very true where is the intensity. Its unfair that have to depend on yamal.
@@abdoucamara6569 And Gavi.That guy is overrated asf.. He's never been good but overhyped by Barça fans who are attached emotionally to him..
He offers no attack nor control games..All he does is run and run then pass backwards
@@eL--RaLgavi has a better game than casado
@@eL--RaLGavi was very good and the intensity dropped when he was subbed.
Gerrand Martin was terrible so was the descsion of playing Olmo wide without an overlapping fullback.
The team needs actual forwards , and Ferran Torres will solve the issues as far as Barça fans will hate to admit
This is kind of a reminder once again of the lack of depth on this team. It's so bad that we have to put Martin in a game as not letting Kounde take a little break with 15 mins left.
Really disappointed with all these defensive errors.
Even as a barca fan we have to say we were lucky martin wasn't sent off by half time. Both of his tackles was clear yellow cards.
Flick has to take a lot of the blame here. Why are we defending on the half way line 2-0 up with 10mins when it’s so obvious the team is tired and cannot press. You don’t have to play the same way for 90 minutes!! Just see out the game man. Game state matters and you need to know when to drop and defend what you have.
A good coach has be flexible NOT predicable
Well said. 💯 Really hope Hansii sees this
We were relying on the same 11 starters and these last 2 games it shows that they eventually get exhausted if not injured. Kounde who was great throughout the season looked tired, that caused that stupid mistake and his bad performance last game. Other regular starters seem to be losing steam. Remember this: the team who has the best bench (definitely not our case) and the best squad depth wins championships and UCL. Not the team with the best starting 11. We need QUALITY backups for rotation and rest, not position fillers. Contrary to what some "supporters" think, players actually do need proper recovery time from intensive effort, just look at the injury situation (ACLs) and player exhaustion in all the big teams of Europe.
Pedri was not supposed to come out he's so good the way he keeps the ball is unbelievable when I saw him on the way out I was really surprised gavi is good but let's not put pressure on him he needs time same with de jong they need time to get back on their best .but why is it most of our goals assisted by the defenders most of them are long only if it's 19 he's the one who might drive the ball pass 3 4 opponent and make a better assist
Self inflicted damage. It's like we were trying to force to score/ create chances. After 2-0 we should have just controlled the game. We wanted to score more goals and ended up conceding and drop points.
Noo. Celta were gifted a goal by Kounde and Casado got himself sent off. That’s what happened.
Barca have always pushed for goals after scoring. How you do you think they have 55 goals and score 3,4, 5 a game.
Thats not what caused this loss. There was even a time when they did exactly what you said. They knocked the ball around and controlled the game.
Wrong! We had to go for more goals to put the game to bed. We are the architects of our own demise by Kounde gifting that goal and Casado taking the red. The moment Pedri and Gavi (who are work horses) went off and I saw FdJ come on I knew we would have issues holding ground in that midfield. And boy it was an uphill battle from then on
Unfortunately Casado and Kounde double down Barca today, but they need to learn how to protect a lead, high-line defense and offsite trap are not smart options in the situation.
@@chevonpetgrave4991 that's what I'm saying you can't win every game with 3,4,5 goals. You need to be able to lockdown your lead.
@@lawrence5841 you must be referring to after the red card. I get that. Even still. I cant say I would blame the team for going for the win given the points standings and parking the bus with 10 men is not fool proof either. The last two times we tried that didn’t work out.
Old habits dies hard, for a moment there we looked like Xavi’s barca
We have been for months
Stop glazing Flick, he can't even win 1 game without Yamal.
And don't let the 2 goals distract you, we were horrible the entire game.
Xavi won us a league . Stop bringing our legend down
Flick deserved a blame for a poor strategy to protect 2-goal lead
Xavi won us 2 importans trophies in our darkest time. Flick won us nothing yet. So, it's Xavi > Flick for now
I'm so mad we have bottled a 5-point lead 😢
fdj is done. We need to come to terms with that. Barca need a proper lw, rw replacement for yamal, and proper lb option. Martin should not play for barca the rest of the season. Kounde needs to be on the bench for a minute. We need Araujo to be fit as soon as possible
agree w/ you. araujo used to play on that right back position. there are some youngsters to try as a right or left wing. i am more concerned about our midfield, because when pedri casado don’t play top notch, everything literally breaks down…
No Lamine, Big Problems!
Kounde is the cause of this blunder and disaster.
Such a shame to because he played well until then
@dkbars1692 His tired. On the international break. He played for France in all their matches.
Absolutely. Also Flick why keep continue with Mark Casado as he was off . I would say Flick and KOINDE is reeponsible
@@mstfislamwe don't have any other CDM. Nobody can do his job as good as him
@@senatoraguolu4773 then he shod not go to the international team- as simple as that
Hansi Flick made a mistake to continue with Gerald Martini. The weakest link is the left wing of Barcelona. We need to go into the market for a left back & a left winger and a back up striker too.
Right back also,,,, Kaunde looks tired
@mimismile5948 I strongly agree.
Man, y’all need to give Barca players some credit. Most of our first eleven were playing for their national teams, of course they should be tired. Celta first eleven had two weeks of rest and of course they were flying and energetic. But there is no excuse for the capitulation in those final moments of the game.
We were leading but in the driving seat. We never had control over a period of 5 mins
Biggest thing I noticed is that the gavi casado double pivot is absolute shambles, it cannot work evidently.
If you think that was the problem, you need to wake up.
@@fatih8053 Dude without pedri in that pivot position that he plays in we weren't able to create chances .I am not sayin that was the biggest problem but that was fs a problem.

You see....without Yamal and Balde, we lose some speed and control. Balde in the game means, Raphina gets pushed up top to press. Yamal also press. Balde is better and quicker on the ball, which also helps.
Guys, is there anything we can do to demand Raphinha take the captain's armband and keep it indefinitely... A captain shouldn't only be about seniority as it's always the case in Barça. A captain should be able to inspire the team to victory, which Raphinha does continuously, whereas Frankie just sends us back to shitsberg

Olmo was absolutely shit today.
And Flick I don't understand why did he keep Cassado in when he was on a yellow
Exactly my point
Cuz it didn't matter
Cassado got that first yellow only SEVEN minutes earlier. Not like 30 or 40. And at that moment, if I understood correctly, was one of the only defensive minded midfielder left on the field and the bench. He and his role were needed for stability AND he was the only barcelona player on a yellow on the field back then.
Imo that was more Cassados responsibility to not do avoidable stuff like this.
Didn't he just get the first yellow a few minutes prior to the red?
@@TheMaleLynn it was so obvious that Celta's players were going to try and get him sent off by focusing on his side just like they did with Gerard Martin in the 1st half
Even a fucking 4 year old could've seen that red card coming but idk how did Flick not see it
Flick has to be held accountable as well as koundé. Playing a high line with a man down while trying to preserve our lead. Pure madness in my opinion.
Absolutely, that's a suicide and give away.
I agree.
Yeah dumb decision from flick, I hope he learns.
Not to mention with only 10min left....
OLMO should've been subbed off at halftime. I dont get some of these players mentality. Yes everyone wants to play and play the full 90 but you HAVE to bring the intensity every minute that you play like raphina and casado. in my eyes olmo was very frustrating to watch when he is "tired"
In my opinion, I think we need to have a plan B against teams like Celta and Sociedad. The high line should not be our only way of playing and maybe we should try different methods, I can’t believe we are leading by 2 goals, man sent off and they are still playing high line talking so many risk, in the end we were lucky to get away with a point. Celta was the better team and they deserved to win.
None of the goals we conceded had anything to do with the highline.
@edy3569 then you don't really watch the games
The high line was fine until flick took out balde
@@edy3569Highline is not something we should rely on, it will get us just matter of time
The teams figured out our offside trap, they figured out Flick! He doesn't have a real plan, just relies on a 17 year old to carry Barca, i've seen enough!!
Kaunde was shocking 😢😢😢,,, we desperately need LB,RB,LW and RW for rotation,,,,,
Honeymoon period is over lads😭 , we’re back , I hope you didn’t forget what we are capable of lol😂

At least there's a few non-delusional Barca fans.

U immature 0 ball knowledge guys doesn't need to be Barca fans leave the fanbase
Kounde honestly just zoned out and lost focus I knew right from the first half he wasn’t match ready mentally , martini was a gamble on flick choice and I don’t think that guy was ever meant to be in Barcelona .. overall opposition teams are starting to learn how to breach our back line and I think flick needs to devise another method to strengthen the defence so we don’t too much depend on high line tactics
We shouldn’t blame Kounde at all it’s a human error. Let’s learn to stand with this team even though the worst performances. Now’s not the time for “this is the old Barcelona” statement and mentality. We will improve
Thank you. The guy was clearly gassed heck even Casado too.
What is Hansi Flick doing??? You cant still play a high line after going one man down and 2-0 up. Why risk this?? is he that stubborn, why not park the bus for once?
People are saying that this resembles Xavi's Barca because they seem to forget everything other than last season. Flick is a better coach that Xavi but Xavi knew to let the team sit solid defensively in our title winning season where we have won many games with only one goals and only conceived in total 14 or so
Xavi honestly could have coached this match for a 1-0 or 2-0 win.
Right....Like how Xavi coached this team into conceding 3 goals to this very same Celta Vigo side last season. Lolol
You people make me laugh with your convenient memories😂
@@giornogiovanna845 Xavi beat celta 1-2 away and 3-2 at home last season🤨. Flick is a better coach but Xavi knew how to set up a good defensive team. Celta had 2.4xg this match, under Xavi celta had 0.75 xg in 1-2 win.
When Yamal gets the ball, he can either dribble his way out of pressure or be an outlet with his movement on and off the ball, or create quick chances by finding raphina and lewa with first time passes like we’ve seen with his big switches and lobs, it could just be that we’re missing that type of player that prevents the game from getting too chaotic with nonstop pressure
Flick had been overworking these players in training. And this highline system is taking a lot from these players mentally...defenders and midfielders are never calm and composed and teams sense that, and are not afraid of playing against Barca!!! There was and is no way players going to last the entire season playing with this much intensity!!
FDJ does not fit Flick's system and should not be our captain. Raphina wears that arm band like Superman
Whole team played poorly and FDJ only played small portion of the game, unfortunately Casado and Kounde double down Barca today, or high-line defense and offsite trap were to blame in this game.
Stop with the FDJ hate agenda he was not the reason we lost
How you people manage to blame Frankie for everything is beyond me.
He had nothing to do with the loss yesterday and still some of you clowns make it about him while neglecting the real problem
@@daveshep8872 Nobody led, not even Rafinha. Was he subdued cos he was out of position?
Raphina and Pena were the only players in that match.
Kounde, who has been one of our most reliable players, all of a sudden couldn't seem to play well today.
Inaki Pena had multiple saves today , his only flaw was not taking the steam out of Celta's game. He doesn't have to bounce the ball back into motion immediately every single time. Let the team get organised.
Hansi's tactics are getting figured out if we are being honest. Celta had like 1 or 2 offsides . They were making runs from deep and breaching the highline multiple times.
Lewandoski can't be our plan for next season. He's a liability in pressing and hold up play. Yes he's going to score goals but we seriously need to start looking at the future
But Hansi hasn't figured out that his tactic turned against his team lately.
The way pena let's goals in idk what you guys see in him, he barely makes a save, barely, that Madrid game is the only game I saw him be a goalkeeper.
People called me crazy but i said in the long run that Midfield isn't gonna cut it, Flick is more similar to Klopp than Pep and Barcelona is full of Pep players but he needs Klopp players.
Flick's System doesn't need fragile brilliant technicians like Pedri he needs players like Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Szoboszlai, Goretzka he needs warriors, intensity to play that style a whole season and never drop form.
Now we can stop being under the illusion that Raphina is a better winger under Hansi. Dembele was the best deliverer of the passes for Lewandowski. When Raphina plays a true wing, especially on the right he can not get service to Lewi. Yamal has filled this role and allowed Raphina to play as an attacking midfielder and overlap Lewi. With Yamal out Barca is not as dynamic. Olmo tries to provide service but since he’s in the middle of field it narrows the pitch too much. Balde and Yamal are critical to Barca’s success as they provide the width for the others to operate.
The Xavi’s transition is still ongoing.
Our players can not keep the peace for an extended period. They just can not.
The team is too unbalanced.
What they built in 12 weeks was destroyed in just two games.
It is totally because of players' performance.
Celta deserved to win that game. Lucky to get one point.
We need to be so active in the Jan transfer market.
Lamine Yamal is like our Rodri.
It’s quite disappointing that we dropped point in this match. To be honest with ourselves de Jong is not ready to give his best to the club for that reason they should off load him.
We need full backs more than anything, and yet the board only talks about forwards.
Gerrard Martin is trash ,I'm so angry about this ,and kunde really got me missed over the roof 😢
We are still struggling to create chances without Yamal. Both goals came about as a result of mistakes and not our own creativity. Lewandowski forced the second as a matter of fact.
Gerard Martin should not be starting games as well.
So as kounde looks like he was tired and doing silly mistakes .
Of course they gonna blame everything on De Jong and Martin. Yes they were really bad but they didnt affect the outcome. Casado and Kounde should take responsibility too
U are right casado nd kounde made big mistake that cost us this match but these two players are more impactful for the team as u have seen matches against madrid, bayern
Jamie, we all knew that Flick‘s style is always start the line up with very strong. I knew that Balde was not fit at the moment, but hey, playing Gerard Martin (yeah only this one guy) can make the whole team very2 disaster. Even in the 1st half we can see that Olmo, Casado & Gavi quite hesitated to play along with Gerard, they tend to pass the ball through mid or sending across to Kounde on the other side. I don’t know why Flick still want to play Martin. I rather play Fort on the right (although that’s not his position). Martin nearly being sent off right before the 1st half end. But thank god, Flick quickly subs him out. But then, when Fermin & De Jong coming in, I don’t understand why we need to subs Pedri & Gavi. The one who got yellow card among midfielders is Casado, but he doesn’t came out. WTF? and right after that, Casado being sent off 🤦🏻♂️. What a brilliant choice that Flick has made. Not finished here, now come Kounde, who easily made a mistake. I dont really understand what happen but I can tell you, Flick slowly turns to be like Xavi, made bad decision for first eleven, bad decision for subs. whats wrong with Flick? where is the aggresive Barca that we see before? Cmon Flick, use ur brain
Flick has to take most of the responsibilty for this one, 1- he left Casado with a yellow card when I thought for sure he was going to be replaced along with Gavi, but instead Flick took Pedri out and it cost us. 2- after the red card I was screaming for Flick to take out Olmo who was having a poor game and looked tired and Lewa who was also missing in action, except for the goal he scored, but that substitution came too late. another lesson that when you have 10 men, you must make adjustments and cannot simply keep going the same way.
3- Gerrard cannot start for this team, Fort is much better and the difference was clear today, we all can see it but Flick cannot?
Dejong should not see any minute in this team anymore
He’s just so frustrating to watch
Again we find a way to blame FDJ😂
@@longlaacheliu5630 Well how many chances do you want to give him? He doesn't track back effectively, adds nothing going forward, and kills our counter attacking play with his slow ass decision making. He was great for Xavi Ball because he liked slow ass build up and sideways passing but in Flicks system he is a liability both ways. Don't believe me though, if he keeps playing we'll see the same things over and over. The whole team wasn't good today and Kounde made a huge rookie mistake for the goal.
Unfortunately Casado and Kounde double down Barca today, whole team was frustrating to watch and not up to standard.
@@dragonmz9514 Fully agree!
@@longlaacheliu5630take out casado up 2-0 smh
Wtf was kounde thinking I'm fuming at him
Cassado was making mistakes while Olmo was not on it. I genuinely thought that we would sub Casado for being on yellow. But wrong substitutions then a disaster from Kounde killed us. We took too many risks with the high line.
Players looked exhausted. We pick up some players in the much needed areas(fulbacks and wingers) and we win these games comfortably. The lads are lucky Flick doesn’t speak Spanish or they would feel a tongue lashing😂
KOUNDE IS A COMPLETE OVER HYPE... I've said this all year long. That's the slowest player I've seen for my 19 years of watching football.
[Araujo, Kounde] are both over-hyped ... just like [Pedri, Gavi].
[Araujo, even Lamine] covers up for Kounde's weakness/mistakes at times.
Kounde looked good.
Araujo is mediocre ball distributor ... and not press-resistant.
Kounde improves his passing this season.
Sorry for Kounde who was perfect until the mistake. Something good from this game: a very positive impression of Fort on the left, hopefully acknowledged by Flick.
I don't know if it's me only who has realised that Gerald Martin still has alot to do because everytime he is in our backline is always not the same. Also today we were not playing our game,we constantly lost important balls. Lewa need supply
I don't know what actually happened to the team yesterday after taking a 2 goals lead but by the end things turned awful.
But, I noticed a problem with the full backs positions which need attention. Again Barca should learn to cool the games tempo that way other teams are frustrated. But if they forced us to play their way then we are in trouble. Kounde has been outstanding and I don't blame him though he needs to be more cautious. Again, Flick must start every game with his best 11 to avoid such calamities because it makes no sense keeping Balde on the bench and starting with Martin.
Another worry was Olmo, yesterday he was poor through out with poor passes and losing possession easily. The team's counsellors need to check out on these players. We've lost 2 valuable points which gives other teams advantage to close the gap but with more commitment and concentration things will get better.
It sucks but we move. Everyone except Raphina and Gavi looked fatigued. Can’t dwell on this horrible performance. Focus on bouncing back with an emphatic performance in the Champions League.
Olmo plays well behind the striker cen we try to use Pau Viktor on that left side and see how he performs
"Olmo plays well behind the striker "
Glad you saw that ...
Flick plays Pedri there ... literally as AM. That limits the goals ...
Since debut, [Pedri, Gavi] has not achieve G/A more than 10, per season.
People can't see the need of an AM ... even during Xavi's era.
Abundance goals flow with this ... [Raphinha, Olmo, (Lewy), Lamine] + (Pedri, Casado/Bernal)
Limited goals with toothless mid-fielders [Olmo, Pedri*, (Lewy), Raphinha] + (Casado, Gavi).
- Can try
[Raphinha, Olmo, (lewy), Toni/PauVitor] + (Pedri, Casado)
Time to admit it, Lamine is the future and present 🎉
I'm discombobulated, perplexed, and aggravated. This team is in shambles. A shadow of themselves. I'm shocked by Joules.
That was absolutely diabolical unnecessary pressure invited upon a young squad and if care is not taken.A lot can unravel a lot upon us.Enough of the blame game.That was a stinker of a performance.It’s just pathetic
Martin at LB just ain't it Fort should be next after Balde imo.
Worth saying though: Fort was super composed in those last ten minutes and played his way out of a few tight spots. Have no idea what Martin is doing starting ahead of him.
This one is on kounde, not casado as much as casado got the red it wasnt that bad of a red i thought, ofcourse it wasnt great from him dont get me wrong.
Bro seriously defending casado like FDJ fans? Casado have to take some responsibility for that unnecessary red card
@ yeah no it definitly wasnt a good performance at all dont get me wrong and i am not one of these people who defends a player performances no matter what so i think you need to relax
@@Eyeyorot Casado could have been pulled off definitely , but I think the foul could have been warned instead of an yellow. This was all because of Iago Azpas putting lot of pressure on the ref so he was forced to send him off because of the clearer booking he didnt make in Gerard Martin's case. I think in a normal game the two wouldn't have been booked.
I just have to say these:
1. Gavi should not start any game until he is 10000% fit. Even if he is inpatient, Flick shouldn’t play him on emotion. Fermin should start ahead of Gavi because of his goal threat and recent form. I believe if Fermin plays on the left with Olmo in the 10 position things would have been much better.
2. Gerrard Martin should never play ahead of Hector Fort. G Martin always cost us through unnecessary fouls or being caught onside. He slows our plays and offers nothing.
3. Without Yamal, we only have Raphina who offers constant threat. Th rest only wait for moments.
4. Why do Lewandowski keeps losing important balls at his feet. When he drops to get the ball he always have a very bad touch which slows our game play. We need a good backup or Pau Victor should sometimes start in the central position to give L9 a rest.
There are many things I want to analyse here. The players are becoming complacent especially the "key players" Cassado, Olmo and Kounde especially. And before people say because of the mistakes they made that's why am saying this. NO. In the sociedad game Kounde, Olmo and Cassado played really really bad especially Kounde and Olmo but everyone made it slide because the entire team in general was bad. Today they showed it again. This is the first time am seeing Dani Olmo play like a 2nd division player, is he still injured????? He couldn't run, gave the ball away foolishly in key areas especially the one that forced a huge save from Pena. Kounde has always had this thing about his game so am not really surprised but the level he has shown this season this was very bad. Marc Cassado needs some talking to, he should stay humble if he wants to be a top player, someone even remind him he almost left the club this summer and Bernal is ahead of him, just look at the second yellow card he picked?? How are you shoving someone who doesn't have the ball?? WTF is wrong with this kids??. And Hansi Flick also has to know that every game needs to be approached differently especially when things change. We were 2-0 up when the red card came and yet we were pressing high and playing a highline despite knowing the have Celta had a spare man. He should sometimes avoid certain risks, this system is really tiring and today a lot of the players were showing signs of fatigue. Against Monaco yes we were reduced to 10 men by the 10th minute so there was no need to defend coz it was 0-0 but this is different. There are certain games where we have already won by a landslide yet the team will be high pressing instead of holding onto the ball and preserving energy. If he doesn't add this to his game the team will really struggle coz there a lot of young and injury prone players in the team and the short squad depth even makes things worse. The board has to sign at least an attacker or a full back this January. Raphina and Inaki Pena were the best players on the pitch. Frenkie Dejong should be on the bench at this point, Gavi played today like he wasn't injured at all and then you see Frenkie, looking busy without doing anything, if you think am lying look at the 2nd goal we conceded, he was supposed to cover for Hector Fort but he was standing. They should take the captain armband from him and even make him leave this January am fed up, I have supported him all the time but it's too much
Ive just relive the araujo against PSG moment again sometimes we stil have have the Goal keeper to save us dont make the foul
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT KOUNDE ERRORS , HE CAUSED CASADO FIRST YELLOW CARD WITH HIS BAD PASS ,LACK OF CONTROL AND INDECISIVE ...
WE NEED A NEW RIGHT BACK ASAP..
FLICK SHOULD HAVE SUB OFF CASADO TO PREVENT THE RED CARD , HE SHOULD HAVE KEEP GAVI IN THE POSITION OF CASADO
I think it's always important that we try to keep players in their best position as much as we can, trying to alter too many players position at the same time won't come out good...Playing Pau on the right and keeping olmo, pedri and raph in their favorite position would have been good than what we saw, in the end we have about 4 players playing out of position
I still feel like at times some players get greedy when attacking. Like when there's a fairly simple pass to someone in a much better position but instead they'll shoot or pass it backwards so they can attack the box themselves.
No aura at the back.. maybe it's time for Sc to start starting because this defense is not sufficient long term...you have to be able to keep clean sheets my word!!
I think that we have become spoiled with several very young players (Lamine, Casado, Bernal, Cubarsi, etc.) performing almost impossibly well for their age. So when we see Gerard Martin (age: 22) struggling, we lack patience and think 'next'...
the tempo of Barca's passing game or high press has dropped drastically. Did anyone notice Pedri in the game. i dont think he made any telling pass today
What an awful performance for the second game in a row. It’s a bit of a wake-up call. There are several players who are doubtful. Gerard Martin is a disaster and has been every time he’s been playing. And I’m not convinced about Fort either.
But there are also some of the experienced players who are underperforming. Kounde is obvious, what a disastrous performance. Frenkie looks like he doesn’t want to play. Cubarsi has dropped in performance the last couple of games. We need Araujo back to give som rest to the youngster.
Another problem is that we have to many midfielders playing at the same time. We need to strengthen our attack heavily
I guess that was that. Old Barca is back... The mistakes, the heads dropping, the mental breakdowns, etc. We are back to dissapointments every weekend. I cant believe that we are so reliant on a 17-year-old boy. When Yamal is not in the team, then 3 points is impossible to gain.
Kounde! What were you thinking????
Casado! What were you thinking????
I turned off the TV when Casado got sent off, because I knew the manuscript in advance. Even though it was still 2-0 Barca, I knew the inevitable 2-2 would be realized., because that is what the old Barca would do (and they are back again - back in our worst nightmares).
Real Madrid is De Facto huge favorites to win La Liga yet again. They have it all. If they are great, they annihilate teams. If they are bad, which has been the case often this season, then they get the 3 points anyway...
I was so furious man. It felt more a lose than a draw for me. I couldn't even watch this video yesterday that's how passed I was😭😭😭. It feels like all the hardworking we have done from the beginning went to waste, that 4 - 0 win against Madrid means nothing at this point because we have given them the leeway. I honestly wouldn't ve surprised if they picked up form and won this league and we'll have the egg on our face. It's always individual mistakes that costs us titles the same thing happened in the champions league last season.
How are we throwing away this league after having such a lead??? Flick must hold these players accountable for that terrible result. Martin needs to stop being called up to the first team! He does not have the quality! How can't we win a game without Yamal on the field? That's seriously questionable and very poor on our part.
I do not understand what Gerard Martin is doing at Barça. I also do not see what FDJ brings to the play. Frustrating.
Honestly pena was superb today. In fact he was the one that save barca the most. What was the problem of the back line today? If barca are struggling with teams like Celta, what if they face brest that are very good this season? Does it mean barca can't win without lamine? Honestly this 2 points hurt
barca will def get the 3 points against brest. as someone who is following la liga for more than a decade, these average teams are harder to play against as you may think.
@amine8648 you can't say for sure
@@zakisamuel4655nah bro did u see that Monaco game. I think Barca are fine for Brest.
@Bakhtawar21 OK, I hope so
You can literally see how players avoid passing to Martin, meaning the whole left wing was dead. It got better after Fort’s appearance
I recognized that the last two games barca played extremly wide. olmo (who made a lot of first touch mistakes) and raphina not constantly in that inverted, more central position. almost no offensive build-ups from the midfield, pedri and casado totally off today. and when kounde had the ball in the final third he didn’t have that player to get to: LAMIN YAMAL!!!
And Gavi is overrated..Stop protecting that guy.. I've never rated him..Just a marathon runner who likes passing backwards
@@Catalan012gavi is a multi-positional player who is a top tier athlete. No further discussion needed
@@Catalan012Gavi has been top , full intensity and top pressing. I think Barca pressed well compared to their last game.
It should have been cassado with the booking that should have been called off , the game would have been won easily.
Teams have figured out of high line and our players are exhausted. Going to be interesting to see how Flick adjusts things.
You know what Jamie?...I absolutely can't wait for Flick to fully learn Spanish. So he can personally yell at the squad in the dressing room after lapses in concentration and horror shows like the ones today!😬😂😂. Ofc tho...we don't wish it to ever happen again. But still
Flick let us down with not correcting after the red but what hurt was half their team was barca rejects 😅
Alphonso Davies, leao, and Jonathan Davies would be magnificent additions to the squad
Frankie needs to leave the club lmfaooo this guy came on & did nothing. The whole energy shifted once he came onto the pitch. How is he one of our captain???
Despite the draw, I just like the way Fort played
We will bounce back!
