Well yea, but look at the last 5 league games, they could’ve been running away with the league, but they’re in relegation form now, 1 win in 5 is crazy
When u compare barca's form from the beginning of the season to the last few games, it's arguable a worse downfall than cities. They went from the best team itw, to having relegation form in la liga.
@@Chehan17But City have been actively AWFUL. Barca have still played relatively well. also add the fact that almost all of barcas games have been away from home. lastly, noboy really expected barca to be in a league title race to begin with. flick did great things with this team in a very short time. barca set new standards for themselves and are now struggling to keep those up.
Aren't they collapsing then? They have only won 1 match in the last 5 matches. Also Barcelona is playing worse and worse as well. Teams are figuring out Flick's his tactics and that's hurting them a lot. Only Yamal is keeping them up
1 win in 5, only 5 points in those 5 games as well. Letting an off form Real Madrid with injuries go past them if they win their games, this is more or less a collapse from looking like the second best team in the world after Liverpool
Barca short bench is showing itself. Even today, the subs did nothing. Fdj was trash, ferran was the worst barca player (even with his goal), pau victor done nothing, fort was also meh. To compete, we need depth. Also yamal is hard carrying. He was the only one doing smh later in the game. Szczęsny needs to start too. Pena was good today but he is shaky and in those last few games, could have done a bit better on the goals conceeded. If I were in charge, sell fdj, ferran, garcia and fati. Buy a creative winger, a fullback and a striker
@dylanohare6660 fdj Has one half to his name this season. Is that really enough for you to keep the highest paid player in the league? Did he perform well vs Madrid? Yeah. But was he bad almost every other game? Yeah too. If flick deploys him further up (which is fdj position) and he does well, he can stay. But if he keeps making defensive errors (like he Has for years) then he can go
Barça doesn't even look bad. We're still making chances. We just aren't finishing them as much. Also, because we're rotating the squad WAY more than we we're in the first 10 games. Once we get a bit of momentum, we should be fine.
Barca and madrid having a competition on who can bottle the most this is reminding me of the 2018/19 season when both and Madrid was bottling and having stinkers but barca at the end of the season ran away with it I wouldn’t even be shocked if atletico wins this year
Never ever ever compare the horrid Man city side to Barca. We perform but lose consistency in small moments and end up conceding. Shit ass rage bait, and fuck it worked on me.
As a Barca fan i am not surprised or upset as i saw this coming from a mile away, the fans who were saying we were the best in the world are always a joke to me. We have no bench players and quite honestly half of our starting XI was over performing heavily. The only players sustaining their form are Raphinha, Pedri and Cubarsi. My breakdown of the remaining starting players: Pena, very shaky in my opinion. He makes some goods saves but offers nothing other than that, he also loses the ball way too much by just kicking it out for throw ins. Furthermore, he is very small and has no real presence in the box during corners and set pieces. Kounde looks pretty gassed out and has been playing very pragmatically, which isn't bad but also compared to his more risky plays in the begging 1/4 of the season which really helped in opening up the right side for Yamal, simply means we have less movement on the right side of the pitch. Martinez makes way too many errors both with his feet and when defending, i think he was great whilst the 'off side trap'/ high line was effective, but the moment we come up against teams who play direct and over the top he is exposed as he is physically not capable of keeping up. Personally i can't wait to see Aruajo back as his physicality is needed. Balde is the most dissapointing player in the team for me... he has everything a player could want physically, but he does not look up with the ball at his feet. Balde has a real hard time getting balls into the box, furthermore, his understanding of tempo and how his team mates make runs is worrying for a player who is playing at the highest level. Casado, at first he felt like the missing piece for Barca, but with the matches we have recently seen against more closed off teams who defend deeper his productivity has significantly dropped. Barca are a team which like to go blow for blow, and for that Casado is perfect as his quick ball retention and good understanding of where to place the ball makes him a valuable piece in a high tempo match, but when the game is slower and you have to break down a low block he is quite useless. Olmo/De Jong/Fermin is who we have seen playing at the 10 role for the past few matches and this is honestly where i see the biggest issue in our team at the moment. At the start of the season this sector of the pitch was the area in which we created the most dangerous chances and controlled our attacking play, however, with the injury to Olmo and De jong and fermin simply not being able to play the role, we have seen how the absence of a 10 is detrimental to our play. As for Olmo himself, he opens himself up nicely, but he reminds me of bruno ferandes a lot, a very low efficiency player, in the sense that he takes a lot of silly shots and impossible passes instead of prioritizing the efficient play. Yamal has been great however the injury meant i just had to leave him of my consistent list as he missed a couple of games. Lewandowski... how has he scored all those goals the way he is playing? honestly, what an annoying player. How many times does he lose the ball due to a bad touch or a miss placed pass? he has some of the worst back to goal play i have seen from an elite number 9, sometimes i wonder if he only knows how to play facing the goal. Sure he has scored a good amount of goals, some being in very big moments, but when he is not scoring we are playing a man down as he is not pressing or having any sort of positive impact on the play.
Barcelona got no bench that's the problem. ingo and cubarsi gets no rest they're tired and it shows araujo being back will help them regain some that form
I’m backing juve for a draw against city, people think city will steam roll them, I just don’t see it, I’m just sceptical of juves injury’s hindering them even more, it’s been pure pain, these draws feel like loses.
More than anything, Barcelona has problems with its rotation of players due to the lack of depth, Madrid also has enough individual quality to beat the teams in the upper half of the table or take advantage of a drop in a team of good level, especially thanks to Courtois, Vinisius and Bellingham, also Atletico Madrid is solving its internal problems and they are beginning to gain shape
barca players are tired they physically cannot put up the energy and intensity they had in the early months of the season, and our squad depth is so shit that our starters barely rest
Barca in my opinion lack players who have that X factor. I would say Lamine is the only player on that team who can create a goal out of nothing. Every other forward on that team requires someone to help create. Their team depth doesn’t help either. Their defense tends to wet the bed under pressure as well.
I wouldn’t say Barca are collapsing their starting 11 usually gets the job done their issue is the quality of their depth they have zero depth in key areas such as fullback and wingers the second one of their key players gets injured the quality of play takes a massive drop their cbs have also gotten pretty much no rest Araujo and Christensen still aren’t available to play and their young cbs aren’t experienced enough not only that but their midfielders have also been struggling De jong has been terrible still trying to get himself together since his ankle issues, gavi hasn’t played an entire year he’s gonna need time to really make an impact on the team and hansi flick doesn’t seem to trust Pablo torre despite looking very good when coming off the bench the only solution for Barca is to make some signings in January to help them in terms of depth.
Barca just needs to get something else at CAM that's were Olmo has under performed since coming back from injury I'd really start relying on Pablo Torre
people really don‘t have opinions about teams anymore lol… like barca milan beat real madrid 3-1 at the bernabeu and won against inter aswell and nobody said they are one of if not the best in the world but as soon as barca wins against bayern and madrid everyones going nuts shits crazy lol
@earlstaples5941 Yh but I think because the fact the gap was so big at the top of the la liga but now its bscly a three way title shot again, it kinda is a collapse in the sense that you probably wont win the league now. Like if City and Arsenal closed in on LFC in prem, I would say its Liverpools collapse and im a Liverpool fan. Does it mean we wont be able to recover, nope. It might just be a minor setback.
@Sz7_yt I hear it and I agree with you, I just hate seeing my team fumble like this bro, I feel like the term collapse is kinda harsh tho given that we’re doing quite well for an underdeveloped team especially in the ucl, Hope is all we got and videos like this just tear us down honestly
@@earlstaples5941 Yh I get it, was lowkey hoping Barca win la liga this season, I cant stand Real Madrid. Basically the man city of la liga in recent times, cheating scum.
@@rufinosanchez8309 courtois is the most or second most important player for Madrid. The amount of points they would have dropped in both the league and ucl this year is mad if not for his saves
Rodri is that big honestly stop plays and starts nearly all they play from bk can play short long middle and he sprays to wings massive loss to city. They should of bought a dm for cover last yr he played too many said he couldnt play another season like that if wasnt injured cant have best dm in world n expect a kovacic to fill boots or a lewis
Don’t agree with this. Did you even mention that they’ve started the same back line since the start of the season due to injury? How does Barcelona need to wake up. lol just wait till Christensen and Araujo return before judging 1st place Barcelona.
Why are his videos on real football. He has the broadcaster personality down very well and generally don't like any u.s.a ones other then dempsey but that's only cos of lingo
@uzer4935 the club is bigger than xavi, and you must accept that. the work hansi flick has done without any transfers is comendable. once FDJ, Eric Garcia, Ferran and Fati are replaced we will have good depth
Barca are nowhere near as down bad as man city
