Barcelona were perhaps unfortunate to fall to defeat against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, but there is little arguing that he is under pressure to turn things around. Not only did it leave them behind in La Liga, but it also added to a series of concerning statistics.
Before the game, many had pointed out that despite the differing narratives between their two seasons, Xavi Hernandez and Hansi Flick had both taken 38 points from their opening 18 matches – Xavi won his 19th. It is also the first time Barcelona have lost three home games in a row.
Already Flick has lost Liga games (5) than Xavi did in the entirety of last season, but the Blaugrana are on the worst run of form in the entirety of the division, with just one win and five points from their last seven games.
As pointed out by MD, those losses are costing Flick comparisons with managers beyond Xavi too. They say that Flick’s five defeats in 19 matches are a loss rate of 26.3%. It compares poorly with Xavi (15%), Ronald Koeman (21%) and Quique Setien (16%).

Some people say something just like they have not yet play football always say something that will help you tomorrow for me I have the hope that we Barcelona we will do something better than last season. life is all about time today you can be a winner and you will be happy so if sometime you see yourself as a lesser you just have to work and put more time

I kept talking about this high line football but my colleague Barca fans didn't understand me. The high line press requires the entire team to be spot on throughout the 90 mins else we suffer. It is a very simple tactics to play against in recent game styles. Maybe now, people will understand me.

l knew it will come to this if you watch el classico you will believe with me that they where every lucky in that match because of Mbappe if that was last season when Mbappe has not come or find his form back that match will end in disgrace for Barca may be 6-0 . That is how they last the five match they press high too much that they forgot to defend it works in Madrid because of Mbappe speed it might not work next time

Koeman was overperforming with squad he had: Mingueza, Abdi, Jutgla, Semedo, Langley, Umtiti, Pjanic, Braithwaite, Trincao, Puig, Demir, Firpo… Laporta always knows better…

Mbappe showed how full he was in that El Classico, imagine being caught offside 11 times alone, he should have changed his approach since he has the speed. Mbappe singlehandedly gave Barca the win

I think the comparison is well placed, perhaps primarily to draw his attention to the fall from grace and the need for him to turn things around and come back strong after the Xmas break.
