I just can’t understand why Flick isn’t making use of the extra subs.

Why would you play Pavard and Alaba out of position?

Alaba is a better CDM than CD
Pavard a better CD than RB
Kimmich a better RB than CDM.

I think nobody tells him the rule updates. Even when the amount of subs were increased, we weren't filling them up.

Interesting subtle tactical decision by Flick I'm noticing here. Lucas and Alaba isn't a great pairing, but the more tactically competent Alaba is the one on the right this time with Lucas more naturally on the left, the opposite of the few times we've seen this pairing before. At least we're learning.

Only the Kimmich one is even possibly true. Give me a break.

Lucas with the tackle we bought him for. 90% of our players would stand off in that situation. You can’t teach that aggression

Ah, finally a 4th sub.

LOL ramsej84 had too much to drink and now deleted his post

Me neither, we look like some extreme orthodox sect. No 9 bench players and no 5 subs, even when we are leading 5:2.

Give them all last 15 minutes to score more.

We trashed them and revenged them after 5:1 in Frankfurt. Good job! Gratulation zum Sieg, FCB!

True. But Flick did notice this very quickly to his credit. It took only one or two games where Lucas played as a RCB and everyone could see that if this is going to work Alaba needs to be the RCB.

Imagine if it was Boateng in his position.. I love Boa, but after 65 minutes, he's out of fuel, just like Xabi in his last games with us.

We really need to try Davies as LW with either Alaba or Lucas as LB. He can't possibly be worse than Perisic.

Honestly I’m afraid to jinx anything with Davies progression. He’s in world class form at Lb and I don’t want to change anything. Let him ride and use other players to fill the holes.
