TheGoodJoe: Those drop in numbers actually saw Barcelona gradually walk away from their famed ticki tacka to a more direct approach. They weren't comfortable with the idea, they panicked and sacked Enrique even after winning a treble. That was the story. |

TheGoodJoe: High, but not exactly ticki tacka. This passage from ESPN says it all... The shift is real, though, and is troubling for Barcelona: That control has largely gone, the midfield is being overrun -- the midfield! at Barcelona! -- and the performances, if not as catastrophic as is claimed, have not convinced. They are losing their footballing religion, it is true. Finito |

bazooka1: I wonder if you are paying attention. Enrique plays an attacking variant of tiki taka. You can not say he is no tiki taka. Look at the image below. That is Guardiola this season against West Ham. The possession stat is 60% which is high. Enrique having an average of 61.9% is highly possessive. Below is Guardiola. Look at the possessive stats. It is lower than even that 61.9%. Finito. 1 Share

jihday: It is people like you that will be blind to the development of the likes of Pedro and Busquets who were young players Guardiola crafted into Superstars. Guardiola's impressive work is evident with Phil Foden who has repeatedly put on brilliant displays. His only challenge is that he is up against some of the most outstanding talents in World Football like David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan. 1 Like

jihday: Phil Foden's potential to become England’s missing link as a creative influence in midfield has already caught former Three Lions skipper Rio Ferdinand’s eye. The 18-year-old was more conspicuous at Wembley than Chelsea’s Ross Barkley, once seen as England’s brightest midfield prospect, and Ferdinand was encouraged by the teenager’s demeanour and maturity. He said: “The biggest compliment I can pay Foden is that you didn’t even feel City were missing Kevin De Bruyne or David Silva on Sunday – there is no higher praise I can give him. “Although we all enjoyed England’s World Cup run, at times they were crying out for a creative influence in midfield, and this kid has the potential to operate in that position. “In the Community Shield, I liked his weight of pass, and I liked the way he made the right decisions with the ball most of the time – which, for a boy of his age, is something you don’t often see. Usually, you have to wait a few years for that aspect to emerge. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-whizkid-phil-foden-13045336.amp ![]() |

Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand is the latest to praise Foden, believing the youngster is similar to City legend David Silva and the impressive Bernardo. “He seems like a carbon copy of the two Silvas in the way he plays,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. “It’s two great players who know how to play the game the right way, in a system that can teach him so much. “And even sometimes just being in the squad and watching it, even as a young kid, just sitting on the bench and being in that environment is sometimes enough. “And it’s as important sometimes as even just playing at this young age.” ![]() The bolded echos my point of Nacho staying and learning his craft at City. Training in such an intense system, learning things from the other quality players and getting a game or two here and there would have been enough for him to keep improving at an impressive rate. |

TheGoodJoe: Hold on a sec. Barcelone front six under Enrique was, Neymar... Suarez.. Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets. It is academic these guys will out pass most teams they played even if Big Sam was their coach. The question is not about having the upper hand in their possession stats, we are talking about ticki tacka. A peculiar kind of passing game that focuses on recycling the ball slowly, sideways passes, total dominace of the midfield. Enrique wasn't all about that. He wanted the ball moved faster to the front three. This resulted in significant drop in possession. Busquets pass completion dropped from 91 to 80 same as Xavi and Iniesta. Barcelona fans saw this kind of football against the Cryuff blueprint. Messi in particular threatened to quit the club. Enrique just had to go. However, he achieved just as much as Guardiola achieved without ticki tacka.

bazooka1: I wonder how else I am to break this down to you. No one is saying Enrique is the same with Guardiola. Heck, I am one of those who watched both at their purest stage when Guardiola coached the Barca B and when Enrique did the same. The difference was clear. One (Pep) prefers to hold the ball longer than the other (Enrique). That does not mean they share totally opposite philosophies. It is far from the truth to tag Enrique (No tiki taka) because he is from the same Barcelona Train of thought, championed by Johann Cruyff. They are both possessive coaches that rely a lot of short passing of the game to hang on to the ball. That is the tiki taka philosophy. Even though Enrique played in a more offensive fashion, he still relies a lot on dominating possession and winning the ball back in a long time. So, let’s start with the tactical similarities. Guardiola’s Barcelona and Enrique’s Barcelona play very similar styles of football. As with most Barcelona sides, they like to have as much of the ball as possible, and a lot of the build-up play involves the midfield trio. In 2008-2012, that was Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets (although pre-2009, Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure were involved rather than Busquets). They also adapted a style of play now famously known as ‘tiki-taka’ football, which essentially involves lots of short passing and good movement off the ball while getting themselves closer to goal, before a player plays a pass to completely split the opposition defence open, leaving the forwards with just the goalkeeper to beat. In attack is arguably where the biggest change has come. While Guardiola’s Barcelona relied heavily on midfielders getting the ball to the forwards and getting assists, in Enrique’s system, the bond between Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar is so strong that at times, they could win games playing on their own. https://readlaliga.com/2016/02/24/guardiola-vs-enrique-comparing-barcelona/ |

bazooka1: They (Guardiola and Enrique) also adapted a style of play now famously known as ‘tiki-taka’ football, which essentially involves lots of short passing and good movement off the ball. Note this for next time sake. Tiki Taka has a lot to do with dominating possession utilizing short passes and brilliant off-the-ball movement which both Guardiola and Enrique share the same ideals. So hence you can not tag Enrique, no tiki taka. |
