    Aye. They had a mix of everything last season. This season using Guardiola's philosophy, it has been a bit confused.

    They pass and pass and pass and for such an attacking team, they look turgid and non-threatening.

    Tika-Taka was good for Barca, I just don't think its applicable anywhere else.

    Granted, this is just a miniature version of it.

    Exactly. The Barcelona players were brought up with tika taka and knew how it worked. To try and instill that in one season, with players who are used to expansive attacking football is difficult. Bayern are a different beast. They were more direct under Heynckes.

    I think there are two key components of Tika-Taka and nobody else in the world can have them.

    As their names are Xavi and Iniesta :smiley-laughing002:
