Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

[Thaksins Love Child]

It's not Barca's Defense that's the problem. It's Bayern's pressure. Bayern are playing like Liverpool. And they seem to have the energy and Athletism for it.

That style bothered Barca last year against Liverpool. And the style bothers is too. Hopefully, our superior athletism to Barca's will help.

But Bayern as much as I can't stand them are having a team defensive blinder.

All their front players are playing like Gabby.

Agree but barca could have still have scored at least a couple more.

 

[manchester blue]

Get Messi’s agent on the phone tonight

Why? He's bone idle. No press, strolling.

If I was Setien I'd just leave the stadium now

helps when the midfield is paying a homage to an oap outfit, more walking than battersea dogs home

 

[WestGorton]

I wouldn't start Rodri vs these.. he struggles vs pressure. I'd play Gundogan and Bernie

City got to beat Lyon first. I went to Lyon.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Such a high line from Bayern! Just boot it over the top!

Like us, it's not in Barca's DNA - We really need to do it more to keep defences concentrating on all possible options.

 

[Beanhead]

So, 1-0 then.

Nah.. Raz would hit 2 from 5. Also we would have conceded 1. So I’d go with us beating Bayern 2-1 at half time :)

joking aside.. if Bayern played like this against as they would get punished and vice versa..if we meet in the next round there would be a bucket load more respect shown towards us. I think it would be cagey but we have an equal chance of winning should we get past Lyon.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

If they press like this and play the same high line against us, Ederson will be putting Sterling in over the top

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I think, if given a level playing field, we will hammer them.

I am just not confident that will happen.

Providing we see Lyon off I'm very confident of knocking Bayern out.

 

[dadnlad]

hopefully this will go to extra time and pens

 

[RayCTID]

If I was Setien I'd just leave the stadium now

And not go back to his home in Barcelona.

 

[Akpowell]

At least our players will know what there up against if they're watching

If that is the issue, then we haven’t got much chance considering how we tend to struggle against the dippers, (unless we pull off a masterclass). Lyon game comes first.

 

[Josh_D]

I fear typical City.

Beat Lyon. Beat Bayern.

Lose 1-0 to Leipzig with 42 shots.

Have more hope against Leipzig. Their front line don’t seem to be in sync. No Werner as well. Pace of Raheem will keep WB on his toes. However, you’re right. That would be typical City.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

I think we'd have to go false 9, Walker as almost a 3rd CB to cover Fern, no Rodri, Sterling on the right and Jesus off the left, maximum pace and energy

 

[mccity]

If they press like this and play the same high line against us, Ederson will be putting Sterling in over the top

I reckon we'd do what we did at Anfield in the 0-0. Sit deep, knock it around patiently. Play long if we have to.

Press like madmen in the middle.

 

[Oleole123]

Everytime bayern attacks it seems there's a goal in it.


I get Brazil Germany feeling

They have played well...but I haven't felt like they've gone for that 'blitz/gegenpress' that overly intensely. Just pressed and jad cool.heads.
Barca have been utter tripe - can't even leep hold.of the ball and making it easy for bayern.
The more I see, the more confidence I have
- should we get past Lyon.

 

[christened at st marks]

Where's FC Barca

 

[buckshot]

As scary as they look I have faith that if they're fortunate enough to get by Lyon Pep will have the right game plan.
