Barcelona vs City - pre-match thread

[pml79]

So we flood the midfield for control and you think that makes us more likely to concede lots?

Just don't think full backs will be able to handle the pressure from Barca attacks Nolito n sterling need to have brill game tonight

 

[mosssideblue]

Agree. The only way he is ever going to be mentioned in the same breath as Messi, Suarez etc is to massively up his contribution to the rest of the game aside from scoring goals.

A lot on here won't like that, but IMO it is true

Anyone know when the sky free view kicks in? Not working yet.

 

[malg]

Ok, just got in. Has anyone mentioned Zabaletta and Kolarov yet......?

 

[razman]

Pep has been hinting that he wanted more from kun... Wake up call for him... On bein sports... They did mention.. There is a chance he may be still have the knock from the international break

It'll be on about 7.30 i think

In my opinion Pep gave rest to Zaba and Kola deliberately, so I would be really surprised if City going to play 3 center backs...

What I expect at least one surprise from Pep. It's almost a given thing.

So Zaba and Kola in the squad.
And surprise - absence of center forward.

Pep is going for a tie.

Think pep doesn't like certain players and his team selection tonight kind of confirms this. Hart gone,yaya,nasri,who's next, kun? Komps? No sign of his fabled youth development either. Need to see a big performance tonight to justify this selection. Let's hope the team delivers.

You're a star. I guess I don't need the hammer then!
