Barca v City Post Match Thread

We have one top striker and he didn't play so if we had 3 and they were all on the bench how would that have helped? How would a top striker stopped the bravo cock up?
I think if we had 3 top strikers to choose from then we may have had a better option than starting with 5 midfielders.
 
Battered us. As expected. Hey ho. Anybody that didn't expect that was living in cloud cuckoo land. Not on the same planet.
Still, not arsed, as long as we do well in the PL.
 
Thought we did alright, but luck wasn't on our side (again) Not going to top the group now and if we dont get a win against Gladbach will miss out on 2nd.
The draw with Celtic could come back and haunt us.
 
Anybody that thought we 'played well' is living on a different planet. We were absolutely schooled. Never looked like winning. Rarely looked like scoring. Huge difference between the teams. Not sure what game some people were watching. WE. GOT. HAMMERED. End of story.
 
Totally agree mate.

It's cringeworthy that some think we are ever going to reach the level of the likes of Barca - we seem further away than ever. And the so called best manager in the world...hmmm.

Then you don't "totally" agree with me.

There are some posters who have a ridiculously high idea of where we are currently, others who have a ridiculously high expectation of where we should be 4 months into the new manager's tenure and yet others who have ridiculously pessimistic view of where we will be in due course. I'm looking at you Yaya.

Just support man and let it play out.
 
Barca played poorly tonight, and not all of that was down to us making them play poorly. They replaced two of their main defenders and still we fail to score. If the game had ended 4-3 or 3-2, then I'd agree that the evidence supported a narrowing of the gap. But what could have been 5-0 without the penalty miss does not a narrowing a gap make!
The score is simply indicative of the Bravo error. Barca didn't play well because we didn't let them. The fact that you recognized Barca played poorly says it all. They were stymied for 55 minutes. Scored on a slip-up by Dihno and then took over once they went a man up. We are not as good Vas Barca and we don't have Messi either, but we sure looked their equals there for a good period. And that's why we are closer.

You really think that? My advice to you would be to watch the match as it unfolded, stop being a knobhead, and have a mature and sensible appraisal of the game. Even the rags who watched the game with me couldn't bring themselves to say we looked out of our depth. Give your head a wobble - and set your alarm clock - school in the morning.

You either watched a different game, or are a rag. The latter is obvious to some of us!
 
Oh dear, some of the ultra blues getting upset. As usual. As it happens, boys, I was there in '68 when we brought the 1st division cup home. Still, if you think we were anywhere near that lot tonight, carry on dreaming. If it makes you sleep better. We were schooled. End of story. No shame. Premier league is all that counts.
 
Scoreline suggests a humbling, but it was frustratingly anything but.

We gifted Barca their goals through sloppiness and bad luck, but otherwise there was little between the two teams, if anything City looked the stronger aside from finishing.

Hey, shit for brains, like to repeat that in public?

He's right. You either watched a different game, are a rag or both.
 
Just watched the match up to the red card. I thought we played as well as them up to then. I'm not too worried about what happened after that horror show when we had to play with 10 as the match was decided. Bravo basically made three errors on that play: getting outside the box for a ball Stones was positioned to deal with, passing it right to Suarez, and then using his hands on a ball that would have hit him in the chest as he jumped. Astonishing lack of composure for a keeper that is supposedly good as a sweeper. More worrying than the result.

Oh dear, another uber blue. If you think we were totally outplayed (4-0) then you're a rag! OK, after nearly 50 years, I admit, I'm a rag! Or maybe I've just seen a bit more football than some of you cretins, and realise when we've been hammered. Still, like I said, if it makes you feel better, and helps you to sleep, then carry on with your delusions. We were crap. In comparison. No shame. Get over it.

We were brilliant till the sending off crap after and every Barcelona goal was our own fault.

Hahahah. You've given yourself away with your keyboard warrior attitude. If you can't have a decent debate without verbally abusing fans I suggest you get your head down and get to bed.

You're calling us City fans cretins? 50 years and you think that gives you the right? You're a knobhead. Age doesn't give you that fookin' right!

Maybe they didn't have to move away from Gear 1? They sure seemed like they didn't break a sweat.
 
Our young full backs surely can't be any worse than what we have at the moment, what they lack in experience is exactly is where they will learn fook all from the present incumbents. At least they are agile enough to get a tackle in ffs.
 
We have too may many happy clappers on here,who can`t understand that our Manager fucked up from the word go.Forget individual mistakes,he should have gone with the strongest team available and KDB is NOT a replacement for Sergio !!!
A bad day at the office ? Maybe ! Or maybe our manager brought this on by his own ego that Sergio needs to do more work outside of the box.Whatever it was it badly misfired on the night.
Blame the stupidity of a goalkeeping error, but at the end of the day,Pep dropped a bollock and is not the Messiah but a very naughty ...
