Barca v City Post Match Thread

Try Navas there, I think he could do a job.

It's ok, Martin Petrov has been sent a text and will play on Sunday

You lot are gonna be disappointed when we win the domestic treble.

Lol so true

we didn't play well and made some bad mistakes. but we got beat by barca so no shame in that and move on to the next game.

Fucking joking surely. It's the fact that he is not working with what he has got. And anyway subsequent to the summer signings there is absolutely no team in the PL with a squad as good as ours. United and Liverpool miles off. Spurs have an excellent manager but how many of their players would you want. Arsenal are talented as always. We should walk the PL and if we don't then it will be Pep's intransigence that is responsible.

quite a lot of them actually. I'd have their entire back line, keeper and some of their midfielders, same with Arsenal. I think you're wearing blue tinted glasses if you think our squad is in better shape than theirs. We're probably on par with Liverpool

To be honest I thought we played well,as good as anytime against Barca,all this bollocks about them being poor was partly down to how pep set us up,it's just (against some of the top sides)we don't get that rub of the green,that bit of luck going your way,also and more so against Barca we end up with players booked early doors putting them on a tightrope for the rest of the game..Obviously you can't legislate for mistakes or your keeper coming out when he could have stayed where he was,but things aren't as bad as some make out,the good thing is we have a home game on Sunday to get ourselves back on track..

He made one mistake today with his feet and unfortunately it cost us...you're actually like he misplaced every pass

Are you impressed with his performances so far? Have seen nothing that warranted getting rid of Hart.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Now this is laughable.

Yet it's not, he wasn't the root cause of the problem but he just gave up, he was with Messi and just left him to it.

 

[WorsleyBlue]

We've lost 5 on the trot to them

So we are due one right?
FFS ! we handed them the game, they didn't give us a chasing like in other matches

That smart suited guy on the touch line tonight might have a fair shout (and I don't mean our smart suited guy). Simeone might run him close though. To name just two..

You seen some of barcas results this season? And Simeone has done a cracking job but so have plenty of others who have failed at other clubs the result had nothing to do with the manager tonight

Every time we have come up against the elite in this comp when it has really mattered, we have deservedly been beaten.
Tonight for the 1st time we seemed to be on an equal footing, yet we shot ourselves in the foot and ended up getting tonked when the game was there to win.
