Barca v City Post Match Thread

[Goater=Legend]

Sorry but we beat Sunderland, Swansea, Stoke, the bottom 3,West ham, Bournemouth,piss poor United team. We should have beaten Everton I agree. But the only class team we have faced Spurs were all over us. It was good to watch and sure as hell Pellegrini wouldn't have got 18 points on the spin.

We got beat by 3 of them teams last season under Pellegrini so not sure how you've come up with that

I can't believe some of the posts! Pep has had 14 games, yes 14 (including champions league). We've beaten the rags easily and almost everyone else! We've just been to camp nou, where we made some silly mistakes and lost to Europe's best team. Pep will make sure we learn from it. We have our own Brazilian wonder coming in Jan. It's gonna be some season!

They are not the best team in Europe but with the front 3 they are capable of beating anyone

Was any oil synthetic sprayed at Nou Camp - there were just too many players slipping and all of them MC. Either MC did not have the right shoes or Barc had the right shoes - maybe shoes to handle the slightly slippery conditions ?

Before everyone starts saying it is crazy idea - in US the multiple SuperBowl champions New England Patrioits were caught with playing with deflated balls. Did not stop them because they had the strongest team and were usually favorites.

Ah well, fuck it. Didn't put away the chances in the first half.

So what, did you expect us to win every game? We've lost twice out of 15 games so far yet still top of the league and 2nd in the group (and let's be honest we were always gonna finish 2nd the moment the draw was out) and yet some on here are acting like the world's gonna end.

It's a marathon not a race, enjoy the ride and stop acting like rags everytime we don't win(not you specifically)

Are we fuck on par with Liverpool

If say we are on a par with Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal, we don't stand out and are not going to walk the league like so many on here seem to think and are imo the least clinical and sloppiest out of the four. We haven't a cat in hells chance of winning the CL and one of four possibly six sides in the running for the PL.

 

[robbieh]

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

I am calming down a bit. Rose for sure at LB, despite the diving. Lloris but would Pep want him, he's not a sweeper. Maybe Walker as we are piss poor in that position. Dele Ali obviously. Erickson maybe. Dier yes.

Arsenal have a whole loead of talent I agree. But the point is Pep is supposed to be a football genius whereas he currently look like a guy who got lucky just like Luis Enrique. Surely great managers beat better teams by outhinking the opposition

We won't be winning this in the next 4 years FACT

 

[philiph20]

I too would take their entire back line, especially the full backs.

Far superior to ours and you can include the keeper in that as well.

Totally expecting the loads of negative on here.

Result didn't reflect result. We played our best match vs Barca and it turned in to a heavy defeat. Bravo had a great game up until the first mistake and the red card. And so on.

Tactics spot on. Nothing wrong there. Disappointed but the signed are good.
