Barca v City Post Match Thread

[kaz7]

PEP: We created enough chances to score goals. After that, the game was over. Since Glasgow, things have happened like that. #mcfc

AWe have had to change the dynamic but I asked my players to play with personality and we did it. #mcfct that level, it's hard. Until 10 v 11, the game was open and we competed against a very good team with huge personality. #FCBCity

We have got to start taking our chances , at Spuds Aguero missed three opportunities in the last 20 minutes , we battered celtic for the last half hour and couldnt socre a 4th goal , we missed two penalties against neverton and we created enough against Barca to be level before bravo fucked up , these are the facts we are playing some briiliant football but making basic defensive errors and missing golden opportunites to win games . It is going to click into place in the next few games and no one will live with us , the month of May is going to be one long celebratory piss-up , keep the faith .

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

So if we had won, would that have had nothing to do with the manager? I suspect not hey?

Simeone has done it without money by building a team. Maybe Pep will get there eventually but it doesn't look like it's going to be anytime soon. But hey ho, according to some, it's ok because we were shite in the past.

That's a whole lot of shit in one post there fella

Which part? That Spurs have a few decent players or that Guardiola, who lost three times consecutively to Spanish opposition in the semis, whisper it quietly may not be the best manager in world football.

Look I get that he's the best manager that City have ever employed. But what pisses me off is that he doesn't recognize the limitations of his current set of players.

Messi magic won it for them, helped by sloppy defending when down to ten men.
Should have been 1-1 at half time, Gundogan's effort was brilliant but it was a great save. and with Sergio to come on i was confident of at least a draw.
Get rid of that awful orange kit.
City to batter Southampton.

Football is a funny old sport.

We have played worse than that against Barca and been beat by a lesser score.

I actually thought that apart from a 15 minute period in the middle of the first half, we were by far the better side until Bravo got sent off.

We was just as good in possession and created by far the better chances. It was a simple slip which gifted them the lead.

I thought Pep got it spot on tonight and we shown than we can compete with the elite sides as long as we cut out the individual errors. For the first time we went to the Nou Camp and played as an equal to Barca.

Feel we're Gona see the end of Kun in the summer :( think pep likes strikers that can do more than just score goals.

Ιt was our best game so far but the absence of Yaya and Hart pisses me off so much that I could blame Pep for Catalan hidden agenda theories ...

Okay I'll play what team would you have played tonight and of those who made comical errors what would you have coached them to prevent those errors or maybe you would have replaced them with who?
