Nasri Toure Fernando Silva
Aguero Dzeko

Its basic, if we cannot beat Burnley away or at home, then we cannot beat Barcelona. End of.

Football doesn't work like that.

No but on this occasion it will!

Those who have watched us for long enough would not be surprised if City turned up and got a result.

If we can score inside the first half hour, Barca might hedge their bets.

Such is our inability to go the extra yard, however, in terms of workrate, I do fear a long and painful night, just as Arsenal and Chelsea have suffered there in recent years.

Run, run, and run some more. And when you've done that, repeat, and run again.

2-1 City. Extra time we score. I like to be an optimist.

As posted elsewhere, Barca run about 3km per game more than our lot so we need the City players to put in an extra 3.5 metres per minute to go the extra half yard. Fat chance.

This game will send the media into a frenzy when we get hammered.
All those smug 'pundit' cnuts will be in their element!!

Put Frank in for Yaya and that is a decent side...that will at least F-ing try.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

If Demichelis & Fernando start im gonna lose it big time. Mangala & Fernandinho have to start.

Hopefully he will play 4-5-1, but we all know whats coming, 442 with Fernando in a 2 man CM.

Re: Barca v City Pre Match Thread

This MANAGER AND HIS 442 SYSTEM derserve a proper thrashing against Barcelona.

I don't mind someone having principles and sticking to them (4-4-2) but when those principles are consistently proven to be unsuccessful then it just becomes stubbornness and there is no place for stubbornness in any form of management, football or otherwise. Play 4-4-2 and lose and he might as well not board the plane back.
