Barcelona Vs City Pre Match Thread

[chris85mcfc]

I'd argue that's down to teams being beaten mentally before a ball is kicked and their attacking prowess rather than their actual defensive capabilities.

not being funny but id say its down to the fact the other team barely has the ball

Wont argue mate but my point stands. This Barca side are no great shakes defensively imo and can be got at.

Best form of defence is not letting the other team have the ball

You don't really need a top defence when you have the ball as often as Barca do, and also the speed in which they look to win it back

You would have to swap Milner from the right as Kolarov will need plenty of support and Silva doesn't offer that.

Need pace. Navas HAS to play.

If we need pace and I don`t disagree with you,but why the fuck has Kolarov got ahead of Clichy then in that starting eleven ?

Ive said that in my assessment of them but we have to be confident in our ball retention and not give it away as easily as we do against sides like this and we have to get at them. We do that and we will hurt them, no doubt about it.

Tonight is not a night for sitting back and being shrinking violets as you play right into their hands.

Whats that got to do with what im saying?

Yes they are a great side going forward and yes they are a great side in possession and yes we have been poor of late but we have the game to hurt them if we are at it and they are not a great side defensively imo and can be got at.

On that note im out before this thread turns into a "we are shit and I want sackings" thread.
