Barcelona Vs City Pre Match Thread

[Nascent Blues]

You wouldn't think we were watching an English channel.

And that it the reason why I am turning the match on at 7:44 and 30 seconds.

Jovetic having a good time already. Looking sharp!

Jovetic (not in the Champions League squad) has made the trip and is looking dapper.

Sky's just waffling on about our bad defending, anyone of us could go on there and criticise our defending, Henry's actually a shit pundit.

Lets try not to concede for at least half an hour.

I'm always glad I don't watch Sky Sports when I read these threads, it sounds like they have a go at us every single week.

Decent line-up, fingers bloody crossed neither of the centre-backs get injured or sent-off though cause we've got nobody to come on from the bench. I expect them to get a penalty and us to get a red card at some point, but I still think it'll be tight and we will score at least a goal. Come on City.

We're not going to go through are we

To be fair I've not heard Arabs mentioned yet, though I did hammer screw drivers in my ears when Henry started talking so who knows

The way we've been playing recently what do you expect? I could understand the complaint if we'd just won 10 on the bounce.

Kolarov has done OK ,the last couple of games he's played. IMO.

That's because he is usually played against weaker teams where there isn't much defending to do. Marking Messi may prove to be a little more difficult.

I had wondered if he'd try Zaba there as he's played him left back before or Mangala for his pace and defensive attributes. He's gone with what i think is our most balanced attacking line up though and I guess that makes sense as we need goals.

I'd like to really see us try and press them high up the pitch and make it difficult for them in possession.

It could all go horribly wrong but we are due a slice of good fortune. 2-1 City and we go through on penalties.

This game is all about opinions. We have enough arguments amongst ourselves about what's happening at the moment.
Anything said is not going to affect the outcome. Only the players can do that.
So, i take it all with a pinch of salt and am so looking forward to this game.
