Barcelona vs City - pre-match thread

[Cityisland]

So Zaba and Kola in the squad.
And surprise - absence of center forward.

Pep is going for a tie.

I'd snap your hand off for one. No shame in that. Any team in the world would take a draw a the nou camp.

BT Sport 2 says it's 'freeview' tonight. Nothing on my screen so far

It's on BT Showcase on freeview, coverage has started.

Kolorov isn't going to become a worldy at left back all of a sudden. He has time and again shown he is terrible in this position. Against top top players he is going to get his bum spanked even more. Infact id push him and zaba into midfield even more as to not get one on one then man mark with otta,stones and fern as a third cb.

I've got it on Freeview Channel 59 'BT Showcase' and it started at 7pm. Not sure if different on Sky.

Ive got no issue with the line up personally. Its an away game, in a league, and the hardest fixture in that league, and we have planned accordingly

 

[SWP's back]

Think pep doesn't like certain players and his team selection tonight kind of confirms this. Hart gone,yaya,nasri,who's next, kun? Komps? No sign of his fabled youth development either. Need to see a big performance tonight to justify this selection. Let's hope the team delivers.

You never stop do you.

Kolarov and Zabaleta up against messi and neymar. This could get ugly.

Nothing on Sky atm. Might just be coverage and none of the buildup?

I'm not expecting to get anything from the game so i guess the line up doesn't really matter
