Barcelona vs City - pre-match thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Perhaps we're considering 3 at the back and 6 in the middle with just Kun up front.

The idea being to press the fuck out of Barca as in general teams sit off and give them loads of time.

If we lose it may as well be heavily rather than by a single goal as it doesn't effect our goal difference again Celtic or BMG.

We don't really expect anything there anyway so maybe Pep will try something out of the ordinary.

Bravo
Zabaleta Otamendi Stones Kolarov(Clichy?)
Fernandinho
Sane Gundogan De Bruyne Sterling
Aguero


I'd play KDB and Gundogan ahead of Silva tbh

Silva will be the first name on the team sheet

I'l take a 4 nil defeat. Anything better than that is a bonus.

That's the spirit, after our display against Celtic I can't see barca posing much of a problem:-(

Stones----Otamendi----Kompany----Clichy
------------------Fernandinho
Sterling---De Bruyne---Silva--------Nolito
--------------------Aguero

Fern could maybe go right back and Gundogan in midfield but Fern in the middle gives us a lot more energy and Stones could do a job at right back.

Gotta feeling we'll get something there. We're due something. I'll go for a high scoring entertaining draw similar to Celtic

Manchester city should never start an important game without David Silva in the side. Ever.

100% spot one!

Sheer lunacy to think otherwise IMO
