Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

We rarely take our foot off the gas in those situations, our problem is often getting our foot on the gas before we concede a daft goal.

Make no mistake barca were truly shite, resembled a pub team at times, messi was a disgrace in that second half.

Most were. No pressing. No fight. Suarez the only one to try. Did Griezmann touch the ball? There was a moment in the first half where Messi pressed their defence looked around him and saw no one close. It was just a shambles the whole night.

I'll bet Bayern wish they'd saved that performance for the semi-final. Difficult to reproduce that against anyone, let alone a team that won't throw in the towel with half-an-hour to go.

Hmmm something doesn’t seem right with this Munich team,yes a team of good players some very good but in context an unknown coach suddenly within a few months has them playing football like that,endless running I’d even go as far as saying they could play another ninety mins against a fully fresh team and play at full tilt,reminds me of Leicester city title win ..

I agree, I can’t explain it. They are playing like City in the Centurions season and look unstoppable. How long has Hansi Flick been in charge?

They are "skint" because they pay astronomical wages for players who won't be on their wage bill if they rebuild.

Messi alone gets 100 M with all his bonuses and clauses. They will definitely have money but they need to let those players go first.

How do they get them off their books, or are the contracts up. They could all do a Bale.
You can see why they are shit scared of City’s/PSG financial clout

That truly frightened me.

This will be a tough one for city. We do not have pacy players out wide to stretch the field therefore davis will be bombing forward all day knowing he can track back. We could use the pace of Sane right about now. Fingers crossed that if we get past Lyon we play one hell of a perfect game against Bayern. We can't play Rodri and Gundogan in midfield together which will make us a bit slow in the midfield. Fernandinho is susceptible to balls over the top. We need a hail mary here, Lord.

BREAKING - Eric García would now like to sign a new contract at Manchester City.

 

[lonestay]

Bernardo will be suicidal about finding himself in that Barca team !!

First time since 2007 no Spanish team in the semis.

They play such a high line they are definitely beatable. Barca were piss poor tonight.

But they score more than everyone else. That's the issue. We'd have to defend for our lives to beat these. They can put 7 past anyone, including us.
