City 3 - 1 Barcelona - Post match thread :-)

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

And just to think Pep's had us for just over 3 months. If we stay consistant and keep improving...holy shit can you imagine?

Was very confident after last match but playing our best 11 bar vinny made it easier.
On We go now and the game in Germany will be awesome. Can't wait.

Does Vinny get into our best eleven anymore? For me John and nicolas are our first choice centre backs with Vinny as a 3rd one should peps tactics warrant

So so proud of every single one of them tonight.

This. So proud. I was sat there looking at the effort and desire,even at 1-1, and thought these lads are outstanding. We must carry this through to the prem now.

I know he scored 4 in 2 vs us but anyone else think Messi has lost a bit of his edge. Where's the stop start dribbling gone?
Shouldnt of cut and died his hair blonde the Nasri wannabe

I'd have vinny in mate,I like Ottamendi but can be erratic, good as back up though and that's what we want,good back up all over the pitch. Me and you have watched some shite :)

Well...I'm a right fecking panicky knobhead after the last 2 weeks aren't I ?

I feel ashamed for ever allowing a doubt to enter my mind about the manager and the effect he can have on players.

That was simply the best performance I can remember seeing from City in my lifetime. Especially given the opposition. Also in a game we couldn't afford to lose. Going 1 down and coming back with belief in each other and in the managers instructions.

Quote my posts, call me a dick, you'd be right, and after tonight I couldn't care less.

Th first time I've seen City go toe to toe with a European giant and they fucking battered them. Rest assured not one team in europe will want to get us in the knockouts.

Mods.. if you see me signed in on here within 24 hours of a loss or a draw just save me from myself and ban me for 24 hours. It will save me making myself look like a c**t.

As I've said in recent weeks defending the team and guardiola, this is the very beginning of a new era at city, it needs time, patience and our support. We're still miles of being a consistently great team, but it will come. There was plenty on here starting to get wary of pep, I couldn't believe what I was reading. Good of you to own up though.

Sort of agree but he still has the vision for time and space,he's yards above others in his head.oh and can still finish :(

Some said the decision to rest players against the rags would only be proved right by winning the next 2. well, there you go.

I said at the time pep got it bang on. It seems really arrogant but we are way above a 4th round league cup tie ,even against the rags. A nothing game.

Excellent performance last night. Worked their socks off and bar a 15 minute spell after Barca scored, fully outplayed them.

I think the last 2 games have fully vindicated peps Derby line up.

Great to see Zabba back to something like his best last night.

Brilliant night.

In 30 years time young lads/lasses will be saying I was there.

This game tonight reminded me of that AC Milan game at Maine Road back in 1977.

Unbelievable night...Historical night....simple as.

York away was better.
