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

[bluebrother55]

This is the result of the season for us so far and Pep's finest hour since arriving here. It's also a clear warning shot to North London and Scouseland that we mean business. Hopefully starting with 3 points against Boro at the weekend.

I don't feel like Pep already made up his mind about this.

I think Stones is a given now, and rightly so, so much potential in him both as a defender and a "footballer".

But Otamendi / Vinny and even Kolarov as center back I don't think anyone is ruled out yet.

Otamendi always very energetic, but still looks like a headless chicken during large parts of the game. Often running out of position to attempt an impossible interception and leave loads of space in behind him. We've seen this a couple of times against Barcelona too.

Vinny I think still the best of the lot, but relying on him is a real problem. You want a partnership you can count on.

I really like Kolarov as an alternative, always calm, great passing and vision, but obviously less defensive ability than the others.

Oh, and I'll tell you why the second half performance was so good, the music. 'Hit the North' The Fall and 'Waterfall' the Stone Roses. There was a really good tune in between those two, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

Come home from work to read the match thread and it is not there .....has Hillary Clinton hidden it on an email server ? :)

I also like to read the match thread, key moments specifically. Why is it removed so soon after the game?

I meant team for Tuesday night not forever, I think Otamendi & Stones are 1st choice as it stands with Kompany's injury concerns.

Still can't believe how well Kolarov and zabaleta played. Amazing.
