We rode our luck a bit at times, when the girl hit the post in the 3rd minute, I feared the worst, but we dominated the first half with power and skill, and (as usual) frustrating finishing kept it at 1-0 at HT, so again I rather feared the worst.Yeah, i got that wrong. That's the 3567th wrong 'un I've clocked up for City! It was a much better and brighter performance than I've seen all season at The Joie. Why can't they play each game with that intensity. Mind, Barca had their moments. The right winger had a couple of one on ones and shot straight at Yamashita who, incidentally, was a lot a better tonight than on Sunday, although there was an occasion in the first half I thought I was watching Twinkle Toes Grobelaar when playing out from the back! But a very good win. Well done, girls, ladies, women, lasses.
Not at all - think this was the best I've ever seen them playI'm glad someone else thought that. City tonight were not the team I've seen all season!!
Certainy was for the first 45 minutes at least, not sure we managed the ball well in the second half, there was about 15 minutes where it looked a bit pannicky, but in all honest they didn't create that many good chances really.think this was the best I've ever seen them play
Me too. Would have been happy with a draw but we played a blinder tonight . We definitely put a spanner in the world of that world class midfield engine with a relentless press. That first half was superb: I was worried we would tire in the second half but Bunny delivered yet again .The guy next to me when it was 2-0 said he'd have taken that at kick off. I said I'd have taken a 0-0 at kick off.
You've not played them yet have you?I was so impressed by City in pre-season, even in the game you lost to PSG, that I have you as favourites for the WSL. I also believed you would beat Barcelona last night. The thing which impressed me was the quality in your squad. Quality in depth. It's a long season, but right now City are the team to watch.
The only thing that provides me hope as a Chelsea fan is that Brighton gave you a real good game the weekend before last. It's fair to say that Brighton are looking much improved so far this season but, even so, I didn't expect them to compete so well against you. I'm clinging to the hope that others can do what they did but right now City are the team to beat.

It was, wasn't it first game too ? An absolute disgrace.See if you can play us this year without a bent referee sending our players off for fuck all until Chelsea equalised. That game effectively cost us the title and it was an utterly disgraceful refereeing performance.
