We scored one goal against Fulham that was Barcelona-esqe, in that it was great passing
I only saw the second half, but Barcelona did what we did against Fulham for the whole half. I sat there open mouthed at the awesome football that they played.
They were absolutely awesome

We're light years behind the team they just hammered.
In the cold light of day, looking at our team, I can see maybe 4 players who will be here long term and good enough to be. It's going to take at least 4 years to get to the level to compete with Barca and it may not be under Mancini's reign. Sure we could play them, and try and knick a result but to play as good a football as they do, we just don't have the players who can at present.

They always have 3 or 4 academy products and undoubtedly barca fans in their team. Playing for the club means something to them. We haven't got one.

1 of Barcelona's goals last night was at the end of a 25 pass move, which rightly, they commentators were wanking over.
1 of our goals v Fulham was at the end of a 24 pass move. Brief mention by commentators, when on top 10 goals of the week, they only showed the last pass and finish

A 25 pass goal v Madrid, (when you're Barcelona), will always get a million times more wanks and praise than a 24 pass goal v Fulham, (when you're Man City). Thats just the way it is.hertsblue said:mrksdawn19 said:We scored one goal against Fulham that was Barcelona-esqe, in that it was great passing

I thought their left back was poor but the others were superb. Not sure about Madrid, think they lost discipline after the 2nd goal. A better team might have got a goal back and given Barca something to think about.
City are probably 5 or 6 years away from competing at the same level as Barca.

Actually, these are points I wanted to raise last night (but I ended going to poker, which I won, but I digress...).
We've, recently, been playing in such a way where we've been trying to control possession and search for an opening. Barca went back and forth between the mid and defence, last night, in a similar way to we have, in recent games, yet they are applauded on here whilst our own 'fans' find us 'boring' and are 'not paying money to watch that'.
I cannot work you people out.
