2-1 to Madrid. They completely stopped all of Barca's passing game in the first half through pressing all over the pitch. They had about nine chances to score, seven of which were 1-on-1 with Valdes who was superb.pride in battle said:What score was the recent Barca v Real game, how did they play?
Skashion said:Of course he'll know that wasn't us at our best but he'll be comforted knowing two things; we're being complacent and conceding on a regular basis and there's every chance we'll do so in Europe because we've hardly set it alight yet and won't ever if we keep defending like that.Sam. said:Skashion said:Probably went home rubbing his hands with glee.
Surely he won't be daft enough to think that was us at our best.
If so he really he is the 'Special' One.
Apart from backing us to win the title from the off last season, and from January after we signed Dzeko season before that. Oh, and last season I also predicted that Aguero would be more than an adequate replacement for Tevez - when most people shat themselves at Tevez maybe leaving, and half-way through last season, just before we played them, that we'd finish more than ten points ahead of Spurs - at a time when most people were taking them seriously as title contenders. Oh, and after Sunderland at home last year, when most people shat themselves, I backed City at 3-1 with AlthamBlue (another member who I know outside the forum), that we'd still win the title.The Scarlet Pimpernel said:Yet we were complacent in Europe last season whilst being the complete opposite in the league.....words spring to mind...merchant of doom ;)
