Barcelona 8 Osasuna 0
Possession 84-16
Messi Hat Trick...hit left post, right post and crossbar.
Finished the match with 3 fbs and a midfielder at the back.
Absolutely astounding how poor Osasuna were, and how these teams lay down for Barcelona, Real Madrid, Rags etc.
The way they play football is just technically brilliant, yet so easy to do in my opinion. You constantly move for your teammates, you constantly pick the open man, and you play back if you have to. Short sharp passes. Should be taught from an early age. The 'Barca' style should be a coaching manual.
We are getting there. But we dont have the mentality just yet, and our opponents are not quite afraid to come to COMS, whereas the Nou Camp is virtually a day/night out for most away teams.
When Silva, Nasri and Aguero link up (and company) for the odd 15secs of brilliance and a goal we look like them. I dont want us to try and be Barcelona though. We are City and other teams should want to be us. The way we play should put fear in all teams like the way Barca plays.
What a joy to watch though that lot. Everytime.
