Man City V Barcelona Pre Match thread.

[Puppet Master Silva]

Barcelona have been terrible in the last year or so, however they have got suaraz. We need kompany to be on top form for the match, I still think manchester city have got this one.

Barcelona haven't been 'terrible'. Where do people get these silly ideas from. Sure they haven't been the unbeatable team they were a few years a go, but they are consistently good, and practically one of the 3 best teams in Europe.

Barca, Real, Bayern. Those are the big boys.

The fact he went to Suarez before Messi and Neymar is an indicator of how much he has actually watched Barcelona play.

I see Kompany is mouthing off in the press again about how Barcelona hold no fears for us. How about sticking to doing some talking on the pitch Vince. Because you ain't been doing much of that recently you utter tit.

Pellegrini too. He said the same last year about attacking Barcelona and then came up with a defensive tactic. Think he will do the same tomorrow.

I've got no idea what formation I'd play really, nor do I really know which players I'd select to play in this formation, I'll leave it up to Pellegrini and trust his judgement on these issues. I do however reserve the right to slate him and publicly hang him out to dry if the formation and personnel he chooses falls flat on its face. That's pretty much what the Bluemoon supporters' charter says isn't it?

I find it incredible to believe that some people think, or even are suggesting, starting Lampard v Barcelona. It would be suicidal

Barca players and their forums are saying this is the biggest game of their season , imagine that likkle citeh , Barcas biggest game of the season , maybe we arent as bad as some the doom and gloom merchants on this forum think we are , eat your heart out rag lurkers.

no reason we cant win this to nil. CTID

How many to nil though?

2 or 3, something conservative ;)

I hope City are ambitious in this match, not just focus on nullifying them and playing just for 0-0. Of course, not conceding is important but I hope City show some attacking qualities as well and not be ultra negative like last year, especially in the first half.

Why's that? Are Barca full of pace in the middle? I believe we need someone who has been there done that. Experience is vital in these games. Even if its only an hour.
