Man City V Barcelona Pre Match thread.

We played well against Newcastle but at times they had a lot of space and Dzeko and Aguero had to track way back in the wide positions a good few times. Can't see those spaces not being there tonight and Barca are more likely to do something with it than Newcastle.

 

[Andouble]

it's an acceptable line-up away from home if we need goals to advance.

To keep a clean sheet? On paper, a disaster.

This is an awful line up...doesnt Pellagrini ever earn? If we the game is over by tonight then he deserves to go imo.
Fernando and Milner two of the worst players you have keeping the ball are the two players starting against the best posession team in football. When those two played together recently, they were outplayed by the mighty Middlesbrough.

I will happily apologise if i am wrong but if Barca cannot get past Milner and Fernando then they have really regressed. Dzeko shouldnt be starting...Fernandinho should be...I mean you have to pack the midfield against a team like Barca...watch them play through us and expose the gaps like Dortmund and Bayern did to us a couple of seasons ago.

Pellegrini must have been offered the Chile job today and playing Milner as a CM against Barca is the quickest way to put his notice in

We'll notch 5 tonight as well. Mark my words. 5-2 final score. It's been coming in Europe for a long time. This'll be our 1-6.

skybet will give you 200/1 for that

And I'll give him a gobble and a free ride voucher for my missus

Mdm or mangala
Zabba or sagna

It's neither here nor there

What is worrying is a midfield two of Milner and fernando , that's as poor as it gets

 

[teddykgb]

It's got to be more of a 4-2-2-2 right? Milner and Fernandinho probably instructed to sit extremely deep with the other 4 changing positions in attack. We've got no width whatsoever on the pitch, so I can't see them expecting the midfield 2 to get forward

 

[ZZmaestro]

Wow! Even I would have started without Dzeko today. Not sure sometimes about Pelle's knowledge of the uefa rules, and the importance of the away goals. But I hope I'm wrong. Go City!

Well, you don't get a job of manager in an elite club, Million's of wages to boot with while having no clue of uefa's rules, mate.

I think Manuel hides something up his sleeves with this team tonight, maybe i'm wrong.
Anyway, just support the lads and give them a huge shout, we can dick them Barcelonuefa scums.
