Man City V Barcelona Pre Match thread.

I'm not at all confident but I am foolhardy.

Which is why I have five shiny pounds on us to win by 3 goals+

I see Zabba , Clichy , Dzeko and Aguero are all on yellow cards. If they get another tonight - no second leg for them.

Hmmm,I wonder what odds you would get on only these players being booked tonight..

Thought they were cleared after the group stages? Seems harsh if not.

Yaya, ferna, samir and dave unplayable. Lose yaya and it makes it more difficult. Hang on, lets drop ferna and bring in Fernando and ask jimmy to play where he is not comfortable. FFS Manuel. Happy to concede i am a dick on 90 mins, but i bet i don't have to.

Milner and lots of Bluemoon posters keep telling people CM is Milners best position

 

[Claytop]

We'd all love to be proven wrong come 90 minutes but deep down we know how it will pan out.

Makes no sense ffs

I wonder if the team line up has killed alot of excitement in and around the Ethiad?

Just bunping the teamsheet so people don't have to search for it

Double checking the City team

Yep, 4-4-2 and Miner-Fernando CM

 

[Carstairs]

4-2 City.

2 apiece for Dzeko and Aguero.

 

[Dax777]

Like it or not, 4-4-2 is Pellegrini's formation. It's our formation, and we won the PL with it last year.

Yes this is Europe, and yes there is a great chance we will get dicked over. But it is our time to stamp our mark on the competition, our way.

Good point, the other issue is at what point you stop being afraid and start having the balls to go for them. I think today is that moment

Playing with the team that gives you the best chance of winning is not playing afraid, its playing smart! We need to stop confusing the 2.
