Match Thread | Man City vs Barcelona (18/02/14)

[ACMilan]

If you wanna beat Barca this is how you'll have to do it.

Easy to shit on other teams when they use these tactics, but sitting back, holding them outside your penalty area, and hitting on quick counters is how you win.

Welcome to the knockout stages, gents.

Townsend talks so much but says fuck all

Only Silva can play a ball apparently...

 

[Mr. Aguia]

Can't see past a Barca win. We're having a job getting the ball, and when we do get it we can't keep it.

To be fair with all their possession they have created fuck all.

 

[PJM1891]

In the minority here I guess but our defensive composure and structure looks excellent so far tonight, very promising.

This! The defensive play is very disciplined.

 

[baldybouncer]

Alves went down soooo easy there!

 

[Mr HJ]

Fucking cmon Demichelis

2 shithouse passes

Yes but three very important interceptions - get off his back already!

 

[RandomJ]
