I thought we were pretty shit to be honest, Barca played well for 20 minutes, but we could still have lost 10-0.
To me it emphasised who we need rid of in this squad, and its quite a few......
Those that were good enough tonight....
Hart, brilliant tonight (but he's not always).
Kompany, a couple of early mistakes, but did well otherwise, defenders will make mistakes against their front 3.
Demechelis, as above.
Fernandhino, our best player after Joe.
Milner, not the greatest footballer, but he never stops trying or gives up, and will play anywhere, as he had to tonight to cover other shortcomings.
Silva, tried and tried to create, difficult night for him, and he's not on his best form.
The rest were average to dreadful.
Sagna, did we sign his twin brother ? didn't put a foot right all night. Useless going forward, pretty useless defending too.
Nasri, back to f**king useless, and should have been sent off, played like a prick tonight.
Yaya, lazy bastard unless we were heading towards their goal, and their goal highlights why we need to get rid soon, we need a better team player than that.
All need to go.
Kolarov, was OK, and had a tough job, but that stupid foul on Messi, is every reason why we need to get rid.
Aguero, wasn't good either, doesn't do enough for the team in games like this for me, doesn't ever defend from the front, its required at this level. I have some sympathy for him as he was utterly isolated, but on more than one occasion tried to be billy big bollocks when a pass would have put a colleague in with a better chance.
As for the subs....
Navas, runs about a lot, tries, but completely useless as any kind of threat.
Bony, where to start ? we played with 10 men once he came on.
Lampard, the game was at his pace when he came on, but he offered little even then.
We need a HUGE shake up in the summer, we are light years behind Barcelona and the like, much like the rest of the PL.
Of those not involved tonight.
Mangala, needs time, but needs to up his game.
Zab, is far better even off form than Sagna.
Jovetic, gone.
Fernando, also needs time, but I can't see it working.
Clichy, I'm comfortable with.
Boyata, I'd keep because he can fill in.
As for the PL, this season needs to be a big wake up call, I couldn't personally give a shite for the other clubs really, but while our league might be competitive, and exciting, its nowhere near good enough in europe.
Its no embarrassment losing to Barcelona, who are good anyway, and are on top form right now, however, we are light years behind that level.
Oh, and the TV commentary and punditry tonight, f**k off, you'd be right behind any other english club, but you are w*nkers about City on a regular basis.
