Post Match Thread: Barca vs City

[The slaughtered lamb]

Depressing. Never felt this bad when we were shit. Take a bow joe hart.

They are simply a better team than us....


We have a long way to go to be competing with the likes of these, Madrid teams and Bayern.

We're about 5 players off. We're not far off at all, messi tonight was unplayable. Swap toure and messi around and we would probably beat them.

proud of the effort and joe
Some of you are disgusting in your comments

Or disappointed?

The second half is the blueprint for how we should play.

Full credit to Joe though, absolutely incredible performance today. He can walk of that pitch with his head held high.

if im honest score flattered us, if wernt for joe we would have been hammered, fern,merlin put in a shift, joe was in a class of his own.
we have shit loads of work to do, blame pell or players?, its 50/50 for me, but pell will pay the ultimate price im affraid

I'd love to say we went out with our head held high, but we were made to look like a Sunday league outfit with a world class keeper by a much, much, much better team.

Wish Sergio hadn't bottled our best chance of the night and at least made the last 10 mins nervy for them but alas, not to be.

great fighting spirit in the 2nd half, Hart was immense and all their chances came on the break when we were pushing up. Poor poor penalty from Kun though. First half tactics very wrong, appalling performance from Nasri in the first half...Navas injected pace in the 2nd and we looked much better

Our season has now come down to fighting for 4th place, and make no mistake we will have to fight for it.

Messi was excellent tonight .
That lad was quality .
City did miles better than the match against Burnley .
Joe Hart was quality tonight .

 

[Meatbag]

We showed a glimmer of what we're capable of in the second half & Joe was impeccable.
