CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

[FC B]

Nasri: "We showed Barca too much respect last time. We won't be doing it again."

destroy these fuckers.. 5-0 i'd say...

Ooh. 2-0 would be perfect for me no need to destroy them like that. We better save the 5-0 for the rm game

 

[Gasgas]

I leave my prediction in the air,
If the barca of the past few games shows up 4-0
If the barca vs malaga shows up we lose 2-1 or 3-2

 

[FC B]

Nasri is such a scumbag....
Glad it is a free day from work cause Independece Day here, so i can fully prepare for this game. Have to watch it on stream tho, TV channel is showing Borussia-Juve... Anyone can say where could I find HD streams?

What a stupid decision to air the BVB-Juve game instead of City-Barca one but I'm familiar with that sort of shit. My very stupid national tv channel chose in 2010-2011 season a Roma-Shakhtar instead of Barcelona-Arsenal
and at that time I couldn't fiind a decent stream and had to watch the game a bit later when found it.

The last time an English team said "It won't be like the 1st game...we know how to deal with Barcelona now!", #Wembley2011 happened.

 

[FC B]

How the hell does City have a better team right now?!

From their line up only Silva and Toure would probably break through at Barca... Other than that we have better players

Better individually and way better as a sytem/philosophy of play. But ironically this ain't always enough because this is football.

People are seeming to suggest Zabaleta won't play, apparently his form is very poor and it could be Sagna.

It's funny how one game can change things, we were amazing and City were in terrible form before Saturday, now they have a better team than us, we are weaker than last year and it's back to doom and gloom.

Classical doom and gloom.

Yeah sure , attack from the start. Just gtfo.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Bla bla bla... I expect Leo to shut up every mouth tomorrow night.
This is gonna be traumatic for City fans.
1 - 4, see you next season, (hopefully) Citizens !

The chances are Barça will control the ball and have high possession. If they have an off game like v Malaga for instance, they'll make sloppy passes, losing possession and get hit on the counter attack. Long balls have proven lethal to our defense. If you were watching the game v Levante & Malaga notice Bravo was quite high up the pitch. He was almost trying to play like Stegen & Neuer. Against Levante he was in quite a stupid position but did manage to recover. Against Malaga he bottled it and we all know that lead to Alves ultimately f'n up.

That worries me in the defence if they let the long ball get hoofed up on the break, Citeh do have the speed in their forwards to cause damage. Like wise they also have the height in set pieces but also Stegen in a 1v1 situation... or heck if they even get it up our end and press us, play us at our own game and they manage to get the shot off... I dread to think. If we control the game they must certainly will make mistakes. They may get frustrated and get too aggressive which will lead to fouls, unless they learn from last season and back off a bit.

It'll be an interesting one for sure how this is going to pan out.

Depends. If we can make them play an open game then we would be in a much better position. Stagnent possession would probably make things harder. We need to sacrifice a liitle control in order to tempt them out. Think along the lines of the Atletico games.
