Nasri is. According to Luft.
Wish we had Kompany btw.

Its my birthday today, winning would be the best gift.

Yeah they have been shit in Ch.l, but I said that they are WC because of their potential. They have good players, so sooner or later they will get better in Europe, not this year though. Ch.l is the toughest competition after all and you need some luck to win it. We were still the best team in the world in 2010 and 2012 but we failed.

So they are not exactly WC but have the potental to be

 

[Bucky]

Ah understood, they do have potential yeah. There are players in the squad that would have you believe they'll go far. The owner has deep, deep pockets but with certain players not living up to their own potential, not being on that level or having the passion to perform then they are shooting themselves in the foot in EU.

Can it be argued that because they are on silly wages that players can basically shrug it off and not "care"? State of mind.

Whilst we emotionally want success, we can become complacent & lazy if something like money is a factor.

So they are not exactly WC but have the potental to be

Exactly right.

That missed penalty...still haunts me, if things go wrong, it's just the kind of thing that proves to be a tie decider...

I know their form is not that great, but somehow missed chances turn around and bite you in the ass and we've let them off the hook so easily in the 1st leg, makes me so damn nervous.

We have the experience not to brake down if they score first, home turf, crowd support and MSN should give enough warranties for a qualification, but i don't expect a walk in the park.

Exactly, the tie was over if Messi converts, now its gonna be a nail biter.

Fairly interesting read.

City playing intensely?!

lol like that would ever happen. Only way city can go through is if barca had a horrible day like the one against madrid in bernabau this season.

 

[Gasgas]

The term world class has no meaning at all these days. Players like nasri, dzeko, arbeloa, are all included among "worldclass" players

If we let shitty overturn 2-1 deficit at our own turf we don't deserve to be in the next round. This is a test for our squad and fans. City will be trying to salvage their season and we need to push it down their throat real hard. Get a great result today, then we are psychologically set for clasico.

Mascherano and Pique are both better than Kompany.

 

[KingMessi]

Mascherano and Pique are both better than Kompany.

Miles better. Kompany is an overrated donkey.

 

[Gasgas]

Mascherano and Pique are both better than Kompany.

Mascherano is not better than kompany

 

[Icarium]

Mascherano is not better than kompany

Not this season at least.

Kompany is shit. Honestly the only Man city players that could start for us are Zabaleta and Toure and Toure isn't definite cause he's not going to displace Busi or Rakitic and can only displace Iniesta depending on whether or not he feels like playing well.

Zabaleta is pretty rubbish this season as well. I mean Alves is a terrible defender but at least this season his attacking has mostly come back.

 

[pacp_96]

Kompany is utter crap. Probably the most overrated defender on the planet.
