*** Barcelona v City - Official Match Thread ***

Absolutely delighted with that team.

Same here.

Now, as Doug H hoped, a good performance from the lads please and then let's see where that takes us.

COME ON CITY!!

[Green & Blue]

Good man Pellers, very happy with that side.

[zuricity]

So exact same team as predicted (and wished for) earlier this morning ... great start, I can feel it, this is the day to make history!

He he! Milner in to take proper corners for our tall forwards.

[Dubciteh]

Pellers is suspended from bench right?

[Saul Goodman]

MP finally starts with a line up that most of us would agree on. It's a shame he won't be there to make the changes when they will be needed.

Cousillas has worked with Manuel for 10 years so hopefully he makes similar subs

[DoomMerchant]

Pellers is suspended from bench right?

yes and the dressing room.

Big Rubes and he have vampiric telepathy tho, so it's fuckin all good bro.

No worries.

cheers

Pellers is suspended from bench right?

Yeah he is pal

[Saul Goodman]

Really glad we are going with a 5 man midfield with Milner. I'd prefer to have him on the left to help vs Alves...since we're playing with midgets up top I don't think crossing will be too "big" so having both Milner and Kolarov on the left shouldn't be a big deal. We'll see how they lineup though

[Sparklehorse]

Same here. Now, as Doug H hoped, a good performance from the lads please and then let's see where that takes us. COME ON CITY!!

Lets go out there and express ourselves !!!
We are good enough and if we do it to the best of our ability and take our chances we will win.

[dikdok]

Let's have a night of typical city.

[Lee_R]

This is City.

Lose an early goal, then score 3, one in last five minutes, to take it on away goals.

[Camebro]

Great team, IMO it's the team that should of started at home and maybe we wouldn't be digging ourselves out this hole.

[Risby]

We need to start the game in a better manner than we have been doing recently. I hope the team go out there and enjoy it. It's going to be tough, we know that, but go out there and try to match them.

[Lee_R]

Just watching the presser with Vinny. What a great speaker he is. What a great bloke.

Geez, did Micah and Rodwell get injured again? Pellegrini really hates his English "talent"

[JamieMCFC]

Very pleased with the team selection.

[zuricity]

I wonder if Brian Kidd submitted his eleven to the refs rather than Pellegrini :-)
