***barca v city official cl match thread***

[Ted Hughes]

We had a chance , a gift , and we do what we always do in CL. But Bony is more and more a nowhere near player we need .

Give over. We were fucking miles better up front with Bony & Navas.

Hart & Fernandinho could have played in Barca's team. The rest were mid table standard at best.

I don't want to see Kolarov any more. Allowing for nerves, form, anything, he was fucking nowhere even near to reaching the standard of City's 2nd worst player.

He is fucking shite beyond all reason.

We where better with Bony why if i may ask , wtf is he do ?! I did not see it i saw Barcelona 4 5 chance near the end and there where a bit relax before that , but miles better with Bony i m blind then .

He created space for others, challenged for headers & kept the ball alive cliser to their goal.

What the fucking hell would anyone expect him to do especially in the middle of that fucking shite ? I can't believe anyone has even bothered to mention him.

May as well give Fernando a bit more shit while you are at it

[Cit.revenge]

Let's face it, we dodged a bullet tonight. Bayern's score against the ukrainians could had been topped tonight.

This was a disgrace, our defence is a joke, they are spineless mercenaries that have to desire to go for glory. Yes, of course, you need a manager that can do that, that can inspire you, but i think many of those players are just hopeless.

True ,, Barcelona is just much much better even without Messi .

[Fesan]

Do we need to sell everyone or would this lot, minus a few no gooders, play with intent and intensity?

[Ted Hughes]

Milner saying they could have pressed a lot better. In other words, some of the players didn't work hard enough.

HAHAHAHA he create space , where he was always around Aguero , not on wing or deep , i m giving shit to all but much better with Bony , common Ted , joke .Hart only good one rest all crap.

[blues2win]

It's simpy not on to play midfielders like Yaya Silva and Nasri in the same midfield. They are simply not prepared to put in a shift on a consistent basis. If Yaya is to play anywhere it's playing off a front man as a number ten but personally I'd get rid. Yes Kolarov out and Jovetic is clearly going as well. Nasri as well? Our midfield is shit but the only ones who get the shit are the two Ferns which is totally unfair. You simply can't expect to challenge for the big prizes in football with three midfielders who fanny around, however good they are technically.

[getdressedmctavish]

So, Fernandinho showed what he could do with someone fit and able to tackle next to him.Joe enjoyed himself. Milner made some fantastic tackles and runs and stopped them passing through us when he took Ya Ya's position. And Kolarov wasn't as bad as Ted says. , Dave created opportunities, Sagna had a good game and Aguero did his job. He bottled the penalty as he knows. Kompany was awful and this has to be addressed. Ya Ya is finished at this level and Nasri was a disgrace.Navas is laughable and needs to go home. We have a centre of the of the field problem which seriously needs addressing with Nasri, Dzeko, Ya Ya, Cliché and Navas surplus to requirement and a big question mark over Kompany. Do we trust the buggers managing us to address it and what can we do to stop us going into a tailspin.

[Sparklehorse]

Ya ya and nasri have to go, the rest I'm not sure of yet. I'm sorry but when one of your star players offers absolutely nothing, and I mean zilch in defence, and tonight in a very important game nothing going forward fuck off, ànd I mean fuck off now. Ok the score is respectable but come on we're nowhere near this team. I'm fucking depressed.

Funny thing is technically they're not good enough. We can't keep the ball under pressure like Bayern barca arse. They're second rate who look class against English shit. At least they did last year.

Fernando fernandino Navas and Milner always get the abuse yet they graft non stop.

[PeterParker]

The problem is Yaya, he cannot play anymore in that position and that will cost us every single time.

You either push him up like Mancini did, or you bench him. Simple as that. If not, we get to blame all the Ferns we have in our team.

[Dub City]

Well we gave it a go second half. Yaya was the most sloppy lazy performance I have seen since probably yaya at burnley last week. He needs to be left on the bench or not even in the 18 for the weekend and the way he has played since Africa nations I would not be pushed if see him for rest of the season. For all his talent his lack of effort is just not acceptable. He has been a vital player for us since his arrival but talent without the effort is just not enough for this club where we are now. Really hope his teammates and management let him know how shite he has been but I somehow doubt they will.
Think we have shown over 2 matches against Barcelona that we are lacking in terms of quality and major surgery needed on this side in the coming summer. Can't accept losing to superior opposition, fuck I grew up with it every second week but lack of fight and effort is just not acceptable.
There were certainly others who were poor tonight, silva I think had a poor game and Milner didn't do enough on the ball but if yaya wants to take nasri the petulant little fucker out the door with him I won't be one bit disappointed again for all his talent when things aren't going well he is a liability. Should have been sent off tonight and should have been sent off at to Moscow in group stage. We need players who will fight for the club, not win a title them put feet up and want to turn up as it suits.

[everyonehatesus]

So nearly 270 corners without scoring from one, what the fuck do they do all day if they don't train for set pieces, penalties, defending and seemingly movement.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Joe Hart excellent

Sagna not bad.Don't see why he got so much stick at half time. yes skinned by Neymar once but that guy is world class and it happens.Out of position for the goal..not really as he had to cover centrally but no cover coming from anyone at all in the first half.

Vincent not great at all but too panicky and sells himself too easily

MDM same as Vinnie but not as good

Kolarov so limited it's scary and even when he had golden chances to make the right cross he failed

Nasri totally underperformed and then showed childish petulance to be taken off at half time

Fernandinho best player bar Joe.Effort good, tackling mostly good and intelligence good but he doesnt quite offer enough with his passing

Silva another underperformer. didn't happen in forward positions and is a non even going backwards

Yaya a liability as we all know in the defensive sense and nothing like enough going forward to make up for that

Milner quality on the ball was dire but great workrate as ever but that's not enough

Aguero another underperformer but he had chances especially the pen which was a shocker.Did he bottle it ?

Navas should have been in from the start. Gave decent energy and threat down the right side and some defensive effort going the other was after he forgot Alba early on

Bony I have to believe he will come good but off the pace and poor tonight

Pellegrini poor in that the personnel he started with were wrong. Any team with Yaya,Silva,Nasri and a striker is only defending with 6 outfield players and that's not enough against a team like Barca.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Tonight showed us just how far Silva and Aguero are off Messi.
I know we sometimes, myself included say that they are up there with Messi and Ronaldo but they're just not, neither have stamped their authority in any of our games versus Barca.

Depends if they agree with you.

I don't so I would have a different set of complaints if they did what you asked. There will be 40'000 other opinions, so how can they possibly win ?

[london blue 2]

Yaya is done

[freshie]

Milner saying they could have pressed a lot better. In other words, some of the players didn't work hard enough.

He summed it up perfectly. Said that we didn't press hard enough and weren't good enough in possession. Also said that you need to be at the top of your game for the whole 180 mins against top sides like these not 30 mins here and 30 mins there. Cut a very frustrated and disappointed figure

Yaya was a problem in our first ever CL game v Bayern, under Mancini. Ribery etc were running away from him all the time, meaning someone else had to move.

He was more dangerous in the oppo half tonight than Silva though.

[Beanieboy]

Can we please get Herman back?

[Ted Hughes]

Haha, the Count has just told the cunts we played 4 games v Barca with 4 different formations.

They have only seen one.
