[london blue 2]

Three yellows three freekicks one goal. Four second et. Wouldn't make a diff but wtf

[mr_nool]

Milner is showing his level in this game.

The whole team is being run over. Silva is the only one who looks remotely comfortable playing under this pressure.

[dick dastardley]

Can't wait for the pundits to lay into us!!

[Dubciteh]

Messi too good. I can't see any team stopping them in this form.

we are not out of it yet.

Nasri off, navas on for second half for me.

Nick a goal they panic then gamble ona winner.

Milner is showing his level in this game.

Sad but true. Mind you none of them are covering themselves in glory. Nasri proving that he is a shithouse and the back 4 is all over the place. Yaya is ambling around as though we're 5-0 up. Aguero is taking pop shots from anywhere when the odds are well against him scoring. Depressing to watch

[nottsblue]

We need to swap Milner over to the right.

I'd swap him for the bench. Get Navas on and get Sagna some protection

[Bridge'srightfoot]

We are just nowhere near their level. They are splitting our defence open at will.

[Ted Hughes]

we are not at the races we just let the barca players have room,

Messi plus workrate, is the biggest difference between these sides. It's not allround ballplaying brilliance in every area, in fact that have even produced some bad passes. It is so much easier to do stuff on the ball against us than it is against them.

The lack of movement, even from Milner, is fucking ridiculous.

[Hazy2]

Corners are going well We can't miss Pique......

[Sister of fu]

How can you play a game of football though when any challenge that you make results in a free kick and a yellow card. This is meant to be the premier football competion of world football and its reffed at a level that wouldn't look out of place in Sunday league. It's a disgrace.

We started off fairly well. Now they all look overawed - rabbits in headlights stuff. You get the feeling a lot of them would rather be watching Messi from the stands than playing against him

[Nigels Tackle]

the only difference between us and them is attitude
we are trying (for once) but they are trying harder
until we get a hunger in the club we're not going to do anything in europe

[Whassat]

The worst part is that no one on our team seems to believe that we can turn it around. It is like this is Barca - an unclimbable mountain. Lesser teams than us have won versus Barca, and done so by giving their all for the team.

[Mase]

Kolarov.

Legend.

I know I am, but what is Kolarov?

Leg-end.

[Wilson Raine]

would/should city spend god knows how millions on messi?

Attitude ....and Messi.
We don't have a player even close to his level. We may kid ourselves that Aguero and Silva are up there but Messi is just on a whole new level.

Unbelievable.

[Moonchesteri]

A sending off on Betfair is 1.6 . Nailed on I'd have thought

I got 3.15 before the game. that was a no brainer as well but sadly I only had couple of quid on my account

[MilnersJaw]

Nasri gone missing again. He can piss off

[freshie]

Yaya failing to track Rakitic for the goal. What a fucking surprise. This team needs breaking up and rebuilding
