I already explained bro.. Personally, I wasn't comfortable with the way he always chose to pass back to the keeper.. With France, you'd agree... He gives those long precise balls.. I've watched him for France and some other Barça matches... I was proud he plays for Barça...He starts the attack from the back.. Remember how he had the most completed passes at the Euros?? Those passes weren't back passes, he isn't Carrick..But in that match.. All he did (passing) was give the ball the Mats or throw an innaccurate long ball... He did his job by defending very well, considering the kind of formation..but I won't settle for just that.. It's my team and it's important to point out those little concerns..

Take for instance when pique was injured by Silva.. That was in the process of showing that confidence I'm talking about.. Pushing the ball even in the midst of 2 or 3 players..


Umtiti was somewhat shaky..


As for John stones... Remember when he took on Suarez.. Pushed the ball forward, and at least made a decisive pass to sterling.. Umtiti would've passed back to mats in that situation and maybe given us a cause to show concern..

I had the best day of my life this year. I was watching the two best teams in England play, and the match was so great and entertaining, I slept off at the 30+minute of the game!
That's how Great EPL is with over £3billion in TV deals!

What quality? EPL top guns have had to undergo through a rough patch. United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, these were teams that consistently featured in the quarterfinals and Semi finals of Champions league not long ago, when Barcelona was the only saving grace for la liga.

The advantage of being big spenders Barcelona and Madrid were the seasons that followed those exploits, allowed them to consistently poach top talents from
EPL teams, and distabilized these teams. Madrid and Barca helped themselves with Henry, Mascherano, Alonso, Modric, Bale, Ronaldo, Suarez, top top players very vital to their parent clubs. In return EPL only got those Madrid and Barca deemed surplus to requirements.

That tide of one way flow of players from EPL to la liga will never happen again with the mega money of EPL TV deal now on board, you can never price away top talents from
EPL. United already showed you the future with your failed bid to capture De gea. EPL top guns can now afford to pay their top talents whatever Barca and Madrid can afford to.

Messi and Ronaldo won't be around forever. Soon the tide will turn for ever. Your league and teams will be eventually transformed to poaching ground for EPL top teams.

Pique reportedly out for 10 days.

Mathieu against Valencia at the Mestalla.


Oh God why,why,why,why?


Why do you give with the right hand and take back in chunks with the left?

eyoniggar:
With due respect, thats nonsense yarn, there aint no big coach on league level that havent been whooped in Camp Nou, the sentiment that he was a former coach is all that is lighting this defeat in flames, and saying Guardiola is overrated is , it can happen to any coach, in which, this has been happening b4.

Igboid:
Wasn't City torn apart by Spurs not long ago and even by Leicester last season.

What's the big deal? Guardiola is obviously over rated. EPL has a way of exposing everyone.

OBTSubtle:
Yeah, and I didn't say umtiti was poor.. He tried alot..


John stones did well, he bettered umtiti when it comes to confidence.. He needs an experienced defender beside him to show him the ropes.. He'll do well..


Umtiti was good! But he has performed much much more than what we saw moments ago..

bykebyke:
Kudos to Pep though for that first half


It won't be as easy as this for us on the 1st of November.

OBTSubtle:
True, but he would've done better in that match..

OBTSubtle:
Those risky back passes and the incomplete passes he made??


What of balls he lost under pressure..

He did his job as a defender that's for sure.. But he isn't actually as outstanding and you see him

tunbosun9:
Messi can’t be compared to sportsmen anymore. We should compare him to Da Vinci, Newton, Einstein etc… geniuses that have changed the world."

sebod:
.....at least we won't have to see bykebyke Mathieu in the retun leg.

bykebyke:
Umtiti

pamcode:
Yeah right. I am quite sure Bravo would have been better to you some months ago. For me the only area he could be said to be better than Courtois is his passing ability but for shot stopping, reflexes? No stegen aint better to me

Lana1:
Both Courtois and Stegen are shiit

airmark:
bravo should be shot on his right leg. I know these two ex barca guys should not be trusted

Imagine you buy a season film dvd after work, then stop on the way home to pick up suya and malt, reach home, bathe and change into your freshly laundered jalabiya, slot in your dvd only to find that episode 5-10 is missing.

John Stones is that DVD.

What a waste of investment.

homesteady:
Our front 3 Shaa

sebod:
Alba out? Why start him ahead of Digne?

kinggogo:
No far frm it, our record against english opposition is pretty much great. It's jst dat apart 4rm d match against celtic dis season, we've not completely dominated a match which is way below our standard. And we've not met any crious team bar athletico madrid (dat we couldn't evn win).

So u c y i'm having sm chills about dis match. Lets jst hope dey get their head straight tonight

GBR1:
I don't bet at all.

airmark:
Hmmnn, well i am seeing it from the point of ensuring tightness in that middle and probability of stealing balls from busquets and serving sterling or aguero to run things upfront. I see both teams scoring.

GBR1:
Barcelona would be lucky to get a draw today.

airmark:
Na true talk. If i lie dayo for don debunk me.



Well i know you understood me. Pep should just put the two brazilians in the middle with kdb in front ready to give those through passes. Barca is favoured but one moment of madness from busquets as usual may be suicidal. If i coach man city today i will ask my boys to always charge at busquets, they should make him lose confidence in the first 10 minutes. The only problem is pep cant park the bus to grind out results, hence my stake on barca .

airmark:
Boathand also just came back from injury when messi used his mouth hit the ground. No biggie.

bykebyke:
Rakitic should not smell that lineup.

10d0ve:
I have never had doubts. But I need our front line (esp suarez ) to be ruthless. Don't want a repeat of Hart's MOM performance against us from bravo....cos the chances ll flow left, right, centre!

10d0ve:
we should score up to 3 goals in this match. If we can score 3, we win!

onuwaje:
Cules how much data can one spend to stream a live game
