I reckon 1-2.

This has single goal game written all over it

We're either going to see an incredible Man City performance or Total Football from Barca. No in-between!

by Zealous Tue Mar 11, 2014 10:02 pm

Barca will win but I hope City make them sweat, Barca usually suffer in the league after tough CL games.

by RED Tue Mar 11, 2014 10:19 pm

Barca comfortable win please. Finish them off in style. 4-0

by futbol Tue Mar 11, 2014 11:27 pm

Barca 1 - City 3

No anti-jinx attempt. What I really think.

by Pedram Tue Mar 11, 2014 11:59 pm

A comfortable 2-0 for Barca, Pedro and Messi to score.

Both sides have a point to prove losing their last game, I'd say we should be able to deal with them perhaps a 2-1, or 3-1 scoreline, but if we sleep on them then we could have problems. If we score first then I'd say its over, however if City score then it could be a long night.

Calling a score draw. 1-1 or 2-2. city will bring their A game, that's for sure.

Manchester City will most likely score, however can't see them beating Barca at home. I'd say 2-1 or 3-1 to Barca.

by Mr Nick09 Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:33 pm

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Lescott, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Aguero

by DeletedUser#1 Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:34 pm

3-1 Barca.

City's goal will be consolation after the game is 3-0. C

If Man city score early we could see few more goals tbh, 3-1 is my prediction also. Laughing

Think City will win but Barca will edge it by a goal overall.

No Demicheiles or Clichy so City have a chance.

Lescott though

by Mr Nick09 Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:39 pm

milner is pellegrini being cautious again me thinnks. oh boy, playing Kun as a single pivot in offense for city is not going to work well. Kun plays better off a target man in that 2 forwards system. i think pelle fcked up again, we will see. Pelle should have takent the risk to start one of dzeko or negredo

by S Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:44 pm

Barça’s starting XI: Valdés, Piqué, Fàbregas, Xavi,Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, Mascherano, Sergio Busquets, Alba and Alves #FCBlive

by Mr Nick09 Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:47 pm

No surprise from Tata, expect another borefest from tata with messi and cesc playing the same zones, not finding space and barca creating no width in offense. Good job tata. Whatever happened to starting 3 genuine forwards to create runs behind the defense on both side of the pitch? nope, got to play cesc Laughing

and nerman so shit atm but still starts ahead of lads like Alexis who pay their dues week in and week out Proud

If I was Pelle, I'd play Yaya as target man in that formation. Nights like this, is when you appreciate target man midfielders like Fellaini.

Nah Milner will try his best and I think he will help City overall, plus it gives City options on the bench. They can bring on Navas and Negredo in the second half and I'm sure that will give them more of a boost than Milner. The best subs are dynamic as opposed to solid, Milner is good but he isn't dynamic.

In any case Pellegrini will likely flop like he always does at the Nou Camp.

by Onyx Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:50 pm

Yeh seems like Tata's playing it safe by playing Fabregas. Even though he scores/assists, he'll never fit Barca's style in terms of overall play. Ideal scenario for him would be to leave as play as a CAM elsewhere.

by Mr Nick09 Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:51 pm

problem is that he would have no one to play the ball out of the defense if he moves yaya. he cant do that, but i agree it would make life complicated for the likes of busquets and co to have such a dominant physique fighting for balls with them. oh well

true, come to think of it, Pelle might be gunning for the let's play it safe for the 1st half and then throw everything we have in second half strategy. barca's pressing isnt as consistent throughout the full game as it used to be.

by Zealous Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:56 pm

If City play to win Yaya will be pushing up anyway.

-------------Hart--------------
Zab---Kompany--Lescott-Kolarov
---------Fernandinho------------
Nasri---Silva----Yaya----Milner---
------------Aguero---------------

Something like that would be risky but at this point City need to be taking risks if they want to win.
