Whilst i agree with your remarks Micro i don't think City are this team xD
Yes they are physical because of Kompany Yaya and Fernandinho however, they play 4-4-2 the midfield will get overrun by Barcelona and other teams, the reason they concede goals is due to them playing 4-4-2. That being said, they are too strong going forward and i can see them scoring vs Barca. It is whether Barca can outscore them too.

This Sunday match vs. Chelsea isn't looking so good, no Rooney, no RVP, no new signings. 2/3 transfer window gone and not even any substantiated.rumors.

Who could ManU realistically get that would help them in January?

If Rooney and Van Persie get back to fitness Utd will have a reasonable chance of challenging for the a Champions League slot and then Mr Moyes will have to do some work over the summer to make them more competitive next year.

My main worry for ManU is they are just not exciting to watch at the moment. They need to keep people coming and filling those 75k seats or they are going to find it even harder to pay back the debt the Glazers blessed the club with in exchange for the privilege of buying the club sitting on the board do nothing except awarding themselves a multimillion pound a year salary.

Obviously bayern isn't expected to thrash barcelona 7-0 if they meet again, but deciding to kinda ignore those matches is the other extreme. Not that it in any way indicates that barcelona is "figured out", but what I got from last year was that bayern was better at everything. And then tactics don't really matter all that much. And while I think the timing of last year's match was prolly the worst possible for barcelona as they were totally dependant on messi yet couldn't depend on him for those matches, I haven't seen anything to indicate that the pendulum has swung back in their favor. Bayern if anything look even better than last year, and barcelona look about the same cept neymar makes them miss messi slightly less if he's not fit..


Well I didn't say ignore, I meant to say that the importance of those results don't really reflect a decent prediction on what would happen if they meet again in say.. 2-3 months. I do also think Bayern is still the favorite to win the CL, just there's a couple more teams that could win it and Barça is one of them.



The thing with the 7-0 is that it wasn´t random. 1 or 2 goals too high maybe but it was a familiar game.

Look who beated Barca in CL in a 2 game leg the past years, it was Chelsea, Bayern and Inter, all these teams basically with the same methode by making the field small, be physical and disciplined in defending. If you can do this 3 things and still be able to apply pressure and be dangerous you have a pretty good chance of beating barca. Thats why i think ManCity can be very dangerous because they have a team that is very similar to the other three.

Also Barca is still too one dimensional with his roster.

I read somewhere that tanks beat Barcelona, not Ferrari's. If you look at the past Mourinho teams of Chelsea and Inter you see a tall, strong and dominating midfield and defense. It's the dominating presence of Makelele-Essien-Lampard that shuts down a team and leaves it to swashbuckling playmakers (Joe Cole/Duff) as well as magical 'all I need is one opening' strikers like Drogba/Milito to finish them off.

You get players like Matic that can dominate midfield, go forward and back, make the big plays. And you cut down on the Mata's because at the end of the day you are building a tank, not a Ferrari. To beat a team that has perfected the ball possession type of total football you need to create a team that is perfect off the ball. That's why only Chelsea and Inter were the only teams that could take Barcelona to the limit and win. You can run as many circles as you like around a tank with your Ferrari, but at the end of the day the tank will fuck you up.

All that's missing now is a magical striker (not Torres) and replacements for Terry and Lamps. Next year... oh boy

Ok, if Torres scores next game I will jump onto the bandwagon, until then there is a reason why Mourinho has his eye set on Costa from Atletico

Haha, true. I think he has his heart set on Rooney too. Also think if Yanited fail to get Champions League then we will get him anyway. Which will be fine and great as i think Mourinho man management style and the player Rooney is he will be a 30 goal a season for us :D
I just hope that happens so much

Let me say you a funny thing: Turkish Football association's chairman is Yildirim Demirören, who was the chairman of Besiktas when the match-fixing happened. You know Besiktas is involved to match fixing as well.

We believe in Gianni Infantino though. I assume that Fenerbahce is ready for him.

There's like a blackhole in the Man Utd midfield where Cleverly plays, he literally does NOTHING all game, can't pass, can't tackle, can't win headers. I get that Wenger was right insisting there are very few players who could fight for a place in the Arsenal XI, hence not buying anyone till Ozil. But I think there are players in all of the top 1/3 of PL clubs that are better than Cleverly, let alone foreign clubs.

The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Friday that they have transferred the Brazilian striker to Liga MX side Querétaro FC for a “club record” multimillion-dollar fee. Details of the transfer were not disclosed, per club and league policy.

I said this last year about Cleverly and someone called me out for being an idiot on here. Cleverly has no creativity, he misses simple opportunities and provides no upside over anyone else in the already poor Utd. midfield.

He's probably fantastic in training if he continually earns time after how poor he's been in games.
