^Sounds like we might be seeing more of Maffeo at the weekend if Zaba isn't fit (Sagna still injured). Garcia is a tricky one; he's obviously behind Fernandinho Silva Gundogan KdB for the midfield slots...but ahead of Yaya ;-)

Pep clearly likes the two of them and left sided Angelino - I was expecting Kolorov to lose out but he's having a bromance with Pep.

Kompany otamendi Navas Cliche Nolito Sane Fernando Kelchi and your keeper and Sterling Aguero and Kolorov came on and it's playing your  young kids and reserves Hahahaha.

You played two kids and they was two if your better players, will they get a run out in the league I don't think so.

 

Exactamundo nev but they choose to ignore the facts don't they....didn't we have a few reserves playing as well? Carrick Rojo Schnedrlin and of course Mata who is a regular on the bench.

 

Vincent Kompany asked to be substituted cos he was tired!!  deary me!

 

Anyway knocking the noisy neighbours out of the mickey mouse cup and keeping a clean sheet should stand us in good stead for Burnley tomorrow.

 

Red Army will be on the march again soon.

Mr Red how was the Premier derby you lost earlier in the season for you? We've been waiting for your opinion on losing that one.

The best part of that win is the false sense of momentum

Is that just scouse jealousy Bob? or the fear that United will once again <deleted> you???

 

^Red - There's no need to go in to hiding for months though lad. It's just a game ;-)

3 at the back and extra man in midfield.

Manchester City: 
Bravo;

Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov;

Fernando, Fernandinho,

Gundogan; Silva,

Sterling, Nolito; Aguero

Subs: Caballero, Kompany, De Bruyne, Navas, Clichy, Iheanacho, A. Garcia

Everybody expected Maffeo at RB.

Fernando at RB for God's sake...what will Peppy come up with next?

For +50 mins I really enjoyed our performance then Pulis did the double sub, we relaxed and a goal for WBA looked likely, then Pep puts on KdB (when I would have put Clichy or Kompany on with Fernando moved inside) and suddenly we were buzzing again. Four goals but we still waste a lot. I'm not a huge Aguero fan as an all round footballer (I hate it when they say he's our best player: he's not), as a goalscorer yes, but today he was excellent and up for it all over the pitch. Gundogan had his best game. Aguero will get the plaudits but it was Mr Consistent in midfield/defense Fernandinho that caught my eye; he quietly contributes so much to the team every game.

That Nolito is a bit of a nutter isn't he.

13 in 12 for the wee man.

I think my statement was legitimised this arvo, and the  only thing I'm jealous of is being a City Manc right now. 

 

You guys are to busy <deleted> yourselves, as was very apparent with your brilliant bounce back home draw against Burnley 

 

That Zlatan is somet else!

We needed that win yesterday to get us back on track and to go into the Barca match with a bit more confidence. Still making some individual mistakes at the back but Pep will continue to play from the back and so we will just have to get used to holding our breath.

 

Pep really needed that win also, just to get Chicog off his back in his one man crusade to get him the sack

"City have advanced so far since 2008 that a Manchester Derby in the Cup is no longer as important as a trip to The Hawthorns in the League."

Watching City on a Wednesday night,
You play Thursday coz you’re f**king sh*te,
What a feeling, what a night.” - video

I'm sure Sheikhy's happy with it, until the expected leathering on Tuesday night. But then if BMG beat Celtic, he might even have happy thoughts about playing on Thursday's, after all it is the weekend, and he can have a lay in on the Friday.

 

 

 

Pleased to see us back on track. Gundogan looks to be fit and in form. He's had a tough time recovering from his injury.

 

Also pleased to see Aguero looking like himself. I hope Pep realizes the value he has in KUN. I could care less if Aguero tracks back. Get him service and he will reward you.

Looked a penalty for Sterling by Umtiti but sterling booked. What!

Messi rips city apart on the counter from a City corner 0v1.

Good game.

39mins 1v1 Gundogan from a Barca mistake. City worked that in really well

No extra time...unusual.

Cracking game. Barca with possession. Both look decent on the attack, Barca scarey.

Was a pen on Sterling. Ref blinked at crucial moment joked Rio.

50mins 2v1 kdb brilliant free kick. Deserved this...come out really well 2nd half.

Barca rocking here first 15. Big problem for City...Fernandinho brilliant as usual has to come off for Fernando...that will sway things Barca way.

Turan on for booked Rakatic.

2nd half city 6v1 ahead on chances. Not sure how we've not added 3rd. Barca chance hits the bar. Attack vs Attack.

70 mins big chance for Barca with Navas on for Sterling

73 mins 3v1 Gundogan. ..its well deserved. ..City all over Barca this half

78mins Celtic equalised 1v1. Cheers!

86mins...Barca for the last 10. City's tempo dropped.

88mins...kdb, who's been effective 2nd half, off for nolito
