lionsden 4,689 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Toughest team we could have drawn. I'm very worried mainly because our defense has declined this season and we haven't defended well even in games where we have parked the bus. But then again PSG are exactly like us in the sense that they struggle against teams that park the bus as well so this factor along with David the clown Luiz are the only obvious weakness we can exploit.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 In theory is a great team with a horrible defense... but they haven't been playing that well all their matches.But as you and others pointed out, City has no UCL confidence whereas Barça has tons of it. I still believe City will qualify. I hope I'm wrong though Don't think Manchester City are the overwhelming favourites but they certainly have a good chance of beating Barcelona over two legs, especially if they can get the likes of Aguero fully fit and firing. Barcelona have hardly been convincing this season (or for the past 2 seasons) and have relied on individual qualities to win them games. There's nothing cohesive about them at the moment and beyond their front line, they are almost average. The worst part is, in 22 matches this season, Luis Enrique has played 22 different lineups, which is just plain ridiculous! He said he wants to keep his players on their toes and their opponents guessing but it does seem more of a case of him not knowing what his best side is.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Aguero and Silva, arguably two of City's leading attacking components, are always bottle jobs against Barca, even when they were in Spain. What are you on about? Aguero used to destroy Barcelona at Atletico on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 What are you on about? Aguero used to destroy Barcelona at Atletico on a regular basis.Did he though?I recall him only scoring twice in 8 occasions against Barca during his entire stint at Atletico and it was a deflection goal as well as a consolation goal.

Yeah. He was always an absolute menace against them, and against Real as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah. He was always an absolute menace against them, and against Real as well. I remember Torres absolutely scrutinizing both Real and Barca, making the likes of Puyol and Hierro look like proper mugs. Not Aguero though mate.

iseah100 5,612 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Only worried about Zlatan, but he doesn't show up in big games . We should win, 4-1, 5-2 on agg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAB 1,030 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Too early to worry about it, 2 months is an eternity for football. Nevertheless on current form i'd be very confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Really looking forward to playing them, Laurent Blanc has been nothing short of awful with his tactics and tactical substitutions this year. Today he took off Cavani in a 0-0 game and brought on some kid named Bahebeck?? Who was shockingly poor... If they don't go back in the window in January I think we can turn them over quite easily, they look worse than last year when they lacked a plan B.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 So much trouble at PSG right now. If this continues, pray they don't sack Blanc before the tie comes around. Muzchap and MichaelDance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 to be honest I'm expecting two easy games. PSG is not even on top of the league, and I just watched their game today and they don't look like a solid team, and it seems the team's spirit is not so great.
