As good as Barcelona?

I don't think so. They play at a much higher tempo, seemingly with more fluidity.

Real showed that they can be put under pressure and Barca made plenty of bad passes last night.

Real rely too much in individual brilliance rather than a combination of individual brilliance knitted with a fantastic system of team play.

At the moment, I reckon we are somewhere in the middle of those two in terms of style and it'll take us 2-3 years of sustained high quality play to be at their level.

as long as your spot remains soft freddie

it's only the media that have been peddling this myth about city being as good as barca in order to try and build them up to knock them down.

Have we seen this kinda stuff before I wonder...

god, putting city in the top 5 teams in the world when they fall at the first hurdle of the CL after spending almost a billion? ahaha
its clear the players dont have the mentality of a top club otherwise they wouldnt embarrass themselves in the CL.

Giving them a top club status after what 14 games... we shall see after a year or two... Idiots

Sauna, dont p iss me off with your pathetic digs, you dont know me so dont judge.

United were unlucky, we outplayed the opposition in almost every match but conceded rubbish goals.

City on the other hand were just outplayed and beaten...

Man City may be an average squad, but the only team that can amount to Barcelona's superioirity is Canterbury College FC. Me and a friend have been going to all of their home games and have given the team a huge lift, unfortunately they lost 1-0 to MidKent College. The stars of the show was impressive right back (black kid) and the quick paced, quick witted and undercisive left winger. These two show great promise and am looking forward to going to all of their home games, the away games is to much like hard work. Rob Brealy is really terrible

" United were unlucky"

Unlucky over 6 games against inferior opposition - That's a real streak of bad luck.
