Champions League gameweek 3

No surprise Hargreaves trying to justify the great Pep's decision. Yet listen to them all when it comes to Rooney.
 
City playing defensively despite spending more than any side in world football last year?
Am I doing this right?
You forgot to squeeze something about parking the bus somewhere in there.
 
It is not because Pep wants to play negatively. It is because he has to. He learned it the hard way in his last 3 CL semis. You can't afford freeloaders from a defensive perspective. Aguero isn't going to help out in that regard. Nolito, De Bruyne or Iheanacho will offer more
 
Hargreaves just said that a big part of us winning the CL was Rooney and Tevez up front pressing the defenders. Interesting I guess. Also said that Suarez reminds him of Tevez.

Crystal ball? Game hasn't kicked off yet. Pep often played strikerless and wasn't defensive. If he runs our formation into 631 we'll talk.
 
The way Guardiola answers the questions reporters ask him not being able to hide his superiority behind a smile, though, show how f... arrogant the guy is. Mourinho might not smile, but he's not double faced.

Goodness me, you really have it in for Leverkusen. Spurs fan?

I actually quite like Leverkusen :lol: I was in a bad mood yesterday as the last two matches I watched were 0-0. I need goals like Bender needs booze, man.
 
:lol: A german team... very concise. Moenchengladbach is a tad difficult to spell out

So KdB will be charged with leading the attack? Like he did so against Bayern as a Wolfsburg player?
 
What's with Barca booing the anthem and the shitload of Catalan flags? Is that normal?
 
Is Mascherano playing RB? My sports app says so at least^^
Roberto injured? Barca could really do wirh another RB.
 
Alaba misses the next chance...
At least we're showing some quick, decisive football compared to last saturday.
