Barca is killing it with the possession, but possession doesn't win games. We need to get these goals.
I find it weird to see the formation with Messi/Suarez up top in a 4-4-2. It can be dull unless it involves dynamic switching of positions like Ancelotti's 2014 Real and even Zidane's Real.

Better than the invincibles. City will finish with more points and goals. Todays draw was a disappointment but the "invincibles" had alot of draws.

Sterling missed a sitter but hey shyt happens.

how they better when they cannot go undefeated??
reason why city early on were being compared to the invincibles is cause the invincibles in english LEAGUE football are the benchmark ('99 manchester united are a close second)
:camby:better than the invincibles....lol!!

26 wins, 12 draws, knocked out of league cup and FA cup in the semis, CL in the quarter finals.

City already have 22 wins, and a much better goal difference. Plus they are in the league cup final. It's easy to romanticise the past, but the invincibles weren't that great. The 99 Man U team was better and should be the standard to which great english english teams are compared.

Recent history has shown it's easy to dominate england when you don't have other competition's to worry about(Leicester and Chelsea both won the title with no European football during the season).

so we moving the goal post when we originally were talking about LEAGUE football
and the invincibles had strong competition in a good liverpool, manchester united,chelsea,etc... and that is just from the top of my head.
let me say it again, in ENGLISH LEAGUE football, the invincibles are the BENCH MARK!!
if it so easy to go unbeaten, why has no one done it since. city were suppose to do it this season.
