What i noticed

Fernando's shit
Milner is not, I repeat not a centre midfielder
Kompany is brain dead at times
Clichy's even more fuckin brain dead
Without Aguero we'd be completely fucked

Does MP really think Fernando's better than Fernandinho?.....that's worrying.

Fernando's wank....it's that simple.

But the Manager is the wankiest of them all...

Milner was always very good for Villa in central MF
Fernando is dire
Dzeko is dire
Kompany is in poor form
MP really doesn't know what he's doing
Aguero is simply outstanding

I felt he just played too deep and too far off anyone he was supposed to be marking, but maybe he was told to do that in the 1st half....just protect the back 4 (along with Fernando).
The problem we had with this though, was we never carried a threat going forward because he played so deep......he looked like a lost puppy chasing a ball around.

Sod it then, i'll blame MP for letting him do that

Fernando was bobbins, gave the ball to a yellow shirt too often (almost gifted them a goal)
Milner was lost against more men of high quality with no back-up.
Silva is not a defender, can't lay too much blame on him for their 2nd.
Dzeko made 1 busting run all game, we didn't play enough high balls up to the top against Barca small back line.

Return leg, will have to go 1 up top (possibly Bony to start), Navas on the right to track the full-back runs.
Toure in the middle for ball control with Fernandinho alongside him
Nasri left wing, Silva in number 10.

We need to be solid for the first half next time.

Can't see Bony starting before Serge....but i'd personally put Bony in with Serge and play a 4-4-1-1 formation. Although your starting line up does sound good.

Would definitely have Fernandinho and Yaya in the middle and Navas out wide in place of Nasri (who i'd drop)....and keep Silva out on the left.
