We were so on top we started to treat it like a training game & with it being City, we should never take anything for granted!

Agreed Ted.
They never looked a threat and but for a little bad luck for Touré (Y) it would've been several goals.
The first aim of an away leg is not to concede and the second is to win. Job done. That team of ours that struggled with the Faroe whale-hunters would've got slaughtered last night. How this result can be critcised is beyond me!

Cos we didn't score three goals and have no playmaker.
The fact we had 63% posession and about 10 shots quite far away from home is no excuse.

that's because there's a gap between midfield and attack. Gap that should be occupied by a pla.... Never mind.
The midfield and defence should be further up the pitch in my opinion. When the gap between our defence and furthest forward attacker is big, we look worse as we dont play the long ball well enough. Shorten the gap and the fluidity comes back.
In reality, if we are to be good enough, all the attackers should be playmakers in a way.

and we still had an alamo to contend with at white hart lane - nope... mancini has yet to convince me I am afraid - hope he does though, and soon
