Why have Maicon and Yaya been booked for first fouls when Ramos was let off with one through the back of Dzeko?

only sensible comment so far. Ref didn't even see benzima back into maicon !

[halnone]

fuck. if we lose this it will ruin my birthday.

[zuricity]

When they showed the replay of the Maicon foul, you could clearly see the referee was looking at completely opposite direction than where the foul happened. When he turned round, Benzema was already on the ground and yet he immediately took the card from his pocket.
Might have been worthy of a card but the ref 100% did not see it

agreed

I saw this first half coming tbf, and I think its good for once to admit we're getting outplayed by potential winners of the Champions League. Madrid look from a different class, we're not there and we won't be there in the next couple of years. Madrid have dealt with Barca well since Mourinho got there. Its about time they win the Champions League imo. All this and we're still in it within a chance, not too bad I can assure you.

I got the sodding Dortmund fiasco on my birthday

[bigblue]

despite Maicon not even trying and us mostly shitting ourslves, we still had 68% of the 1st half possession. Though most of that was probably Joe fetching the ball to take goal kicks

[phips]

anytime City uses Yaya as their deepest midfield player, only bad can come of it.

it could've and should've been worse than 1-0. i just want a draw at this point.

Lol
Pm a short summary, pls mate

[FA cup winners 2006]

we have been continually outplayed in the champions league againist teams that will not have any hope of winng the cl

[PeterParker]

The problem tonight is not the system, but the fact that we don't have a defensive midfielder, that is were they are winning tonight.
Yaya won`t defend, so they control without any problems our middle, If we would had 3 on the middle, Gaz, Yaya and Garcia or Milner, instead of 5 on the back, we would had been up there tonight.

They have been ALWAYS misplaced, looking lost at each other.
the problem IS the system. was, actually.
let's keep the faith

Everytime when i say let's use 3 in the middle, i have the Spurs game, in may 2011, when we won and went in the Chumps. It was the 55 minute, Bobby just got Paddy Vieira beside Nige and Gaz and it was game over. Spurs had 40 something minutes were they couldn't go more that 30 m from our goal.

that another matter. due to original line-up, we have 2 midfielders and four full backs.
You know I am ALWAYS for bossing the mid. that's why I am a massive fan of 4-2-3-1.
games are won in the middle of the park, very rarely on the flanks. that's my creed

So am i, we had 3 years with that system behind us. It brought us a title and a cup and 10 points in the Chumps. This system that we use now is completly suicidal, that it the word. Sui-fucking-cidal

Why is dzeko anonymous everytime he gets a start.piss poor again today its just not good enough

Agree Mancio, Nasty is going to be quality and he's doing ok now. But Dzeko continues to show that he is a waste of space starting a match. Swap him for Barry, push Yaya forward behind Sergio, we need to press the midfield. Should have started with 1 up front

[Biamp]

anytime City uses Yaya as their deepest midfield player, only bad can come of it.

it could've and should've been worse than 1-0. i just want a draw at this point.

the only reason he's playing there because we need more attacking options. We would be able to get that when you have Silva Nasri and Yaya in the middle of the park, they are all good on the ball.

Top notch.
