*** City v Juve - Official Match Thread ***

Only three minutes after all the fake injuries?

[Mase]

Fern one MOTM for me

[london blue 2]

The tempo of our play is just so slow. We pass here, we pass there. There is just no movement and penetration.

The very thing that Juventus fans were concerned about before the game is our pace, they were shitting themselves, now they're laughing!!

Hard to use pace against 10 men in thier box. Gotta have a plan B. As usual we don't have one

[Cocacolajojo1]

I hate Champion's League. I hate it. I hate it. It's not fucking worth it.

Pellegrini the guy to blame for this loss IMO.

[PrezIke]

We will be toasted by the media if this remains the same. Enjoy!!

And the reason...for me it's putting silva and nasri in the side together.

Naive is one word to describe it, fucking thick is another.

He still hasn't learnt has he?

Having them both in the team just results in us overplaying. If silva came off I think nasri would do ok in the middle, and vice versa. But yet again we have square pegs in round holes.

I just hope De Bruyne turns out to be more direct, or we have just spent 50 odd million and made the problem worse

[PrezIke]

Kdb should have started

[PrezIke]

or Navas.

EDIT.

[kinkylola]

when will we drop the charade and just fucking start KDB?

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

absolute bollocks

[aaron bond]

The first couple of years we were in the CL I could understand why we under performed, but now we're in our 5th consecutive season, it's just embarrassing how poor we are.

We have played in exactly the same way each season. How can we not learn from our mistakes!?!?

The criticism aimed at us for underperforming in the CL in recent years was often unfair. But we have no excuses anymore.

Said so before the start. Pellegrini took far too long to make subs as well. If Aguero wasn't fit he shouldn't be on bench if he was fit we needed more time from him.

[Moonchesteri]

Kdb should have started

He was useless too tbh

[PrezIke]

I agree that Nasri and Silva together are finished unless the game is already decided. Then they can pass back and forth and waste time away.

It's quite possible that his desperation may have made matters worse. Kun did not look fit.

Kdb should have started

We barely moved the ball to his side when he was in.

He made better looking crosses from nowhere compared to Nasri's.

Starting a match and coming in late cannot be compared either.

Nasri will never start for us again in this situation I think, but this was a terrible loss.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Listened on the radio tonight and it sounds gash. And slow. Gashly slow.

KDB should have started rather than nasri, and I am still very worried about whether bony is good enough for what we want.

I find it really hard to care about Europe, especially group stages. I want that Hamburg feel, but it just isn't happening for me.

[s1ty m]

City are terrible in this competition. It's a bit embarrassing now.

[Im_Spartacus]

I'm sure some will make a big deal at juve celebrating the way they just have, but let's have it right, we should have battered them and gave nothing in the end.

Totally deserved mugging by juve, and they've got every right to celebrate, effectively that's them qualified from the group!
