City need to find a winnder here - 0-0 not a good result to bring back to Eastlands the way we play

[Tony P]

3 strikers on the pitch? Bloody Bobby Manc Negative tactics!!!

[Sheikhermaker]

ITV4's technical expertise showcased yet again.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Contact lost! Bit of excitement!

[lovecity8utd]

thank heavens for interfence!

[Dameerto]

Bloody Greeks and their national debt, stick some coins in the meter.

[Mase]

Certainly hope that Tev and Dzeko aren't the next Fowler and Anelka :\

[ruralblue]

Most interesting thing to happen all game - The test card coming on tv when the signal went down!

Come on City, COME ON BALO!!!

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

GET HARTSON ON!

[Manx Blue]

GET HARTSON ON!

LOL!

[Hazy2]

1st time poster during a game. This is 2 shite teams on the night ,pictures gone who gives a toss, poss 4-4 2nd leg.

That said we could do with an Elano type to just do something that is not sideways backwards and off the cuff, not sure Mancini will be that bothered with 0-0. For me not good enough this is piss poor oposition.

[Goataldo]

Dzeko went down to easy there, this ref is never gonna give that.

[Mase]

Fuckin prick Mancini!!! Take a striker off for a defender!

[lovecity8utd]

well defended Kola!

[shawzy]

Great defendin Kollers

[Manx Blue]

Listening to the Guardian podcasts and Honigstein, Dzeko prefers to play alongside a strike partner, so why has Tevez been coming so deep?

Needs to be sorted ASAP

[Mike J]

dzeko off for zabaleta. LOL - think mancini had a bit to much excitement with dzeko, balo and tevez on the pitch.

[Goataldo]

We look SHATTERED! Perhaps not surprisingly.

[Dameerto]

"It did come off his boot as well, not his shin..."

[lovecity8utd]

if wayne whatever his name is can do it, Balo can try and do better!
