Silva made some real killer passes first half and should have had 3 assists with better finishing.

He gets fuck all protection from refs though!

He should have had a goal as well with better finishing!

Positive: If Dzeko had had the service the Dortmund strikers got he'd have been in double figures for champions league goals this season.

Joe hart biggest positive of the night.looks like he's back to his best and boy do we need him right now.

for me the biggest positive thing is we almost fucking won the game in which we were battered.

Good point, I felt sorry for him. He finally gets a start and the team gave him fuck all to feed on.

He didn't go looking for the ball much either tho. Lost it a few times early on and I saw at least two players decline to pass it to him shortly after.

Hate to say it, but he's a better sub.

Positive: Nastasic, not clumsy, great passer of the ball, understanding, fast, young, promising.

City to look back on that point gained and think NICE.

We got a point even do people outplay ,outrun us, create 10 clear chances ,play like a team, they have like at list 20 cross and 10 great chances from our bad passing in from counterattack we did not have one or i dont remember , we spend 50 % of time on our half passing to Yaya and back to Kompany and Nastasic , we have maybe 5 cross two or three good , we have three good pass from Silva to Aguero from that three two he could pass to score a goal choose to shoot every time from one on one ok but from 20 we he have two players opening left and right , do not know , Tevez wanna assist more then him, and we run like old farts accept few people , not play like a team, make our few or more then few 100 milions team look funny , defence pffffffffffffff , Manager first 11 and tactics and responding in the game 0 ,and WE GOT A POINT .That is positive.

Really, I saw him give it away on numerous occasions. I just dont think he should be starting in the champions league at the moment.

I tend to agree, he probably should be blooded in 'lesser' games, then again he will learn more from tough CL games. But if mancini has lost faith in lescott, then whos next? not exactly loads of options there.

That's been the situation most games this season though.

Not good enough. Dortmund had another 2/3 gears to go through if they needed them. They walked the rest of the game after the goal, if we had equalised earlier then they would have just stepped it up and battered us 3-1. Only positive was joe hart.

That's not true at all. They still pressed us & had a truckload of chances after the goal. They were excellent (we were rubbish tho in the 2nd half), but I don't see another 3 gears there.

Hard to find a postive other than Hart, who was brilliant.

From where I was sat he just kept lumping it long. 2 were decent balls but Edin was flagged offside the rest either went out of play or straight to them putting us back under pressure.

Looks like a decent prospect but should never in a month of Sunday's be starting ahead of Lescott

Isnt that worrying. Decent prospects should be in our youth set up and bedded in slowely. Not starting for the English champions against Real Madrid away.

If the team & the captain were on top form, I don't think there would be a problem with Nasty coming in & taking Lescott's place from time to time. Vinny would talk to him & help him along, so he would improve quickly. When Vinny is clearly all over the place, sticking a 19 year old kid next to him is a joke & Nastasic is learning nothing, just making Vinny even worse.

After the goal they let us keep the ball in our own half. They moved men back and the second we crossed the halfway line pressure was applied. They still created chances even with just 1 or 2 men in our half because we were fucking piss poor and gave the ball away but they were not playing to the best of their ability after their goal.

It's easy to see these things when you watch the actual game and not just city.
