***Official Kiev v City Match Thread***

[guv111]

I can remember two shots from City. Both by defenders.

[french_tony]

I haven't seen such a fine diving performance since Tom Daley at the Commonwealth Games. Shocking from Kiev.

Still, doesn't make up for the fact we have been wank.

[everyonehatesus]

its not just the final ball, we are so bloody green. How many times are we going to let them take the piss, we are just giving them free kick after free kick.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

What the fuck??! Stupid short FK and we're left 3 v 1 ! Why is this allowed to happen at this stage? Twats

[The Original Special One]

How many times, in the last 5 minutes, has Tevez passed the ball to a Kiev player when within sight of goal?

[guv111]

Well saved, Joe. Didn't someone mention England v Germany at the World Cup?

[PeterParker]

This is the most PATHETIC performance of the season, even worst that Carling Cup, with WBA

[MaineRoadMemories]

I blame...
a) The pitch
b) Tired players
c) Too many games to play
d) Balotelli leaving early
e) The cold weather
f) Players not wearing any Snoods

[TomS]

Looks like hard work next week.
We will see how hey work when it has + degrees all day....

Probably better.

Erm Mr Dzeko needs to pull his socks up.

<hups, dzeko is playing???
We are not 2-0 down becausE of him, but have you recognised him throughout the last 2h or so?

Have to face it, on this level of UEFA Cup round you don´t have any easy contrahents on the pitch, and they too their chances....

[PALUS]

this is wath mancini dont understan u need somwone to give ball to dzeko ballo tevez like kiev midefild

[carl_feedthegoat]

fucking shit shit shit...

[Goataldo]

We nick one - it's ours for the taking.

We don't - we're out, and have to focus on the league and fa cup. Glory still beckons no matter what the result of this tie, adn I never thought we were gonna win all three.

It's a fine line between defeatism and positivity at times!

You missed off the ref.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Useless. Everything is too fucking intricate, too slow, it's like a freshly promoted Championship team trying to play Barcelona style football. No pace, nothing direct, no fucking pelting the ball at goal. Absolutely useless.

[Sister of fu]

Our choice of passing is dreadfull at times and why oh why do we never load the ball into the box.

[Florida Blue]

You missed off the ref.

And you missed lack of leadership. Mancini couldn't lead a thirty horse to a watering hole.

[ross.mcfc]

Fucking appalling. We dont even deserve to still be in this tie.

[Slim]

Thank god Mancini has given the 'tired' lads some much needed rest, unfortunately he decided to schedule it for the last two hours.

[avoidconfusion]

I might get insulted for this, but I hope we play the kids or something in the return leg, there is no way we will beat this team 3:0 or 2:0 to get extra time and hope to beat them on penalties.

We should focus on the FA Cup and on finishing 4th now, far more important.

[french_tony]

Fucking shit. Haven't been this angry since a game for a long long time.

Toure, Dzeko, Ballotelli. If you didn't want to play you should have stayed on the fucking plane. Would of been much more useful. Shocking.
