*** Official Man City vs Real Madrid ***

[Blue Blood]

Giving too much respect to Madrid.

We are letting them play!

[Dameerto]

Maicon has been shocking, is zaba on the bench?.

If it is still 0-0 with 20-15 minutes left I hope we go for it and bring aguero on instead of trying to grind out the draw.

They showed a shot of Zabs warming up, so he is certainly on the bench.

[Green & Blue]

I would like us to actually keep possesion in the second half.I think we left our passing at home

[Ted Hughes]

Maicon is an attacking fullback. He's making the runs & doing that job. Why the fuck you would start him in a game like this is fucking mind boggling, same with Nastasic.

[mr_nool]

Nastasic is far, far, faaar better than Savic. There was a moment with that spastic di Maria and our lad brought the fucker down.

He looks prepared to play the big boys.

Not if you listen to the so called expert muppets on the "our backline " thread.

Hilarious.

Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day ... So how many times had you seen the lad play before tonight?

The lad got left for dead with a straight pass which your average run of the mill defender would have covered. Not his fault; he's just a kid. Doing very well for a kid ridiculously thrown into a game where he shouldn't even be on the bench. He's clearly got a lot more about him than Savic, including luck.

Once again I agree. Unless Lescott is injured, I see no reason whatsoever to play with two new players - one of them an inexperienced kid - in the back four.

And if you were going to start him, do it behind Milner at least.

[ayrshireblue]

Should have been Dzeko on for Nasri with Tevez dropping a but deeper. Would have given an easier out ball and a target for Clichy or Maicon to hit.

Agreed

[blues-clues]

There should be a law banning ITV from presenting sorry destroying football. Adrian Childs should be put down

How about you support the team thats out there playing instead of whining about getting Lescott on.

If Lescott was on RM would have scored..which was the pattern of play this season in all our matches with him in defence..as it stands we are nil nil with arguably the best team in the world.....at their gaff.

[Risby]

Still 0-0, so lets hope the lads have seen what they can throw against us and can now settle down and play football.

[lets all have a disco]

Zabs,Vinney,Lescott and Clichy is our best back line and i dont give a hoot what Carl thinks.

[PeterParker]

Micah instead of Zabs and the rest is beyond great.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Glad Mancini thinks otherwise.

[Alex Sapphire]

Tranny having a laugh with Tevez and covering his mouth to avoid lip reading.
truth in the rumours?

[Crossie]

2 mins gone, its gonna be the same again.

[Dameerto]

COME ON CITY - feed the Yaya.

[Crossie]

This match was made for Balotelli, some individual skill and a goal.

Instead we're going to have to pray that we can grind something out.

[Mike J]

fuck off kolarov, just fuck off

[hyper]

Fuck me Kolarov....
