****City vs CSKA Moscow****

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Nasri must be pissed at his relegation as well, he has been playing well and Silva comes back and raises his game another notch. At least we have two very good players fighting for that position.

Weird listening to the pre match stuff on SKY.Seems to only focus on the negative aspects as usual.
The pitch,Lescott not being picked,Dzeko not picked,changes in the back 4 from Saturday,Garcia not good enough.

Why not the positives like Aguero's form,Negredo looking quality (ok they did mention this),Silva in fantastic form,Fernandinho really getting to grips with the role,Yaya dominating midfield etc etc.

Nice 2 nil win thanks.

[Saul Goodman]

Not surprised to see Navas come in or a rotation of the full backs or Negredo. I don't understand the Garcia bit...it must be a Spanish-speaking thing. Has to be.

Not the lineup I'd play but it should be strong enough

[Slim]

Garcia is playing according to SS.

Does anyone else have a sense of paranoia regarding UEFA?

The seeding system, "financial fair play" and now this.

A willingness to move to a better pitch for other teams but not City.

If United fail to even qualify for a couple of years, would they still be seeded? Is suspect so.

[CuteMancs]

Nothing to do with the game, but I love that its the Kinky Arena :)

COME ON CITY

[Ted Hughes]

Avoid giving away stupid free kicks.

If Liverpool had qualified for the Champions League this year, they would have been in the 2nd pot.

It looks very cold and windy.

COME ON CITY!

3 at the back in Europe? Oh dear, not this again....

[Dameerto]

That lineup is a sign of how important this game is to us - win in Moscow and it's a big step towards getting out of the group.

It's 4, Zabs, Garcia, Nasti and Kolarov.

All part of Murdoch's evil empire. Commentators and pundits used to expert and objective but not any more!

[Dameerto]

Did they get a group discount on haircuts or something?

[mr_nool]

The manager of CSKA is called Slutski.

Just sayin ...

WTF was Yaya doing letting that one go?

[CHOPPERmcfc]

It's 4, Zabs, Garcia, Nasti and Kolarov.

Pre match line up said Kolarov, Nasti, Zabs

Seem to be playing as you stated thank The Lord.

[ruralblue]

I just remember that we play in Russia in 18, i could miss game FFS!!!

Oh you missed the game?

Edin scored six (no ones ever scored seven), Edin then saved a penalty, then Edin gave physio treatment to Yaya, Edin made every throw in which was of course recieved by Edin and all through the game the whole stadium chanted Edin too! ;-)

Shensuke (sic) Honda. Forgot about him. He looked ace at the last World Cup.

I wasn't sure whether you were having a go at Garcia, like it was playing with 3 at the back.

[CuteMancs]

Drifts off in a gay fantasy
