Decent half. Still not clicking like they do with Silva running around out there but still 2 up at the half. Good to see Micah get on the score sheet.
If we could finish it would have been an intersting game. Ba had 2 chances to score in first half, then Ben Arfa hit post at start of second. We got outplayed, but I can't be too upset. Good game though, excited for the game at SJP(fuck calling it anything but SJP)
Win here clinches advancement past group stage, loss almost eliminates us (Napoli should beat Villareal) and a tie leaves things wide open. Correct?
Just got home and saw the replay of first half highlights. Cavani's goal was pretty unfortunate. Glad to see we could take advantage of some shitty D and have Balo snag one.
A lot of poor performances out there. Would have been good enough for a draw in the league but not in the CL. lol at the people suggesting starting Clichy/Richards would have made a difference. Yes lets allow their trio to go 3 on 2 against Kompany and Lescott. At least with AK13/Zab out there it was 3 on 3 for the most part. Appreciate that NDJ and Dzeko decided to do their best invisible man impressions. Yaya looked like a sack of potatoes rolling around in the middle of the pitch. Oh well send the kids/reserves out in the EL.
Hey, guys, what are your people saying about Tevez? Lot of rumors in Italy that he might be heading our way. Having the best looking club of all time seems like forever ago.
Quit following any Tevez info last month. Could no longer handle the general cuntiness of the situation.
Interesting starting 11 Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Yaya, Barry, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Aguero Have to think that Silva is going to play off of Aguero and YaYa sliding forward when he gets the chance.
Questionable hand or arming of the ball outside of the box by the keeper. 50/50 call Nice shoulder by Kompany Lescott being stupid. Could use Dzeko or Mario in the 2nd half. Need someone to start pairing with Aguero.
How was that questionable? He kicked the ball at him from a yard away, they never call handballs for that type of thing.
They have called it on several occasions this season. If it was on the goal side of the body; it would have been called
to you Joe Hart sir. Saved the point. Still 5 clear. Mario being Mario. He misses the Carling Cup match. Also Barry picked up his 5th booking and will miss that match as well.
It is possible. Lots of good scenarios. Could see Pool/Cardiff with the Bellamy returning to Cardiff storyline. A derby rematch would be fun and might actually send the old man to the grave if City win.
Got the worst possible draw. Starting at home against Liverpool the week of Jan 9th and at Liverpool the week of the Jan 23rd Should be rested for the first leg. The second leg might be interesting. Play against Spurs on the 22nd.
