Ajax Vs City CL Post Game Discussion Thread

He did a great job with Inter domestically but in the champions league he wasn’t good enough. That’s why they binned him off.
In the premier league we are very strong and aggressive but in the champions league we don’t put the same tackles in as we get punished for them.
So, that now leaves us in no mans land in Europe as we try and play different as not get penalised constantly for fouls.

We also have no effective plan B and no pace.

What the suits were doing in the summer needs to be looked at.
We are the richest club in the world but yet we bought Scott Sinclair!! Hes a good player but we should be buying outstanding players!!
Nastasic in time will be a player and hopefully Garcia will come good when fit and settled but we haven’t progressed at all since last season.

Not saying Mancini out but in Europe he just doesn’t seem able to take us further. If we we're playing well and losing fair enough but we play rubbish, look unorganised and repeatedly embarrass ourselves.

Rome wasn’t built in a day but theres only so many times you can make the same errors and not correct them.

A few of our players, namely Lescott and Barry, were badly exposed last night.

Yep.
I can't get their first goal out of my mind, where Barry could have intercepted the cross but instead just watched the ball go past in front of him

Not starting with Tevez and Aguero is a disgrace - Tevez could do a better job in midfield than most atm. No League cup to worry about and we still can´t start with our best 11 (injuries barring) We should have played 4 fookin strikers up front last night and scared the shit out of them. The Spanish press is taking the piss calling us a Ferrari with Massa at the wheel. One journo reckoned he could have got more out of the six players on the bench than Bob
We´re a fookin laughing stock here I can tell you

That's interesting, how others are seeing last night.
Tbf, I can see why Edin was picked after his recent form he'd earned his chance to start. What was a shock was seeing Kun playing left midfield

We're a fookin laughing stock here also.

There is something not right at the club for these repeat bad performances and not just in Europe.

Love that bit about Massa.

That moment was in slow motion for me. I knew it'd go in as soon as Barry left it.

Why?

What happened really?
Has Dzeko transformed so drastically into a super sub that he can't preform in a starting eleven anymore - or was it just not his night? And was it right to play him from start? Just to make it clear; I love Dzeko and thinks he's a fantastic football player and person, both on and off the pitch - I just wonder whats going on.

I live in Sweden, where the match was not showed, so I had to listened to the BBC radio instead but could not really get a picture of how City played - so my question is simply: what happened?
