Thought the main problem was we gave the ball away too easily which meant it just kept coming back putting the defeence under pressure.
Gave away to very poor goals, it can't be right when your keeper makes two world class saves for each of the goals.
Where were also just poor other than the first 30 minutes and didn't work anywhere near hard enough.
Thought the ref was poor, some of decisions???????????? Two fouls in the box, no pen? Challenge for the ball, free kick to bayern?
I can now see why the subs where made, I'm asuming it kicked off at half time hence the complete lack of interest/distraction.
Hopefully the little bastard will never play for us again or for any other club for that matter. He will have plenty of time to see his family now.<br /><br />-- Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:41 am --<br /><br />

3. mancini tactics: well, I guess it's the italian way. you see you're down two to nil, and instead of trying to even the score when you've still got 20 minutes, you think attacking players out defenders in because you don't want to be three or more down. I don't understand that. maybe it's just me. in comparison, the minnows, bloody basel, were two down and came back from that against the scum. I mean, basel. and that's the attitude I wish I'd seen with MCFC.
This isn't FIFA buddy, you can't just throw in extra attackers and think that's going to change the game. If you could every manager would play with 6 or 8 up front.
Get ready to be smashed at the Etihad, your team will be really cocky
I never said that the sub should have been defense out offense in. it was taking out the center forward and bringing on a DM. and at that point, you already know (you've been told at half-time, when he refused to warm up) you won't have anyone to replace the forward you took out. so you've either decided to try and maintain -2, or you believe the team who haven't shown anything in the past 20-30 minutes can score from midfield.
oh, and also... who are 'my cocky team' anyway?
Righto fuckwit, DE jong on to steady the ship as we were getting over run. The idea was then to bring on "he who cannot be named", but seeing that "he who cannot be named" wouldn't play it kind of fucked up. We did not play well and the better team on the night won, but if that is the best you have when we finally hit form you are fucked. There was nothing in your team that I thought was special as we were our own undoing. We can also do what we want when we're getting protection from the referee as it seemed even fair tackles earned you free kicks.
As I say best team on the night won, so well played.
I would have liked to have progressed beyond the group stage but if it doesn't happen I can live with that. It is a huge learning curve
