He was caught out of position 3 times in the first half and didn't put a singly good cross in. He is one of our weakest players.

No he wasn't.
He was caught out of position 3 times in the first half and didn't put a singly good cross in. He is one of our weakest players.
But half the midfield are injured!!!Rammy Blue said:Robbed by the ref and linesmen however that shouldn't cloud the fact that we are simply not good enough in Europe.
No width, no pace, central midfielders with no engine or passing range.
Suddenly we are now trying to play a 4-3-3 where 2 of the mids, Barry and Garcia, are donkeys and we have no genuine pace and trickery out wide.
We seriously fucked up in the summer window and haven't addressed any of our obvious shortcomings. We will still truck along in the Prem but can't see us hitting any sort of decent form until we re-shape our squad once again.
We were much the better team, but still played way below par and seemed to me to be feeling the pressure. I was unhappy with mancini at Dortmund and Ajax but really tonight had nothing to do with tactics. It was 2 sloppy goals, and then players losing composure in the final third

Well said Rammy. Was only saying the same thing about passing range, there is no-one in the team capable of switching the play to the other flank with a cross field pass, passing range is about 10 metres.
Which of our players would win a 100m race? They are all equally as slow, no pace anywhere in the field

Nah mate, Carlos ran his socks off and I reckon Bob had told him to do that and he would be hooked after 65 mins.
Saying that though, Dzeko did fook all for his 25/30 mins on the pitch.....
Tevez looks burned out to me. He is almost 29. he best day are behind him. he cant play all the time IMO.

We have been in the champions league twice, and already some of the decisions that have not gone our way, is an absolute disgrace. 2 pens tonight and a goal - if it was at old trafford all 3 would have been given
blatant pen last week
2 of the most blatant pens i have ever seen away at munich last year
livid...
I said exactly the same watching the game, as soon as we got back into the game the linesman could not keep his flag down everytime we went foreward, & there is no doubt the ref completly bottled it at the end, either give a dead ball & blow for time when the goal kick is taken or give the pen.
People forgetting he blew when we had a corner first half. Added no time for injuries or subs and was just completely against us.
3 goals in the first half means minimum of 1:30 minutes. Was a joke all night

Not too sure about that , i thought Zabaleta was better ....
Clichy is a good player , but i'm none too sure that Kolarov doesn't provide us with better options ...

Terrible set piece defending but, despite the awful start we gave them, it's the officials that ultimately have cost us.
Potential penalty on Yaya in the first half.
Second disalloed Aguero goal looks in line for me so therefore wrong decision to cancel it out.
You'll never see a clearer penalty than the Balotelli one, for 5 professional officials to fail to see the most obvious shirt pull on the planet is bordering on the criminally negligent.
