City Vs Borussia Dortmund (CL) In Match Thread

[taconinja]

I hope Rodwell isn't made the scape goat here, we can't pass the ball across the back for 10mins and not expect Dortmund to jump on one of our mistakes

So give me an estimate on how many times Rodwell has to make an absolute fool of us before something is on his head. Please?

whats happened to our defence? we've not had a settled back four all season. Should have started with Zabs-Kompany-Lescott-Clichy and stuck with it. Not constantly switching it up 4 or 3 at the back with different personnel.

In all seriousness, has anyone seen us play worse in the last 2 years than tonight?

Yep against Napoli last year

In all seriousness, what is it that's wrong with us this season and how do you think we can change it?

Mancini's tactics aren't impressing me in the Champ league.He has the third best squad in europe he should do better.

Why can mancini see thet not one of our outfield players is comfortable in this formation?

we're getting abused here, we could be 4 or 5 down. wtf is going on.

Return to a back 4. Good idea.

I would like to see Nasri alongside our defensive midfielder. Needs to work on his defensive grit, but would be ideal for the transition from defense to attack. He wouldn't give the ball away stupidly, he is always accurate with short passes and can find the long ball, and has the ability to dribble out of tight spots.

Most teams have a player who is particularly strong defensively playing a deeper midfield position, because you need the passing ability there. Nasri and Barry with Yaya pushed forward would be dynamic I think.
