City Vs Borussia Dortmund (CL) Post Match Thread

[ZZmaestro]

Dazed, confused and gutted, how else could you feel after such a terrible display.

The problems we are facing are always the same :

1) Our pressing is desperatly weak, it lets the other side so much time and space to build their attacks that it is criminal

2) Yaya needs a fxxxing rest, tonight he was blatantly burnt, and when you have a 20%-Yaya there's no point playing him, you only risk him to be injured

3) As i keep saying since that terrible transfer window, the NDJ-Garcia/Rodwell' deal has to be one of the worst in history of mankind.
From the start of this new season we have to cope with unsecured, slow, uninspired and clueless deffensive midfielders.
The vision of our squad being toyed like a pub team will now haunt my memories like a horrific nightmare, thanks for that Bob !

Dortmund were great,Joe was great.Happy with the draw,never a penalty in the months of Sundays.
Missed Barry big time and all of a sudden our captain is a worry.

Yaya and Garcia in a two is a total train-wreck. So pedestrian and laboured defensively. We missed Barry so much tonight and Milner has to be given a chance as our legs in the middle of the park over Rodwell (who just isn't ready yet). I think the treatment of Milner has been absolutely appalling. Im not saying he's a world-beater but without Barry we've seriously lacked the legs in midfield that he could provide. If Fletcher/Cleverly can play in the CL for that lot, then surely we can make use of an England international.

joe hart was amazing

1st half was pretty even but they are class, fast as fuck and very dangerous

What is Rodwell doing in the Champions League? He's well out of his depth for us in the Premier League never mind at this level.

I can see us getting 10n points and going out again!!

I would buy both their wingers in a heartbeat!!

You talking about Gotze and Reus? LOL. Gotze is the golden boy of the golden generation. I reckon he and Neymar will be the best in the world at some point. Would cost a fortune. Reus is a Dortmund fan, and wanted to return home. Again would need Dortmund to implode for this to happen.

Nasri hasn't looked fit since he has joined City and he looks like carrying a large amount of extra weight,

For fat bastard he sure ripped through your lot last time out ... and the time before that...

what did garcia do wrong tonight

and how do you think lescott would have handled their pressing

Garcia makes Dejong look like Messi , A more experienced midfielder like Milner or Barry should have been brought in and not Rodwell , This is the UCL not a preseason game Lescott is more experience and has more physical presence than Nastasic . Tevez is a workaholic and UCL quality attacker . Truely Mancini is clueless.

you didn't answer the question. what did garcia do wrong tonight, or are you just going to keep in your de jong nostalgia. he's gone, garcia is here, now tell me what he did wrong tonight.

Those shitty long passes that never got to Silva or Zabaleta . NDJ keeps it simple , He doesn't lose possession and does what he does best : PUT IN THOSE CRUNCHY / CAREER THREATENING TACKLES and that's what we are missing , Garcia gives his opponents the chance to "enjoy" playing in the midfield whereas
NDJ wouldn't give you half the chance to do that . Btw its not just about tonight , Garcia messed up in the RM game and in the Arsenal game too . I'm not saying his is a shitty player maybe he has just lost form or maybe the training here is different from his last club and he would need sometime to cope ......I hope i am right though.

At least with the europa league we have a great chance of winning it.

the treatment of milner is disgraceful
