Fit barry showed at fulham how important he is and gave city the look of last season,you take him out and you get a totally differnt uncertain city.

To Dortmund's and your performance.

Dortmund has problems on the back. But you played in their cards today with easy ball losses in midfield and defense. And that is a meal for a team that is so good on the break.

sick of how fickle some of our fans are, one week garcia amazing and the future of our midfield next week hes shit make your mind up.

It's ignorance. they don't realise that there's football outside of the Premiership, and we've just played the German Champions who thrashed bayern 5-2, not Cluj

I'll accept we didn't play as well as we could. But there's no balance at all.

I've seen Dortmund a lot this season and they're not pulling up any trees, we shouldn't be getting shat on like we did tonight. Look at Dortmund's away results this season. Its Mancinis baffling tactics at fault for tonight, we were excellent on Saturday yet he changes the formation again.

Maybe the Dortmund of this season has struggled , but surely they haven't been playing as well as they did tonite ?????

Even pundits in their own country were surprised by their performance .....

Maybe tonite was a 'glimse' of their title winning form !

Not many will agree with me but I think we should give the Europa League a good go. It will improve our ranking, which will give us a better chance of getting less of a rough group.

i want to see balotelli be given a straight run of games - from the start. since the euros, he appears (jury still out) to have grown up a bit and as a sub, he makes a difference straight away. Always peppering the goal, getting free kicks and generally doing decent damage.

balotelli and tevez starting for me

Its funny how we try to make Dortmund look like Barcelona .

Dortmund lost to hamburg , Drew with Nurnberg and drew with the newly promoted Frankfurt BUT somehow "managed" to hold the champions of England to a draw .

Best team I've seen at the Etihad. They are so fast attacking everytime the went forward I thought they were gunna score. Difference between us and them was pace on the break. We badly need 2 decent wingers.

yaya was awful tonight. and sometimes he seems so clumsy. why not bench him for once?

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I think this group is a bridge too far for us and we need a few more years to develop in this competition.

I dont think our owners will keep listening to that old chestnut

You've got to be heading the sniff list by now.

in any game you have to earn the right to play football and you do that the way Dortmund played as a team unit both defensively then hunting the ball down when you lose it . Lets face facts we were shite but yet again in Europe the team set up was wrong end of. You cannot lose the midfield battle against the best teams in CL and thats what we did with Nasri and Silva playing in the same midfield gave the initiative straight to them especially with posession given up so easily. Too fucking deep and no pace to the forward passing and what the fuck was with the constant long fucking ball ffs has Big Sam been taking training !

You cannot hit long balls playing so deep and not pressing for the second ball absolute dog shit i'm sorry . could and should have been 5 or 6 so much work to turn this around and too many players going through the motions and how the fuck can Tevez not get on the pitch we.ve been here before !!?
