Of course it's his fault. I would've backed Otamendi to put that away.

He played where he did because Aguero had to go off.

There's absolutely no excuse for a player like him to miss a chance like that, I'm not having it. It was absolutely shocking.

Spot on. conference standard finish and that's been generous.

I remember when we signed Silva, and about 4-5 months into his City career, some people were convinced that he was to small to ever make it in England. It takes time for players to adjust to the prem.

You cant judge players until they have had a full season in the prem.

Sterling will improve. But if he's bad finisher (which we all know), why play him as striker?

Does he deserve all the stick he's getting? Does he deserve being called a poncy prick and other personal insults that have nothing to do with football? I don't think he does. Call him out for missing a chance or for losing possesion but we're becoming too quick as a fanbase to revert to being nasty twats when there's no need.
He's a young kid at a new club. He's got a huge price tag weighing him down and a national press willing him to fail so their beloved Liverpool can point to wonderful business whilst we're painted as the mugs.
The lad needs a bit of backing, not torn to shreds.

You're right. But, the sad fact is that if you can't side foot it straight into a net from four yards, you probably shouldn't have been a footballer in the first place.

The stakes are high and although I agree you have to give him time there have been chances that frankly, were harder to miss than score.

No words, it was all in place to go and not lose. Lots of chances, no goals. One chance for juve, one goal. Pisses me off.

Defensively this team was ok. Midfield was alright but attack was non existent.

With no striker (don't even count the unfit aguero as one) were not going to win any games, I can't see where we're going to end up. Actually I lied, barca or bayern await, don't tell me otherwise.

Juve played brilliantly, pogba was exceptional and showed why we should've took the plunge.

Joe hart got injured, the medical team is really taking the piss now, how many injuries is that? Sack them all now.

Yaya was shocking, yet again. Fernandinho off for Delph was questionable, killed off any chances we had really, even though Delph played well and showed why he was recruited.

Sterling had a golden chance, same for fernandinho.

Pellegrini tonight has shown what a fraud he is, mancini's team, who has pellegrini even recruited that has actually looked alright? Fernandinho signed before pellegrini was even here so don't say him, when the time is right (end of season), he has to go. Enough is enough, guardiola or ancelotti await.

Sorry, my mistake.

Apology accepted.

We will still top the group.

Sevilla are the Europa holders and will want to be in it.

They will also believe we will do our job against Mochengladbach.

All to play for.

i don't think we will
juve will top the group with a draw and that they will go there and try to take while sevilla will be forced to win the game on the premise that we will beat BM.....i think it's over and i'm putting my money on barca or bayern in the last 16 as our next opponent

So, your saying Sterling shouldn't be a footballer?

No clean sheet then

No clean sheets for a while!

But he's been missing sitter all season :) It was no surprise to many here. That's why I thought it was wrong to play him as a striker.

We were unlucky tonight. We are getting destabilized by injuries and were up against one of the best teams in Europe.
If we had scored first, and we should have, it would have been our night.
Don't worry blues, we're comfortably in Ghent last 16, nearly top of the Prem and should be in the semis of the league cup soon.
