the idiotism just keeps on increasing. so now cech was not one of our best players in the CL campaign? lets just take a look at all the clear cut chances that barca created sanchez hitting post cesc missing his shot after cech saves iniesta shot sanchez one on one and hits the side netting, cesc cleared off the line messi header stopped by cech puyol header brilliantly stopped by cech busquets golden chance with the last touch. and this was just the first leg. lets go to the 2nd leg messi one on one -side netting cole clearing chip off the line cech saves one on one with messi, JT blocks the rebound cech saves puyol shot iva block one on one penalty save sanchez header stopped tello(i think) one on one stopped messi shot stopped and hits the post (cech brillaint save) mascherano shot all this is just out of the top of my head. but dont let me stop u from u delusions of grandeur that barca simply dint have any chance and that cech had a very easy outing just cos a "bus" was parked in front of him. (this does not mean that i dont understand the importance and the effort our defence and each and every one of our player had put in on those 2 days. but sayin cech was not our best player on those 2 days is just LOL) from "circus like performance" to this post, everything has been a brilliant comical read.

juve could afford to take it seriously cos they dint have the pressure of domestic league. they had literally run away with it. i dont expect any such thing to happen with city.

and who made u the sheriff of what i post? i dont reply to posts and comments with the sole intention of creating trouble. i have already said why i want city to be a QFs or a SFs. if u cant understand simple english, its not my fault. it helps us cos it diverts their attention from PL which is the main priority for us. look what happened to us cos of CL and PL title challenge last season. it ended up costing both. also, who cares if "people" will say that city and chelsea won cos of money. we know the truth. we know what happend. and what those victories meant. but just so as to prove a point to some "people" in an argument, i wont endanger our present. city having a run in CL suits us. city's forwards are definitely short of players. aguero, dzeko, jovetic, silva, navas, nasri, milner for 4 positions out of which aguero and jovetic are real injury prone. yaya, fernando, fernandinho for 2 positions.

YES!!! we DID win because of cech's brilliance. it was not a one-man show but a lot of it has to be given to cech. he was our MOTM without a doubt. also, the analogy here makes us barca while sporting is chelsea, just in case u dint understand the analogy i was trying to put forth. our "wastefulness" is being compared to barca's just like patricio's awesome performance is being compared to cech's

Totally get what you are saying. City in a CL QF/SF is much better for us than they going out in the group stages (which at the moment seems likeliest) and giving all their attention to PL.

Not a good comparison? Why? Dint barca LOSE cos of cech's brilliant performance? Was not he pivotal in our CL final victory? If the nani shot had gone in then we would have drawn a match that we should have won but were thwarted by the lisbon keeper.

Why should jose "drop" iva? In the last 3 matches we have played Azpi-luis - bolton Iva-azpi - villa Iva-luis - lisbon He is rotating our FBs well. Plus except for the city match, iva has been GREAT. Last season people were cribbing about his offensive contribution but now that he has a target to cross to and in general has been freat offensively, they are knit picking on a couple of defenaive errors.

Not worth it.Its like saying cech had nothing to do with our victory against barca, it was just barca being wasteful.

Smsh them, annihilate them. Anither 6-0. No arteta, wilshere or ramsey. A joke of a mid and a bigger joke of a defence. Players should be up for it and give then a good spanking. Courtois Iva GC JT AZPI matic cesx Willian oscar hazard Costa

Poor performance but people already want him gone? Just plain LOL. he will be fine, more than fine. Just needs to take it a little easy. Seems to eager sometimes.

Who said anything about rui being WC? but it was once in a lifetime performance that he put in last night. Did jose go and talk to every GK that stopped his team from winning or killing the ganes? And of course he said that we dint kill the game. We had the oppurtunities to do So. But there was a player having a wonderful performnace in front of the goal.

Well, our manager (probably the best manager in the world) was seeing shaking their GK's hand and congratulating him on the performance. That's a bit of an indication of how good he was.

consecutive MOTM performances from him. another one of these against those assholes next up, please!!!

corrected.

lets give credit where its due, their GK had a worldie today. he was absolutely brilliant. on another day the scoreline would have been 4/5-0 EASILY. we could have been 1-0 in the 2nd minute. we were pretty good. created ample oppurtunities. defensively we were a little shaky especially when the lisbon players were running at our players. one of the worst things about today was the number of times we were caught on counter from corners and not for the first time this season. making repeated mistake is an arsenal trend and we should be doing something about that aspect of the game. all the players were good except for schurlle who seems to be on a low. very suprised that costa got 90 minutes considering our next game is arsenal. anyways, good result. good win. clean sheet. 4 points from 2 games with 2 legs against maribor. with the other results in the group, we should be done and dusted with the group by round 4 hopefully.

DEJA VU!!!! please let this not be another schalke.

dude, if u had seen the match, you would call it "unlucky". unlucky flatters him. he was selfish and hopelessly so.

+1. please... streams?

or maybe we just want a player who assisted and scored and in general had a brilliant performance in the last match!!!

any streams?

good rotation of our FBs from jose. azpi-luis in cup, iva-azpi is PL, iva-luis in CL. would have loved willian in place of schurrle. except for that perfect team.

anyone have a link to the youth match?

he has always been a very reliable LB, dont know why people are just realising that. was suprised he dint even get a good run in last season specially since cole had such a bad start.

Nope. Their are actually geniuses out there who still think that all we do is defend. Why? Cos jose had the audacity of being solid as a defensive unit against our only true title rivals at their home and with us having a 5 point lead. Like I said, GENIUSES.

Seriously?So far he has used the 3-5-2 and the diamond 4-4-2 formation. In a 3-5-2 he would have had to play as a wingback. Nani's workrate and defensive contribution is so Poor that he would have been worse than young and valencia. In a 4-4-2 diamond, he has no place.
