Not really.

Robben is absolutely pathetic, Podolski's goal was great - Pandiani like and Fabianski's penalty save is already one of my favourites.

Arjen Robben is a fucking cunt though. Wenger calls him out for diving and he feels like he's being treated unfairly. Really hope someone knocks them out this year.

Could be off.

City have at least got the luck tonight.

Carroll.

If City actually started playing this feels like it could be a 'one of their night' nights.

I can see why they'd rather Deimechelis plays.

Screaming in an officials face is always pathetic.

How many players have they got that can actually come in and do a job when the first team get injuries/suspension?
They must have spent a good £200m+ on absolute dross over the years.
Sam
To be fair, that's mainly due to Mark Hughes.
They need a new center back, having to rely on Lescott and Demichelis is never a good thing.
Ninja
Well yes, that doesn't help but things like Lescott and Milner playing in a Champions League quarter final is definitely something they could have addressed long before now, and they cost a combined £50m-ish.

Not very many. It's basically the combination of handing Mark Hughes a massive suitcase full of cash and telling him to go for it and the disastrous transfer window after the title win when we spunked millions on Rodwell and García. We've ended up paying over the odds for decent (but not exceptional) players and then spent one of the most important windows we've had buying bad players.
It's why I scoff when we're talked about as having the best squad in the league. We probably have the best XI and a very good squad but compared to Arsenal or Chelsea we don't have the strength in depth.
Very harsh on Milner, he's far, far better than Lescott and considering the threat Barça have down the flanks it's not unreasonable to have him playing out-wide. Fair point on Lescott though, that problem should have been solved after he almost lost us the league against QPR.

Milner more than deserves to play in a CL QF, what a ridiculous statement.
Lescott just showed why I prefer RVD.
Dzeko was awesome when he came on, Negredo hasn't looked bothered recently

Credit where it's due he was very, very good when he came on.
He's really not. There's far more to his game than simply work-rate. He's not at the same level as Yaya or David Silva but that doesn't mean he's a bad player.
Ninja
I didn't say he was a bad player, I said he was an average one.
I can see why he's a decent player to have around the squad, but when you're paying the money you have done for players you can certainly do better, and certainly, in terms of players that are going to make meaningful contributions to a team winning on big European nights he's low down on the list.
