Glad to avoid Sporting, Galatasary and Juventus. Please just don't **** this up City.

 

In theory you were a seeded team, you couldn´t face those teams...

 

Those sides weren't seeded were they?

 

Ofcourse they were. :googly:

 

I wasn't sure. They had to play in the qualifiers like Liverpool did, unlike City. Juventus finished 7th in Serie A After all.

 

Thats not how it works though, seeding has to do with points you gatherd in the past during european games, nothing to do with the league. That only decides in wich round you have to start.

Basicly, only the really shitty teams are unseeded.

How are City a seeded team then?

 

City got to like the QFs or something a couple of years ago. That's why they are seeded.

 

Yeah Quarter Finals 2009. Saved Hughes' job really. Everyone forgets that we could have sacked him about a year earlier than we did.

 

this is the 23 man squad vs timisoria.

Given, Hart, Taylor; Richards, Boateng, Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Lescott, Logan, Bridge, Kolarov; Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Yaya Toure, Michael Johnson, Barry, Vieira, Kompany, de Jong; Adebayor, Robinho, Santa Cruz, Tevez.

 

City benefits from the English global coefficient too.

Yaya Toure is playing like shit.

 

Disgusting challenge on Tevez. The Romanian should have gone, they're getting rather physical.

 

HT 0-0. We've had a lot of the ball but no real penetration. Get Johnson on.

 

the romanian side is playing 9-1, they have only crossed the halfway line like 5 times, i hate when teams play anti-futball like this.
balotelli should come on for berry, and yaya is class, you saw how he crossed out like 3 of their players and had a cross into the box. he is just not running much, he has been fasting which means he hasnt eaten or drank in 15 or so hours. it is affecting his game alot.
that romanian player that tackled tevez is a fukin idiot, tevez almost broke his neck, idk how that wasnt a red. all they been doing throughout the game is kick our players.

 

Yaya is playing shit, every pass has been misplaced.

 

i think he just doesnt have the energy from fasting

 

He could have won a penalty in the first half.

 

yaya is playing alot better now, maybe he finally got some fluid as it is sundown and he can brake his fast

 

If he has no energy he shouldn't be on the pitch. Anelka fasts during Ramadan all the time and never seems to suffer from it.

 

well some people can handle it better, but still yaya as a mid has to run alot more and he is a bigger guy.
plus he is on the pitch so he can gell together with the other players

 

I wish Timişoara were based in Transylvannia after watching True Blood last night, yes it made its debut. Still there's Cluj to come.

 

We're dominating this match. We don't need Barry, Yaya and De Jong on the pitch. I'd take De Jong off and get on Adam Johnson. Kompany can step out of the back with the ball, we don't need that many defencive players. Adebayor has been anonymous.

 

Mancini still playing De Jong, Barry and Yaya? What a retard. 3 more or less DMs will never work.

Are you Man City owned by the Sheikh or Birmingham?

 

Barry off, Balotelli on.

To be fair Deano, first 20 minutes Timisoara came at us pretty hard, we needed to make sure we didn't concede too early.
