I thought it was an interesting spectacle. PSG are a good side despite the pre-game hype the commentators were spewing. They came with a game plan to sit back and catch us on the break and we snuffed it out, largely thanks to our back four who were all great. In fact the team was great, right up to the forwards who couldn't hit the proverbial cows bum - or pick their noses, never mind pick the correct run. Sturridge has the excuse of maybe trying too hard, the rest are just elsewhere in their heads. Hopefully after christmas they will be elsewhere in the world.

Elano looked great for about 6 minutes, then he looked like someone had ripped his heart out - something not right there.

No coincidence that PSG started to break us down when Haman came on. I keep imagining Arshevin in that spot - how tasty would that be?

so boring i fell asleep!!
city want to be seen as a top team. they have no chance with performances like that!!.PSG were awful and it was a chance for the likes of Elano,Jo,Vassell and all the other lads that don't start a match to show that they can do. All a bunch of gutless wonders!!

Oh come on, don't join in the instant success rubbish that the press vomit out. For the last few games, City haven't bombed forward leaving themselves open at the back, so this has to go down as a cautious patient display, which is another learning exercise (remember Arsenal in the Champions League early years? They were naive and went out) We didn't need to win for a start, and I thought the patient play was excellent. Yes it's boring if you paid your money for goals, but as a side that hits others on the break, City had to settle for roles reversed. I accept the criticisms of Jo and Elano, speaking as someone who has been patient with them (and let's face it, to be a City fan you HAVE to be patient), but apart from that it was the tactics once again. In other words, apart from the odd aimless cross, City expected to play through the middle in this game, and the last game against Utd and the game before that - predictable. Ireland and Kompany were joint men of the match for me tonight and we missed Shaunie desperately as he is the playmaker for Stevie Ireland.

i have been one in recent months who questioned whether hughes was the right man for the job and some of my fellow city fans have shot me down inflames

so it is surprising to read some of the comments

the postives - city did not lose or concede and are top of the group table -


the negatives - lack of punch in front of goal

jo - lacking confidence

-

i am prepared to given hughes time and righty so - he is a good manager


what city need is consistency and with one of two new signings in the right areas - we will achieve that

but it is going to take time and it will not be over night sucess

patience is the key

The two Brazilian lads looked totally devoid of confidence and didn't really put much of a shift in. The 19 year old Sturrdge showed better movement than any of the other forwards used and Ireland as always gave it everything. Never thought I'd say this but Ben Haim had a good night to but without natural width City looked lost. His team mates don't know what Vassel is going to do because he doesn't know himself most of the time. I hope when the signings are made they are not at the expense of players such as Sturride and Hart, these lads are the future of the Club.

Its always poor performance , Man united out played not only that they are outclassed mancity , last night PSG was unlucky or it could have been 0/6
It was never good even Hull outplayed Mancity
Mancity now is the club any one can take points from, poor performance always , and we know why!!
you lost /drawn all your major games , you will be out of Europe because you are not good enough as well , we said that million times , the owners are bad luck , just hang on and try to avoid relegation this season i think it going there now
it will be fun to watch the richest club in the world playing in the championship, cant wait !! wow
Small reminder
Ireland, are you still invincible ? Guess not

Another defeat for City at the weekend and we could find ourselves 4th from the bottom on Monday night,its a situation Mark Hughe will surely not relish because his job is under threat now.I have no sympathy with him whatsover because his team selections,tactics and motivation are wide open to debate, in essence he is CLUELESS that much so he could be a 'PLANT' I'll leave it at that,Garry Cook and our new owners have to sort this mess out now before its too late.

Lose to Fulham on saturday and I think Hughes will be sacked regardless of our postion in the UEFA Cup.Hughes is making decisions that are total suicidal bodering on a cynical sabotaging theory --so be it.

Out of the players I saw on the pitch last night I think should be heading out in the transfer window; Evans, Elano, Hamann and Vassell-and if Jo doesn't improve he should be shown the door come the end of the season. We need players with consistency and commitment if we are to step up a level. These players have had plenty of opportunities to prove themselves and are not up to the task. Stick with Sparky, he will weed out the wheat from the chaff and bring in real quality to the side.
