    To be honest - the sending off shouldn't have too much effect - you still need to defend the important areas and let them pass it around elsewhere. Barca will be happy with a lead with 20 or so to go, so won't be desperate and City have quality so could still get back into it. A 1-0 defeat isn't the end of the world. They have to keep their heads though!

    It wasn't. And yes, DeMichelis is and always has been shite.

    When you say it wasn't what was the in reference to if it was about the comment above saying it was outside the area then yes it clearly was, I love Barca but it was a free kick and a red not a penalty

    Had a chance, but Clichy lacked the quality. That is what will cost City against Barca - you need to take your chances!

    There is a lot of anger against Demichelis but he has been City's most consistent player. True he has been consistently shite but consistent nevertheless.

    Everyone having a love in with Lescott of late should watch that backpass. From an attacking position to giving away a corner.

    Man CIty have more money than God so why they can't get someone better than Demichelis is beyond me.

    This. I can count the number of good games I've seen him have on the fingers of one knee.

    David Silva has been City's best player.

    While were talking about shite, Milner played a full game against Chelsea Saturday so I suppose that is enough for Hodgson to start him at the World Cup but not good enough to start city's biggest game of the season

    Don't let the commentary fawning over Barcelona fool you.

    Apart from Demichelis.

    Agreed. How can people say Milner, Lescott and that lot are any good when you watch a game like this and see complete class. The only English player who deserves to be on the field is Joe Hart, and he's a goalkeeper. The last time I checked a Goalkeeper can't compete against a team at the World Cup.

    city disappointed me in the 1st 1/2 .. if they'd shown as much aggression and commitment as they've shown after the sending off, they could have won this .. the referee hasn't helped (Barca always get away with more then the oppo) but City have shown Barca too much respect

    Joe Hart could've done a bit better with that one...

    Milner is suspended, otherwise he would be playing. He's one of City's most effective players, especially in the big games.

    Silva, Aguero, Yaya, Nagredo, Kompany... Milner? Really? I don't think so mate.

    Milner has been excellent for Man City this year by all accounts.

    Deserves to go to the World Cup.

    Thuram would've saved the second.

    Don't think the tie is over City will just go for it away.

    Milner can do a job when you have quality players around him. He is consistent and you know what you are going to get from him. Do England have those quality players? - not so sure!

    Good game that - City will go for it and make it a great second leg. Shame about the penalty as it was outside when showed in slow motion. Still a red card though and Barca deserved their win.
