Draw is a good result. We played away to a very good team who have already beaten Chelsea in this stadium. I'm satisfied. We seemed like a very good side at some points in the game.

Not a bad result, Man. City have quality players and a draw is a good result. Sissoko played very well, and he deserves a spot over Marchisio who has been playing very poorly lately. Melo and Sissoko, or stick Aqui somewhere in there.

Good game.

Not a bad game by any means but we need to do something about the fact that our midfield can't create anything except for Krasic. If he has a bad game/is marked heavily, our attack is dead. Aquilani as starter is a MUST from now on. Marchisio needs to think things over on the bench.

Very good result.

But considering we have only 2pts now, it's not that great. Overall nice performances.

I think this is the toughest of the group games, so taking a point away is indeed a good result. Or rather, it will be a good result if we do well against the other games.

Not much can be taken from this match, simply because we won't be put in a position more than 2-3 times a year to play an away match as big outsiders and defend in numbers all match long, waiting for a counter.

We did the defending job fine though but like I said, it tells a little because our defense won't have 4 more midfielders to help them in defense all the time.

I grab the point and move on. No negatives and no positives, as if this match was never played.

great result considering the absentees we have in our squad and also considering we were facing city in manchester. still some shaky moments. marchisio needs to be benched for a while bec he should'nt start ahead of either melo or sissoko. hopefully this will make our squad hungry against inter come sunday.

It's a good result, Lech might trouble us...Sissoko played well, Marchisio wasn't even bad, Krasic looked tired and was marked heavily, on another night he would have gained us at least one Penalty, Del Piero went very close.

I think its the result we needed, Del Neri's subs were correct IMO.

Iaquinta for all his good work fucks up too much, he should have passed to pepe on that break.

Our set pieces were lacking a bit, we needed that. Krasic was a bit off but when he is firing and we have pepe we are dangerous, I'm still willing to give Martinez time. Defense played pretty well, massive positive!

The greatest mystery of this game - Marchisio, totally invisible, City players running past him like he isn't even there. Same for Martinez, but i guess hes not match fit coming from injury. Melo was badass :lol:

As if the game was never played? Our 11 guys running, wrestling, striving for 90 minutes just for a game never played, as u said?
