City XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Sterling, Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Demichelis, Zabaleta, Mangala, Kolarov, M.Garcia, Iheanacho
It will be good to see some experienced attacking midfielders back on the bench
We are lightweight in midfield.
We sure are!
Still, if they've got it in 'em
Ooooooooooooooooooosh
Anyone got any links? (Shady's Blog has been "removed" from the internet...)
A second goal would be oh so good.
Acestream has no links either

Boooo!
Get in, nice goal
Great stuff
I'll second that. A real professional display
Woah,Silva back on form too!!
It's so nice to see dynamism in cm from the nando's. Yaya moved further back as a ball recycler suits him more than the b2b.
As good as we've played in a long time.
I can't wait for Trev to come and tell us how shit city have been playing
Maybe a rest was a good plan!
Sacrifice a competition you mean? there are still better teams than City left in the CL so I don't see the point of resting them last Sunday. To be the best you have to beat the best in all competitions.
How's Fernando doing??
Got one back have they?
Yup. Big deflection which caught Hart out. Kompany or Yaya should have closed him down really.

I shan't disappoint. That was really shite, and so godamn unecessary. Very Professional ;)
Not enjoying this second half. Dynamo look like they have more goals in them, our pressing not as effective. :-\
Yer, bit of an unlucky goal but should have been closed down. Clichy is doing his best to unsettle our rythm. We've lost the dynamism in the centre and we could do with a bit of a change. Unlucky not to have had a pen too.
Clichy has lost his head
We've got to keep attacking, according to Pelle^
Oh dear Yaya
5 minutes to sweat
Phew. Made up for it!
Rolled back the years there! Nacho for a 4th... bit of a shoddy 2nd half though
Great stuff! well done lads
1st time since 2012 that an english team has won the 1st leg at this stage.
On the flip side, Kiev have never won in england...
Brilliant result.
Excellent win - what little I saw of it from my constantly freezing stream...
Silva was superb - and what a finish from Yaya!!!!
Great stuff City. I loved it. Good game, City much better than the opposition but, of course, there were moments of severe stress. City are back!
The build up to Yaya's goal - Pick that out!!!!

Mark Lawrenson says "Man City were very, very good". Someone might have to pour stephen a stiff drink.
superb..every one of them was excellent..even fernando(and he played on sunday :) )
I thought Sterling was particularly good tonight. Always a threat, good awareness, tracked back...
The 3 1 away win is very good news as the return leg is on the Tuesday before the derby game on the Sunday.
Hopefully, we will be able to cruise and save energy to wipe the floor with the Rags.

yep, the most dangerous i've seen him without kdb in the team
Kiev hadn't played an official match in over two months. I know most of you is desperate for some positives but perhaps that is worth noting.
That's a good point. Imagine how much easier it would have been if they'd been tired.
I see the midjyts gave your lads a fright last night.

Neither had Midtjylland before they beat the rags in the first leg.
Don't engage it, Brendan
:D
