    Well they can beat a German side who have already qualified and will have to be concentrating on the league game the following weekend. Villarreal have been shite so far but can they raise their game for a last hussar and frustrate Napoli? Quite possibly.

    absolutely,only thing is I suspect Bayern will be trying their best to ko one of their main rivals.

    I was very impressed by Napoli-they can match anyone other than barca and real(who are now 11-4)and I will be betting on them at 33-1(bet365)or better

    City weren't utterly outplayed, I'd say City had the lions share of possesion tell the truth but Napoli beat us on the counter, which is what they were set up to do and it worked well for them, no sour grapes from me as City deserved what they got for playing the game at a canter, in the end Napoli could have scored 3 or 4.
    In a way it started very similar to the Bayern game with City doing well then making a mistake with Silva losing the ball, Napoli nearly scoring and then City looked edgy for the rest of the match.

    I'm not going to knock Mancini as he's done great for City but tonight it was pretty obvious City were lacking width and missing Richards wide play, even more so considering we were playing with two defensive midfielders, Zableta just cannot offer the same threat down the right with the consistancy Richards does.
    I also thought Mancini may have played his strongest eleven tonight as the game was so important and was suprised to see him stick with what has become his 'Champions league team'.

    Still it's not over and while it's still mathematically possible there's always hope and even if we do go out it not might be a bad thing considering where we are in the league
    I'm just hoping we can bounce back on Sunday with a good result now as there's still a lot to look forward to this season.

    no they werent utterly outplayed-they were on top for part of the game,I watched some of the second half.
    I have a bet on them to win the champs league at 16s so am hoping they go through but dont see them getting past barca or real.
    As far as the premiership is concerned,it should of course be a great help if they go out(apart from keeping everyone happy)

    Anyway,good luck in the bayern game,slick

    Cheers Hotspur allthough I think we blew our best chance tonight tell the truth, we'll more than likely end up in the Europa cup which I no doubt Mancini will treat as another Carling cup and just concentrate on the league, maybe it's just aswell we don't play the like of Barcelona or Real just yet because on tonights performance we would get stuffed.

    Kin 'ell! Getting your excuses in early or what! :lol

    Losers mentality that Slick. You've spent £100s of millions to put together the 'biggest and strongest squad in the country' (I'm not sure if you've still got the biggest floodlights in the land but I'm sure you'll tell me you have) and you're recycling the old 'concentrate on the league' bollox the Scousers normally churn out? How many more players do you need to concentrate on more than one trophy then?

    Maybe habits don't change eh.

    I never count my chickens Wayne, being a City fan has taught me that and if the Champs league was so easy you lot would have won a lot more of them.
    The league is and always has been a priority, lets just take one thing at a time.

    Excellent result and great to come through the weekend with the 5 point difference intact
    The last 20 mins of the game was very difficult viewing and a loss could have opened the cracks which have been slowly developing over the last fortnight, hopefully City will now take heart from this game and build up some confidence again.
    City also looked a bit jaded in the last half hr or so, I should now imagine the full 2nd string will get a full run out on Tuesday with everyone of todays players rested.

    lol @ drawing United in the cup, what are the bleeding chances of that? and smack bang in the middle of the Liverpool games too.
    December and January's going to be a hell of a couple months for City fans, I'm hoping Yaya will be around for the early part of January b4 he buggers off to the African nations cup.

    Smack in the middle of the Liverpool games you say? Hehe.
    I wouldn't worry to much, i'm sure we'll be struggling to get rid of Southend or Oldham at home at the same time.

    7/1 City to win the FA Cup now, 10/1 Utd
