It's still true though. He hasn't impressed and we are in match six.

Could say the same about City as a team.

The rest function pretty much the same as the league but it has been Silva who has given them the extra bit of quality in the premiership. In the CL he has been shut out of the game time and time again; that's been their biggest failing.

City to go through, United to go out? Would be quite funny considering the scenario heading into this game.

Villareal had a goal chalked off (wrongly?) apparently. Not watching, think Klaus is.

Not really. They're clearly the better team but they don't threaten the goalkeeper much. It's probably up to Hamsik to do something here. Lavezzi looks like he can't be bothered and Cavani drops too deep.

They should have had a penalty though and Zapata should probably have been off for Villarreal, so they have every right to be pissed at the moment.

it's setting up nicely. anything less than a napoli injury time winner and i won't be happy.

Aye, teams in the Champions League defend that space in front of the back 4 far better.

Class goal from City there.

Walter Mazzarri just got sent to the stands The nutter pushed a Villarreal player off the ball when he came to collect it at the sideline.

Sell Chamakh, sign Frei.

United will win surely. Surely they are not going out at the Group Stage.

United got knocked out of Group stages in 2006, didn't they? To Benfica?

One of the worst clearances I've seen from Basel's right back. Hits the post.

Flippin' eck; did everyone see what just happened in the Napoli game?

Nah it was to Lyon I think that season GM.

No, what?

Napoli 1-0! What a brilliant goal by Inler! I told you they didn't mark him properly.

Manchester in crisis.

It's hard to describe but basically after a crazy scramble the Villareal keeper ended up sliding towards his own goal with the ball in his hands and managed to put it wide of the post by a centimetre. Napoli 1-0 up now though.

Great goal by Inler. So psyched for Manchester to be out in the group stages.

Gomis just scored his 4th goal for the evening for Lyon. Who was the last player to do that in Champions League? Simone Inzaghi? I've got some vague memory of van Nistelrooy doing it too.

Ummm...are Lyon going through at this point? Amazing stuff!
