It is quite upsetting.

Fernando was wreckless with a few of his tackles, but overall I love this team's physicality.

I thought Fernando was a great buy for you guys.... Surprised he stayed at Porto so long...

A MF 3 with him Yaya and Fernandinho is pretty stout...

i do too. i can't believe there were only three guys in the starting 11 who are under 6' tall. seems like a rare thing.

I think it is going to be tough to get City in the league....FA cup who knows....also they are gonna make some noise in CL too.

City looks to be a damn solid team end to end pretty much.

I keep hearing this every year but it's really yet to happen. Maybe City can make a run this year, though.

Also, how do you coordinate your midfield with a Fernando and a Fernandinho? That must get confusing from time to time.

i think this year city have the best shot they've had. we've maintained a core group of guys who have been gaining CL experience to go along with the additions/depth we added this summer.

hopefully we can get a more favorable draw this go 'round and we can make something happen.

I think Fernando's addition will be huge for CL. That 4-2-3-1 line up with Yaya behind the striker is perfect for tough, grind'em out knockout games.

All of the signings this year will. I feel like we had a solid XI for CL last year but clearly the injuries hit us at the worst possible time. They signed dept. Its great.

City has made some progress each year. Last year they made out of the group stage, but it seemed the team had no confidence in beating Bayern (1st leg) or Barcelona. This year they need to have that belief they can beat anyone.

City = Napolean and 19 other Empires for each PL League team.

A little more interesting than PL Team = College Football.

Balotelli to Liverpool.
Samaras to West Brom.
Bojinov to West Ham.

I hope this means Jo to Burnley is next.
