The champions league is a steep learning curve, and it is valuable experience, even if we get knocked out we will hopefully be back next year!
So what? We're 2 games into a 6 game schedule so I'd hardly say we've been 'found out'. The Premier League is what it's all about anyway, the CL just gives FM freaks and fat couch jockeys something to talk about during the week when they're not watching QVC.
Villareal are terrible right now.
I'm not a city fan but I think they've done quite well so far in the tournament.
Bayern have the team to beat all english teams in the competition so they shouldn't be too disheartened by that result. And Napoli are looking better and better all the time, they'd test alot of the usual big teams.
However Villareal are in poor form right now, and don't really have the players anymore to threaten teams like they used to. So if Villareal win, then yeah maybe Man C have been found out.
I highly expect City to win though. Then a draw or win either way in the other game will put them right back in this tournament!
Thats odd because when Liverpool won the champions league in 2005 and reached a further final in 2007 the red half of Salford were out in force to tell everyone that the domestic league was were it was at.
I'm confused
Kind of an obvious article really - did it really need pointing out that a competition that takes the best teams from each European nation will be the biggest test of a team's quality?
But then, to say that City have looked average kind of defeats your own point. Average what? An average Champions League team? An average team in a competition that will, in your own words, "always be king"?
Doesn't sound like something that warrants too much criticism to me. I think I might just be able to live with that. Especially so in our debut season.
