A frustrating match. We conceded just before half time and were unable to recover and grab a winner.
well done so far. i would keep nigel de jong if i was you even if hedoes risk getting a red card every game ;D. hes still one of the best defensive midfielders on the game.

i would like to see some be manchester cit without de-facing the whole squad though just because of the money you get

Thanks mate - I have only sold Mario Balotelli. I don't like massive overhauls of squads. I did bring in five players but they all have a role and they will all play. Nigel De Jong is my first choice defensive midfielder. He was sent off in the Champions League match so I still have him for the Premier League matches.

Academy player Abdul Razak started his first Premier League match and played really well. It was important to win this game after the midweek defeat in the Champions League.

We controlled the game for the most part. Tim Cahill then popped up in 90th minute to grab the equalizer.
INJURY NEWS

Yaya Toure will be out for 7 weeks after breaking his collar bone in the previous match.
Noticed you've had a fair few draws away from the Ethiad. What tactics do you use when playing away? Ive had problems like this before when i find it hard to score goals & most importantly hold on to a lead..

I have been using a 4-3-3 in most games which has worked well. Recently I have started to use the 4-2-3-1 formation which is more attacking.

We went at Real Madrid straight from the start and it paid off. But then a mistake at the back gave them the equalizer and then Cristiano Ronaldo got them the winner. We now sit bottom of Group A.

62% Possession, 17 shots, we battered Real Madrid but only ended up with a draw. We sit bottom of the group and need a miracle to get out. The best I think we can hope for is a Europa spot.
