First off lets start with the ref (And this is by no means an excuse) Terrible, inconsistent and who can you get 2 players mixed up FFS!
He should be sacked immediately and sent back to Greece to pour Mythos and serve Lamb Kleftiko....Not fit to ref at this level.
As for the team....No hunger, No fight, No guts, No passion, The tempo was a disgrace and the Passing diabolical.
Clichy great game against United and then he goes back to serve up this dross its bye bye in the summer i'm afraid.
Yaya great free kick that was it, how can guy his age be so stupid and lose his discipline in a vital match like this?
The defence all over the place and has been for the last month.
I don't blame Pellegrini in this at all, the players let him down big time.
We are still in with a slim chance of going through but lets face it, we will only embarrass ourselves in the second round against a top side anyway
Absolute disgrace

He got injured and his form struggled sure, but he cost us £16m and Valencia have commited to buy him in the summer for £23.7m.
Got a lot of goals from him and made profit..good signing

No it's not. Because he came back and played loads and was crap.
You got six good months out of him. Hardly a good signing, especially now he's no longer here, and we are discussing the current problems in the squad due to your transfer business.

He was rushe back from injury needlessly, got injured again and never regained his form last season. He got injured again before he could eben try to regain it this season. Selling him would be good business considering we'll make a decent profit but the fact we didn't/couldn't buy a replacement is a major factor towards our woes this season along with the indifferent form of Toure, Dzeko and Jovetic.

Fair enough.
What do you make of Jovetic? That's been a worse signing, to be fair.
I can understand why you signed him as he looked such a talent in Serie A but other than the start of the season I can't really remember many games where he's played well for you.

Had one good game, Liverpool at home. Does plenty of running but likes passing to his 'invisible' friends.

Jovetic only managed a handful off apperances last year due to injury so it was hard to judge, this year was going to be the making of him.
After a good preseason it looked promising but to be honest apart from the Liverpool game he has been average.

Good news for you that Nasri is back.

The issue isn't whether he was a poor signing or not. The issue is that we haven't replaced him.

Exactly, and I've said since the summer it would haunt us.
