That's a wrap from us then. A bad week in the Champions League for the Premier League sides. Can our lads in the Europa League fare any better?

Join us tomorrow night and find out.

Pete in Falmouth: Yes, City are technically still able to qualify. Can you really see them beating Bayern AND Roma on current form? Even one would be pushing it...

Ben Matthews:, external Man City players seem to expect to win without effort. They don't sprint and harry and chase. Resting on their laurels.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "It's difficult to understand why we played such a low performance today.

"We played well against Manchester United at the weekend and we had a chance to win here at home.

"But if you give away two poor goals, you make it hard for yourself.

"It's not my place to criticise the referee, especially in this game when his mistakes weren't just the difference in the result.

"I don't want to link the referee with the result."

The more you see Diego Costa's 'offside' goal, and Oscar's penalty appeal, the worse they get...

More from The Independent's Ian Herbert on Manchester City's performance: "Maybe a little bit of fear is necessary in players - a bit of an edge that a manager can give them.

"You thought that when City went out of the league cup last week, Pellegrini might have given them a bit of a talking to.

"But, he hasn't really shaken them up and they currently look like a side incapable of coming back in to games when they fall behind."

Jamie in Leeds: Why are teams sticking to their current transfer policy of signing unproven foreign players? Its pretty obvious over the last few years that this isn't improving English teams in Europe. Why not start focusing on academy players and developing quality players? Better for English talent and cheaper surely?

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho when asked what he thought of travelling Chelsea fans asking him to give them a song:

"Forget it."

More reaction from Jose Mourinho - who felt that Diego Costa should have had a goal allowed instead of being ruled out for offside.

He is also not happy with his side.

"Many times surprises happen when people are not fully focused, when they believe the game can't be a difficult one," Mourinho said.

"Only when Maribor scored did the players realise the game was in danger. After that, a fantastic reaction. We deserved to win, clearly.

"We scored two goals, two very good goals. The second goal, the referee (Italian Daniele Orsato) decided to disallow but it's a clear goal.

"Normally we should win because we scored two goals. But we have to accept it.

"We didn't reach the number of goals that we should have in the second half, but the team played well. And we scored a great second goal.

"And the referee's team did not have a good night."

Dan in Northwood: Out of the combined 16 CL matches involving premier league teams this season, the four English clubs have kept just 2 clean sheets between them, both from Chelsea. Best league in the world defending with like this? I doubt it. Spanish clubs have kept 8 and German clubs 7. In fact, if it wasn't bad enough, Spanish clubs have kept more in this week of matches alone then the English teams in the whole group stage. Worrying.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique says "Lionel Messi is without doubt the best player I've seen as a player and a coach".

Since his Champions League debut in December 2004, only 12 teams (including Barcelona) have scored more goals than Lionel Messi's haul of 71.

That is incredible...

Ben in Northumberland: Manchester City are crumbling under the weight of expectation. Yes their squad has star quality, but no-one reaches European football and walks straight into the semi-finals.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't think the sendings-off decided the match, it was in the first half when we weren't ourselves

"It is a crisis of confidence and we must find out why by talking to the players everyday and working together.

"You can never imagine you are out when the maths says you are still in. We must try and work hard and get back to our normal style of play."

David in Bristol: Best premier league team performance in the champions league this week? Probably Liverpool with their so called second string team!

Ian Herbert from The Independent speaking on BBC Radio 5 live: "I thought Yaya Toure looked better tonight - until the sending off.

"But there were just two shots on target from City in the second half after they were behind and that seems to be the problem with Manuel Pellegrini's sides.

"His 4-4-2 formation is not very ambitious."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "It is very difficult to understand how we played so bad from the beginning. We were so nervous, we gave away two bad goals - we didn't play.

"It is difficult to know why. It was such a low performance from important players. It is a strange moment. It is not just this competition. In the last two weeks we are not playing.

"I don't understand why but we must find a reason because we must arrange a situation.

"It is a crisis of confidence."

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho told Sky Sports: "In the first half we didn't play well. I was not happy with the team or the performance. I changed at half-time with the conviction that team was going to improve. I was proved right, but they scored, their belief was higher and our players starting feeling the pressure.

"When a player plays as well as Eden Hazard, he can miss a penalty and still be the best player in my team. We paid the price of not a good first half and their goalkeeper was fantastic.

"This referee I have a long story from my Italian times but I don't want to go in that direction. Better to praise a team that gave everything and fought fantastically well."

Liz Tray:, external Utterly disgusted w behaviour of Toure/Nasri. Throwing players to ground? Kicking them? We do NOT do that at City. Fine them.

Yay Toure scored a brilliant free-kick tonight.

But how does he do it? It's all about the parabola, and hitting the ball at a 13-degree angle...

Read our iWonder guide on the maths behind free-kicks. You might even learn something.

In the end Blackpool cling on for a point.

The Tangerines were in control at 2-0 up before captain Tony McMahon lost his head and was sent off for kicking out five minutes before the break. It gave Fulham a route back into the game.

A good point, but it's not enough to move Blackpool off the bottom. Kit Symons's Cottagers stay in 21st.
