What language do you fancy for the second half? I might give Icelandic a bash.

[I have no idea. I'll get someone to have a look...]

Ally McCoist
Former Scotland striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"I am very surprised  at how poor City have been in the first half, the injuries have taken their toll but the overall play has been poor, especially in the final third.

"There seems to be a lack of urgency and a lack of confidence on the right hand side with Jesus Navas."

Francis Edwards: £65m City paid for Sterling and Navas. Neither winger can pick a pass and neither of them can shoot straight. Madness!

Chris Coates: These are supposed to be among the best sides in Europe?! Pathetic display from both teams, worst half I've seen in ages

Groans and moans ring out from the stands as Jesus Navas leads a rare attack forwards but plays a shocking pass to Sergio Aguero and the ball runs out.

I thought Preston 0-0 Bolton was a shoe-in for the worst game I've seen all season but ladies and gentlemen we have a contender!

"What City have to be careful of is to not go 1-0 down before they have even started. They don't want to let in a sloppy goal and realise, 'We have to get our house in order here'."

Dave: Kompany and Otamendi injured, that's surely the end of the season as far as challenging for a trophy goes for #mcfc, external

Tim Riley: City appear to have forgotten how to score a goal and with that defensive line......

The most entertaining thing on display so far tonight has been Atletico manager Diego Simeone, who is bouncing around like Bez on the touchline as PSV force a dangerous attack across his side's box.

A PSV away goal would leave Atleti in a spot of strife. And then Antoine Griezmann has a header brilliantly saved at the other end!

If you have the facility to switch channels, I suggest you do.

"Manchester City need to liven up. We talked about complacency but this is concerning."

Thirty-five yards?! Wooosh.

Manchester City's emergency back four cough up their first chance as Martin Demichelis plays a blind pass across his own area but Eliaquim Mangala has the pace to get back and cover. Yaya Toure then surges from the centre circle and starts an attack that ends tamely enough.

Goals have finally gone in in two of the night's Championship games.

Gary Gardner has put managerless Nottingham Forest ahead with a thundering 35-yard right-foot strike against promotion hopefuls Hull.

That's given Brighton the advantage in the race for second place as James Wilson gives them a first-half lead against Reading.

This is a truly bizarre atmosphere now. Like a testimonial. 

Chris Baldwin: with that do City's Premier League title hopes disappear? Mangala and Demichelis don't seem like a title winning pair somehow

That's both centre-backs off injured for Manchester City in the first quarter of the game then. Martin Demichelis comes on to replace the stricken Nicolas Otamendi. Can Kiev get amongst City now?

The first moment of danger comes from the visitors as left-back Antunes whips in a hell of a ball, brilliant cross, and Joe Hart has to push it away. Antunes scored a sensational goal against Everton a year or two back as I recall. The defender is then booked 30 seconds later for hacking Jesus Navas.

Not a lot to shout about so far in the night's Football League action.

In fact - nothing at all. Almost no goals in the opening 15 minutes across seven games in the Championship, League One and League Two. 

But promotion chasing Oxford United have just broken the duck with a goal from their leading marksman Kemar Roofe against struggling Dagenham.

Man City 0-0 Dynamo Kiev (Agg: 3-1)

Manchester City's defensive problems may get worse yet as Nicolas Otamendi needs treatment for a collision with Vitaliy Buyalskiy. Both players are back with us but treading very carefully.

The first chance of the night comes in Spain where Antoine Griezmann is played into the penalty area and Jeroen Zoet makes a big sprawling save!

Atletico Madrid turning the screw.
