It will be a very hard task to go on and win this group as RM has said. It would take some extrodinary results for us to win this group from where we are now.

1st we would have to win all the remaining games. say 2-0
2nd both bayern and Napoli would have to draw the next 2 games. say 2-2
3rd if this happens then the table would look like this

P W D L F A Pts
Man City 6 4 1 1 9 4 13
Bayern 6 2 3 1 11 5 9
Napoli 6 1 4 1 8 8 7
Villareal 6 0 2 4 5 10 2

Should Bayern beat Napoli on Wed then we can forget about finishing 1st and fight for the 2nd place with Napoli. That would then put Bayern on 10 pts. While assuming we beat Villareal which would put us on 7pts while Napoli will still be 0n 5pts which will make the game against Napoli away a game which we dare not lose otherwise it will be the Europa League knockout games for us. I just can't see Villareal beating either of Bayern or Napoli.
 
No niether was I. However I will be happy if we can just get out of this group and into the knockout stages. This however will depend on how we do tomorrow and when we play Napoli away we need to pick up at least 4 points from those 2 games and hope that Bayern beat Napoli at home tomorrow as well. It will be hard going if we should need to win against Bayern at home. Bayern are playing very well at the moment and are not concededing many goals as well, so going into the last game having to beat Bayern at home will be 1 tough task. Our problem is that we have been starting games very slowly, this is somthing that you can't afford todo when your playing in the Champions League. As the saying goses "We need to be in their faces from the start of the game to the finish" otherwise we won't stand a chance of beating Bayern or Napoli.

No, but as every pundit said after the draw we are in one of the the hardest groups i wasn't expecting us to.

It's still possible to win the group, very unlikely but still possible!

If both City and Bayern win their next matches, City would have to beat Bayern by 3 clear goals in the last match to finish top.
 
SorryAndyI just can't see Bayern losing to Villareal at home. It will still boild down to us having to go to Napoli and win,if we are to get out of this group. With Napoli's last game away to Villareal they should pick up the 3 points they need should we fail to win against Bayern in our last group game.
